  DSC_0190.JPG - Bombus lapidarius (the red-tailed bumblebee) using knapweed. Females of this species are all black, with a red tail, and can be distinguished from the similar red-shanked bumblebee (Bombus ruderarius) by the black hairs of the pollen baskets. These hairs (on the hind legs) are red on the red-shanked bumblebee. by Dave Goulson
