Hi,
Found this cuckoo bee in the south of the Netherlands near by Eindhoven.
The blue eyes got me confused with specifies we are dealing with. I was thinking about Nomada rufipes but this seems not correct.


Does anybody else have any idea which species we are dealing with ?
Or give me a direction so i can look further.

Kind regards,
Richard

Hi Richard, not easy to see, but it reminds me of an Oxybelus wasp (Crabronidae, Crabroninae), I've recently detected. Hopefully it may give a direction.
