Augochlora bee from near Mexican border - Augochlora aurifera - Female
National Butterfly Center in Mission, Hidlago County, Texas, USA
November 24, 2018
Size: 7 mm
Is this a female Augochlora aurifera?

This bee was found in the same area, on the same plant, as the male Augochlora aurifera shown here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1614842 .
The bee has reddish-brown jaws and legs and bright reddish coloration where the tibia joins the femur. The bee is a brilliant gold-green.

This bee was feeding on skeleton-leaf daisy (Viguiera stenoloba), near the Mexican border.
