Days after a storm had blown over the wind had pulled out several intact cocoons out the nesting blocks in the garden, whose pupae had died some time ago judging on their light weight. That was especially true for the husk of this somewhat eclosed female European orchard bee (Osmia cornuta) [Soortenregister] hanging from the nest entrance.
