Notes: This species has been collected in good numbers (n = 26) in New Haven County since Zarrillo et al. (2016), and an additional four individuals have been found in Fairfield, Middlesex, and Hartford Counties. Of note, three of these individuals were seen at their nest entrances on baseball fields, at Frances Veitch Memorial Field in New Haven (New Haven County) and at East Hartford High School (Hartford County). The nests were constructed in hard packed soil/sand in direct sunlight with minimal vegetation nearby. This species has been collected most often in bee bowls in Connecticut (n = 26) at the Pond Lily Nature Preserve, CAES New Haven campus, and CAES Lockwood Farm (New Haven County), and the Bartlett Arboretum (Fairfield County), with one individual captured visiting its host plant, rose mallow ( Hibiscus moscheutos ) (Hurd 1979), at Hammonasset Beach State Park (Middlesex County).
