Description

There are no other Lasioglossum, at least in the eastern U.S., so extensively and uniformly blue. It is so blue that it is often mistaken for an Osmia. (S. Droege/USGS PWRC, pers. comm.)

Nests are categorized as rotten logs, and social behavior is categorized as primitively eusocial or semisocial (Selfridge et al., 2017).
