"Halictus rubicundus" is a species of sweat bee found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. "H. rubicundus" was introduced into North America from the Old World during one of two main invasions of "Halictus" subgenera. These invasions likely occurred via the Bering land bridge at times of low sea level during the Pleistocene epoch.
