Stunning.
Great image of one of the sweat bees in the tribe Augochlorini. One of these days I'll get the three genera straight:-) Moving to guide page for tribe.

Nice Image!
I have these bees around my yard in droves--I've been thinking they are sweat bees (Halictidae). They certainly are photogenic little creatures and this is a nice shot!
