Anthophora walshii is a species of anthophorine bee in the family Apidae. It is found in North America. [1] [2] [3]
The Anthophora Walshii shares many features with the commonly found honey bee, having its head, thorax and the first segment of its abdomen covered in long, pale yellow hair. [4] Males and females of this species are seen to be different sizes, with males being generally larger in size than females. On average, males can grow up to a length of 16 mm with an abdomen 6 mm in breadth, and females can grow up to 14 mm in length with an abdomen 5 mm in breadth. [4] [5]
