Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

to Dinusik
, your rider will probably be from the triphoninae-from the genus Netelia (Ichneumonidae, Tryphoninae, Phytodietini). I won't say anything about the species, but the definition is quite complex there, using genital structures. N. japonica

I once saw the range of this wasp on a map with state borders. It wasn't on that map in Kazakhstan. I was very surprised, as I myself fished in Turkmenistan not so far from the Kazakh border. That's why I remember it.
However, now the boundaries of the habitat of many insects are shifting to the north.

Yes, the climate is changing before our eyes. Take at least our current summer, which can't even be called a summer, and the abnormal heat in Kazakhstan...
I looked at the map. I was a little optimistic about a few hundred kilometers. from the northern border of the range. Two hundred at most.
If you'd like, we can cross paths to talk in more detail...

Please help me identify the sawfly and sphecida. Both are from the vicinity of Khabarovsk. The body length of the burrowing wasp is 14 mm, and that of the sawfly is 21 mm.

I declare with all responsibility - this is not a sphecida, but rather really a pompilida

I admit that I made a mistake with the family

I admit I made a mistake with the family

I tried to identify the DV on the fly using the Insect Detector, but nothing came of it. It is necessary to consider from all sides-and the bottom, and the head in front and ... and.... and...
If you look at the collections I have from the European part of the country, it resembles the genus Batozonellus. But this is definitely not him and not a representative of the genus Parabatozonus.
I give up. It is necessary to attract specialists in stinging eardrums to the forum. And then in butterflies and ground beetles all experts, and caught a small and beautiful wasp-there is no one to tell.

This is because quail detection is much more difficult than day butterflies

Thank you all so much for your sincere desire to help! Yesterday I sent a photo of this pompilida (from three sides) to Arkady Stepanovich Lelei, he replied that it was a male Batozonellus lacerticida (Pallas )

Primorye: sat on the window, so the photo is only from the bottom and side. Large (about 25 mm long)

So it's still Batozonellus lacerticida. I was confused by the color - I have in the collections from European Russia, this species is represented quite well, but I have never seen such a color. Very little yellow color. So I thought it was a related species. We'll know.

and for some reason, such a large subfamily doesn't attract anyone else... Maybe the Chinese will be honored...

Well, Alexander Tereshkin works and others

Taken near Volgograd. Ichneumonida in March, and another membrane the other day-they are just being bred, yesterday I watched them gnaw their way out of a dead birch tree.

Well, Alexander Tereshkin works and others

Of course, I know about Tereshkin, but he mostly works in Belarus, and I was referring to the East Palaearctic fauna, where Heinrich the foreigner managed to shine more light
V. Gokhman is engaged in Phaeogenini, but now he is also working more and more on molecules and chromosomes...
And Stenopneusticae beyond the Urals somehow remains unattended

The first photo shows a rider from sem. Braconidae (not ichneumonidae, as can be easily seen by the wing venation)
On the second - male horntail Tremex fuscicornis F.

The 4th photo is a burrowing wasp from the genus Tachytes. I would venture to assume that this is Tachytes obsoletus Russi

In the photo, 3 wasps survived. And again it reminds me of the already tired Batozonellus laterticida

I will be very happy to know who I photographed. Thank you in advance.

No, this is Tachysphex, the view is hard to say for sure, but it looks like incertus

I will be very happy to know who I photographed. Thank you in advance.

In the first photo, a burrowing wasp from the genus Bembix
In the second photo, probably a fold-winged wasp from the genus Polistes
In the third photo, the tachina fly Eriothrix rufomaculatus is a good photo I have not seen such good photos of this speci

Damn, it's not my day. Inattentive to the limit. The third photo is of course a tachina fly, but it is a species of the genus Cylindromyia. One of these days I will try to determine up to the form-the photo is painfully good.

Oh, I accidentally posted the wrong photo (I'm talking about Tahina), I missed the other angle of the wasp
But I am very glad that you liked this photo! And thank you very much for the definition!!!

Oh, it's not easy to understand all the subtleties on the first day on the forum
Previous message from Guest - this is from me-forgot to log in under my own name
I also added that photo of the wasp I missed...
And thank you again, I will be glad if you can determine the tahina before the view!!!

