Megachile gemula, f, side, Maine, Du Clos
Leafcutting bees are normally bright white sorts of things in North America...hoewever, there are a few such as this Megachile gemula that are dark, not in a psychological way, but in that their pollen carrying hairs are black instead of white and much their pale hairs bleed from off-white to yellowish. This is one of 3 regularly occurring species in the East and this one was found by Brianne Du Clos in Maine. Photograph by Dejen Mengis.
