The kids in my friend's "Bugging Out" class will want to know his real name????

Lasioglossum coriaceum?
Looks like Lasioglossum coriaceum.

Sweat bee.
This is probably a sweat bee in the genus Halictus, family Halictidae, though they are easily confused with some Andrena species, and one really has to "key out" the specimen to get it correct.

 
Thanks for the help!
