Default Leaf cutting bee.

Commonly known as the saw-fly. Its grubs gather in big clusters on the
trees and are sometimes called "spitfires".
The grubs are black and ugly and have an orange tip. During the day the
group breaks up to feed but keep in contact with one another by tapping the
orange hard end on the branch.
