Metallic Sweat Bee - Halictus tripartitus - Female
Hereford, W of Hwy 92, lower Ash Canyon, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 28, 2018
I thought these photos were interesting because all the Lasioglossum I have photographed this summer had collected dust-like pollen. This bee had found some huge pollen grains prior to visiting this milkweed for nectar. If the editors aren't quite as interested, I'll frass them. Thanks.
Butterfly garden. Oak-grassland interface, 5,020' elev. SE Huachuca Mts.
