Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa frontalis)
Author's comments:
Luego de ver al adulto ingresando fotografié su nido solitario, realizado en el mirador de aves. Los agujeros de entrada miden aproximadamente media pulgada de circunferencia, con unos restos como de serrín bajo el área que se ha excavado. La entrada habitual consiste en una pulgada hacia dentro de la madera y luego un giro en ángulo hacia la derecha con un calado del túnel. Los huevos se ponen en celdas de las galerías horadadas en la madera infestada.
