Is there a possibility to determine genus? |

Gut feeling is Amobia, but don’t kill me if it is proven some Miltogramma or related. More pics available ? Theo |

Thank you very much Theo, You can go on with your life in peace, I don't take out weapons! Unfortunately I don't have any other pictures. It left too quickly! I have already photographed a Miltogramma that was closely following an albisecta megachile making its nest (It did not succeed in its task...). It is true that these little cleptoparasite flies are very similar... I read that Amobia are kleptoparasites of Ancistrocerus. If that's right and I see it near an Ancistrocerus nest, it would be a safer identification. |

I think this is a Miltogramma, probably M. iberica, although this species wouldn't have a yellow antenna and arista. Could this be an artefact from the photo? The thoracic and abdominal pattern certainly look right for M. iberica.
