These images were taken at the end of November in Cairo, Egypt on the edge of the Nile.

The plant, [i]Alhagi graecorum.[i] is a native most often found in arid areas and attracts numerous species of insecta.

Thanks

Hi Jacqueline!
This is not a fly (Diptera) but a bee/wasp (Hymenoptera). If you don't get any ID here you can try www.forum.hymis.d...

Good luck!
