This is one of the fascinating bees that I found somewhere around the bush, called Hairy-footed Leafcutter Bee (Megachile lagopoda). Among many insects, the bee is my favorite one! I say this because in taking bee, I must do extra effort as it is a type of insect that moves quite a lot and it challenged me so badly, especially when taking the headshot. I considered this challenge as a pleasant job so whenever I found bees, I manage to hunt them down. Sometimes I failed to catch but some other time I successfully captured them. While being on the shot, I never thought that they would sting me, and thank for being friendly with me. There are many types of bees around here, and I think this bee is more friendly than others. Indeed, I had to spend much time hunting and waiting for them to calm, that was the efforts to gain better results. In nature, leafcutter bees nest in cavities like tunnels made by wood-boring insects. The absence of abundant and secure nesting sites limits the size of wild populations.
