Behaviour associated with female brood care in Celonites fischeri: 34 Female taking up soil at a quarry site 35 After alighting on the stem below nest F the female is moving upwards to the nest with a soil pellet held between her mouthparts 36 Female resting in cell F1 in the evening. Note that her wings are folded underneath her metasoma and that she probably could not move deeper inside the partly provisioned cell 37 Female remaining active inside cell F2. Note that her wings are in their normal dorsal position 38 Female depositing a portion of the provision of cell F1 after a pollen collecting trip 39 On a subsequent visit the female has to stay further outside the cell than before during provisioning due to the increased volume of the provision inside the cell.
