Hello, This small Sarcophagidae was flying on nests of I think Andrena vaga (Apidae). Is it possible to give it an ID? Thanks in advance. Arno van Stipdonk ArnovanStipdonk attached the following image:  [127.65Kb] Edited by ArnovanStipdonk on 16-04-2011 20:20 |

If it was investigating ground-nesting Hymenoptera it should be ringing alarm bells in your head - Miltogramminae, Sarcophagidae

Thanks Chris, hopefully next time the alarmbells will ring. I suppose it is an Ascophagidae? Anyone who knows which species it is? |

? Ascophagidae ? Typo ? Anyway, it is indeed a Miltogramminae, looks definitely like a female Metopia. Theo |
