World's largest bee with giant jaws rediscovered in the wild

In January scientists finally spotted a rare bee, which was last seen by researchers in 1981 and previously feared to be extinct. Wallace's Giant Bee (species Megachile pluto) is an Indonesian species with a 2.5-inch wingspan and enormous mandibles. A solitary female bee was finally seen in the Indonesian province of North Maluku on the Maluku Islands, after researchers investigated the region for five days.
