Extreme closeup of a small sweat bee (ID apps suggest a white-footed sweat bee) climbing a vertical stamen of a lacy phacelia flower with out of focus stamens and a gray wall in the background. The bee is vertical and facing to the right in profile with its mandibles grasping a dark purple anther atop the stamen it is grasping and its back legs and pollen baskets covered in purple pollen collected from the dark purple anthers that top each pale purple stamen. This species has similar features to honeybees with a dull metallic green abdomen, thorax, and head covered in fine gold hairs, two segmented antennae, three simple eyes on the forehead, two large compound eyes on either side of the head, six legs, and transparent amber wings with dark veining.
