There are three wings, so I guess it lost one of them. There’s also a big hole in the head (shown in last pic) and some of the legs appear to be missing. Sorry for the shitty photos, I took them on my phone.

Do you speak FInnish or have, uh, access to someone who does? I found a bumblebee recognition guide, but it’s in Finnish only https://suomenluonto.fi/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kimalaiskoulu.pdf

It does have pictures though, so it might be useful anyhow

Looks like a bumblebee. Hard to tell which, maybe bombus festivus or bombus pascuorum?

Not an entomologist, just googling.

Maybe? Definitely some kind of bumblebee.
