Hello,
This hairy bee rests on a Chicory (
Cichorium intybus) flower head on the Baltic Island of Usedom in August. I suppose it is
Dasypoda hirtipes, though I have already seen specimens with more hairs on the hind legs. A confirmation or correction, respectively, would be fine!
Thanks, Sundew

Its a male of Dasypoda hirtipes. Males have less hairs than females.
