Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Ectemnius ? Crimea, 4.06

Judging by the parietal furrows, the female is Lestica.
Most likely, L. clypeata, but for a guarantee it would be good to see the muzzle of the face (more precisely, the platypus).

The plum was attacked by aphids and there is now a whole variety of different insects. But the most interesting thing is the riders. I couldn't catch a few species, but here's what I have. Sudaksky district 2.06. 2, 3 and 5 are quite numerous.

Tell me what kind of wasp (Crabronidae ?). Moscow region, June 4.

Can you tell me who it is? I flew near the nests of halicts. The flight resembles that of a calibri.

I recently came across something similar to number 4. The story is this: I was collecting twigs of meadowsweet with aphids (for food for ladybirds), and among them there was a white larva, I thought it was a fly. Then it pupated and on 27.05 this came out. Length 6.7 mm.

Today it turned out that grandfather's vintage (21! year) means colorcid from Colorado potato beetles, which was to be expected, did not work on these very beetles. In the process of "inspection", I found the rider in the process of" hitting " the larva: everything is as it should be, tapping with antennae, straddling the pest... Photo of the hero is attached...is this a common occurrence? I don't recall seeing any riders from Colorado. Length up to 7 mm

Does Gasteruption jaculator live in Crimea? and are there any similar species in Crimea?

Good evening." Please tell me the type of wasp. Its color when dried somewhat darkened. In living individuals, the stripes on the abdomen are bright yellow. It is caught on sedimentary bumpy sands, where it is often found. Likes to sit on well-warmed sun-exposed areas of sand: more often on sand emissions from rodent burrows.

I made a page like this. Definition of social wasps (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE) There will be more births in the future. - http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/determinant.html

Burrowing wasp of the genus Bembix [Crabronidae]/ Most likely, Bembix rostrata.

Aren't there any other photos of the rider?

Yes, it is very similar to Bembix rostrata. And the strongly elongated yellow upper lip covering the oral organs is clearly defined. Thank you very much for your help.

Alexander, this year we managed to catch more than a dozen Pterocheilus phaleratus in three locations. They flew both in the net and in the yellow cups.
