Thanks for dropping in Cobbscout. You'd have to come to Australia to see one - or Papua New Guinea & Asia. They are a Tropical Bee.

Never seen one of these. Pretty iridescent turquoise color.

Well, he's half pretty! But, a bee is a bee is a bee and I think all bees sting!

His wings look very fragile!!!

Very unusual color and it's cool how you can see the wings move.
