A digital painting of a sleeping leafcutter ant on a stump using a leaf as a blanket. They're dreaming about carrying a big leaf across a log.

“Girl with kaleidoscope eyes” #Coelioxys sp. #Cuckoo #leafcutter #bees parasitize the nests of leafcutter bees by invading & laying their eggs inside that will kill the leafcutter larvae & then eat their store of nectar & pollen. This female was chilling on an aster in my garden.
A very striking black and golden-furred bee with huge spotted grey eyes is foraging on a light purple aster flower
I’m spoiled for choice in re: wondrous creature photos right now
Leafcutter (Megachile) carries pollen on her underbelly, packing it between specialized hairs for transport
Each egg she lays gets a little bundle of pollen to eat

A profile photo of a bee, facing left to right, on a pink thistle. The bee is black with light brown hairs, which are slightly worn off in patches. She's dusted with yellow polle on her back and face.
The Thistle is proving a real sanctuary for old, tired, #leafcutter #bees this week. This poor dear is missing her front right leg. Am going to make sure there's a nice large patch of Thistle in the beds next year. #wildlifefrommywindow #gardenwildlife #solitarybees #invertebrates #insects
Slightly lobed green leaves on a vine have several very tidy round holes removed from the margins, making it look like someone has hole-punched the plant
The Yellow Passionvine (Passiflora lutea) along with a native #wild #rose (Rosa setigera) nearby (not pictured) have been getting these hilarious “hole punch” bites taken out. This is a native #leafcutter #bee!! I am hoping to actually see one do the deed sometime but no luck yet.
Hmmm maybe a #leafcutter #bee #Willoughby's but I'm not an expert
Any clever people out there for an ID please... #Lancashire #UK
A portrait photo of a black and white bee resting on the rim of a small wooden barrel bee nest. The barrel is mounted horizontally on a wall. The bee and the rim are in focus, and off to its right the slightly defocussed ends of the nesting tubes are visible. The bees abdomen is tapered to a point with black and white stripes.
A landscape view of a bee in profile. It's resting on a sunlit green leaf . It is tapered to a point, with black and white stripes on its abdomen. Its thorax is lightly furry. Its eyes are large, and have a mottled green effect, with long antennae and a light brown face that has hairs on it.
A front quarter view of a bee resting on a sunlit green leaf. The focus point is on the bees face, which has large mottled green eyes. The face is light brown (I think) with short hairs, and longish thick black antennae.
This cheeky Sharp Tailed Bee has been hanging out where the Patchwork #leafcutter #bee is nesting. She's been chased off a few times, but keeps sneaking back. I'm not sure which species she is exactly, ID help appreciated. #wildlifefrommywindow #solitarybees #ukwildlife #Insect #invertebrate
Leafcutter bees have emerged from their nests in my back garden, and are already building nests for the next generation #leafcutter #solitarybees #backgardennature #Galway #Ireland

"Leafcutter ants form some of nature’s vastest, most sophisticated societies.. living with a great deal more social harmony and consonance of purpose than we do."

Pure fluke and I'm not sure I will ever better this photo!!

Haha, do you think I have #Leafcutter #Bees in the garden? But shall I continue to water the pots with nests in them? @StevenFalk1 @Eucera
der #Leafcutter John, der alte Haudegen. Bei emotionalen Transit-Abend immer zu empfehlen ♫ http://blip.fm/~h8ngb
