    September 17, 2019: Bombus rupestris seen at two separate localities on the same day
````````````````````


Two large Bombus rupestris at Hutton Roof on Red Clover and at Silverdale on Ivy.  Dark wings, sparse body hair, and lack of smooth pollen-collecting area on hind leg (hairy instead) separate it from its host, the social bumblebee, Bombus lapidaries
