Good morning together,

found this strange parasitized(?) Thyreus cf histrionicus (thanks for validation/correction) on La Palma, Canary Island, Santo Domingo de la Garafia on August, 23rd, 2011 flying with its assumed host, Amegilla quadrifasciata.
I don't have a clue, what's protruding between T 3 and 4. Anybody else any ideas??? The bee seemed to me to be "vital" like the other unharmed Thyreus-specimen flying around.

Thanks lot,

Marc
