Augochlorella Aurata
''Augochlorella aurata'' is a species of Halictidae, sweat bee (bees attracted by the salt in human sweat) in the family Halictidae. It is found in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. The body is a brilliant green metallic color, diffused to varying extents with a copper, red, or yellow color. Its length is 5 to 7 mm. A common name is golden green sweat bee. Description and identification Members of ''Augochlorella aurata'' are usually a golden green color but can range from a metallic blue to a coppery pink. Both males and females of ''Augochlorella aurata'' are around 5-7mm, females usually being slightly larger than males. Like many bees, the females have 11 antennal segments and the males have 10. The propodeum is relatively uniform, with no ridge, separating it from bees in a closely related genus, ''Agapostemon''. The hind tibial spur is simple or slightly serrated, distinguishing it from the genus ''Augochloropsis''. Like many members of Halictidae, the tip of the ...

Halictidae
Halictidae is the second-largest family of bees (clade Anthophila) with nearly 4,500 species. Halictid species are an extremely diverse group that can vary greatly in appearance. These bees occur all over the world and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Usually dark-colored (frequently brown or black) and often metallic, halictids are found in various sizes, colors and patterns. Several species are all or partly green and a few are red, purple, or blue. A number of them have yellow markings, especially the males, which commonly have yellow faces, a pattern widespread among the various families of bees. The family is one of many with short tongues and is best distinguished by the arcuate (strongly curved) basal vein found on the wing. Females in this family tend to be larger than the males. They are commonly referred to as "sweat bees" (especially the smaller species), as they are often attracted to perspiration. Ecology Most halictids nest in the ground, often in ha ...

North America
North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea, and to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean. Because it is on the North American Plate, North American Tectonic Plate, Greenland is included as a part of North America geographically. North America covers an area of about , about 16.5% of Earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface. North America is the third-largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the list of continents and continental subregions by population, fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe. In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 579 million people in List of sovereign states and dependent territories in North America, 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population.

Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountains, also known as the Rockies, are a major mountain range and the largest mountain system in North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch in straight-line distance from the northernmost part of western Canada, to New Mexico in the southwestern United States. Depending on differing definitions between Canada and the U.S., its northern terminus is located either in northern British Columbia's Terminal Range south of the Liard River and east of the Trench, or in the northeastern foothills of the Brooks Range/ British Mountains that face the Beaufort Sea coasts between the Canning River and the Firth River across the Alaska-Yukon border. Its southernmost point is near the Albuquerque area adjacent to the Rio Grande rift and north of the Sandia–Manzano Mountain Range. Being the easternmost portion of the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are distinct from the tectonically younger Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada, which both lie farther to its west. The ...

Augochlora Pura
''Augochlora pura'' is a solitary sweat bee found primarily in the Eastern United States. It is known for its bright green color and its tendency to forage on a variety of plants. Inhabiting rotting logs, this bee can produce up to three generations per year. Both males and females have been observed licking sweat from human skin, most likely seeking salt ''Augochlora pura'' was recently suggested the common name Pure Green Sweat Bee, but about it has been written that "...it does not seem to need one with such a musical scientific designation that means 'pure golden green.'" Taxonomy and phylogeny Within Halictidae, 4 subfamilies, 81 genera, and over 4,000 species have been defined. About 1,000 of the species in the genera ''Halictus'', ''Lasioglossum'', ''Augochlora'', and ''Augochlorella'', are eusocial. Description and identification Both males and females are approximately 8 mm long. Over most of the range of the species, their entire bodies are a shiny, bright gree ...

Augochlorella Aurata Range
''Augochlorella'' is a genus in the bee family Halictidae, commonly called sweat bees. They display metallic coloration, ranging from reddish to gold to bluish green, as is typical for other genera in the tribe Augochlorini. Identification and appearance ''Augochlorella'' are very small sweat bees that are easily confused with the related genus ''Augochlora'' but differentiated by the pointed tip of the marginal cell (squared off in ''Augochlora''), an orthogonal epistomal sulcus, and no strong basal lobe on the inner metatibial spur.''.'' These features can only be viewed under a microscope. Origin and distribution The tribe Augochlorini is distributed between northern Argentina to southern Canada, but mostly concentrated to the tropics of the Americas. They are the most abundant bees in the Neotropical fauna. Only a few species of ''Augochlorella'' reach the temperate Nearctic region. ''Augochlorella striata'' occurs further north than any other member of the tribe. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
