It's a stunner!

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Metallic Green Bee
females are often metallic green all over while the males have a yellow-and-black striped abdomen and metallic green head and thorax.

If you would have a mind at peace, a heart that cannot harden, go find a door that opens wide upon a lovely garden.
