I spotted this little fly (max 10mm) in my garden yesterday (29 September 2006), on the island of Crete, in Greece. It looks a lot like a bee (stripped abdomen, hairy thorax), but its size was half of a regular honeybee. I didn't get to study it's behavior, though, I just spotted it when it sat on the soil for a little while, took a couple of shots and then it flew away and as it was so small, I quickly lost it :-(

Any idea what it might be?
