Species text
There is a close association with Field Scabious from which the females of this species gather pollen. This large distinctive bee has declined substantially in this country, with only about 15 post-1970 sites in southern England (Falk, 1991), and although present in the Colchester area of North Essex in the nineteenth century, together with its RDB1 cleptoparasite Nomada armata, the only modern records are from Glemsford, where a very small population appears to just survive. There have been no subsequent records of Nomada armata, which is now practically confined to Salibury Plain. References
