Pugnacious Leaf-cutter Bee
Megachile pugnata

I love the name of this bee - Pugnacious Leaf-cutter Bee. What makes it so pugnacious,
I wonder? © Carol Davis 8-23-2015

You can find the answer to the above (pugnacious) question by visiting a really cool
web site called The Bees' Needs. © Carol Davis 8-23-2015

Every time I take a picture of a little striped bee, I think I must already have a picture of
it, but there are so many different striped bees in the world, it's mind-boggling. Now, in
your spare time you might want to read this article on Discover Life because it has a lot
of information on Megachile pugnata. © Carol Davis 8-23-2015
