Wool-carder bee? - Anthidium oblongatum - Male
Naperville - my yard, Dupage County, Illinois, USA
July 26, 2021
I have calamint growing in my raised garden and I see all kinds of bees visiting daily. This one seemed a bit different and Google lens pulled up a wool-carder bee which seems to be a match. Anthidium oblongatum looks really close but I do not know my bees so I'm hoping for someone with more knowledge to help me identify the species. Thank you!
