Female from Padna, Istra, collected in April
1995. |
Osmia submicans Morawitz, 1871 North Mediterranean species, distributed in the sub-Mediterranean,
pre-Alpine and pre-Dinaric regions of Slovenia. Probably oligolectic, specialized on Fabaceae (pers. obs.).
Nests in various pre-existing cavities, mainly in burrows in wood. The cell
partitions are made of masticated leaves and sand grains. I personally
observed a nest in a burrow in wood. Univoltine. Flies in May and June. |
