Leafcutter Bee

Megachile

Description:

Black and White Bee with powerful mandible used to cut leaves for its nest

Habitat:

I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time when I spotted this female leafcutter bee busily cutting bits of leaf from a plant in my garden to take to line its nearby nest. The photos are actually stills from little videos I made.
