While watering the lawn daily here in Los Angeles I would be visited
by a blue/black irridecent flying insect. It would land on the edge
of a stainless steel bowl I fill up and leave out for the
neighborhood birds and sip the water. I think it was be attracted to
the mist of the water on the hot days.

The insect was about an inch long and about a quarter inch or less
wide with compact wings and a round head as wide as its body with two
short intenna protruding straight out in front of its head.

Any guesses as to what kind of insect this was?
I found this little daily visitation very amusing and mysterious and
was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of insect this was.
