Eight-toothed Cuckoo Leaf-cutter Bee (Coelioxys octodentatus)Observer
connie43Description
I'm not totally sure on the species and was waffling between a few types of Coelioxys, but this seems the closest? I've noticed a lot of leafcutter bees in the yard recently - I thought that's what this was at first but it has a much pointier abdomen and the red legs which lead me to cuckoo leafcutters.
