Megachile centuncularis

Leaf-cutter Bees are members of the Megachilidae; a bee Family where the females (apart from the cleptoparasitic species), have their pollen-collecting hairs (the scopa) on the underside of the abdomen. The colouration of the scopal hairs is one of the factors used to differentiate the Megachile species. Megachile centuncularis has orange scopal hairs.
