Leaf Cutter Bee , uses the cut pieces to seal the cells it has laid it's eggs in and provisioned it's offspring
I think this is a 'Patchwork Leaf Cutter Bee' (Megachile centuncularis), finessing her construction material prior to flying it back to her nest site. This little insect kept me entertained whilst I had a coffee in the back garden. She made multiple flights to and from a small gap in the timbers of our pergola, with a good sized chunk of leaf in her mandibles on each inbound flight.
These were made from a present cookie cutter. The possibilities are endless. I made these for the recent camp cookie platter. What else can you make with your cutter - don't make it wait until Christmas to use it again!
including Valentine's Day, birthday, & biscuit cutters ... some of these I've had since I was 18yo, many are vintage & from thrift stores or garage sales, the rest were bought on sale or clearance ... this is the reason why I wanted so many shallow drawers in my baking island. 🍪
A series of photos of a leaf cutter bee.
Inside each cell she will lay an egg and provide it with a mixture of pollen and nectar on which to feed.
The bee then chews a section of leaf into a pulp and mixed with saliva she creates the walls of a cosy cell for her offspring. This she will do until the cell is full.
Her young will develop over winter and emerge the following year.

Wanted a life at sea even though home town is as far away from any ocean as you can get.....

My step-daughter and I use these heart cookie cutters once a year. But they stay up on the kitchen windowsill all year round, perhaps to remind us of the three happy hearts that live here. Perhaps to remind us that even though one might be a little redder and straighter, another might be a little artsy, another might be a bit twirly, we're all the same...at heart. Or perhaps simply because I'm a lazy housekeeper and never bother putting them away.
This is for the groups Grateful Daze and Gratitude Project, for which I'm attempting to post, for the month of November, a daily photo of something for which I'm grateful.
Bremsetjern is a oblong pond in the middle of the Mjøndalen forest. I really wanted to row in that boat, but sadly it was tied down with metal chains, so on my next trip I'll take a bolt cutter with me! :p
From my photo walk today (November 15th 2021), around Bremsetjern, Drammen, Norway.
The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs. This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm. ~ ancnoc.com/whiskies/archived-collection/peaty/cutter/
