    Can you tell what genus/name of insect, (solitary) bee I suppose, is that ? Photo taken from sout-east Europe, Romania. I guess between: Osmia (leucoperina, leucomelana, ??), Stelis Aterrima, Sarapoda bimaculata. Maybe it's other as well, I'm a totally noob here, but love to see what's around me.
    Cheers,

    Leo.

    P.S. Glad to tell me other related material (bug identification) on net.

    As there are several species of megachilids with a similar color pattern, you will need a clearer image to determine which one fits best.
