I always called these Metallic Sweat Bees, but they are actually a Cuckoo Wasp and I'm glad to know. I just love photographing these little ones, they are quite the challenge as they are very fast. They seem to be the most active during the heat of the day and once I notice them in the area, I will pick a spot to sit and wait for them to show up in the flowers around where I sit.
