A gynandromorph is a bee that exhibits characteristics of both sexes. In the other two species (Lasioglossum and Bombus) the split was bilateral..one side male and the other, female. In this Anthidium oblongatum (an introduced species) almost the entire bee is female with the apparent exception of having a seventh abdominal segment and genitalia. Note on the dorsal view the incomplete nature of the typical flange at the end of the segment. This specimen was collected by David Biddinger in his Penn State Apple Orchard Experiment Station Kingdom in South Central Pennsylvania. Picture was taken by Brooke Alexander. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~ All photographs are public domain, feel free to download and use as you wish.
