artistic fiend
« on: July 17, 2014, 16:11 »
hello all, need some help in identifying a pest in my greenhouse please,i was transplanting some seedlings into larger pots and got 2 packages of leaves fall out of one :unsure: very neat little packages of cut leaves and almost perfect circles at the end, they are about an inch and half long and as thick as my lil finger. i opened 1 and it contained a tan goo with a little white grub inside, still have the other one intact in a jar as i am very impressed with the work that went into it. looked in my books but no joy, is it a bee or wasp??? any ideas please ???.

My guess would be leafcutter bee - I've seen their 'handiwork' as far as leaves are concerned but never seen a nest.

One of many websites with more info HERE
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
