Chequered Cuckoo Bee - Thyreus caeruleopunctatus - limited edition print A4 size
The Chequered Cuckoo Bee - Thyreus caeruleopunctatus is an Australian Native Bee.
Limited edition Giclee print, edition of 50, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. A4 size - 297mm x 210mm. Printed using archival quality inks and 300gsm fine art paper.
Chequered cuckoo bees are very eye-catching with their pretty blue patches. Like cuckoo birds, the female cuckoo bee lays its eggs in the nests of other bees – in this case blue banded bees, and when the larva hatches it either eats the host larva, or its food provisions, or both.
