Hylaeus (Euprosopoides) ruficeps kalamundae ♀

Swan Coastal Plain, Perth, Western Australia

Terry could also identify this bee for me, the ruficeps component of its latin name is referring to the reddish head of the northern subspecies. This subspecies is bright yellow instead. Identification provided by Terry Houston, of the Western Australian Museum.

Photographed for the Meet Your Neighbours international nature photography project in Perth, Western Australia.
