    Cordate-headed Resin-Leafcutter

    Trachusa cordaticeps is a species of resin-leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae, first described by Michener in 1949. It belongs to the tribe Anthidiini, which includes bees that construct nests using plant resins and leaf pieces. The species is distributed across Central and North America. Like other members of its genus, it likely nests in pre-existing cavities and uses resinous materials for cell construction.
