Absolutely ! A very nice and convincing bumble bee mimics.
I hope to find it one day.

Ooh!
I wish we did have that species in Finland. It's a pretty good 'catch' in the Stockholm area.

Thanks Kahis. Interestingly there have been three "observations" in last days in May according to
Artportalen. Mine and two in SE Sweden (Sm?land).
