Sweet Bee? - Augochloropsis metallica
Rd#377, Val Verde County, Texas, USA
September 1, 2016
Size: ~1.2cm
I do not have a full view of this bee.
It was collecting pollen on a blooming bush in a moderately dense juniper / oak formation on the side of Rd#377, just east from the Rd#277/377 bifurcation.
