Genus Dianthidium

Resin Bees make little nests composed of pebbles that are glued
together. I found the one
below, quite by accident, while photographing this little jumping
spider.

These last two pictures were taken on Antelope Island. I
had to oversharpen the photo
to bring the pebble cairn into focus. © Carol Davis, 2009, 2008
