A rather pollen riddled specimen, this uncommon (at least in Maryland) species is uniquely outfit with a long-strap like labral process...for those of you who are technically inclined.

Agapostemon coloradinus, F, side 1, Shannon Co., S. Dakota
A large bright green with blue overtones Agapostemon from Badlands National Park. One of several species present there and very similar to A. virescens and a bit tricky to tell apart. Photo by Wayne Boo with help from Ben Smith on upping the Photoshopping techniques.

Agapostemon nasutus, m, back, Bagaces, Costa Rica
Gliding in from Costa Rica comes a moderalely large, moderately green bee. An Agapostemon nasutus. There are a lot of the these bright green bees out there...Not just in C.R. but throughout the Americas. Beautiful, and once you start paying attention, quite common. But are there any songs written about them? No. Poems? Zero. Green Bee Secret Societies?

Agapostemon sericeus, F, Back, MD, PG County
The least common of the Eastern Agapostemon bee species. It shows up regularly, but almost always in ones and twos rather in the numbers seen by at least A. virescens and in sandy areas A. splendens. Collected in P.G. County, Maryland and photographed by Wayne Boo.

Agapostemon sericeus, f, face, Pr. George's Co., MD
East of the Mississippi River there are 4 species of Agapostemons. The largest of the metallic green Sweat Bees. In some places they can be extremely abundant. This species, however, is never abundant, but exists throughout its range in a here and there sort of way. Regularly occurring, but never dominating.

Agapostemon sericeus, M, back, Pr. Georges Co., Maryland
Male Agapostemon's almost all have this same pattern, Metallicy green on the head and thorax and then striped yellow and black on the abdomen. Females uniformly don't have yellow anywhere. Why is good question as this male yellowness syndrome runs throughout the bee kingdom, cutting across families.
