Leafcutter Bee (Megachile willughbiella) 2024-06-30. Parc Slip, Aberkenfig, South Wales

            Captured on a cloudy afternoon while it rested on some fencing. I managed to obtain a few shots before it flew off with its cargo.

Some post processing applied with Adobe Lightroom and then cropped.

Best viewed using the expansion arrows.
