Just when I thought I was soo cool and knew all about the little visitors in my garden, this little green bee popped up and turned me into a gaping novice. Oh. My. Stars! A Metallic Green Sweat Bee! In my garden! Frantic snapping of photos insued, hence the blurry photo below. Note also the white insect egg cases in the flower pom-pom in the background of the photo above.
Can you believe the color combo that Nature so effortlessly arranged?! The pink Eriogonum and green Agapostemon was a good call. It brings up the old philosophical question, "If a Green Sweat Bee lands on an Eriogonum and no one is around to take a photo, is the bee totally awesome?"
