Looks like a carder bee - that normally chooses fibrous or woolly textured leaves that it will scrape with its jaws to collect the stuff for its nest hole. Wonderfully sharp depiction of it.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks for your post David W (and David R also). Yes, it is a carder bee, doing...guess what?...carding.
