Remember this?

Ancistrocerus trifasciatus Larvae Apologies, I have no idea what species these are at the moment. I have a little 'bee hotel' in the back garden. I've not seen anything going in and out of it but after taking off the roof, I noticed that something had indeed been in, laid offspring and left. I don't know if all of these belong to the same species but are at different stages of development.<br /> The larvae encased in the silk was at the back of the nest, so if this is the most mature 'tenant' - how will it get out when it reaches maturity.<br /> <br /> This was originally 3 images but thanks to the wonder of Photoshop (of which I'm a complete novice) I found it stupidly easy to stitch the images together making them they look like 1!
