100 images stacked in Zerene, of a femlae cuckoo sweat bee.
Cuckoo sweat bees are so called because the female enters the nests of other bees and lays her eggs inside. Then the larva, once hatched, eats the existing bees larva and pollen then continues on with life along with the other inhabitants of the nest.
