Ant-like bees among newly discovered desert species


Researchers at Utah State University have discovered nine new desert bee species, including two featuring males that look very much like ants.

"It's unclear why these males have this unique form, but it could indicate they spend a lot of time in the nest," entomologist Zach Portman said in a news release. "We may find more information as we learn more about their nesting biology."
