ID request
Hello JelleD, I've uploaded these two files (1 and 2) which I've IDed as a Andrena cineraria. Yesterday User:Gidip has marked my pics as a wrong ID. Because I wasn't so sure with my IDing I've started another request on a german entomologie forum nearly at the same time. There it was written that the bee could be a Melecta luctuosa. After asking Gidip if he could help me identyfing these two bees of mine he say that you may be the right adress for a help. The pics was taken in Germany, Brandenburg, Potsdam Mittelmark in the early morning on a field (I've also added a geocode template on the picture site). So I hope you can help me and thanks a lot!

Melecta luctuosa
Both photos show indeed a sleeping cuckoo bee of the genus Melecta. The pale white hairs on the thorax, legs, head and the location indicate that it should indeed be the species Melecta luctuosa.

Hi JelleD, as you already helped me with my sleeping Melecta above, I hoped you can also help me with these?! ;-)

The bees on the yellow asters are males of Dasypoda hirtipes.
