Lasioglossum calceatum (Scopoli, 1763)
One of two very similar and distinctive species, Lasioglossum calceatum is widespread in the UK. There are few detectable records from Nottinghamshire and from our own records of recent years, it is very much an under-recorded species. Found in a variety of habitats which includes gardens, there are modern records of Lasioglossum calceatum from Sherwood Forest, Dyscarr Wood, Market Warsop, Mapperley and Thoresby Hall.
