- Megachile (Callomegachile) sculpturalis Smith 1853 County records: Cheboygan, Ingham, Jackson, Kent, Monroe, Oakland, Osceola, Washtenaw, Wayne. Notes. Megachile scultupuralis, a distinctive exotic species of East Asian origin, has recently spread across the Northeast and Midwest regions of the country (Hinojosa-Díaz 2008; Magnum & Brooks 1997). It was first recorded from Michigan in 2008 from Wayne and Cheboygan Counties in the southeast and north of the LP, respectively (O’Brien & Craves 2008). The species, known to have been present in the state from at least 2006 (see below; the first Illinois specimen was also collected that year, see Tonietto & Ascher 2009), is active in midsummer. It is known to nest in active Xylocopa virginica burrows in dead wood (Laport & Minckley 2012; Roulston & Malfi 2012) and has been observed in Michigan removing nesting materials of other Megachile species from trap nests (JG pers. obs.).
