Could this be Perdita rhois? - Perdita rhois
Webb Canyon, ~2000 ft. elevation, Los Angeles County, California, USA
May 30, 2009
I photographed this tiny bee as it visited Eriogonum fasciculatum flowers. I think it looks somewhat similar to the female Perdita rhois that Ron H. has photographed a couple times down in Orange County, but that's just a guess...
