Notes: This vernal species, known to be an important blueberry visitor (Boulanger et al. 1967; Bushman & Drummond 2015; Kloet 1976), is commonly found throughout Connecticut in diverse habitats including a coastal wildlife refuge, beach dunes, inland sandplain remnants, acidic bogs, hayfields and grassy meadows, pollinator and botanical gardens, agricultural fields and orchards, hardwood forests, and powerline ROW. A large number of Andrena (Melandrena) records on community science sites from Connecticut and nearby states likely pertain to this species but are often left unidentified due to potential confusion with A. regularis , a numerous species to the north of Connecticut.
