Osmia in SE Louisiana (or south Mississippi, AL)?

[Kathryn LeCroy]

Hello, please pardon a second email from me today,

Is anyone on this email list aware of folks, groups, and/or projects that have documented or might be documenting Osmia in Southeastern Louisiana, or perhaps Louisiana generally (or even deep south MS or AL)? I've had a trap-nesting study running in and around New Orleans (Orleans, Jefferson, St Charles, St Tammany, and Tangipahoa parishes to be exact), and we've got some interesting Osmia occupants I wasn't anticipating. I'd love to learn from others who might already know about mason bees around these parts. Please feel free to reply directly to me at kale...@gmail.com . Thank you for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,

Kate LeCroy

Kate,

We are compiling lists for all 48 states for a publication, I can share relevant state lists with you. Kathryn Parys has reviewed LA and MS, Osmia simillima is not listed for either of those states. We do have it projected to be in Alabama but we have no records of it.

Cheers, Neil
