Patchwork Leafcutter Bee - a photo on Flickriver

            Another lovely warm day in our Staffordshire garden today and lots of leafcutter bee activity in the bee-hotels. I've once again been using this opportunity to attempt in-flight leafcutter shots. This (with much more of the bee in focus) is one of my better ones so far.

This looks like the Patchwork Leafcutter Bee (Megachile centuncularis). It's a relatively small leafcutter with the scopa (the hairs under the abdomen used for carrying pollen) all orange.
