Eastern Carpenter
Notes: Records for this species in Connecticut span from 1900–2023, yet most of the records (about 79%) were collected after the year 2000. Although X. virginica virginica is considered to be a “pest” because of its tunneling nesting behavior in wood, it is known to be a valuable pollinator of agricultural crops such as watermelon, musk melon, and cucumber (Winfree et al. 2008).
