New leafcutter nest!


The leafcutter bee has found a bigger space for its nest - another pot of verbascum. The seedling was wilting and had been broken off - I dug and found this. I don't want to uproot it for the sake of a clearer photo, but it is a capsule made of leaves put sideways on, some way down in the soil. There may be more - I'm leaving them be this time.
