Abeja cardadora europea
Anthidium manicatum
Abeja
Abeja megachílida solitaria cuyas hembras raspan pelos vegetales de oreja de cordero, betónica y otras hojas lanosas para forrar celdas de cría en cavidades preexistentes. Los machos defienden parches de flores con agresividad, de modo que una mata soleada de lamiáceas lanosas puede convertirse a la vez en fuente de material de nido y en un pequeño teatro territorial.

Clavel de Cheddar
De apoyo / Plantas de néctar
European wool carder bee is common in central and southern European grasslands and visits Dianthus blooms for nectar, though it is not a documented specialist on this genus.
Campanilla apiñada
De apoyo / Plantas de néctar
The European wool-carder bee, a solitary megachilid of sunny gardens across the bellflower’s native range, works open border flowers like these for nectar; males patrol such flower patches as territory.
Geranio de los prados
De apoyo / Plantas de néctar
The European wool-carder bee, a generalist solitary megachilid active over the midsummer bloom, takes nectar and pollen from the open flowers within the shared European range; opportunistic foraging rather than a dependency.
Campanilla de los Cárpatos
De apoyo / Plantas de polen
Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum) are plausible pollen foragers on Campanula in European gardens, though specific records for C. carpatica are not confirmed.
Trébol arbusto de Thunberg
De apoyo / Plantas de polen
Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum), widespread across the Holarctic, collect pollen from legume flowers and would forage on Lespedeza where the plant is grown.
Oreja de cordero
De apoyo / Plantas de refugio
European wool-carder bee females collect the woolly hairs from lamb's ear and other fuzzy Lamiaceae leaves to line brood cells in pre-existing cavities.

Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum) are plausible pollen foragers on Campanula in European gardens, though specific records for C. carpatica are not confirmed.
The wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum), a species present in both Europe and North America, visits aromatic Mediterranean sub-shrubs including Asteraceae such as Helichrysum; females forage for pollen and males defend aromatic-plant territories.
The wool-carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) is documented collecting plant hairs from woolly-leaved plants including Lamiaceae; the dense silver felting on Ballota leaves is a plausible substrate for nest-material harvesting in addition to nectar foraging.
European wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) collects pollen from leguminous flowers in Mediterranean gardens; plausibly uses Coronilla valentina alongside other Fabaceae.
The wool-carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) is a Holarctic species documented visiting silver-haired Mediterranean shrubs; female wool-carder bees also harvest silky leaf hairs for nest-lining, making this a doubly plausible relationship.
Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum), widespread across the Holarctic, collect pollen from legume flowers and would forage on Lespedeza where the plant is grown.
