Abeille cotonnière européenne
Anthidium manicatum
Abeille
Abeille mégachile solitaire dont les femelles raclent les poils végétaux de l'oreille-d'agneau, de la bétoine et d'autres feuilles laineuses pour garnir des cellules de couvain dans des cavités préexistantes. Les mâles défendent agressivement des massifs fleuris; une touffe ensoleillée de lamiacées laineuses peut donc servir à la fois de matériau de nid et de petite scène territoriale.

Œillet de Grenoble
De soutien / Plantes à nectar
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.
Campanule agglomérée
De soutien / Plantes à nectar
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.
Géranium des prés
De soutien / Plantes à nectar
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.
Campanule des Carpates
De soutien / Plantes à pollen
Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum) are plausible pollen foragers on Campanula in European gardens, though specific records for C. carpatica are not confirmed.
Lespédèza de Thunberg
De soutien / Plantes à pollen
Wool-carder bees (Anthidium manicatum), widespread across the Holarctic, collect pollen from legume flowers and would forage on Lespedeza where the plant is grown.
Épiaire de Byzance
De soutien / Plantes abri
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.
