Leaf Cutter Bee Adopts Mud Dauber Nest
Yesterday I saw a leaf cutter bee hovering in front of a mud dauber nest. The mud dauber nest was abandoned last autumn, and is now available. If this is a regular thing, I'll be getting some pictures of it in the near future.
Pictured here is a leaf cutter bee, Osmia ribifloris ribifloris, in the foreground, and a mining bee, Adrena sp. in the background.

Great picture. I fear that I have painted too many bees with the same broad brush accusing them of being wasps. A Leaf Cutter is a blue/green bee? Amazing.
