Lasioglossum is the world’s largest genus of bees and contains more than 1700 species worldwide. Like many other speciose invertebrate genera, we know relatively little about these organisms and only a handful of entomologists worldwide are capable of identifying them to species. In the last five years, researchers throughout North America have revised the taxonomy of this group using phylogenetic data, new morphological characters, and over 10,000 museum specimens. According to their keys, this particular individual is possibly a male L. (Hemihalictus)inconditum.

Red Alstroemeria With Solidago Flower Bouquet
Continuing my flower studies. In this series I find my own way to get to know the subject before I try to deconstruct it. Details Nikon D 800 ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/80s Aperture f/18
Fields of Goldenrod.
So intent was I on trying to photograph fluttering Monarchs and this American Lady Butterfly I almost missed the collection of what I thought were interesting beetles. Turns out these are moths - Ailanthus webworm moths to be exact. Seems they are neither friend nor foe, so, enjoy their colorful little selves.
