Thyreus nitidulus
Thyreus nitidulus is a species of cuckoo bee native to Australia, recognizable by its striking black and blue coloration. It is a kleptoparasite, meaning it lacks its own nest-building behavior and instead reproduces by laying eggs in the nests of blue-banded bees in the genus Amegilla. The larvae of T. nitidulus then consume the pollen provisions collected by the host bee for its own offspring.
