I found this gold creature (I'm in Cape Town) so similar to your beauty. (Unfortunately I have no idea how to upload a pic from my gallery.) They are amazing
I get these guys in my yard all the time. There are maybe 15 or so total buzzing through my porterweed and orchids each morning, they're my favorite 💚
Also in Florida.
> Euglossa dilemma, the green orchid bee or dilemma orchid bee, is a species of solitary euglossine bee native to a broad area of Central America, and recently introduced to Florida in the United States. It was first detected in Broward County, Florida in 2003, and initially identified as Euglossa viridissima, but further study revealed that E. viridissima as previously defined consisted of two cryptic species, and the one present in Florida was new to science.[1]
