Solitary Bees in Arizona – Leaf Cutter Bee

The Leaf Cutter Bee

While out in the garden the other day I saw this green thing zip by me.  Upon further investigation this what I saw.

 

You can see the leaf cutter bee going into this wall hole with a little piece of leaf.

 

If you have leaves with these almost perfect circles cut out of them, they are from leaf cutter bees.  Here is a great website with all sorts of information on Leaf Cutter Bees.
