Nomada articulata Smith, 1854 ( erigeronis group)

Articulated Nomad

Notes: This species is expected to be a widespread and numerous cleptoparasite of the genus Agapostemon (Gibbs et al. 2017) . Although its status in historical publications is generally uncertain due to potential confusion with N. australis , Connecticut vouchers as early as 1904 have been restudied and verified. Community science images frequently documented N. erigeronis group species (this or N. australis ), but species identification from photos is challenging. This species has been collected in habitats across Connecticut such as powerline ROW, agricultural land, coastal beaches and dunes, suburban and urban areas, and the edge of a swamp.
