Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

A female of some kind Ectemnius [Crabronidae]. It is unlikely to get to the view from this angle and with this resolution. Just guessing.

For this one, I ran around the house for 5 minutes, I didn't sit for more than 1 second)
In the future, from what angle is it better to photograph wasps and bees to determine? Front and close?

Each group has its own diagnostic signs in its place. General standard: top, side and muzzle of the face.

What kind of bumblebee can it be? Help please. Tatarstan, 17.06

Tetramorium sp.

Saratov Region, June

Holopyga sp. (Chrysididae)

Dear colleagues, when sifting the litter, I caught such a miracle-about 2 mm long (if anything, I can measure it more accurately), apparently some kind of myrmecophile (I don't think it's an ant).

Collected in the mountains of Crimea.

I don't even know what order this insect belongs to - I've never seen one like it before. Calm, does not try to sting when picked up, undeveloped elytra and creaks like a barbel, the body of a weevil, wings and powerful prehensile legs of a rider. That's who?

It's a bug. Necydalis sp.

And what number was caught? And on what?

Sorry, I forgot to mention it. Tula Region, July 1, 2017. Found in the garden on the back of a nettle leaf.

Similar to Necydalis major

Please help me determine the type of this insect.
It is only 8 mm long.
It was caught on 29.06.17, Rostov region , Shakhty, circling around roses

Yes and this is a female

Dear colleagues, when sifting the litter, I caught such a miracle-about 2 mm long (if anything, I can measure it more accurately), apparently some kind of myrmecophile (I don't think it's an ant).

I'd look in the diapriids - there are a lot of brachypterous animals there.

Most likely, Pseudoanthidium scapulare (Latreille, 1809)

please help me with the definition. Chuvashia, 4.7.2017

The first image shows a pair of Lestica clypeata (Schreber, 1759) [Crabronidae]

Pseudoanthidium sp. (not P. scapulare - it occurs further west). The species cannot be identified from this photo, and not all species of this genus can be identified at all. In the Rostov region, P. nanum, P. tenellum and another species that I do not yet know what to call are likely.

Pseudoanthidium sp. (not P. scapulare - it occurs further west).

I would write Pseudoanthidium lituratum (Panzer, 1801), but it is synonymous with Pseudoanthidium scapulare (Latreille, 1809).

I'd look in the diapriids - there are a lot of brachypterous animals there.

I also think about this family. But what kind of gender is already difficult.
Thank you.

In the Rostov region, P. nanum, P. tenellum and another species that I do not yet know what to call are likely.

Yes, you are right, it is nanum

I would write Pseudoanthidium lituratum (Panzer, 1801), but it is synonymous with Pseudoanthidium scapulare (Latreille, 1809).

Apis liturata Panzer, 1801, nom. praeocc., nec Gmelin, 1790 = Anthidium nanum Mocsary, 1879. So the valid name of this species is Pseudoanthidium nanum (Mocsary, 1879). As for P. scapulare (Latreille, 1809), it is a different species, distributed in the Western Mediterranean, which differs quite well from P. nanum, at least the genitalia of the males are completely different (see fig. here is the article).

Yes, you're right, it's nanum

Not a fact, the dotted line is not visible. See the article at the link in the previous post, page 141 - if the dotted line is as in Figure 1, then P. nanum, if as in Figure 2-then either P. tenellum, or the third type, which is not in that article.

And yet nanum, judging by the shape of the spots and their distance from each other

Please help me identify Sawflies.

I forgot to specify it. Belarus. Minsk region 28.05. 2017

Hello! I found this insect again in the garden. Maybe someone will find out. Is it someone from the Ichneumonid (if so, who: genus / species?)? My coordinates do not change, I photographed the insect from different angles. Thank you in advance!

no, it's not from Ichneymonidae

NO, NOT ichneumonid. Most likely, someone from the Torymidae [Chalcidoidea].

Thank you for the tip! This helped narrow down the search.

Saratov Region, June

The 1st one is similar to Pemphredon sp. [Crabronidae]. But it is difficult to get to the view, since even the veins can not be disassembled.

I have long been tormented by the question, what kind of ants are these? I always thought it was Lasius niger, because for a garden the name is appropriate "Black garden ant". But maybe someone will be able to find out a more specific genus / species. Suddenly, not him. Somehow I managed to take a picture of these ants on a young pear tree in the garden.

It looks like a cimbex, only the size is not yet the same, but it can still grow up. Who can say more precisely, I will be grateful.

No, he doesn't look like a Cimbex at all. This is someone from the Tenthredonidae.

Ruslan Mazurik, the pictures are creepy, but, it seems, really a nigger. There is, however, still L. platythorax, but its status as a separate species is debatable.

Here they throw all sorts of people: who, as they can, takes pictures. And it's not up to you to decide if they're "creepy" or not. Not for you fotkayu. If you don't like it or find it difficult to recognize an insect, don't answer me.

Thanks for the previous definitions; very "nice" forum.

I mentioned the fact that the photos are creepy as a statement of fact without any malicious intent or ulterior motive, and I am very surprised by such a destructive reaction to this harmless comment. I thought that you yourself are aware of the fact of poor quality of images, many people subscribe to similar ones "sorry for the quality, I shot on a mobile phone". You look like you're defending your creation at a photo exhibition. They throw everything in the trash can, and it's not here. Your photos of ants are the most creepy in this topic in my memory. The more creepy ones can be found mainly in the section of entomophobic ladies ("Insects in the house"), but those are excusable. For taking responsibility, even if not with a 100% guarantee, but to determine the type of lyazius (!) for such a disgusting photo, I received from you a wonderful "thank you" to myself personally and the forum in general. Ask for the definition of insects from now on it is better on the europeisika forums, there you will not be offended by Muscovites.

Ruslan, don't be offended, the photos are really creepy. What does creepy mean - it means that it is very difficult to determine the "genus/species" from them. Download on the Internet, for example, "identification of insects of the European part of the USSR" and look through it. You will see what signs are important for determining the species and whether they are visible in your photos.

P.S. ENO, please don't talk about "Europa" and "Muscovites".
