Trielis octomaculata ??
Orange colored hairy wasp about 15mm.
Spotted on a Muntingia flower
Not sure about the I D.. Pl. confirm....
Thank you BrunoMoller..
Thank you John for the I D sugestion... Will try to search for the correct wasp species...
Great photos
Seems to be a wasp rather than a bee (this may be a bit technical, but the pronotum is completely wrong for it to be a bee).Try the family Scoliidaehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoliidae
