Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Weighty signs, as I understand it, there are others there, and this is only what is noticeable in medium-quality photos and in my lousy cloudy binoculars.

I was also confused by the gender issue. It seems purely in appearance, the antennae are like a female, and if you count the number of segments, then it seems to be a male. Although I was constantly getting lost

Many thanks to everyone! So I also counted here, but I don't know - is the first long segment one big or four small? I took it for one. I think there is another very short one in front of it, but I don't understand exactly.





1. This is probably some kind of Andrena. Judging by the very long whiskers, it's probably a male, and judging by the thickness of the abdomen, it looks like a female. Taken in July.






2. Probably a female andrena? This one is from April.





3. This one has an almost pubescent abdomen. Rather large, slightly smaller than the honey Apis mellifera. This one is from July.






4. ??? August 2.

Thank you, Lord! And then I almost doubted the adequacy of apidologists...

The large 1st segment (also known as the scapus) is one, and at the base of it there is an articular extension. It enters the antennal fossa and is like a hinge that ensures the mobility of the entire antenna.
1. This is indeed a male. NOT Andrena.
2. And this is Andrena.
3. This is the usual Apis mellifera. Well, thoroughly elderly, what can you do...
4. This is also Andrena.

Thanks!

But this one, which was already above, is definitely Antophora, and not Amegilla ?

Habitually similar to Anthophora bimaculata, definitely not Amegilla (they do not have this color).

 
2. And this is Andrena.
4. This is also Andrena.

2. Rather Colletes cunicularius
4. Andrena denticulata. In August on compound flowers exactly it

Surroundings of Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov region. September 8.
Peat bog. This small wasp came out of a hole in a dead birch tree.
Crabronidae?



P.S. On the same day, I also met another similar one there:

Ants of the genus Formica. If you can see a large "face" in full face and chest in profile (so that the hairs can be seen) - I can try to determine more precisely.

I think it's Formica rufibarbis.
It's a little disconcerting that the last photo seems to have a notch on the lower edge of the trim, like Formica sanguinea, but I don't think so. The body and head shapes are not similar to Formica sanguinea. Most likely, this is either the light is so light, or parts of the oral organs protrude from the bottom of the platband.
Moreover, in the blurry photo above, the lower edge of the trim is even. If we assume that there is no recess , then this is a subgenus of serviformics. From serviformics with spaced hairs on the epinotum and stalk for the Southern Urals, in my opinion, only Formica rufibarbis is suitable. Something like that.

Hello! In a cup with galls on tansy collected on 21/08/2015 in Saratov, a community of parasites came out (gall also came out). Please help me with the definition. Thanks!

Clarification, the last two photos are sem. Torymidae IMG_6785. IMG_6789

Like Lasioglossum males.
But they usually appear later

They came out rather crowded, and then just as suddenly disappeared. How much later were they supposed to appear?.. Is there a correction for the region?

Here again is the male who was taller. If it's not Andrena, then maybe Eucera ?

We usually have it from August to October. They fly to the last. In autumn, it is usually on pre-flowering sow thistles and other bodyakah

Here again is the male who was taller. If it's not Andrena, then maybe Eucera ?

Not Eucera. Eucera has two radiomedial cells, and in the photo there are three.
More likely Tetralonia. Like on mallow flowers?

Yes, it's some kind of hollyhock. Low in comparison with the cultivated mallow.

At a glance, I can't remember, but some Ttetralonia malvovye love.
And on the table right now are three boxes of andrenes

Riders are particularly difficult for me. I don't understand the difference between the subfamilies Cryptinae, Banchinae, Ichneumoninae, and Pimplinae. I also don't understand the difference between Ctenopelmatinae, Ophioninae and Tryphoninae. Poachers probably also have subfamilies and genera.
Please help me with the riders taken somewhere between July 20 and August 20, Penza region.

Please help me with the riders taken somewhere between July 20 and August 20, Penza region.

This is a very long explanation, and it is easier to refer it to the definition of subfamilies of ichneumonids, given in both the "green" definition and the po DV... In green, 26 subfamilies are listed, although after that pimplin was split up, and most of the microleptins were transferred to orthocentin and oxy-torin was isolated, although not all of these changes are reflected in the DW...
But in general, all the key signs are indicated there, although in my opinion it is impossible to learn how to navigate this right away, you need practice by definition and not a small one, until something settles down properly in your head. The most difficult thing is probably to distinguish between kryptin and ichneumonin from Phaeogenini.
In the braconids, of course, all species are also united by genera, tribes, and subfamilies, and their number is not much less.
Many pimplins have a characteristic pungent smell - in the net it becomes immediately clear who is caught there
Now from the photo. I will say right away that a lot of things are determined, without seeing diagnostic signs, on the basis of some experience, what it should look like... For many images, it is impossible to say anything at all in principle. Maybe I can clarify something later when I get home to the collections, if I have time for that.

1, 13. Something from Scambus-Endromopoda (Pimplinae)
2. Ichneumon sp. (Ichneumoninae )
3. Lissonota sp. (Banchinae)
4. Banchinae
5. Banchinae - Pimplinae ? unclear
6. Netelia sp. - there may be different types
of 7. Ctenopelmatinae
8. Cryptinae
9. Ichneumoninae
10. Coelichneumon deliratorius (Ichneumoninae)
11. Tenthredinidae. In order not to confuse real sawflies with riders, remember that first of all you need to look at the number of segments in the antennae - the latter almost always have more than 12 in the flagellum, and also sawflies have a large rectangular head, a sessile abdomen and a saw-shaped ovipositor.
12. Nematopodius formosus (Cryptinae)
14. ?Lissonota sp. (Banchinae)
15. most likely, Coelichneumon leucocerus (Ichneumoninae)
16. Ichneumoninae
17. Braconidae
18. Atanycolus sp. (Braconidae, Braconinae)

The photos are cool - I'm just jealous, for some reason I can't do it that way
Probably the hands are not properly attached...

Well, I have a question.
Is this Vespa analis? Some kind of mesosome is completely dark.


And this is Oreumenes decoratus, isn't it? There doesn't seem to be anyone to confuse it with.


And who is in this photo? The 1st segment of the flagellum is very long, is it only in males?

All - Yu. Korea, September-October of this year

Another beast - Scolia oculata?

And the rest of the wasps - the pictures are completely obscene, Makrik did not take them, and the whale lens does not work well, especially in my hands.

And who is in this photo? The 1st segment of the flagellum is very long, is it only in males?

Polistes (Megapolistes) cf. jokahamae. Hefty? Yes, in males, this segment will be more authentic:



But they do not seem to have a" grasping device " at the end, unlike our Polistes s. str.

Of course, it will help, thank you very much!
You haven't seen my first photos, you can't look at them without tears, and even now more than half of them go to the trash...

Perhaps I just didn't find any clear photos for this type (not to mention the subspecies). And for P. jokahamae (=jadwigae), they are a dime a dozen. For example, here-one to one with your:



But that's why cf is there. Compare for yourself, decide for yourself. Given their intraspecific variability, this is not an easy task. Maybe AVA can help.
