| | | Leaf Cutter Bee for ID
Hi. Going over a few old photos from the summer. This was taken on 21/6/09.
Is it a Megachile centuncularis (female?) - Leaf cutter bee
Many thanks. Jane  |

Think I'll just put it down as a Megachile sp. and leave it at that. As you say, it's difficult from this angle. Thanks Janet! |

Thanks Eucera Mainly seems to have been M. centuncularis in the garden this year. I think they are one of my favourite bees - with the way they hold their abdomen... wish I had the muscles in my tum to do that! | | |
