This is a blue-banded bee, genus Amegilla, but which species I could not say. The blue-banded bees can be very difficult to identify precisely.

Michael, would you be happy to have Amegilla sp. (genus) as a generalised name to cover cases such as this?
   18 Feb 2017
Yes. That would be a good idea.
