Sweat Bee
Thank You for the confirmation and further identification.
I greatly appreciate the expertise and time you provide to all of us here in Bug Guide.
I am often asked what I am taking photo's of or what is that "bug".
Being able to ID the subject and attach that information to a photo is a huge help.
Without the expertise here, many of us would say a "BUG" or "I don't Know" which truly lessens the value of the photo for any purpose.
The ID further helps to educate us - many of these "critters" are so beneficial to our ecosystems, not just a so called "pest".
