| Re: Megachile sp.
Thanks Eucera. I'll assume M willughbiella until proven otherwise.
How many leaves (and eggs) make a nest for Megachile ? I was expecting the tube to be filled up. And .. does an individual female make multiple nests ?
The parasites are starting to gather at this particular tube.
At different stages of my short entomological 'career' I have spent hours looking at a bush, then at a tree trunk, then in tussocks, now I am staring at a bundle of sticks on a wall. The observer would suspect insanity.
