Status
Laphria flavicollis is probably the most common Laphria, sensu stricto, in much of the east. This species breeds in logs in deciduous forest, and is often found feeding on sunlit vegetation or edges of fields. The adult activity period ranges from mid-late April into July.
Description
The yellow pile of the thorax contrasting with the black abdomen is somewhat distinctive, but it is similar to Laphria virginica. L. flavicollis has long, yellow scutellar bristles, while these bristles are shorter and black on virginica. L. virginica is also generally stockier in build compared to flavicollis.
