Biology |
Nest in holes in the ground or in hollow stems, or
construct nests from clay. Females lay an egg in each individual cell
and provision the cells with partially paralysed caterpillars. The cell
is then sealed. Species of
Allepipona,
Delta and
Knemodynerus have been recorded pollinating Moraea
rivulicola (Goldblatt & Manning, 2012) and three Ferraria
species: F. divaricata Sweet, F. macrochlamys (Baker)
Goldblatt & J.C. Manning, and F. variabilis Goldblatt & J.C.
Manning, (Goldblatt et al. 2009; Goldblatt & Manning 2011; Goldblatt
& Manning, 2012). |
