Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Catch wasps better, bumblebees are already the best studied of all the seasons, you won't find anything new anyway. And it is possible to identify bumblebees from photos only in the case of female founders.

If I don't find anything new, then why can't anyone say anything about this last bumblebee, which I assumed was humilis? I'm not even asking for an exact definition, but just at least in principle: which of the bumblebees can look like this? And here there are two of them in the photos - a male and a worker, it seems. I looked at a lot of photos on different sites and only some humilis look similar. But here I was told that this is most likely not humilis. And if it's not him, then it means some kind of super rare.

And here's another bumblebee that I identified as a male Bombus (Psithyrus) quadricolor. Although if you look at photos on the Internet, or if you read all sorts of identifying features - it doesn't look very similar to quadricolor. Psithyrus rupestris is even less similar to the male. He doesn't look like anyone else. If someone can tell me, even if not exactly, but who can look like this in principle-I will be very grateful.

In the previous photos (where, as it were, humilis), both working individuals, the first unsuccessfully photographed, the second killed on the deaf, you can guess until you lose your pulse.
On this possibly male Bombus sylvarum

Bracon sp.?

  

True, it can be B. (Pigeria) piger Wesmael, but it doesn't have to be.

Most likely it is pigeria.

Hello!
Can I define this instance? Early May, southern Rivne region (Ostroh district), Ukraine

Good day. Please define it. Today, N. Novgorod.

April 11, 2014 Irkutsk region near Angarsk.

Figs knows what's out there under Angarsk-Maxim, au?
And here it would be the most common spring species - the female Nomada lathbyriana (Kby.)
Thanks to Timofey L. for the opr. for the reference call!))

Thank you, the view will come in handy!
I meant pimplin "in the old sense", I forgot that it was no longer "green"))

No problem. In the "green" it was the tribe Rhyssini

Most similar to the male Anthidium manicatum

Maybe I'm going to do something stupid again, like with the blacksmiths, but I think it's a female. It seems to me that males have less developed yellow spots on the first two segments. See, if possible, the platypus, the female has a developed black triangular spot, reaching or almost reaching, its anterior edge.

This is a male Anthidium manicatum. Look at the paws, and in general, the female does not look like this.

What exactly to look at on the paws, if the pubescence of the first segments, then it is quite self-contained, short felt. It looks quite like a female.

Here is my female Anthidium manicatum, my only specimen, found dead, eaten by a leatherworm larva.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch it right now, but I will be able to watch it on the weekend.
Thank you all for your help

Here is a photo of this copy.

And this other one comes out


So what does Anthidium manicatum females mean?
By the way, both have no outgrowths on the abdomen.

vafdog, if there are no outgrowths at the end of the abdomen, then females

For the last few days, I've been watching ants like this on the windowsill. About 3 mm. Geography-Kiev, 7th floor. Who is it, can they really nest in the house or somehow accidentally got there?

These are ants from the genus Tapinoma. Determining the type is very difficult. It is most reliable for males. I have never heard of these ants living in houses like Monomorium pharaonis. I think they live in a flower pot somewhere. Apparently, they got into the ground and will not move anywhere from the pot. Threats, in my opinion, do not represent.

Look again at A. Florentinum, in manicatum the spots of natergites are most often "torn".

Doesn't Anthidium florentinum have such a black spot on the trim?

About florentinum, they write that females have teeth on the abdomen (which my specimens do not have) and the platypus is completely yellow.

So you need to watch more views. If there is, look in green...

I have never seen florentiums mating in my glade (in the capital of Georgia)

I graduated from the Tbilisi Artillery School once. There was such a thing on Plekhanov. It still rings in my memory: "Shetgori Satgori Marjanishvili..." Beautiful city, nice people. Warm memories. Thank you for reminding me.

Thank you for your kind words, too.

According to the combination of signs, except for the female maniacatum, there seems to be no one else.

Thank you for your kind words, too.

Uh-huh... Once in another life, I traveled all along the coast from Gagra and Gudauta to Batumi. In Tbilisi, however, it was not possible. And I wasn't really interested in cities back then. More and more nature, mountains... What Colchis alone was worth! And Bahmaro?
PS I would like to collect all these local tsars that such a country was torn up. Put them like spiders in a jar - let them fight among themselves, and not interfere with normal people. But, unfortunately, you can't enter the same river twice.

Are you absolutely sure that the photo is Tapinoma? Today I took an ant from there and ran it through the determinant (my first experience ). It turned out to be Lasius niger. Maybe?

I, in my Chukchi naivety. I also thought it was Lasius niger. But it seems that a person who understands ants says Tapinoma....

Sandy soils, pine trees.
Without much hope. And suddenly! At least until Rod.
Like the version from teapot-Chrysis angustula?

If I understood correctly the " median field of prm. segm." then just go to manikatum
Once again thank you all for your help
