Status

Laphria sericea is part of a complex of large, orange eastern species that are difficult to identify in the field. This complex also includes Laphria aktis and an undescribed species discovered by Stephen Bullington. Males are distinguishable from genitalia, and can even be determined from a sharp macrophotograph, but females require a specimen. This species complex can be quite common in deciduous forests.
