Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Thank you. Really very similar to Cimbex femoratus, the size also fits (20-28 mm). Thank you for your quick response.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I caught a beast today. Thought little Lazius Niger. I looked under the magnification - not an ant at all. Size 3 mm. Caught in Moscow. I searched the Internet among oss and riders, but I didn't find anything. Does anyone know the animal?

Search specifically among dryinid

Thank you. It looks like this is Mystrophorus formicaeformis from Bocchinae.

And this is also from the dryinids? About the same story-I thought it was a small lazius, but it turned out that it was something amazing at all, the size is approx. 3mm or slightly less. Very fast runner)

It is a chalcidoid from the Eupelmidae family

Judging by the identifier, this is macroneura.

Hello! Please identify a few small ones collected in the crater of the Batur o volcano.Bali 05/05/2016. The first three are Eupelmidae? Thanks!

Is this Formica rufa? Tell me please. Tatarstan, Nizhnekamsk district of okr. der. Blagodatnaya street. may 2016

There are no visible hairs, there is no full-face view, but it is still unlikely that it is rufa, which usually has a small dark spot on the top of the pronotum. So far, Formica (s. l.) sp. If you can't get more detailed photos, try to identify them yourself using Dlussky.

There is a full-face view. I didn't think to post it right away.

If the clipping on the trim didn't work out for me, then it's Formica sanguinea. The color and sculpture of the covers is also similar. And the camera still needs to be changed.

Thanks for the help.
Should I change my camera or optics?

I looked at exif, Canon EOS-1D Mark IV - wow! How can you shoot something so creepy with a camera like this? I am not an expert on DSLRs, but the combination of 1/320 shutter speed and ISO 1000, in my opinion, is not an abnormal phenomenon. What kind of optics? What kind of light?

It's all about the temporary absence of a tripod head. Light used from ordinary table lamp

Yes, it should take 100500 times better pictures with your hands. Even under a desk lamp. What kind of optics?

CANON EF 100 mm f/2.0 USM

And how is he trained to macro?

Ring flash for macro will allow you to close the maximum aperture (I have it f / 32) and set the ISO to 100. This will greatly improve the image quality. To avoid sharp shadows, it is better to attach a reflector in the form of a white bell to the ring flash. Shoot static objects from a tripod with a self-timer (12 sec timer). To make the camera shake less.
Save your photos in RAW format. Then in Photoshop, you can significantly improve the sharpness and adjust the lighting.
All this will help you significantly improve the quality of your photos.
To make sure that the Formica sanguinea image is taken, take a picture of the lower part of the platband. There should be a notch.

I have the same 100 macro fix. Indeed, it is not very convenient for them to take pictures of small objects and you will not see all the signs. Even from a tripod in daylight. Therefore, I try to do this only through optics. The quality is not very good, but you can focus on individual features.

help identify the riders. I tried to lay my eggs in the nest of the dictina spider

And if you add rings? Sometimes you look at how much money people spend on photographic equipment, getting something faintly distinguishable from shooting with a mobile phone through a lens from a laser pointer or a cheap Chinese USB microscope, and you are amazed.

Yes-Female founder

Some even wrap up two sets, or even all three. Only the aperture value will drop, but this is not critical for a dead object. Another thing is that this supposedly macro lens for a tidy sum, with a resolution that the bourgeois usually hesitate to specify. The conversation may not be serious, but I have a soap dish with a magnifying glass, the head of this ant would have turned out much better (I'll catch it - I'll demonstrate it). So, as we can see, the super-sophisticated equipment itself does not guarantee anything. But something completely already offtop went.

Some even wrap up two sets, or even all three. Only the aperture value will drop, but this is not critical for a dead object. Another thing is that this supposedly macro lens for a tidy sum, with a resolution that the bourgeois usually hesitate to specify. Alternative: macro attachment. The best alternative: a real macro lens with a normal zoom, and not this portrait camera with the word "macro", which is incomprehensibly wormed into the name. By the way, this option can be implemented for quite a penny at the expense of Soviet optics.

The conversation may not be serious, but I have a soap dish with a magnifying glass, the head of this ant would have turned out much better (I'll catch it - I'll demonstrate it). That's really enough for me, but what Radik gets for Tuev's cloud of bucks wouldn't be enough. If it wasn't still twisting around the edges - in general, as Pan Gierofis puts it, there would be a "competitor to watering cans". So, as we can see, the super-sophisticated equipment itself does not guarantee anything. But something completely offtop has already gone.

Dear experts, please tell us what kind of bee it will be made of. The photo was taken near Kirov, Kirov region, on April 8.

Friends! I would not like to be a bore, but maybe, well, clean for fun, write about the nuances of photographing and about cameras in the topic "cameras"?

And in the topic "definition of hymenoptera" write about hymenoptera?

I didn't have a chestnut tree at hand, so I just picked up a plastic bottle cap that was similar in size (the cap is also a cap in Africa) and here is the full frame when shooting at a scale of 1:1 on Canon EOS 6D+Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

Hurray!! We see the first picture from AVA , and oddly enough, it's not Oska or bug, but rather .. cap... Well, at least so.

And my cover is still cooler

Strange. What did this "beast" forget on the larch?

AVA, you put me in an awkward position: I promised not to offtopit in that topic, but I will have to, because I need to answer.
