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!
