[QUOTE="Grant, post: 6342, member: 1"] What's fluffy, has wings, and only lives in hard-baked clay of the Western Australian outback? The Dawson's burrowing bee, or Amegilla dawsoni. Thousands of the winged insects have begun to emerge from their burrows on Hamelin Station Reserve, as part of an annual spring breeding event. The remote 202,644-hectare property, located about 670km north of Perth, is run by conservation group Bush Heritage Australia. The bees only emerge over a few weeks in spring. They will mate, find food, and then re-burrow into the ground to lay eggs.
