Blue cohosh (Caulophyllum giganteum) and bee

Reveler Conservation Area

The woods are full of this native plant. It is just beginning to emerge, the leaves are deep purple at the moment and the flowers just starting to open. It attracts many pollinating insects including this tiny bee which is, I believe, one of the many Halictid species. The leaves eventually open fully and turn green: http://www.pbase.com/laroseforest/image/160001135
