Small little sweat bee relaxing on a dandelion inflorescence. Not sure what it is so will likely just wait for John Ascher (National University of Singapore) to find my observation on iNaturalist. I'm so grateful for IDers like him. #bees #inaturalist #hymenoptera #insects #dandelion #sweatbee #halictidae inaturalist.org/observations/2

As described this a detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee), flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, black eyed susan, wild geranium) and a hint at the bottom of a dead log, a red-spotted purple butterfly and a little white underwing moth.

(*Apparently this little cutie is also the official bee of the city of Toronto.)
