Potentilla Leafcutter - Megachile rotundata

Potentilla Leafcutter - Megachile rotundata
Pacific Heights Neighborhood , Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 13, 2019
Size: About 8mm
This small leafcutter bee was one of many cutting holes in the flower petals of the Potentilla Shrubs. I caught it in a small container and placed it in the fridge for a few hours and then let it go in the yard near the shrub.
