Neolarra vigilans is a kleptoparasitic[1] species of cuckoo bee in the family Apidae. It is found from northern Mexico to southern Canada.[2][3][4]

Its range was extended northward by several hundred miles after Michael and Dan O'Loughlin discovered a specimen on a friend's lawn in Burns, Oregon.[5]
