Augochlora buscki, M, Back5, Puerto Rico, Yauco

A widespread western hemisphere group, this is one of many bright green Augochlora species (others can range in the black to purple/blue spectrums), this one is special because it occurs only on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, where it was collected by Sara Prado in agricultural fields...a local pollinator. If you visit Puerto Rico please do some bee collecting with traps or nets, there is so much more to find. Photograph by Brooke Alexander.

The grass so little has to do,

A sphere of simple green,

With only butterflies to brood,

And bees to entertain,
