Albert Cardona<p>Aquest matí he anat a fer fotografies de bestioletes vora la mar, amb la idea de trobar la meva abella solitària preferida: Nomioides minutissimus. I l'he trobada! Primer en un romaní en flor, però les fotos no foren gaire bones. Després en uns matolls de limòniums, tots en flor, preciosos. Heus aquí una entrada a l'<a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>iNaturalist</span></a> d'aquesta abella tan remenuda, potser d'uns 3 mil·límetres:</p><p><a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/303420300" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">inaturalist.org/observations/3</span><span class="invisible">03420300</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/Hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hymenoptera</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/nativebees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nativebees</span></a> <a href="https://mastodont.cat/tags/entomologia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>entomologia</span></a></p>
