Small Carpenter Bee - Ceratina - Female
Mayfair, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 21, 2022
I have no idea where to start looking for an i.d. for this one. It was a tiny little insect, about the size of an ant. I thought just a little fly until I cropped the photo and got a better look. Found on Canada goldenrod.

Ceratina?
Looks like a small carpenter bee (Ceratina), though I don't know their range in Canada. Club-shaped abdomen, wing veining seems consistent.
