Typical habitat for this Pellenes sp. ♀ the cocoon is made in an empty snail shell, it is sometimes raised in the vegetation for the security (in particular a thermal protection). Location : France (May 2016) An intruder disturbed that ;-)

This photo is a good symbol for my personal philosophy. I don't think that one place, country or whatever is per se better than the other, every medal has two sides
Almost stepped on this little one, and got a fun close up shot from the telephoto camera on the X300 Ultra.
So, one of the best/most interesting things I've seen on Springwatch this year is the Osmia building her nest in a snail shell clip. Something I witnessed myself a couple of years ago... And something I had been wanting to see for ages. The Two-coloured mason-bee, Osmia bicolor, in action is a rare sight to catch indeed. This is the closest I've got to date.
Anyway, this is a shot from back then ... laying the thatch that goes over the top of the shell... This was on a 60° slope and near impossible to stand steady, much slipping and sliding. It would have been great to get some footage, maybe a job for another day.

I found a video on YouTube that shows the process too.
