Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Is it possible to identify this ant?

Mediterranean Sea, Balearic
Islands, Mallorca Island Body length 3.5 mm

I'm not good at foreign ants. In this case, I can't say anything for sure. And purely externally similar to Linepithema humile. If I'm right, you've got one of the worst invasive ants ever.

Yes, it is quite possible. It is found on the Balearic Islands. And it was most likely collected in a hotel or nearby, which increases the chances.

I don't understand anything about ants at all, I had to run into a couple of them, help me. Myrmica sp
is about 5 mm. The handle of the mustache is not curved, without sharp kinks. The trim is blunted. The frontal ridges do not turn into a wrinkle at the back. Wrinkles on the head are longitudinal.
The thorn on einotum is quite long.
bergi Ruzsky, 1902 ?????

more difficult with this he has a mace us. 3-x chl. something from Leptothorax? muscorum, just over 3 mm.

Most likely Myrmica ruginodis. To confirm or refute this assumption, you need to look at the antennal pits.

more difficult with this he has a mace us. 3-x chl. something from Leptothorax? muscorum, just over 3 mm.

With lepto-temnothorax, I pass. Especially for females. There are dozens of them, and I've only seen 2 of them live. Unfortunately, I can't help you. The probability of an error is too high.

C I pass. Especially for females. There are dozens of them, and I've only seen 2 of them live. Unfortunately, I can't help you. The probability of an error is too high.

Judging by your website, it is indeed Myrmica ruginodis Nylander, 1846, and the wrinkles that are bent outwards are clearly visible.
and for lepto-temnothorax where to look? I understand that on your site you can not even try to determine them at all???

If you determine by working individuals, then first you can go to my site. There are the most common types. For females (in the photo, as I understand it, a female) - do not try.
You can try to go through the Radchenko determinant. It is available on my website:
http://www.antvid.org/PDF/Lit/Lepto.pdf
But you need to keep in mind: 1) that this determinant is based on working individuals. 2) Most of the species with 12-jointed antennae listed in the guide are now transferred to the genus Temnothorax.

I understand that this is also deaf? 12 chl. us. 3-chl. Temnothorax mace?
7-8 mm

I understand that this is also deaf? 12 chl. us. 3-chl. Temnothorax mace?
7-8 mm

7-8 mm is too much for a female temnothorax. This is most likely a female tetramorium. But not Tetramorium caespitum. The chest is too flat on top. I think it's some other kind.
Here on my website Radchenko's work on tetras:
http://www.antvid.org/PDF/Lit/Tetro.pdf
Maybe it will help. Moreover, it is better to understand the species belonging of tetramoriums just by females. I will also try using your photos, but later. When time permits.

Something like Evylaeus calceatus / albipes.In the middle zone, these two types are common. Some consider Evylaeus to be a subgenus in the genus Lasioglossum. If you search on the web, see both options.

Xiphydria prolongata, male and female

In my unprofessional opinion, this is definitely Philanthus sp.
And if you Google it, it looks like it turns out to be Ph. diadema

This is a female of the Mediterranean and North African subspecies of the bee wolf-Philanthus triangulum abdelcader Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845.
The subspecies Philanthus triangulum diadema (Fabricius, 1781) is distributed in South Africa.

It doesn't look like B. lapidarius, and it doesn't look like B. pascuorum either.

Hello! Yesterday, February 23, parasites emerged in a Petri dish from Gall molokan. The galls were collected in August 2014, one was opened, and there were larvae inside. Closed again, taped up. Kept it in the dark. The parasites hatched when they were brought out into the light. I don't open the lid yet, so the photo is upside down. Thanks!

Hi! Of course, this angle is not enough, you need normal photos from above and from the side, but most likely it's nuts (Cynipidae)

June 20. Trichiosoma vitellina?


May 29. Trichiosoma sylvaticum?

1-Trichiosoma aenescens Gussakovskij, 1947, one of the very few representatives of this genus, which is well defined even by its appearance. The abdomen is usually entirely red except for the first 2-3 segments, in males the dark pattern may be completely absent, in females it is usually more developed. One of the most noticeable differences from other "hairy" ones is that the dark areas on the abdomen and partially on the chest always have a very noticeable bronze tint. In the photo just a male with the most typical color.
2-Most likely Trichiosoma lucorum (Linnaeus, 1758) - completely black and fluffy. At least of the similar species, it is the most common.

PS: In T. vitellina, the abdomen is painted black on top, except for narrow stripes on the sides and the last 2-3 segments (including in males). Females of T. sylvaticum are similar in color to T. vitellina, and males to T. aenescens... Such is the story

351-Gilpinia sp.
368 - Calameuta filiformis (Eversmann, 1847)
