She was cleaning her hiney while sitting on my window frame. As soon as she started cleaning her wings, her beautiful red, metallic butt started shining in the sun! They're tiny, but they're like small jewels flying around!

Location: the Netherlands. It's also almost impossible to tell the exact species. _Chrysis ignata_ is the closest approximation.

Absolutely no idea about the species. I'm in the Netherlands, if anyone has an idea.

Also this is the second year after remodeling our garden and adding so much greenery. The bees have been loving it and I couldn't be happier! ❤️
