Snowy Miner

Notes: This northern species was first reported in Viereck et al. (1916). The first specimen vouchers we could locate were collected in 1976 on meadowsweet ( Spiraea sp. ) and maleberry ( Lyonia sp. ) in Stafford (Tolland County) by G. I. Stage. Connecticut is near the southern edge of this species’ range. Andrena nivalis is best known from inland and upland locations within the state except for two specimens collected at the Connecticut College Arboretum in coastal New London County in 2019, which is near the Thames River. It has been collected in habitats such as a forest meadow, powerline ROW, upland hardwood forest, agricultural land, and sandplain remnants.
