Description

A small and beautifully colored bee. This species hovers like hover flies do and is found buzzing low above the ground between the high grasses. They don't touch down very often and when they do it's only for a very short time. I haven't been able to ID it though. Thanks for viewing ! :)

Great macro ! The narrow waist is suggestive of a wasp and there are a few Bees to complicate matters, so see the problem with ID My suggestion would be one of the Nomad bee species perhaps Marsham's Nomad Bee

the figure and by the head to judge, it is kind of wasps or kind of wild bee. Property “it” however unfortunately also not yet found… wonderful shot!!!! really great!!!!!!

A very nice macro, I have never seen a bee quite like that one, they differ from country to country I'm sure and I agree very pretty colours, nice capture.
