Description

Macro of a tiny Metallic Green Sweat Bee gathering pollen on a pink gazania flower (daisy - like).

This is a Metallic Green Sweat Bee. The genus Agapostemon is a common group of Western Hemisphere sweat bees, most of which are known as metallic green sweat bees for their color.

They are of generally green or blue appearance (head and thorax almost always, sometimes also the abdomen in females, most males have the abdomen yellow banded on a black or metallic background).
