Summary

Description
Deutsch: eine noch schlafende Trauerbiene der Art Melecta luctuosa
Die Trauerbienen (Melecta) sind eine Gattung aus der Familie der Apidae innerhalb der Bienen. Ihren deutschen Namen haben die Tiere wegen ihrer meist schwarzen Behaarung. Trauerbienen leben als Kuckucksbienen parasitisch bei Pelzbienen.
English: A sleeping cuckoo bee Melecta luctuosa
The term cuckoo bee is used for a variety of different bee lineages which have evolved the kleptoparasitic habit of laying their eggs in the nests of other bees, reminiscent of the behavior of cuckoo birds.
Français : Une Abeille coucou (Melecta luctuosa) dormant. Le nom vernaculaire de cet insecte est dû à son comportement de cleptoparasite : Melecta luctuosa pond ses œufs dans des ruches appartenant à d'autres espèces d'abeilles.
