Anthophora abrupta, M, Side,PG county, MD_2014-01-30-10.33.18 ZS PMax

            Male, this fun species nests in the walls of my adobe walled house where it aggregates in large numbers where the adobe is thickest.  They create small dropping tunnels at that project out from wall ...function unknown.  Note the massive tongue, unclear, to me at least, as to why, but likely has to do with what flowers it is accessing.

Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Stackshot Sled, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens,  Twin Macro Flash in Styrofoam Cooler,  F5.0,  ISO 100,  Shutter Speed 200, link to a .pdf of our set up is located in our profile