I would say Bembix oculata

Honestly, it would be nice if you wrote in which part of our vast Homeland the photos were taken. Very much contributes to the definition.
And one more thing. With these photos, there are no special questions, but it is often difficult to determine and it helps if they give the approximate size of the object.

yes and it would be interesting to see what kind of photo app the pictures were taken with

All my photos are taken by Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 the first and so far my only figure
If it is not difficult, please tell me how to create new posts in the current topic, otherwise my message is saved in the forum "classification of insects", and then it is moved to the topic. Or is this normal?

Okay, I'll sign the size and location of the shoot
These photos were taken in Volgograd, in a park.

I would venture to name your tachina fly Cylindromyia intermedia.
But I warn you that I am an amateur and I have only been seriously engaged in tahini for a couple of years. Sometimes you get an exact definition, sometimes you don't. I can vouch for the definition of the genus, but I'm not entirely sure about the definition of the species.

I will be very happy to know who I photographed. Thank you in advance.

2 and 4 photos probably common Polystes gallicus ?

Before Rod - this is already very good!!! I don't know much about insects at all, I just love photographing them. But I want to know who I'm shooting
I will try to post this photo also on the macroid, maybe someone will help, but there is rarely anyone who answers

Do you have a Russian name? And then in Latin I can't find ee

Polistes it is after all. Something like the French paper wasp.

"A typo, Petka. Not patricians, but party members."(c) Well, of course Polistes. Another confirmation that you should not write from memory, but rather check it out.
And I would not use Russian names for insects. It would be better to get used to the noble Latin immediately.

Py Sy Still wrote correctly for the first time

So I got to my hymenoptera. I don't know much about insects yet, so if the species are banal, I'll ask you not to hit them. Everything was shot in Volgograd and the region. Many photos of disgusting quality are the only photos of species, duplicates were not possible, insects quickly ran away after photographing.
1. 22.07.08. Black wasp, approximately 2.5 cm long.
2. 22.07.08. Medium-sized bumblebee
3. 28.07.08 Batozonellus lacerticida Pallas?
4. 29.07.08 Length 1-1.5 cm. The other day I met the same one-I tried to hide it in the litter, and with the wings down.
5. 29.07.08 German male? A little more than 1 cm.
6. 30.07.08 The only individual of this species I have met
7. 07.08.08 About 2 cm
8. 11.08.08 About 1 cm
9. 13.08.08 German woman methodically examined the cells of the wasp nest
10. 14.08.08 About 1 cm German woman crawled on the leaves of elecampane.

5, 8, 10 German wasps (Mutillidae), photo 5 male.
1 pompila wasp (Pompilidae)
in 9 photos Polistes wasp nest probably P. nimpha a German wasp crawls
along the nest about these wasps it is very difficult to say anything definite. I looked at the fauna of the USSR for German women - even to determine genera from your places, you need to consider structures that are invisible in the photo. I'll try to look at the collection and compare it based on a purely external similarity. Oh, I would go to the forum specialist in these oss....I collect wasps in addition to bees and pay much less attention to them.

3 it looks like you are right
photos 4 and 6 are some very cute bees. It seems that I have quite good bee collections from the Lower Volga region, but there is nothing like it. In general, it is a pity that you do not catch them, but photograph them.
I really want to get these bees in the collection.

alex 2611, well, maybe you will be in our area, I will help you in any way I can I tried to collect a collection many years ago, mainly catching dragonflies, by the way, many species from that collection I have not come across in the last 8 years. So, I was spreading insects on a cardboard box that was hanging on my wall, and one day a cat got to it...
Maybe next year I'll start collecting, the fact is that I can rarely distinguish a banal species from a rare one (so far it turns out with beetles). I was already faced with a situation where I photographed an interesting beetle, but it was not possible to determine the species from the photo.
I still have a dozen and a half undefined e-mails, I'll post a little later. And you can accept orders for the next year

The cat is generally a sore point. My cat jumped into an open box with wasps. Pompils and German women were injured. Volga region and Central Asia. I won't forget.... Now all work with insects is only in a closed room from the cat.
And collecting really makes sense. It is very difficult to identify many groups based on photos. And the collected insects lie to themselves.
Upload your photos. We will not define it so we will admire it.

At least some use is in some resources (in this case, one of the social networks) - free hosting For convenience, I continue numbering after the previous message:
