I'm not an expert and I don't have a guide yet, I just love photographing insects. Here, can you tell me what kind of animal it is? Thank you...

about 2 cm

to K. A. A.

The rider in the photo is most likely serpovka (Therion circumflexum L.)

11.09.2005 18:52, Dracus

Well, then I was wrong. And other options don't come to mind.

08.11.2005 21:13, Tigran Oganesov

Yes, this is Libellula depressa-a flat dragonfly, a female and a male.
Among the webs on your site is the giant Scolia in Latin, not bimaculatus, but maculata, and the second species is Scolia hirta (Steppe Scolia). In reticuloptera, the snail is not eaten by the larva of the goldeneye, but rather by the Carabus (ground beetle).

08.11.2005 21:31, sealor

Oh, that's right, waste paper, it's all polisty.. By the way, are the polysts exactly P. bimaculatus?
Regarding the "larva of the golden-eyed", it was similar to the drawing, but when I read more, the food is completely different for the golden-eyed. Thanks!
But this scolia, it's not like maculata, but also not steppe, but what is it?

Do you have any other photos? They look like a scolium, but I don't remember anything so large, except for a giant. In general, these are males, it seems. Maybe it's the giant that confused.gifI just don't know About polystov, I can't identify it from the photo, I need to drive it by the identifier.

08.11.2005 22:22, sealor

About polystov, I thought, maybe what data is there exactly on the habitat, by exclusion method? And there are pictures of this scolia, but the projection is not very good there. I also assume that it may be a different gender. Or maybe where in the network there is a determinant for Vespidae, even in English?

08.11.2005 22:52, Tigran Oganesov

The determinant is, however, the European part, but there is nothing to drive, you need the dried polist frown.gifRusina in Kherson worked with Polistes dominulus and P. gallicus, maybe one of them?

08.11.2005 23:19, sealor

Exactly, but why exactly one type! Maybe we have two, maybe more.. Yes, it's a pity, of course.. I've got plenty of polysts here, either dried or alive, and I can even get some males..
And the scolia that is in the picture above, about the size, she is sitting next to the female founder, it was in early May, in general, she is somewhere a little more than 3 cm, if you compare the bumblebee. And her head isn't quite like Maculata's, and her sawyere looks different.. Again. I do not know how many species we have, but I have met at least 4, that's for sure(not counting the controversial one in the picture).

09.11.2005 11:34, Tigran Oganesov

Hmm, very strange. With a mustache like that, it's probably a male. But the beginning of May! Maybe it's not scoliasis. Throw another photo of this scoliosis, albeit unsuccessful. Maybe something will help... In general, there are many types of scolias, but they are small in size, and there are only a few such huge ones. We need to look in our collections. When I get to the pulpit , I'll take a look.
And polistov certainly not one type, at least two. But in any case, you need to determine.

09.11.2005 17:59, sealor

No, it's probably scoliosis, but our phenology is such that a lot of things fly in May. These pictures were taken in late May or early June, but in general, the first scolias I see appear at the end of April. In May, they are already flying all over the country (there is a temperature chart for this year on the site).
Today I looked at the nests of polistov-the honeycombs are empty, but there are still wasps. In mid-October, there was still a non-printed brood.
Here are two more pictures of the same scoliosis:

2 sealor
Well, that's much better. There is a variant that it is Scolia quadripunctata

09.11.2005 23:45, sealor

Thank you, but do you have any data about this scolium-its range and abundance? I typed in a search engine - I got only one picture, but the descriptions are in English, I don't speak much. But I'll try translating it..

15.11.2005 20:09, Tigran Oganesov

2 sealor
No, it's still a male Scolia maculata. I was confused by the black head, because the females have a yellow one. It turns out that this is true - the males have a black head. Yes, and the mustache is big.

15.11.2005 21:27, sealor

Well, that's good enough. So the female and male were removed, they have sexual dimorphism. In my scanty books on the subject of scolias, there was no data on dimorphism.

15.11.2005 22:14, Tigran Oganesov

But of course, I don't remember any webbing without it (dimorphism).

17.11.2005 0:02, sealor

Bolivar, well, it depends on how dimorphism is expressed and what species! In the same v. germanica, not everyone will find external differences between two individuals of different sexes( worker and malesmile.gif). And in bee colonies, there are many species where there is practically no" normally viewed " dimorphism!
By the way, there are still a few murmurers, and bedbugs. I definitely don't know the names of bedbugs, and I'm not sure about babblers. Can someone recognize someone?

