Ectemnius
continuus  |
||
| Ectemnius continuus is another common solitary bee, but again, the ten UK Ectemnius species are difficult to seperate. They nest in wood, excavating tunnels with several cells which are then stocked with food (various Flies) for the developing brood. The one photographed refused to leave it's hole in a section of felled timber at Sherwood Forest CP, on what was a rather dull and wet June morning in 2008. | ||
