Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

As for Eumenides, if it helps, I'll put her on the trail.do you want more detailed photos, if of course it will clarify the situation?

Alexander, thank you for your answer. I'll ask Maxim tomorrow, in person

my net is made out of a lawn tennis racket. The rim is covered with a strong fabric, so I mowed for two years and still works, as well as catch everything that flies. Of course, it's inconvenient because of the small handle, but I learned to sneak up on animals with vertuozno.
In general, quite easily halikodomy flew into the net, he was surprised. I brushed them away, didn't cover them, and went in from the head of a sitting bee and into the opposite passage. It was more difficult to chase pompils and various crabronids that were scurrying along the road, that's where agility was needed. In fact, each copy was given with a fight
I put a couple of hundred yellow cups there, but I didn't get any halicodomes, although there were a lot of them there.

here's the place where the halicodomes were running around. Left on the embankment and right on the steps. A couple were caught in the net right on the fly.

This is an absolutely sure way to catch these bees! It is better, of course, to find a colony, but this is not always possible.

I took a photo on my phone.
1. Here are the males, maybe from these photos you can already tell what kind of species, I have no qualifiers at hand or will increase.techniques. Well, I think that the view is new for our region.
Alexey, by the way, there are two shiny leaf beetles from below, such as I saw only from Tuva, I came across when mowing, a settled meadow, although it is difficult to say on what.
2. here is their parasite-Leucospis (photographed from the side), perhaps before the view I will also be answered by the people
3. and here is vespina in the center of something from Eumenidae

Males do not land at all, but fly at high speed. Don't catch it and that's it

Stinging eardrums. leaf eaters, nutcrackers and all the rest are also sirfids....
Have you finally decided to finish me off? Turn out...I choked on my saliva with envy.....
Everything I collect, too.

on serfids by the way,

It's an interesting little animal; the belly is compressed from the sides, as if ironed.
Length 17 mm. Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region, June 25.?

Let us know the result later, because it's interesting.

Arthur, what's wrong with Megarhyssa rixator? The proportions of the ovipositor to the length of the body vary greatly.

Help with the rider.
Volgograd region, floodplain oak grove. 08.05.2011 on the oak tree.

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

Thank you very much! Can anyone tell me what kind of rider I have just above in photo 13 ?
Also, please help me identify the next riders. They were filmed in the vicinity of Penza in September and October.
1. Can this one be a Bracon ? Or an Ophion rider ? I don't remember the exact size, somewhere from 10 to 25 mm.

[attachmentid()=195788]
2. Perhaps Ichneumon suspiciosus ? Filmed in August.

[attachmentid()=195789]
[attachmentid()=195790]
[attachmentid()=195791]
3. This one is about 20 mm, the first segments of the abdomen seem to be reddish

[attachmentid()=195792]
[attachmentid()=195793]
4. Large, at least 30 mm without ovipositor and whiskers, can be Ephialtes manifestator ?

[attachmentid()=195796]
[attachmentid()=195797]
5. This one is much smaller, the body is no more than 20 mm.

[attachmentid()=195798]
6. About the same.

[attachmentid()=195799]
7. This male is small. The width of the leaves of this herb is probably no more than 5 mm.

[attachmentid ()=195800]
Thank you in advance!

Good evening .
Is it possible to determine the OS from these photos ?
Germany, 2012, July deciduous forest, on my head

Wasp-shiny, alas, the wrong angles were taken , you need the tip of the belly and wing.
I can assume you have Trichrysis cyanea (Linnaeus, 1758)

is this normal ?

Yes, thank you it's her

Sphex funerarius female
