Does this photo look vaguely familiar? Actually, it is the same photo posted on July 18, but rotated 180 degrees. Why you ask? Because after a friend sent me a photo of a green bee , I looked at my photo more closely - and realized I was looking at the bee upside down. Its abdomen wasn't green, its head was! Once I got that straight, with some online help, I was able to i.d. the bee as a Green Metallic Sweat Bee. They like to pollinate flowers, too.
