White-zoned Furrow Bee Lasioglossum leucozonium
This individual (found on Ragwort) is shown with a close-up of the forewing where the third submarginal cell being larger than the middle one and the strongly curved basal vein help to identify it to the family Halictidae. The close-up of the abdomen shows the conspicuous white tomentose patches at the bases of tergites 2 and 3, the next photo show the underside of the abdomen tip showing the pale hairs in a v-shaped area between a pair of dark ridges on sternite 6 and the last photos shows the coarsely rugose propodeum.
