Description
Can anyone identify this insect? I have never seen a bee/wasp-like bug that was this green before. (of course, I have never been known to hang around flower beds before I got a camera) I am sure that Enmos can get me on the right track.
This shot is for Enmos who has been most helpful and enthusiastic with the identification of certain small creatures. -Darwin rules buddy!-
