Leptoglossus clypealis in Southern Ontario, Canada - Leptoglossus clypealis

Leptoglossus clypealis in Southern Ontario, Canada - Leptoglossus clypealis
Burlington, ON, Canada, Halton Region, Ontario, Canada
July 13, 2006
Size: 2.5 cm
I was surprised to notice this species here in Ontario, Canada. It was feeding on the flowers of a Yucca plant that has been in my backyard for the last 3 years. I had also notice the presence of mating Carpophilus melanopterus (Yucca beetles) on the Yucca flowers a couple of days before this picture was taken. Anyone has more evidence as to the present distribution of Leptoglossus clypealis outside southern and western US?

We have a photo from Illinois, too
