Andrena erythronii is a species of miner bee native to eastern North America. [1] [2] It is known as the trout lily miner bee [3] and trout lily bee, for its association with trout lilies, flowers in the genus Erythronium. [4] It has also been observed visiting the flowers of other spring ephemerals such as spring beauty (Claytonia), hepatica (Hepatica), and harbinger-of-spring (Erigenia bulbosa), as well as spring-flowering shrubs and trees: serviceberry (Amelanchier), plum and cherry (Prunus), and willow (Salix). [4]
Female trout lily miner bees reach 11–14 mm in length while males are a little smaller: 9–11 mm.[ citation needed]
