Whole individual of Bombus dahlbomii from Puerto Blest
Bombus dahlbomii
Single male specimen of the Giant Patagonian bumblebee, collected at the end of the season (when most fertilized queens have already gone into their overwintering refuges), from a large plant of chilco (Fuchsia magellanica) on its late summer/early fall flowering pulse. At this point of the year, most queens born during the summer season have been fertilized and gone into overwintering refuges; most individuals of the species are males living outside nests, and grouping on the few remaining flowering plants available. The male was preserved in molecular grade 100% ethanol, and sent to Dovetail Genomics for DNA extraction and sequencing.
