https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombus_campestris

It is found in most of Europe. Females have two yellow bands at the front and back of the thorax and a yellow tail. Males are quite variable, but generally have yellow bands at the front and back of the thorax, a yellow band at the front of the abdomen, and a yellow tail. In pale individuals these yellow areas may almost meet, while in dark individuals they can be heavily reduced. As with all cuckoo bumblebees, it also has darker wing membranes, hairy hind legs in both sexes (no pollen baskets), and sparser hair which allows the shiny exoskeleton to show through. This species has a short tongue and it often feeds on flowers such as scabious and thistles.

It parasitizes nests of Bombus pascuorum (common carder bee), Bombus humilis (brown-banded carder bees), Bombus pratorum (early bumblebees).

Vienintelė iš Lietuvoje aptinkamų kamanių, turinčių geltonais plaukeliais apaugusį pilvelio galą. Nugarėlėje dvi skersinės geltonų plaukelių juostelės.
