Hovering Metallic Green Orchard Bee. This metallic green orchard bee always hovers in front of a person, but was captured being inquisitive.

Hovering Metallic Green Orchard Bee.

Hovering Metallic Green Orchard Bee always flies in front of a person and hovers there, probably looking at you.

It was a lucky shot to capture this bee, then she decided to investigate a boot. Flying to it and sitting on the top of a boot.

Stretching out her legs to land and one can notice her hind legs that are different to other bees.

Landed safely and you can see clearly the sets of wings and how she holds on.

A view of her magnificent color and face with eyes on the sides. The three small dots on top of her head between the large eyes are her other three eyes.

Then flew to a chair, and come up like a helicopter. The view of her face and those feelers when she landed. Lovely color to.

Amazing thorax, face and abdomen all colored with the same coloring. Those large dark oval eyes on the side of her head.

Note the hind legs with some hairs and barbs that collect the pollen, if female when she lands on flowers. To see their life cycle and habits. visit this link.

This beautiful, always hovering and watching a person. But really fast as well.
