I don't know, maybe it will help, I replaced the head shot of scolia with another one.

04.07.2006 18:38, Tigran Oganesov

2 sealor
Count the number of segments in the mustache.

04.07.2006 19:11, sealor

12 segments.

Family Vespidae (Fold-winged wasps). The view is difficult to determine, it would be necessary to take a closer look at the wasp. It may well be Vespula germanica.

Thanks! Interestingly, this afternoon I found a scoop of Plusia festucae, and finally I seem to have found an individual of unknown scolia of the opposite sex. She's in the picture. Similar to Scolia histrionica.

Another photo shoot with a certain perepon (he will laugh, but again I think it's a wasp). The pictures show how she (he?) drags the caterpillar-victim into the hole.

Ammophila or something similar. Indeed, from the family of burrowing wasps (Sphecidae). The caterpillar (I think some kind of scoops) is paralyzed, an egg will be laid on it in the burrow, and the wasp larva will gradually eat it.

Ammophila no questions asked. Where was it taken?

Same place as the previous frames. Karelian Isthmus near the border with Karelia proper.
Then it may well be A. campestris

I removed some unusual epaulettes.
Small 0.8-1 cm. Help me determine it. Astrakhan region.

1. German female (family Mutillidae), wingless female. They have a very long sting.
2. Fold-winged wasp from the subfamily Eumeninae, genus possibly Eumenes

This is undoubtedly the Saxon wasp Dolichovespula saxonica. As for V. germanica, with which it was confused, it belongs in general to a different genus, and in our conditions, in the vast majority of cases, colonies are arranged in the soil. Both species belong to the subfamily Vespinae of the family , as already correctly identified, Vespidae.

A few rules:
Brown-colored nest wasps
have a spot on their forehead
in the form of a black planetoid on a yellow background, fused with spots on the sides,and brace a kind of crown
more often they nest in shelters

and these wasps are smaller than their cousins Vespula vulgaris, although the uterus is much larger, and the spot on the forehead is impressive, you are absolutely right about the Saxon wasp, it has the longest jaws relative to the skull in the whole family

I mentioned the rules for vespula germanica, we have a lot of them

15.07.2006 19:37, vespabellicosus

Interesting information about germanics - in our area, their nests are gray. And the ordinary one, on the contrary, is brownish-yellow in color.

15.07.2006 21:36, Охотник за осами

on the contrary, germanica, those wasps with a spot on their foreheads never make gray nests,only those with a pure yellow forehead

15.07.2006 21:38, Охотник за осами

by the way, it is interesting that the sexual apparatus is absolutely the same in wasps and bumblebees(males), but in bee drones it is unique, not like anyone else's

Help me identify it. A large wasp. Astrakhan region.

P_1070922.jpg -burrowing wasp (family Sphecidae) from the genus Bembex (possibly B. rostrata). She arrived not with a bee, but with a bee fly (Eristalis) - this wasp feeds the larvae with flies.

Not drones? The antennae are too long, the tail is too large, and there are no collection baskets on the hind legs.

28.07.2006 19:27, vespabellicosus

These are the males of some solitary bee. I can't say what kind exactly.

28.07.2006 19:37, andr_mih

Eucera sp. the first thing that comes to mind. Unih and females with the same sawyere

28.07.2006 19:38, sealor

Chromocenter, don't drone it. Drones never hunt flowers at all. They roam the hives and watch the females high in the air.
This is probably Eucera longicornis.

"Drones never hunt flowers at all. They roam the hives and watch the females high in the air."
From the reptiles!.. I thought they would sometimes, for the sake of decency, peck on flowers... (suck), but, however, they, unlike lions, end badly...

31.07.2006 17:02, Tigran Oganesov

If Eucera, then also drones (males), because females have normal whiskers.

on the account of the fact that drones do not visit flowers, you are only 10% correct,all single bees and bumblebees have males visiting flowers, otherwise what would they eat,they have baskets, but not to collect pollen, to attract females, visiting flowers, they absorb odors, and how men attract smell with cologne girls

04.08.2006 15:16, daniil naumoff

There are several other pictures of the same animal. If it helps in determining the location, then I can post the rest, but it seems to me that this picture is of fairly good quality.

04.08.2006 15:16, Охотник за осами

only in the honey bee, drones do not visit flowers,they do not need to, they are "disposable" like Durex, and they also feed on honey in the nest, but bumblebees, wasps, single wasps and male bees, they are vagabonds, leaving the nest forever they fly and feed on flower nectar, I have caught bumblebee drones many times on flowers that fed on nectar, so did males

04.08.2006 15:42, Chromocenter

A wasp hunter, in my first post on this topic, I had a honey bee in mind, I thought it was her. (it once seemed to me that the word "drones" only applies to them) But in general, it turns out that only those who have large nests can afford to keep drones as well. So, probably, drones, it turns out more...

04.08.2006 16:12, Bad Den

Some kind of bee, from sem. Megachilidae most likely

04.08.2006 17:06, daniil naumoff

is it an adult?

04.08.2006 17:20, Chromocenter

The larva of a bee hardly resembles an insect...

04.08.2006 17:20, sealor

I am of the opinion that it is advisable to call only male honeybees drones, and I have never seen a male bumblebee or single bee or wasp called a drone anywhere in the literature.
Yes, and the folklore meaning is distorted, the drone is the one who cannot get food for himself.
Male bumblebees on flowers are a common occurrence, but I have not seen any male wasps feeding anywhere outside the nest. Very interesting question!
Do you have any data on this?

04.08.2006 17:39, daniil naumoff

just in my inexperienced opinion, this animal's wings are underdeveloped...

04.08.2006 19:44, Bad Den

This is a fully grown female bee:)
