A wonderful and informative set Brian, I never knew about those horns. Are these only found on the female?

Gorgeous shots of them. I havent seen any of these around the garden yet though.

Looks like the daffodil has gobbled it up lol.

Thanks all for the comments :)

KC - yes only the female Osmia rufa has the horns - think they are used for tamping down the mud caps of sealed cells
