This is a small and beautiful bee with a less common colouring. I think it is a Megachilidae, but have no idea on the species. Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Lisbon Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [121.69Kb] |

It's an Anthophorid. Genus Amegilla? |

It may be Anthophora (subgenus Amegilla) quadrifasciatus, or a related species. Anthophora in the Mediterranean is very difficult to identify. Regards, Christian |
