Some athletic posture for the nectar
ID: Iridescent Nomia(sweat bees)
One of the commonly seen, tiny, bees usually seen around in the garden areas, this particular ones seemed to be feasting on the fresh flower bloom. While observing, realized that the tiny beast first pecked into the base of the flower, to get some fresh nectar, but before leaving would perform this athletic posture, brushing off its its hind limbs, probably to shed off the pollen that can be seen stuck onto its body. It repeated the same procedure while feasting on couple of more, similar, flowers
