Life of the Party
Western WA. Today, saw this very colorful honeybee sized critter. Flashier than photos show. I really want it to be some rare neon honeybee. I see smaller flies of same color.
This one was good sized. Thought I'd go right to the experts in here. Thanks!Screen Shot 2022-09-06 at 2.52.12 PM.png

Looks like the Ground Bee/Sweat Bee in my front yard, @Gyrfalcon22. Great pollinators. Quick little rascals. I must have taken 50 or 60 shots of exits until I finally captured this one a few years ago.
