Leafcutter bee (Megachile)

This leafcutter bee was absorbed in gathering pollen from the bull thistle, which, although a non-native species, is well used by insects including monarch butterflies, fritillaries, honey bees, and so on.

Magnificent detail on this photo! Lately I've been seeking out bull thistle on my walks because it currently seems to be the most popular plant around for insects.
