 Very interesting.

Amobia sp. (Sarcophagidae: Miltogramminae),
which are known parasitoids of Aculeata with nests in hollow stems (like.... bamboo !)

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
