Emerald-green wild bee on Telegraph Weed
Here is a beautiful emerald-green wild bee (Anthophila, Hymenoptera) visiting a new autumn flower on a native (but weedy) Telegraph Weed (Heterotheca grandiflora, Asteraceae). I believe the bee is a Sweat Bee (Halictidae), maybe a Metallic Sweat Bee (Agapostemon or Augochlorella). HBBBT! (San Marcos Pass, 10 October 2021)
