Perhaps one of the most colorful Osmia, Osmia versicolor, collected by Jelle Devalez on the Aegean Islands of Greece. Yet another snail shell nester. What would these species do if there were no snail shells and no snails to make them? Photography by Maggie Yuan.

Looking down the staircase in the tower. This is said to come from GaudÃ's study of snailshells, but to me, looks just like any spiral staircase in any church tower.
