Hi


Permission granted by Nikola from Croatia.

I think the fly above hemipteran (is it possible to ID the hemipteran as well?)
can be a Milichiidae?? but not sure...


the bush is Helichrysum italicum. (it can help?)


*** EDIT - CHANGED coleopter to hemipteran. thanks fisher. Wink

Probably a Desmometopa.

Just a fantastic picture! Milichiid fly is visiting a doomed Hemipteran, possibly a 'burrowing bug' - family Cydnidae.
