Just when the moon season is in full bloom, many flower lovers suddenly find that there are many regular and rounded gaps in their beloved moon leaves, and many people suspect that it is a caterpillar masterpiece, but it is so neat and neat that it does not look like the style of a caterpillar.

And this mysterious murderer has finally been discovered by a flower friend who has been stalking for many days in recent days! Take a look at the image below.
The little thing stopped on the leaf of the moon, tinkering with it and not knowing what it was doing.
Cut the leaves
It turned out that it cut off the blade! The whole process does not take more than ten seconds, which shows that the modus operandi is skilled and obviously a habitual offender.
The action is swift
Quickly cut the leaves, and regardless of being watched, they quickly fled the scene with the stolen leaves in their arms, which showed the rampant attitude!
Fleeing
Within a day, the season would have become like this.
After consultation, it turned out that this little thing was called a leaf-cutting bee.
Leaf cutter bees
It usually nests in places such as rotting tree trunks, dry cement pipes, etc., to store food and lay eggs.
nest
Spread the cut leaves to the bottom of the nest, then spit the stuffed honey into the hole and finally lay the eggs.
Spit honey into the hole
The next step is to use small blades to build a roof for your baby's little house.
Cover the roof
Finally, the hole was filled with sawdust, which seemed seamless from a distance, and he was a good architect.
Fill in the openings
In fact, the leaf-cutting bee is not the most excessive, and the leaf peak and stem bee are deeply resentful.
Ye Feng's crime scene was very tragic.

And the larvae of the stem bee are very clever, never show their faces before eating the stem, and the moment you see the yellowing of the moon, you will break open the stem when you are suspicious, and it is already too late.
Stem bees
With such a contrast, does it feel that the leaf cutter bee is much cuter? Because it does not parasitize on our monthly season, but temporarily borrows a few leaves. To be honest, when pruning after autumn, those branches and stems are cut off for winter, let alone a few leaves? So the next time I find out what the leaf cutter bee is quietly doing, he will go. But seeing the stem bees and leaf bees, for the long-term development of the moon, we should not be soft-hearted!
