Cuckoo Leafcutter Bee - Coelioxys immaculatus - Female
Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County, New York, USA
June 1, 2017
Size: 11 mm
We were wondering if this might be a Coelioxys immaculatus?

The bee was found entering a leafcutter nest hole in a grassy pastureland. (The leafcutter species was later identified as Megachile addenda.)

Thanks for your help.
