A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Didacus Ciliatus
A wasp like, small fly with distinctive yellow markings set in a brown body. this species attacks various Cucurbit plant species such as watermelons, pumpkins, gourds and gem squashes. Most likely appearing in our house because of our cucumber growing program.
Prefers arid regions that are natural or cultivated where the Cucurbits are growing. because of our recent long hot summer here I am not surprised to see them.
