Megachile sculpturalis since 2021 also confirmed for Mallorca island (Spain)

M. sculpuralis was detected in several places on Mallorca in 2021. There was evidence so far in Portocolom, Inca. Palma de Mallorca, Alcúdia and Sóller.
It is assumed that the species was introduced in 2020 or earlier on Mallorca (in German language):

There is already a first observation at iNaturalist in Mallorca:

This is likely to be the southernmost occurrence of M. sculpturalis in Europe
