Leafcutter Bee, Megachile sp., length 12mm. This is the first sighting of this bee in my garden and I'm so excited. Excuse the low resolution picture as it was taken at night - I had gone outdoors to photograph something else when I spotted the bee. It happened so fast I didn't have time to adjust my camera but wanted to capture the bee before it flew off.
This bee cuts neat circular pieces out of soft leaves, like rose leaves, to use in its nest. I've seen the holes in my roses' leaves but never the bee, until now.
