A bee in the genus Sphecodopsis sitting on a flower in South Africa.

  • ... that after hatching, Sphecodopsis (adult pictured) cuckoo bee larvae use their long sickle-shaped mandibles to destroy any other eggs or larvae around them?

  • Comment: The main paper that covers the hook facts is freely downloadable, so no need to AGF. The relevant information is on page 11.

  • Very nice looking article. Definitely 1,500+ characters. New enough. However, the hook must be cited with an inline citation in the article. Proudbolsahye (talk) 06:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I'd forgotten there were two relevant sentences; I'd inline cited the one in behaviour but not the one in morphology. Done now. Julia\talk 08:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
