Description

These we will need also again. It becomes unfortunately in the next days again ice coldly. No spring in sight :-( European wool carder bee Wollbiene They get the name 'carder' from their behaviour of scraping hair from leaves such as lamb's ears (Stachys byzantina). They carry this hair bundled beneath their bodies to be used as a nest lining. Die Namensgebung ist auf die Verwendung von Pflanzenwolle zum Brutzellenbau zurückzuführen. wish you a wonderful day/night! ....many thanks for the nice remarks and favorites on my previous photos! ***************PLEASE OPEN THE FULL-SIZED IMAGE WINDOW***************

That is a truly fantastic image. And thanks for the education. Previously I would have seen that and said wasp! And promptly squished it. I have a little more appreciation for it now.
