Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

What kind of camponotus? Cambodia.

Good afternoon, Vasily! Glad to see you on this site. Nice catch. I'm afraid there are no experts on Cambodian camponotuses here.

Good afternoon! Please help me identify the bees at least before giving birth! All but 3 are from the Pushkinsky district of the Moscow Region.

3. Moscow, April 27.

Lasioglossum?

Apis mellifera?

What other options are available?

Ammophila sabulosa?

No, judging by the bare dorsal field of the propodeum, it is Ammophila campestris

Good afternoon!

Please tell me the definition of this wasp.

Ukraine; Chernihiv region; Srebnyansky district; outskirts of Gurbentsy village; Lobodernoye district

 

Thank you in advance!

100% male Cerceris sp. [Crabronidae]
But to accurately determine the species, you need to see not so much the face as the sculpture of the dorsal field of the propodeum, the shape and pubescence of the last and penultimate sternites of the abdomen, as well as the shape and pubescence of the bottom of the apical segments of the antennae.
In my opinion, 70% is Cerceris arenaria.

What other options are available?

I didn't find any other options, but since I've never been a specialist and made mistakes more than once, I decided to make sure on the forum. And I was confused by the dark color of the abdomen and the fact that I spent the night on a flower.

Please see URL #5596

Here is such a rider.

Emerged from a cocoon collected in June 2014, Southern Urals, Iremel district








fas =)

Who's this?" ) In general, I did not see such things before, it looks more like a fly than a wasp by its behavior on flowers) Clearly something from krabronidae, like bembix, but it does not look like a nosey one in the pictures..
Who is it?

Bembix oculata, won't work?

Well, it seems like there is very little information about this eyepiece, even in the English segment,
by the way, this wasp is quite large, almost up to 3 cm.

Help me identify the animal.

2008 Kuskovsky Park, Moscow







2008. Moscow region, Elektrougli

About 7-8 mm. Without obvious teeth on the sides, at the top it is quite strongly cut, with a small notch. The 3rd part of the mustache is slightly indented from below without any special teeth. Pronotum with sharp teeth on the sides. The front part of the mid-spine is as if in cells. Sredninnoe field with clear diagonal oblique grooves. The vertical part is almost flat with weak horizontal grooves. Lower edge of the front thighs with a blunt protrusion. The first tergite with a weak dotted line. Yellow spots from the sides on 2-5 tergites. I believe it is a male Ectemnius rubicola

The specimen is similar to Ectemnius rubicola, in particular it has a prong on the inner side of the mandibles, and the lower edge of the front thighs protrudes angularly. but there are a number of differences. The platypus is more elongated at the top with a longer protrusion. The 3rd part of the mustache is almost not cut out, but the 6th part is notched. The sides of the prothorax are without sharp elongated denticles, but with clear angles. Anterior part of the mid-spine in transverse wrinkles. Median field and vertical line. part in rough cellular folds. On the abdomen on the 2nd and 4th yellow spots, on the 5th spots are noticeably smaller.

Good evening! Please help me identify the OS! Yaroslavl region, Uglich, August 1.

Help me identify the animal.

2008 Kuskovsky Park, Moscow

The second is Polistes dominula, the third is Vespula germanica.

Good evening! Please help me identify the OS! Yaroslavl region, Uglich, August 1.

Vespula vulgaris, apparently.

The second is Polistes dominula, the third is Vespula germanica.

Thank you.
Is it possible to identify something orange?

The second is Polistes dominula, the third is Vespula germanica.

It seems that germanic is the second after orange, and polist is the third on the flower.

And Germanica, that very ordinary wasp of ours?

on the rider in any way?..

Thank you.

With an instance, you could try it. This is a sawfly that resembles Athalia rosae, but it is a finger to the sky.

And the last one that looks like a rider, too, will not succeed?

Vespula germanica is one of our common public wasps. In my opinion, all social wasps of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula fall under the concept of "ordinary". Perhaps even hornets. These wasps are numerous, often found and live everywhere except in the northern regions. You can view this gallery here:

Yes, of course, I made a typo, Vespula germanica-after the sawfly, that is, the second, and Polistes dominula - on the inflorescence of Cirsium arvense s. l.

on the rider in any way?..

Ichneumonidae, and apparently a sub-family. Ichneumoninae, if that helps you.

Here is such a rider.

This is Pimpla sp. (Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae), further on these photos in any way

And the last one that looks like a rider, too, will not succeed?

Rider from sem. Ichneumonidae, a subfamily. Ichneumoninae - will it really help?

And the red sawfly is most likely really Athalia rosae

Thanks!

say what you need - I'll shoot it. copy on hand, equipment like b is available (I hope it will be enough =)

I didn't find any other options, but since I've never been a specialist and made mistakes more than once, I decided to make sure on the forum. And I was confused by the dark color of the abdomen and the fact that I spent the night on a flower.

And there is nothing surprising that they did not find it.
The strongly elongated marginal (= radial) cell of the forewing that is clearly visible in your images (this is the one located at the very front edge of the wing outside of the pterostigma) immediately clearly indicates the genus Apis. In total, it has just over half a dozen species in the world's fauna, and only two in Russia. In the south of the Far East, the "wild" Apis cerana is found, but only Apis mellifera is found throughout Russia. So there is no one to confuse it with.
Further, the color of the abdomen is not a very reliable sign in this species. Although beekeepers sometimes distinguish" breeds " of honey bees with a red-brown base of the abdomen, then with a dark one. In fact, this sign can "walk" even within the same family.
As for spending the night on a flower, this is already a sad diagnosis - this individual, obviously, has lived its life almost completely...

About 7-8 mm. Without obvious teeth on the sides, at the top it is quite strongly cut, with a small notch. The 3rd part of the mustache is slightly indented from below without any special teeth. Pronotum with sharp teeth on the sides. The front part of the mid-spine is as if in cells. Sredninnoe field with clear diagonal oblique grooves.

Yellow spots from the sides on 2-5 tergites. I believe it is a male Ectemnius rubicola

No, this is a male Ectemnius dives.
Carefully check the upper part of the forehead for any transverse ribs.
By the way, representatives of the Hypocrabo subgenus, which also includes E. rubicola, are characterized by a noticeably smaller size of light spots on the 3rd tergite of the abdomen in comparison with spots on the 2nd and 4th tergites. But even more common is their complete absence.

The specimen is similar to Ectemnius rubicola, in particular it has a prong on the inner side of the mandibles, and the lower edge of the front thighs protrudes angularly. but there are a number of differences. The platypus is more elongated at the top with a longer protrusion. The 3rd part of the mustache is almost not cut out, but the 6th part is notched.

No, not just "similar", but just like Ectemnius rubicola.

Hello! Help me identify the insect by its description (it's a pity I didn't have a camera with me!) It is huge (about 5 - 6 cm) sitting on the trunk of a tree in the city park. It looks like a hornet or a wasp or a fly. But! It is all dark, almost black with no yellow spots or orange snout, like hornets, the wings are translucent, slightly brown. The body is almost smooth, slender, elongated, not rounded. There are sparse hairs on the back and abdomen, paws with clearly visible joints, smooth black, a black stinger in front. The fact is that I saw it in the Ivanovo region in June 2014. I come from there and in my childhood I never saw such giant insects. Tell me, is it dangerous for children and adults? I tried to get the child away from this tree, and if it attacked and stung. CAN YOU TELL ME WHO THIS GIANT IS? I DIDN'T FIND ANY SIMILAR PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET!

Slobodskoy district of the Kirov region. August 7.
Size 7-8 mm.
There is a version, but I will not voice it yet, so as not to confuse experts from the right path.
