My apologies in advance for the blurriness, but after getting confirmation that the metallic green bees in my garden are Halictus (subgenus Seladonia), it made me wonder if this rather spectacular female from last year was also a Halictus—maybe confusus, given the bright gold/bronze color? I only saw her once and she was FAST, so the pictures weren't great (sorry again!); but there aren't that many records for Oregon, so a blurry submission seemed better than none. Notes:

• Approximately 7 mm in length (I estimated 6–8 mm at the time)
• Photographed in the evening, around 7:30 pm
• Foraging on California lilac (Ceanothus sp.)

Thank you!
