Hi,

I present to you my 100th post, yeah!!! :)


Agapostemon splendens Sweat Bee

The genus Agapostemon is a common group of Western hemisphere sweat bees of generally green or blue appearance (head and thorax always, sometimes also the abdomen in some females). There are some 45 species in the genus, ranging from Canada to Argentina. They superficially resemble various members of the tribe Augochlorini, which are typically metallic greenish in appearance.

Ah!!! Que dire de plus qui n'a pas été dit, quelle vie, quelle puissance émerge de cette photo. On croirait l'insecte aux bras de Popeye en train de lutter contre les flammes de l'enfer! C'est FANTASTIQUE! De plus, cette abeille est magnifique, je n'ai jamais vu un tel insecte de toute ma vie. Superbe Lise, une trouvaille réalisée avec brio. Merci!
