Colletes fodiens (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785) European species. In Slovenia along the Sava river near Ljubljana and in the Ljubljansko barje (pre-Alpine region). Oligolectic, specialized on Asteraceae (e.g. Tanacetum).
Nests in burrows in the ground, excavated by itself. Univoltine. Flies in July and August. |
Razširjenost vrste v Sloveniji. Edino pomembno najdišče je Jarški prod ob reki Savi pri Ljubljani, kjer pa je vrsta ogrožena zaradi uničevanja habitatov. |
