I'm sorry, I didn't notice South Korea at the end.

Yes, this is Vespa analis. Dark breast and propodeum are common coloration. In hornets, with rare exceptions, they are generally less colored than in other vespines.

And this is Polistes jokahamae. The length of the 1st segment of the flagellum is not important here, the shape of the latter is more important.

Thank you very much for the clarification. It's just that the local university doesn't have shark catchers, but there are some collections. Who determined it is unclear. The literature that I found is mostly in Korean

, but I can only look at pictures... Well, this is just me, as entertainment and a change of classes, when the binoculars are already a bunch of eyes. And then we had almost no summer, so at least here a little bit to make up for lost time.
This polist flew away, but I caught another smaller male - it looks like this one. There's also a yellow female, but smaller, and a couple of species of hornets, and some eumenids from the park on the local campus. Although it is warm, but there are not so many insects anymore. They are in alcohol, if I take them home, I can ask for more advice.

I was wondering what kind of hornet is such a midnight hornet (for crabro, after all, night foraging is also typical, and this one, it turns out, has passed to it completely), I was surprised that the type is indicated for the territory of the Russian Federation: http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/?url=http...ae%2FVespa.html
Is it true, or are they lying?

However, I caught them myself in the light in the Southern Primorye. True, only workers and females. But then I just didn't know what a curiosity I was facing. Otherwise, I would have caught the males and found the nests...
And the fact that it is "nocturnal" is an old assumption based on enlarged parietal eyes. They are almost like those of the truly nocturnal Provespa species. This species is not seen during daylight hours. but there is no real information about its nests and biology at all.

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...

Thank you so much for identifying such a pile! Green determinant in my opinion could be purchased somewhere in the 60s of the last century?

In any case, I've never set eyes on him! Is DV also a determinant?

I have there above in photo 1 was Scambus-Endromopoda, which for some reason lays eggs in the head of a cornflower.
In the next photo, a certain Braconidae lays eggs in the head of a thistle. Who's there, weevil larvae?

1. This one and all the others were shot in September.

2. Also some kind of Braconidae ?

3. Maybe a Bracon / Habrobracon hebetor Say ?

picture: DSCN1871_15.JPG

4. Maybe Vipio (Braconinae)?

picture: DSCN1623_17__.JPG

5. Here is interesting not only the brakon, but this beast, which is below, below the brakon! I didn't see him with my eyes, only in the photo. Who is this, some Chalcidoidea?

6. A large rider, maybe Dolichomitus imperator ?

picture: DSC_7174_15__.JPG

7. I assume that Ichneumoninae? Or Cryptinae?

8. This small rider turned out to be very big-eyed and cowardly. I chased him for 10 minutes, but I couldn't get closer than 3 meters to him!

Define is identify up to the species level, so not much at all.
"Green" (Opr-l insects of the European part of the USSR Vol. III part 3) 1981 issue is in electronic form in the plantago library, Far Eastern is on the Zinovsky website

I don't know much about braconids.
6. You were given this emperor... Well, why, as Dolichomitus, so immediately imperator? You can see the name

, there are plenty of other species there, including no less large ones. As I have already mentioned, they cannot be identified from the photo, with rare exceptions; you need to look at the top of the ovipositor with denticles.
7. Cryptinae, possibly Ischnus inquisitorius. As a rule, ichneumonins have a short ovipositor, which does not protrude so much beyond the abdomen. In general, you need to look at the first tergite and the presence of sternaul on mesopleurae
8. Pimplinae is something southern, we do not have such plants in the north. It was necessary - in a net, and then for identification

Now I don't remember if Theronia atalantae has such a pattern on the mesoscutum?..

Hello!
Please help me identify the insect. I myself am an amateur beekeeper and this year I noticed an interesting insect (is it an enemy of bees?). I've been paying attention to insects all my life, but this is the first time I've seen this in our area.
The photo was taken in mid-August 2015, in the floodplain of the Northern Dvina River at 64.33 degrees north latitude. I took a photo on my phone, but there was no normal device at hand. Circumstances of the shooting: built a large barn, planed a lot of pine and spruce boards. Woodcutter beetles and these insects flocked to the aroma of wood.

this is Urocerus gigas, it is an enemy of pine logs in which their larvae live

all - D. New items-Begichevo, Serpukhov district, Moscow region.

26. Diapriidae
27. Braconidae
28. galictus is already defined by Alexey
29. Tenthredo, in my
opinion 30 Ophion sp.
31. It is not clear, apparently, some male from Tryphoninae-Ctenopelmatinae-also the angle is not a fountain. Here, for example, ophion has the first presented angle is bad to determine, and the second is good, which really did not help it to be determined

, But this is so, wishes for the future
32. Tenthredinidae
33. Cryptinae
34. Astiphromma sp. (Mesochorinae) is a secondary parasite

PS for all these groups, such an exact reference does not make much sense, since the fauna is very poorly studied and the ranges are not defined

, it would be enough for MO, but it is better to over-than under-study...
