Found south of Moni Thari (Laerma) on 8_10_2025. I know Merodon is a difficult genus, esp. in Eastern Mediterranean, but I am hoping that someone may be able recognize this sp, by its habitus, or at least the species group!

Hi, Quite a small specimen? With these well defined pollinose vittae on the scutum, maybe have a look in the M. natans group? Best, Jonne |
