Megachile sculpturalis on the way to West- and Central Germany
The 11th edition of Paul Westrich's observations of Megachile sculpturalis is there. It describes first observations of M. sculpturalis in North Rhine Westphalia and an iNaturalist observation in Hesse.

In fact, the "observation" of M. sculpturalis from North Rhine Westphalia ("Münsterland und zwar in 59269 Beckum") was shown to be the ERRONEOUS identification of Bombus pascuorum! It was originally posted on July 30 on 11th edition of Paul Westrich's project, then corrected on August 14 (after the error was reported by @jovanabd), and finally deleted without any trace of error-reporting.
Currently, Rheinland-Pfalz seems to be the northernmost reported region.
