Megachile ligniseca (f)

A shot of a female wood-carving leaf-cutter bee primarily taken for identification purposes. The large head and pale pollen brush with a black tip can be seen clearly. The ID has been verified in iRecord from this shot plus three others from different angles.

 

Photographed on a fleabane flower about 2-2.5 cm across (this is a big bee!) at Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB reserve.
