Temnosoma, Unknown Metallic Cuckoo Bee, collected in Argentina.A metallic green bee similar to many metallic green bees in the Sweat Bee family Halictiadae, but if you were to look at one under the microscope you would find that the female has no pollen collecting hairs and thus would probably conclude that it is a bee but one that does not collect pollen and theref

Ceratinas occur world-wide and really have the color/form/sculpturing thing down. They are the definition of crispness and elegance in my book. Expect more to come. This one comes from another worn-torn part of the world, the Crimean peninsula, but, really, bees, the study of natural history, pretty neutral ground that all can appreciate.

Mourecotelles, Unknown Hairyeye Bee, collected in ArgentinaWhat an attractive bee, unfortunately, that is about all we can say about this species other than it is found in the western temperate regions of South America.

Alepidosceles - Sorry, too very tired to look up anything about this lovely Diadasia like bee from Brazil. You will have to do it for me, I can't do everything you know. Just make up some interesting life history notes for me, if you would, please.

Cleaning up some phot backlog. Unknown bee from Mexico....this was taken while in Laurence Packer's lab and hopefullyi one day we will have an identification associated with it. Just looking at it I would say that it is some sort of Anthidiine. Love the colors on the abdomen.
