Shadow-winged Resin Bee
Megachile umbripennis, commonly known as the Shadow-winged Resin Bee, is a solitary bee species in the family Megachilidae. It was first described by Frederick Smith in 1853. The species is notable for its characteristically dark, shadow-colored wings, from which its common name derives. It has been recorded across a broad geographic range spanning southern Asia, various Pacific islands, Australia, and the eastern coast of the United States.
