Australian native Resin Bee card - Megachile ferox
Reproduced from an original watercolour painting by Cheryl Hodges. Greeting card 10 x 15cm, blank inside with brown recycled envelope.
Text on reverse of card reads:
Megachile ferox belongs to the family Megachilidae which includes leafcutter bees and resin bees. With a very hairy head, thorax, abdomen and legs, this species is ideally equipped for transporting pollen. Its large mandibles (jaws) are adept at gnawing into wood, such as trees and shrubs, where they construct their nests. They will also establish nests in insect hotels. Some resin bees employ pure resin to seal their nest entrances, while others incorporate chewed leaf material into their resin seals.
