leafcutter bee (Megachile sp.) cutout in Morrow honeysuckle leaf at Lower Dam IA 653A5608
You know you have leafcutter bees around when you see leaves that look like this. I couldn't cut a perfect circle like that in a leaf if I tried 100 times, but these leafcutter bees make it look easy. They seem to prefer leaves from roses, lilacs and in this case honeysuckle.
