Moved
Moved from Chelostoma.

Only one species is known from PA:
Chelostoma (Prochelostoma) philadelphi (Robertson, 1891)

This visits mock orange (Philadelphus) and other plants

If you have Campanula around then it might be possible to find one of the two introduced species known from NY.

Which of these plants are growing at the site?

 
Mock orange
I have seen mock orange, but haven't noticed Campanula. I will be in the look out for it, now.

 
I think this is C. philadelphi
that is the only expected species and it looks exactly like some I caught this weekend in Prospect Park, Brooklyn
