7mm, Clitheroe UK, 4 September 2011

Does anyone know this curious bee? I was intrigued by the complicated proboscis.

Lasioglossum morio group I think. They are around 6mm and have a greenish metallic glow.

Thanks Janet! I can see from the antennae that this is a male. I measured the length from the photo at 7.3mm, which seems to be within the range for the group.
