Sweat Bee - Halictus?? - Halictus parallelus - female

Sweat Bee - Halictus?? - Halictus parallelus - Female
Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan, USA
August 25, 2011
Size: 16 mm
This looks like a Halictus sp. to me, except she(?) was very large. She measured at just over 16 mm long & was nearly
3 times larger than the many other Halictus bees nectaring on this thread-leaf Coreopsis.
