Dianthidium floridiense
Florida Pebble Bee
Dianthidium floridiense is a species of resin bee in the family Megachilidae, commonly known as the Florida Pebble Bee. It is native to North America and belongs to a genus of solitary bees that construct nests using plant resins. Like other Dianthidium species, females likely nest in pre-existing cavities such as hollow twigs or beetle borings in dead wood, partitioning cells with resin walls and sealing the entrance with a resin plug. The species is part of a group known as "pebble bees" or "resin bees" due to their distinctive nest construction behavior.
