@KylieWaldon this is a shed moult from a huntsman, it's how they grow and get bigger. Since invertebrates don't have any bones or internal skeletons, they have to moult their exoskeleton in order to grow

wow. that is so interesting MichaelM. They are so much bigger than most of the native bees that when I see them together they just seem to come in a push the native ones out of the way. But whether the native bees would polinate fruit trees or veggies I don't know, and I do like fruit and veg. Kylie TY :)
