Banded Blue Bee

This beautiful little bee visited our garden this afternoon. Again I left my shot for the day way too late hoping something would turn up and luckily this little one did.

What a striking critter! I love the composition and color.

Great shot Jodie. Their "touch and go" feeding habit makes them so hard to capture.

[Christopher Carr]

Lovely capture!

@merrelyn Thanks Merrelyn, I actually found this one easier to catch than a regular bee, but I know what you mean.
