Bee of the genus Xylocopa. Where was it taken?

01.08.2007 10:26, Sergey D

Taken in the Gorky region 3 days ago. What kind of bee in more detail? Is this the right bee? Is Mono eating her honey? And where to find it?

01.08.2007 10:35, omar

No way! Bad Den - do you have xylocopes? This is a single bee, settles in the wood, chews out its own cells. It is common in the south, but rare in the middle zone. You can eat honey if smile.gifyour sting is very painful, worse than that of a hornet, so you'd better be careful. smile.gif

Solitary carpenter bee Xylocopa. Makes holes in wood smile.gif

No, Sergey, the bee is wrong. It does not live in flocks, but alone, making nests by gnawing out cavities in wood ( for which it is called the carpenter bumblebee). Generally no use.
I wonder if it really goes that far north? I often visited the Saratov region - I never met it (although I really wanted to). Still global warming.....

I'll go get some honey this weekend. Can I send it to you?(if I find it and don't get bitten)

01.08.2007 10:45, omar

I'm curious about the Nizhny Novgorod region. I've never seen it there. Does it exist at all? It is very rare in Moscow. It is quite common in the Saratov region. As well as in Tambov.

pilnensky district Knyazhikha village is the south-east of the Gorky region. to the city of Sumerl (in Chuvashia) 50 km. the area around the village is full of deciduous (aspen, etc.) trees. Should I send you some honey?

Send it to us. Just in time for the forum meeting. That's all and let's try it. lol.gif

I also want a medic shuffle.gif lol.gif

01.08.2007 12:56, Sergey D

I'll pump it up and bring it back (if they don't get bitten by these fucking xylicopes).
And here's another question - this is the kind of creature we have. She somehow pierces the skin with a horn, and then drinks blood. or horns so for courage (they say I'll gore everyone). or is it the "horned husband"?

This is a horsefly from the genus Tabanus. It's his mustache. And he pricks the skin with his proboscis, which is from below.

01.08.2007 14:52, guest: Sergey D

Thank you omar, with me purple xylocop honey.

Just keep in mind that if a xylocope stings you in the eye, for example, it will be very bad. weep.gif

Are these bees aggressive? And then in the Crimea there were a lot of them, and not once did they bite. One even took a picture.

Like all solitary wasps or bees (as opposed to wasp bees), xylocops are non-aggressive creatures. They only bite if you really "get it". This is not surprising: the nest of a honey bee or other wasps can lose several dozen of its inhabitants without any damage. A single wasp (bee) cannot afford to die just like that - it "must" first of all raise its "children". Therefore, it avoids all kinds of aggressive actions, prefers to fly away and not bite.

Help me determine:
1 photo - as it seems to me, this is an anteater. There was an ant sitting next to it - 2 photos.

I want to clarify the definitions of the South Ural (removed in May) ranges.
Bombus helferanus - is it really a taxon of the species rank?
Thank you in advance for your attention.

Among them new species are still being described from Europe smile.gif

Similar to our species Stilbum calens. Only in our species, the head, back, and scutellum are blue (the same color as the last abdominal tergite). Here, it's all distinctly green. It is a pity that there are no decent qualifiers for European Chrysidae... Probably still the genus Stilbum.

In my opinion, Stilbum cyanurum is a typical European species. But it's better to ask the experts. And if you can write the dimensions?

How synchronized we are! Well, exactly Stilbum.

Photo 5-maybe it's a stone bumblebee???


Photo 5 resembles a bee from the genus Prosopis (now Hylaeus). The last photo is probably still Polistes. Ant-probably some Formica fusca.

Not Andrena bicolor-100% Up To the view from one photo of the South Ural andrena
, Bombus hypnorum-I agree
About Evylaeus. As far as I understand Evylaeus is a subgenus of the genus Lasioglossum. Which, in turn, was recently isolated from the genus Halictus.
I don't have any decent works on the taxonomy of halictids, so I would call this bee: a representative of the genus Halictus in the broad sense (according to the green determinant)

Dimensions 10-12 mm

04.08.2007 18:00, Zhernov

Dimensions 10-12 mm.

Well, the size fits Stilbum cyanurum, as well as Stilbum calens. I'm still pretty sure it's cyanurum. But that genus Stilbum is 100%. You are on Google photos and both look, compare, still your word is decisive smile.gif

04.08.2007 19:06, Nilson

Zhernov and aleks2611 - my mega-respect!
Stilbum cyanurum is very similar.

Zhernov On the last photo Polistes-most likely Polistes nimpha Chr. or, less likely, Polistes biglumis ( The cheeks are not visible if the cheeks are completely black-then Polistes biglumis) .

In Mordovia, these carpenter bees are also quite common. I generally thought it was a normal view.

06.08.2007 8:00, omar

Mordovia is another matter. It becomes common somewhere in the Tambov-Voronezh region.

06.08.2007 10:47, алекс 2611

As far as I understand, the rider (Icneumonidae).
Similar to the genus Ophion. But in general, IchMan and Lerth are professionally engaged in them . they sometimes come in and identify all the riders at once.

I remember, at the age of 13, I traced where the xylocope flew in and after killing it (I repent), I picked up a piece of wood and got honey. Brown powdery mass, cloudy, tastes bitter. So I do not advise you to download honey smile.gif

As far as I know, Xylocopa valga lives in central Russia, which differs from X. violacea in size. It is unlikely that violacea can penetrate so far to the north. On the other hand, the bee in the photo looks more like X. violacea...

07.08.2007 22:49, RippeR

valga has a larger and wider head, but they are the same in size.. There are still some distinctive features that I don't remember, but these two don't differ much.. this one, however, is more like a violacea.

1-net-winged, most likely ant lion
2-looks like a freckle
3 - some feathery antennae... if it weren't for the mouthpiece, I would have called it a glasshouse, and so prepon.
4 is a weevil or something? confused.gif
5-bumblebee. also obstacle
6-rider. go to the topic.

08.08.2007 12:07, Tigran Oganesov

3-crested sawfly (family Diprionidae)
5 - not a bumblebee, bee from Anthophoridae
6 - not a rider, but a sphecid-Ammophila
