Description
A leafcutter bee hanging off a yellow blossom against open blue sky — and this angle shows you the business end. That glossy compound eye, the pale-furred face, and beneath it the heavy mandibles she uses as scissors: the tools that cut neat discs from rose leaves to build her nursery.
Where a portrait of her back shows the pollen brush on her belly, this one shows the head — the other half of what makes a leafcutter a leafcutter. Solitary, gentle, and entirely absorbed in her own work.