17.11.2005 2:42, Tigran Oganesov

Well, the fact that not everyone will find differences - so not everyone understands. This does not mean that there is no dimorphism smile.gifI, for example, can distinguish a male germanic from a working one quite calmly, as well as other wasps (polistov, for example). Bumblebees are more difficult, but still possible. And mind you, without any tools. Of course, I am adept at this, so it is easier for me than for people who have not seen the same males. Nevertheless, there are some differences.
About your photos.
Diptera:
1-not a babbler, but a tachina (family Tachinidae): genus Phasia, species possibly aurigera.
2,3,4 - beekeepers Eristalis tenax (may 2-another species)
5 - not a babbler, but a lion (family Stratiomyidae) of the genus Sargus.

17.11.2005 22:00, sealor

Yes, /dpt/sp1.jpg very similar to Volucella pellucens, practically it is, I caught it, and examined it - it does not look like a tahina. Thanks!
About /het/sp5.jpg unfortunately, there is no way to properly skadrirovat, the resolution of the original is weak, but I updated it to crop at the very edges.
This cluster was on Kirkazon, on the steep limestone bank of the river.

Bolivar,
Still on povdu dimorphism, see how confusing its manifestation can be! And if you are not an expert, and there is only a meager book, a school atlas-a determinant of insects, where they were too lazy to even write about the presence of pronounced dimorphism in maculata, not to mention to describe the male..

17.11.2005 22:35, Tigran Oganesov

I agree, but this is from ignorance, and not from the fact that there is no dimorphism, that's the point. If I hadn't looked at the info in the determinant of figs, I would have guessed. Again, I repeat that the definition of photos is akin to a game in the field of miracles - what seemed, then said. After all, the creature must be kept in hand.
And the beetles, it seems, are still P. apterus

What wasp?
Filmed in Kiev.

01.02.2006 12:30, Guest

If I'm not mistaken, this is a solitary wasp from the family Eumenidae, belonging to the genus Odynerus Odynerus.

Greetings to all! Here, I don't know what kind of bee confused.gif
who can help you determine?

I thought Anthophora but the head seems a bit large (and at the expense of pubescence, it is worth considering that it is strongly beaten by time - that the wings that the antennae that the breast...)
Shot in Kiev, (Ukraine - north of the forest-steppe zone) in a park, July 8. a large one, about the size of a small bumblebee.

It looks like it really is a galict, but you can't tell which one right away.

The spider is definitely a scytodes. I've always wanted to see him hunt!



If, only under a microscope. Very small ones.
Help us identify the following insects:
An earth wasp ? 1-1. 5 cm
Water bug "water skater", very cool jumping on the water.

The "earth wasp" is not a wasp, but most likely a bee from the family. Andrenidae

And the hornet, if caught this year - the female founder, however! This means that she either already has a nest that will die without her, or she was just going to fill it. But she probably won't make the nest forcibly, at least not German ones. So it's better to release it. View-probably Vespa crabro.

Release not when it's not too late. I think you are right, this female is fertilized after wintering, she should build a nest. What is missing for construction - wood (Fabre writes that hornets use ash wood), I will offer you a choice of several varieties: ash, vetla, poplar. Should I offer fruit trees? Before the nest is built, you don't need any animals in the form of flies, wasps, or bees.
I'll feed you honey.

24.05.2006 9:37, sealor

Most likely, nothing will come of trying to force her to build a nest. Keep it then in a closed container with a volume of at least 5 liters of buckets, wood should be in the form of young shoots of these species and even aspen can be. Fruit in principle is not necessary. But then again, I can't imagine her building a nest in a closed environment. Why should she build it if there is no way out of prison.

Shot by a friend on the Karelian Isthmus. Obviously some kind of hymenopteran, probably a wasp. But since I'm not an entomologist, I can't determine more precisely frown.gif

29.06.2006 16:24, Bad Den

This is a hymenopteran, but not a wasp, but a sawfly, most likely from the genus Tenthredo

I didn't find this scolium in the Plavilshchikov determinant, I have collected hirta, qadripunctata, maculata, and who is this?
Maybe it's a male hirta. Can you take a picture of your face?

02.07.2006 20:32, sealor

Now, unfortunately, I can't, it's already dark. But, there were a lot of these individuals in a limited area, there were no hirta females among them, then, for hirta, the wings are monophonic in color, and in this one they are yellowish along the upper edge, a yellow stripe passes over the eyes, which breaks in the middle. And so the head is black.
Also, their behavior-behavior, they climbed into the soil cracks, circled above the ground.

And I didn't really consider the grasshopper in the last picture Decticus, there are a lot of differences, I was just wondering who it was, you answered, thank you smile.gif

03.07.2006 19:27, sealor

Here is the" front view " of scolia.
