Cuckoo Bee, Triepeolus helianthi grandis? Maybe? I have a feeling I am way wrong. :)

Thanks for the reply, John. I got that name from ??

It looked a bit suspicious but I didn't know. Anyway, I'll go with Genus Triepeolus.

Thanks again.

please consult range maps
T. grandis is only in AZ, NM, Mexico, etc.

T. lunatus, T. cressonii, and T. pectoralis are candidates (see range maps for these)

John, I found T. lunatus in PA and MA. Similar to this photo but not same. No records of T. cressonii or T. pectoralis on BugGuide. At least I could not find them with a search.

Upon further scrutiny, T. lunatus does appear correct.
