Lasioglossum figueresi, formerly known as Dialictus figueresi, is a solitary sweat bee[1] that is part of the family Halictidae of the order Hymenoptera.[2] Found in Central America, it nests in vertical earthen banks which are normally inhabited by one, though sometimes two or even three, females. Females die before their larvae hatch.[3] It was named after José Figueres Ferrer, a famous Costa Rican patriot, and studies of its behavior are now general models for social behavior studies.[4]
