I have been wanting to photograph the two colours we have for Metallic Sweat Bees and it finally happened! I saw the green one land on a leaf and saw the blue one on an opposite leaf, I didn't actually think they would go onto the same leaf together and that I would get a photo of it. Usually, when they get close to one another, they are quick to take off and land on another leaf.
