    My Amoeba says, right conclave, wrong member. This is a wasp. I said to Amoeba, whatever it is, it's pretty, but you know how scientists are ....

    This is a lovely pic. I could be biased. Daisies are my favorites.

    Actually, it looks like it is a bee. Specifically, a small carpenter bee, genus Ceratina. The small size and narrow body fooled me. But what do I know? I specialize in algae and protozoa ...

    A green bee...never heard of one before. I love the clear yellow in the rudbeckia.

    Rudbeckia seems like the wrong name for a yellow flower. Never heard of a green bee before... Interesting.
