I figured since I done one for any year
https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/photography/282621/solitary-bees-share-your-photos-here
I would do one for this year for those that prefer year ones
just like Leafcutter bees and mining bees the Hairy footed flower bee are solitary bees aswell
if anyone manages to get photos of leafcutter bees or other solitary bees this year anyone can share there photos here aswell so if would like to share photos here aswell you can. It will be nice to see other peoples photos aswell

if you are no matter how Wildlife aware you are these sort of things can make you even more so: I usually watch where I’m stepping when it comes to long grass cause there might be insects in the grass but this time i got caught by surprise as I was about to lift my foot up and put it down when I was walking to look for something I spotted a bee. I almost stood on it by acident but spotted it in time. Not something people usually associate with being in long grass so much as flowers and most wildlife with wings would of flown away in this situation not this one. it was alive and moved at some point so probably resting
