Green Orchid Bee, Euglossa dilemma, recently introduced into the US and first detected in Broward County in 2003. Females use propolis from European honey bee hives to make their nests (I'm a beekeeper in Brevard County -- we have them here), and males store fragrance ingredients from flowers in their hollow hind legs to woo females.
