Ceratina arizonensis? - Ceratina arizonensis - Female
Claremont, Los Angeles County, California, USA
June 16, 2013
Size: Approx. 3-4 mm
A number of these little bees were visiting Branching Phacelia (Phacelia ramosissima) at the Claremont Colleges Bernard Field Station. I think this is Ceratina arizonesis, but I'm unsure whether something else might have a similar appearance. Confirmation or correction will be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure these images are useful for the Guide, so please feel free to frass. BugGuide already has several other photos of C. arizonesis from the field station.
