I posted this picture before, but today I was able to identify the "green bug" in the picture

The genus Agapostemon is a common group of Western hemisphere sweat bees
of generally green or blue appearance (head and thorax always, sometimes also the abdomen in some females). There are some 45 species in the genus, ranging from Canada to Argentina.
They superficially resemble various members of the tribe Augochlorini,
which are typically metallic greenish in appearance.
