Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

I would love to, but I don't have a camera, I can take a video)

I was sorting through the photos and came across this picture. Mordovia, 17,06,2013. Tell me what kind of view.

Ancistrocerus, female. There are not enough angles to the view, if it was in the Crimea, I would say that it is A. antilope, since other species in our country have a different color. But in Mordovia, they can also be colored darker, like this instance.

The video will not work, you need good quality, a snapshot of the general view of both oss from the side and the male's head from the front.

We have, in fact, 5 species (reliably registered):
Ancistrocerus antilope, A. gazella, A. nigricornis, A. parietum и A. trifasciatus. Who can be other than antilope?

Here, I hope you can see everything you need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNiucIn3lYA&feature=youtu.be

It was a pair of A. trifasciatus, the male looks quite normal, see fig. http://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id224174/
But in A. parietinus it is not so.

I don't understand what kind of species is Sceliphron curvatum ? or someone else, the color of the legs knocks down

and with this one, even the gender can't be determined

Come on...
This is a female Liris niger [Crabronidae]

Xylocopa latipes (Drury, 1773)was recognized by the great black bees
For small ones, I have no idea...
Maybe someone is interested, I can change to butterflies. I'm in Moscow, there's no forwarding.

Bottom row (left):
Polistes sp. 1-female
Polistes sp. 2-female
Vespa velutina-female (there are several subspecies, but the definition from the photo is doubtful. Possibly V. velutina ardens)
Vespa crabro-female
Polistes sp. 2-male
Photos are usually not sufficient to identify oriental polistes.

Question!!! Are you sure about the collection location of the 4th instance on the left?

is it Polistes nympha?

Krasnoyarsk, the bank of the reservoir. about 15 mm. is it Dolichovespula saxonica?

Krasnoyarsk, ostepnenny meadow, when mowing. About 12 mm in size. Is this a male Eumenes coronatus? Hind legs are almost without dark spots, light red, with a small black spot near the apex. The front basins are covered with long light hairs. 2nd sternite without long hairs. 1 and 2 tergites with raised hairs. There are no long hairs on the trim, but they may have just worn off…

I can't say for sure yet, but I doubt it's E. coronatus. I'll try to look in the collections, it seems that there were similar ones from your edges.

Alexander, can you say something about the first Ectemnius?

Yes, I forgot to write it. The 4th specimen on the left (a female hornet) was caught in the Moscow region.

I can't say for sure yet, but I doubt it's E. coronatus. I'll try to look in the collections, it seems that there were similar ones from your edges.

Yes, I already saw that it wasn't him. Still, there are hairs raised on the 2nd stubble, they are smaller than in coronatus, but longer than in coarctatus, I found two pieces of the second type, they are smaller, there are spots on the sides of the 2nd tertite. The platypus is similar in shape, but the first member of this specimen is completely black, while the previously defined coarctatus has a bright yellow front.

what are the clear differences between Ancistrocerus trifasciatus and ichneumonideus? I gathered them in a pile. I look at it, but I can't understand it...I found one with a clear rounded second sternite and a longer second segment of the abdomen, as well as individuals with a flat 2nd sternite and a shorter 2nd segment of the abdomen. Are there any individuals that have both these and other signs that you should pay more attention to? on the color or still the shape and ratio of the segments of the abdomen ?

Of course, the shape is more important than the color. But we need to look, maybe it's something else altogether. There is a good site, here - http://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id224167/

Well, I think you can handle it

I found a male similar to eumenes from the Irkust region in my collection, in my opinion, both he and yours are E. glacialis. Mine differs only in a longer frontal spot and the fact that the last three segments of the antennae are red. But these are not specific features.

Krasnoyarsk. approx. 9 mm. Female Symmorphus. Front vertical. part of the 1st seed of the abdomen is clearly smaller than its horizontal one. part. Top in rough spots, the edges of the horizon. the parts are evenly narrowed to the base, slightly expanded at the top. Sides of the gap. there is no sharp raised edge, there are only wrinkles. There are no yellow stripes on the 3rd tergite. In general, there are few yellow spots on the body. The legs are mostly black, and the legs are also almost completely black. The sides of the mid-chest are shiny, with occasional rough spots. The front edges of the pronotum are pointed in the form of teeth. The hairs on the body are quite long. By default. I'm going out on S. mutiensis (=sinuatus). By DV on S. angustatus

Yes, I first went to the DV to see this view, but I was confused by the shape of the spot on the forehead, mine is clearly rounded, even in coarctatus it is slightly more protruding forward.

Well, we can't just pick out a new species based on a spot, and it doesn't fit the others. In a good way, you need to look at the genitals, but I haven't figured them out yet.
