The Stingless Bees belonging to the extinct species Proplebeia Dominicana were small eusocial insects, pollinators of orchids and other flowers. They collected pollen with the large, flattened tibiae on the hind legs. This beautiful specimen is a worker female, note on the top of its head the three strongly curved ocelli, simple eyes that assist bees with sun orientation, so they can navigate well during the day.
