Green Metallic Bee

Augochlora sp.

Description:

iridescent green

Habitat:

urban garden

Notes:

I went back to a flower bed after I finished work with my camera in hopes of seeing a hummingbird moth, other butterflies or a planthopper I was after. I saw none of them, although I didn't give it too much time. I did see this cool fly and a few other insects though.
