Hi Amir.


Looks very interesting. Are you sure about the size ?
IF 5 mm., most likely a Siphonini (?? Entomophaga exoleta ??). The size of the leave also suggests smaller size.

Regard the size
its definitely more then 5 mm
more close to 10mm

the plant is Datura innoxia which has very big leaves (see attach photo)
the diameter of the flower is ~9cm
