Melissodes bimaculatus (I think) hanging out on a bush, Nebraska
Ah nice shot! Do you reckon it was sleeping? I've seen a Megachile genus bee (i think) holding a twig with its mandibles like that, asleep!
It was flying around to different spots and then getting into this position for a bit, then moving to a different spot. I think it was trying to find a suitable spot to sleep.
God, they're too cute to be real (great shot!)
