Dressed for Dinner
Here’s a Wasp! A Yellowjacket I think. But this Yellowjacket has a green jacket! I can’t find any reference to such an occurrence. Strange! It’s approaching a Thistle flower.
2014-08-10: I have learned that this is not a Wasp at all. It is in fact a Metallic Green Bee! Thanks to Der Wandersmann for his advice!

Pat, beautiful but strange! Thanks!

Apparently it’s not a wasp, but some kind of bee, and the green colour is entirely normal. I was alarmed at first, because it looked like it had been infected with some kind of mould, but apparently it’s OK. BTW, this picture is better than any I found while researching.

D, thanks! I was alarmed at the same thing! But I had. No luck finding out anything!
