Very tiny bee - Anoecia

Size: Less than 2mm long
Natalie, I really don't have the proper equipment for this, but was able to get this much of a photo with my cell phone. I don't know if it is good enough to answer the question as to species. The antenna broke off while I was getting it in position to take the photo.

Sorry I missed this!
Alright this specimen is tricky. The antennae look like a weird inbetween of A. corni and A. cornicola. I'm leaning towards cornicola though.
