It is more specifically a human attribute then to have favorites that we want to share. I've written here previously admitting how I am a complete patsy for pink evening primrose (Oenothera speciosa) and winecup (Callirhoe involucrata) both.
I think I may have discovered a new favorite. Allow me to introduce you to Agapostemon, (probably A. Splendens) aka the metallic green sweat bee. I think she is absolutely breathtaking, especially in the context of her chosen backdrop.

Oh my goodness--what a photo and she is a pretty girl with an important career!
She's pretty. You've managed to catch quite a few great shots of the wildlife in your garden. Way to go! I'm impressed by your patience...I mean pig-headed determinedness :) (spell check didn't like that last word, but I'm going to use it anyway!)
Tina: She was certain busy!
I keep waiting to hear from her representation regarding the unauthorized use of her image. So far so good but it is probably only a matter of time.
Cat: You are such an excellent photographer - I love the images you post. Your encouragement is especially happily noted.
Ha! Pig-headed determinedness. Yes ma'am! Spell check can kiss my grits.
Nice picture of the sweat bee! Do you find they are drawn to your pool? I've heard stories ....
Debra: Thank you!
No indication they are drawn to the pool. We haven't seen many sweat bees before. This is one of the first times I've noticed any in our yard and even so only working the flowers in bloom.
