Bees of Zihuatanejo
EPIFAMILY ANTHOPHILA
Euglossa Orchid Bees
Genus Euglossa
Green orchid bees are a quite conspicuous and charismatic species. This is mostly due to their large size and bright metallic-green coloration. The sting itself is less painful than that of a honey bee, though unlike honey bees they can sting repeatedly.
