Geron Beefly and Lasioglossum Bee - Lasioglossum

Geron Beefly and Lasioglossum Bee - Lasioglossum
North Escape Rd, closed portion, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
August 17, 2014
I thought this series of shots might be of interest.
The Female Geron was in the harebell when the Lasioglossum showed up and pushed her out. At one point (not shown) only the very tip of the Lasioglossum's abdomen was visible, yet the Geron could get to the bottom of the flower with just it's long mouth beak.
Of all of the inter actions of the Lasioglossum Bee's with the Geron Beefly's this day, none of the Beefly's acted threatened.
