Leafcutting Bee
Megachile latimanus
Adult leafcutting bees inhabit gardens, grasslands, woodland edges, and other flower-rich areas. They drink nectar for energy and gather pollen to provision individual nest cells. Females cut neat circular pieces from leaves and use them to line their nests. Unlike honey bees, they are solitary, with each female constructing and supplying her own nest.
