Lasioglossum texanum is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae.[1][2] It is a ground nesting bee that flies out to collect pollen in the evening and also at night until around 10:00 PM when the moon is up. It only collects pollen from the flowers of the four-point evening-primrose (Oenothera rhombipetala).[3]
