Impossible to get a in focus, close photo of it, but it’s in frame unfocused. there were two that were interacting on one of the last remaining flowering plants. Caught my eye immediately in the colorless surroundings. Bright metallic green. Very small (~5 mm). Constantly actively moving around the flowers on this one still-green plant. very shy of my camera.
