Chrysididae, Serbia

Photos were taken on May 2 on the outskirts of Belgrade. I guess size is app. 6mm, but flower can give you better idea. Thanks in advance for ID.

Milan!

very interesting pictures, with the Chrysidid trying to enter into the flower.

It is a Chrysura dichroa (Dahlbom), perhaps a male. In this season they are quite common because they parasite solitary bees (e.g. Osmia), which are on the wings in spring.
