Metallic Green with overtones of blues, yellows, and reds. Augochlora pura from West Virginia. Note the forked tip of the mandible with the slightly offset points. Note too how the suture lines create peninsular sinuses next to the sides of the clypeus. There. Now you know how to ID A. pura from Eastern North America. Photo by Aidan Griffin.
Pure green augochlora!
Green sweat bee (Augochlora spp.) on chicory. With the onset of November it’s time to dig in the archives. This image was taken in Illinois in July of 2015. #augochlora #greensweatbee #chicory #wolfroadprairie
As the flowers wither and the food sources diminish the insects will cease to visit our backyard. This Pure Green Augochlora Sweat Bee (Augochlora pura) is one of the few visitors that has persisted to the end.
