Epeolus scutellaris Say, 1824 View in CoL

Notch-backed Cellophane-Cuckoo

Notes: While this species only has 11 records in Connecticut, it is widely distributed, likely due to an association with the common Colletes simulans armatus , and has been detected in every county except Fairfield County. It has been found in sandplain remnants, a coastal state park, and powerline ROW, and visiting anise-scented goldenrod ( Solidago odora ) and American burnweed ( Erechtites hieraciifolius ).
