Megachile (Eutricharaea) chrysopyga

Unknown.

Reported mainly from the southern half of Australia.

This bee is approximately 7 millimetres long.

This bee was seen carrying part of a leaf into a spider’s burrow. We suspect it was building a nest for its young. The bee was photographed as it left the burrow.
