This page contains pictures and information about Small Golden Flesh Flies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 5mm 

 

We noticed this small fly when we were waiting and watching what a Bembix wasp was doing at the entrance of its nest. This small fly was also watching the wasp.  

 

 

Their larvae are known to feed on food provisions of solitary bees and wasps.
