Bee-fly
For such a cute, fluffy insect, bee-flies have a gruesome way of life. Bee-flies lay their eggs into solitary mining bees nests. The female coats her eggs in dust or sand so the eggs do not dry out and which adds that little extra weight so she can be more accurate at flicking her eggs in to the burrows. The Bee-flies larva feeds on the mining bees larva.
This Bee-fly seems to like the Aubretia plant to feed on.
