Must be a leaf-cutter bee

Lord Vetinari

First time I've managed to capture this on camera. I have watched leaf cutters in action on my camelias before but they are far too fast to catch in the act. This bee however was on a hollyhock leaf and appeared to be partially chewing the leaf and so was much slower. It eventually flew off with a gummy ball of leaf under it's head.
