Decent size for a native bee, slightly smaller than a honey bee

Very nice photos. Despite the great detail it is hard to be sure of the identity. This is a problem with the features that separate subgenera, not with the images. It is probably a Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) species, especially given the reoprted size, but the colours are a bit more intense than usually seen in that subgenus.
