Melecta (Melecta) duodecimmaculata (ROSSI, 1790)

As this is a cleptoparasitic species, all flower visits will be for nectar only.

The species is known to visit Lavandula stoechas (Lamiaceae). In Cyprus, Mavromoustakis (1948) reports visitation to Amygdalus dulcis (Rosaceae); Oxalis corniculatus (Oxalidaceae); Asphodelus ramosus microcarpus (Asphodelaceae); Anthemis (Asteraceae); Mandragora officinarum (Solanaceae).
