Eastern Spine-shouldered Cellophane Bee
Notes: Colletes simulans Cresson was originally described from Colorado. Stephen (1954) recognized four subspecies, with armatus Patton being the subspecies in New England, the northern Great Plains, and the eastern seaboard south to North Carolina. Colletes simulans armatus , is a specialist on late-season Asteraceae (Hurd 1979) and has been collected often on goldenrod ( Solidago s. l.) in Connecticut and across the region. Its peak flight activity in Connecticut is earlier than C. compactus compactus , which generally matches its phenology in New York (Ascher et al. 2014).
