There is an embankment I know with a huge number of grey-backed mining bees (Andrena vaga) in early Spring. A lot of these Nomad bees also hang around there, since they are the nest parasites of that species. This female was just biding its time, while a female of Andrena vaga was digging a few inches away. HWW!
