Hylaeus annulatus
(Linnaeus, 1758)

Hylaeus annulatus, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Colletidae. It is found in North America and Europe.[1][2]

Hylaeus annulatus relies on specific cavities in standing dead wood for nesting, making the availability of suitable nest sites a critical factor for its population, even though it forages from a wide variety of flowers.[3]
