Notes. Specialist on Asteraceae . This cavity-nester has been studied in Wisconsin ( Medler 1964a; Medler & Lussenhop 1968). In Utah, it has been explored for its potential as a managed pollinator of commercial sunflower ( Tepedino & Frohlich 1982). Megachile pugnata is commonly found in trap-nests placed in both MSU campus, East Lansing, Michigan and prairie restorations in the LP (JG, pers. obs.).
