Euryglossidia species, Pinnochio Euryglossidia, collected in Australia by Laurence Packer This undescribed species was collected in Western Australia after particularly good winter rains. It has an unusually pointed “nose”. No reason for this unusual modification is known. The bee was collected visiting flowers of XXXX , which would seem not to need a sharp object to open them to get at the nectar or pollen. However, bees will often visit different flowers for nectar than pollen, so we cannot be certain it’s “nose” is not a foraging adaptation. Another possibility is that it is used in nesting in some way. As these are cellophane bees that line their brood cells with a plastic-like material, perhaps these bees close the brood cell while they are out foraging to keep out unwanted intruders. They can then use their sharp face to cut open the brood cell.
