Very small bee: Lasioglossum sp.? - Lasioglossum lepidii
Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, USA
September 10, 2015
The only small bees I've seen in four years on my small property have been Lasioglossum sp. (unidentifiable to species in photos, apparently). Am I in the same boat with this little one?
