Bees sleeping last night and a leafcutter on the rudbeckia this morning. Melissodes agilis and some kind of Megachile.

I saw the long-horned bees sleeping on the sunflowers this morning. I think they are Melissodes agilis, the agile long-horned bee.

The size varies but they seem the same and fit the descriptions I've read. Males have the long antennae that are reddish.

A little long horned bee on a sunflower. No idea what the ID is exactly. It has orange or brown antennae.
