Description
At only 11mm long, I first thought this was a fly of some sort.
I had never seen a bee that small, much less a green one.
This is a female Sweat Bee - Agapostemon texanus,
The male has a black and gold striped abdomen.
Thanks very kindly for your views and comments.

Stunning crisp and clear macro captured by you maria. 5 + for another astonishing capture.
and I have never seen a green bee, I am going to call her an Irish bee lol and are they black ants i see? cool macro capture.
It's really cool. 5+.
You know I love these. Only seen a couple so far this year. Hope they reproduce quickly! Nice shot of this one, love that it is fully green as well (abdomen). Still love their eyes. Great shot!
Beautiful - great details and colors!
The green color is really fascinating!!

A fascinating natural world. Amazing is your capture.

I did not know that there was such a thing as a green bee. How very interesting and your macro really lets us see it in stunning detail.
A great capture!
That is a delightful shot of a really pretty insect!
Super composition - love that iridescent green!
A complete new bee for me. Great shot...covered in pollen. A beaut!

Wow, wow, wow. Such a wonderful photo. To me, the green in the background highlights the green of the bee in a marvelous way.
What a fantastic color on a bee. WOW and so little too. Great macro.
That is cool!
Lovely crisp macro of this busy bee.
Wonderful photo and fantastic detail my friend....!!!!
Well bless my soul this is a first!! In many ways!!
Stunning macro Maria!
Beautiful composition. excellent work
These green bees make excellent subjects. They look great on any color flower. I may have some way back in my gallery if I recall correctly or they may have been deleted in the past. Excellent shot!
Oh wonderful, another variety of insect I've never heard of or seen before. Maybe I should just stick to aircraft and automobiles. In any event, a fine macro of the green sweat bee doing what their species unfailingly does during their lifetime, Maria. And I wonder if they really do ooze green sweat.
Beautiful color and details. Splendid capture.
wonderful shot
Very impressive macro !
I have never seen anything like this either. What a beautiful capture!
Wow... that's tiny and he is so beautiful. A great capture.
