Hoplitis spoliata, male, face, NY, Franklin Co_2014-07-01-123221 ZS PMax_14387727028_o Note the odd expanded central antennal segments in this large Hopliits male. Antennas in this and, at times, other groups have all sorts of mods and one wonders what new discoveries await deeper investigation of a detection system that we completely lack.

Inebriate of air am I, And debauchee of dew, Reeling, through endless summer days, From inns of molten blue.
