Lasioglossum nymphaerum, female, face

Sleeping Bear Dunes .... The National Lakeshore. Has Dunes. Has very cool and rare dune bees. Here though is Lasioglossum nymphaeurum which occurs all over the East, and is notable in my mind for the rugged propodeal triangle...as you already know, dear friend.

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.
