A leaf cutter bee

My husband drilled holes in a log of wood and hung it on the fence hoping that It would attract wildlife. We were delighted to see the Leaf cutter bee who has now filled 16 holes in a short period of time.. it is fascinating to watch.
For those interested I have added a link.

Wonderful...my hubby did the same for me and the log has been in constant use and is now in its third season. Looks like you might need another.

It will be fun to watch the lifecycle of these insects. This way they won't hurt anything although I understand they're not hard on plants.
