When does an ant look like a stretched-out wasp? (Thanks to Cameron for help on this one). What are those things on that leafcutter bee’s front legs? Pollen basket? Parasite? Actually those are brushes that male leafcutter bees use during mating. Have you seen them before? Another view at BugGuide Reference: D. Wittmann and and B. Blochtein. (1995). Why males of leafcutter bees hold the females’ antennae with their front legs during mating. Apidologie 26: 181-196 I always like to see what ants are collecting during foraging trips. Sometimes it isn’t easy to identify. Tree resin? Hard candy? What do you think it is? And no, I didn’t have the opportunity to collect it and see. |
