An Oblong Woolcarder Bee "carding wool," or gathering plant fibers to line her nest. She pulls fibers from the plant and holds them in a ball against her abdomen, and then, with some calisthenics, tightens up the ball before flying off with it in her mandibles.

Wool Carder Bee (Anthidium manicatum)

Distribution: Native to Europe, Asia and North Africa; introduced to South America, North America, New Zealand and the Canary Islands, where it's invasive.

Habitat: Normally found in gardens, fields and meadows that contain their preferred plants, but also found in heathlands, woodland rides and clearings, wetlands, river banks,

Diet: Generalists; feed on the pollen from various flower families, with a preference for species found in their native distribution; prefer blue flowers with long throats.

Description: The wool carder bee earns its name from its behaviour of scraping the trichomes (or hairs) from the leaves of plants, creating little balls of hair that they use to line their nests, built into pre-existing cavities such as hollow stems and dead wood. Other materials used in nest-building include mud, resin, stones and leaves. The trichome bundles are fashioned into little cells, in which the female will lay an egg, along with a bundle of pollen and nectar for the larva to feed on after it hatches. Once all the cells are full, the cavity is sealed off with a terminal plug.

Male wool carder bees are extremely territorial and aggressive, both to other males of their species as well as other pollinators. This has two purposes: first of all, the male defends its ressources, which allows it to have ample food for itself, but a food-filled territory also attracts females for the males to mate with. When an uninvited guest comes to feed on a flower in the male's territory, the male will attack it with brief, aggressive tackles in order to shoo it away. If this isn't enough, the male will occasionally crush the enemy to death against its spiky abdomen (because this bee does not have a stinger!).

Here's a really cool video of a female wool carder bee harvesting trichomes!

@smolskye submitted: hello mister bugperday! I was walking in Portland OR USA and found a wide variety of bees and wasps at these flowers. I recognized and searched up some western yellow jackets, euro honeybees, and multiple bumblebee species, but I can't find anything about this fuck off HUGE unit that accompanied them! i would say it was about 1 to 1.5 inches long. it was buzzing around so fast I could barely take a photo, and it kept landing on top of the other bugs, but it didn't seem to hurt them. do you have any idea what this large fellow might be? thank you!!

Love the implication that my first name is Onenice and my last name is Bugperday.

Anyhoo this fella looks like a European woolcarder bee, Anthidium manicatum. Despite the name they are indeed found in your location. They're called wooldcarders or carder bees because they strip the hairs off of the leaves like the ones you see in your photo and use it as nesting material. Males are also super territorial, and will attack any bugs in their territory, which is probably the behavior you saw with him landing on other bugs. Males can't sting, but they can bite and harass!

See the pie crust edge to the clypeus?  See the mandibles with multiple teeth?  Pretty good indication that you are seeing an invader from Europe (If you are in North America not Europe obviously) #Anthidium manicatum female.

Buzz buzz Trick or Treat!

trick or treat trick or treat! Anthidium manicatum, or the european wool carder bee, is one of my favorite kinds of bee! I love how they clip hairs off of plants (think fuzzy ones like lamb’s ear), roll them up, and use them to line their nests!!

here's a video of one doing her thing!

Went to a well-known public garden and found lots of wildlife on the flowers.
