Scientific profile
Melitta haemorrhoidalis belongs to the family Melittidae. It has a univoltine life cycle, completing one generation per year. The species is oligolectic, specialising on a limited group of host plants for pollen. Flight activity occurs in July and August. The inter-tegular distance of the female measures 2.52 mm, reflecting its small body size. No further ecological or distributional details beyond presence in Great Britain are provided by the available evidence, and its status has not been assessed beyond a simple presence record.
