Most people looking to cut potatoes, are doing it for Tornado Fries and Chip Twister potatoes. So most potato cutters you will find on the market are for matchstick type cuts, curly cuts, and thin slicers for scalloped potatoes.

Ok, enough of the local stuff. I will post more later. Back to the tropics now.
Here a leaf cutter ant carries a pieice of leaf back to it's nest. I have tried to get a shot like this several times in the past and this is the first time I have really succeeded. This shot was taken as the ant was "running" down the tree. I just had to follow it, stay in focus, and snap the shutter.

I believe this to be a leaf cutter bee. This photograph shows it entering a hole that it has made in a flower pot that is supported within an old elongated chimney which we use as a feature on a patio. The flower pot is in a sunny position. I have also seen a leaf cutter bee using the same flower pot within chimney (but when it was in a different position) last year. Further down the garden is another chimney with flower pot which I have also seen used by a bee. My wife has seen this bee at rest on the floor with a cut leaf before entering the hole.
As can be seen, it has a very noticable rear lower abdomen (white ... perhaps pollen covered). Wings held out wide (bad design for something that has to enter a hole).
I also have a photograph of the same bee emerging from the hole at an earlier date.
This bee is about the size of a honey bee. Below ground it must be able to turn around, as it emerges head first.
