Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Can you tell me, please, who is it that "filled up" the cicada?

If you don't mind, please specify the location and approximate size of the wasp.

As for me, this is Stizus, pulls on S. fastiatus

Good afternoon! Hopefully, I turn to the professionals: can not experts estimate what kind of osmia (or maybe not osmia) live in our country? Zaporozhye region. All photographed in spring, late April, early May.

1 photo - is this by any chance Osmia caerulescens (Linnaeus, 1758)? Male
2 photos - I would say it is a female Osmia aurulenta (Panzer, 1799)
the rest should think

And I thought it was Sphecius

the rest we must think about

Thank you very much! Aurulenta is already something!!! Osmia caerulescens-we fly like this, it seemed to me that this is exactly them:

Without much hope, and suddenly, at least to the genus-family.

Surroundings of Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov region. May 30.

Most likely, it is Arge ustulata (Linnaeus, 1758) from Argidae, one of the most common representatives of the genus

Please help me deal with Ichneumonidae.

June 20.

In order:
1. Female Ichneumon sp. (Ichneumoninae)
2. probably some kind of Banchinae - because of the dew, almost nothing can be made out
3. Coleocentrus excitator (Poda, 1761) (Acaenitinae)
4. Very similar to Lissonota lineolaris (Gmelin, 1790), aka L. catenator Panzer, 1804 ( in green) - n / sem. Banchinae

Alomya, right?
[attachmentid()=163802]

Alomya, but rather A. semiflava Stephens

Please define as much as possible. 07.10.12. Rostov region.

The angle is bad, I think it is a representative of Campopleginae

The angle is unfortunate, I think that this is a representative of Campopleginae

Thank you very much, there is still such a photo, if it helps to clarify.

Like her. The view for the steppe zone is very common

Please identify the bee, if possible. There is no quality. 10.06.12. Rostov region.

Thank you very much! Can't this golden osmium be Osmia latreillei?


Do we still have redheads like this flying on the Sea of Azov, Osmia cfr rufigastra?Photographed on 12.06.2011

Can you tell me, please, who is it that "filled up" the cicada?

Sphecius conicus is.
Stizus don't catch cicadas, they need mantises and fillies.

Thank you very much! Can't this golden osmium be Osmia latreillei?

Highly unlikely. Most likely Osmia caerulescens.

As a suggestion, Hoplitis princeps. If, of course, they are large. There are no keys at hand, but the habitus seems similar.

Please identify the bee, if possible. There is no quality. 10.06.12. Rostov region.

Halictus sp., type H. quadricinctus or H. brunnescens, female.

Highly unlikely. Most likely Osmia caerulescens.

Oh, thank you so much for haplitus! I looked in the Red Book of Ukraine, similar, only there is not much red, they can differ within the species in color?
Regarding Osmia caerulescens, I wonder if they fly like this, greenish, small:

and they fly bigger, with different habits:

Is it the same view?

Please help me identify it. Ukraine, Zaporozhye, Khortytsia Island. 26.05.2012.

As for Osmia caerulescens, it's interesting that they fly like this, greenish, small:
and they fly larger, with different habits:

Catch
It will be interesting to tinker. And so, according to the photo, one fig of divination

Oh, I can't raise my hand against bees, I love them very much. Unless I find the deceased, I will contact toda

I sent you a private message. Did you see it?

In order not to load about fifty photos into the topic individually, I filled them with an archive.
http://crimea.fotopage.ru/hymenopt.rar
If there is someone who wants to determine, I will be glad. All emails were taken in the Crimea, most of the files have a date in the name (year'month'day).
Interested in defining up to the form where possible. As well as an indication of the fundamental impossibility of determining the appearance of certain photos.
If it is necessary for some types, I will post a larger one.

Should I watch it, or is it something you've already sent me?

The same.

Oh, thank you so much for haplitus! I looked in the Red Book of Ukraine, similar, only there is not much red, they can differ within the species in color?

In the Red Book, another species - Hoplitis fluva, it does not differ from H. princeps in color, differences in the punctuation of the forehead. According to the distribution in the Sea of Azov, H. princeps is more likely, but these species cannot be distinguished from the photo. If this is what we are talking about at all (the genus Hoplitis, the subgenus Megalosmia, we have only 2 species). I may be wrong, as I don't see the dimensions or other important features. Individuals within each species can vary in color depending on the age of the bee, at first - such as in the photo, then-such as in the Red Book, shabby and, therefore, more gray (the black color of the background is more visible, and the hairs are paler).

Valeria, can you tell me the coordinates of the find?

Regarding Osmia caerulescens, I wonder if they fly like this, greenish, small:

Anything is possible, they differ in age, young ones are more pubescent, their metallic color is hidden under the pubescence. Then the pubescence is frayed, and the color becomes more noticeable. But maybe it's different types. It is impossible to say for sure, male osmias of this group of the subgenus Helicosmia (species O. caerulescens, O. niveata, O. leaiana, O. melanogaster and O. dimidiata) are determined only by genitals. I can only say that the first type is usually the smallest, the last-the largest, the other three-medium. Usually, but not always. Catch bees, people say correctly

Catch bees, people speak correctly

Thank you so much for such a detailed explanation! I was so happy that I didn't see that there was a different species in the Red Book , but then I figured it out.
Coordinates - Molochny estuary. We go to rest on the spit of Peresyp, and at the end of this spit in front of the dredger there are two such swamps, where the huntsmen grow fish for themselves, and there are no longer bases, just blue-headed fields. In the area of these swamps, I once met a bee.

Male Andrena sp. probably.

In addition, in the case of females, there is another nuance. The collected pollen affects the color of the pubescence of the hind legs and the lower abdomen. Often you look with the naked eye at a bee on a flower and it seems that the pubescence of the hind legs is light. And at home, you start to look at it under magnification and it turns out that the pubescence of the hind legs is black, and the collected pollen gives a light color. And if you remember that pollen comes in different colors and shades...

It seems to be males, so-only on the genitals. We can only assume that it can be Bombus hortorum (as the most common species with such an arrangement of bandages).

Heterarthrus vagans (Fallén, 1808)

Colleagues, could you guide me to the literature on Ichneumonidae, Eurytomidae, Pteromalidae, Braconidae, and Eupelmidae of the Moscow region? Should I even search for lists in the Moscow Region? So far, I've only found one job in the field with a list of riders.

You see, what a catch. Serious specialists and serious publishing houses in our country (!) treat narrowly regional lists with a high degree of skepticism. And they are quite understandable, since such publications confuse rather than explain.

This was the publication:
Mosolov N. A. Hymenoptera: List of hymenopteran
insects collected in the Podolsk uyezd / / Natural
History collection of E. P. Sheremeteva in the village of Mikhailovsky
Moscow. gubernii, Moscow, 1905, pp. 1-23.

There are really enough errors there. And now there are no enthusiasts in sight...

Thank you very much, there is still such a photo, if it helps to clarify.
