Good afternoon!
Here is such a bee caught in the collection (Crimea). Genus Evylaeus, species unknown. But that's not the real question. Even in this terrible photo, it can be seen that it has an unusually long pubescence of metasome sternites, which is usually characteristic of megachilids.

Someone from melittologov, please respond, what is this phenomenon?
