Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

So I got to my hymenoptera.

7 photos of a burrowing wasp of the genus Podalonia, formerly a subgenus of the genus Ammophila. I would say the view is affinis

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:

What I can do to help, so to speak. So, 13 is a burrowing wasp of the genus Tachysphex, 14 is a sapiga wasp, 15 is an interesting wasp, I would say Bembecinus hungaricus, but maybe a banal tridens, 16 is Campsoscolia tartara most likely, I caught such in the Crimea!!! 21 - Pryonix nudatus (kirbii) 23 - Scolia hirta

Bumblebees, please respond!!!!I would very much like to get an answer to my question (page 14).

Hello!
Can you tell me who it is? Taken in Israel.
Thank you.

VKONTAKTE 12. The German wasp Vespula germanica F. dissects the remains of an erect Orthoptera. Kaya I understood, the insect was already dead? I wonder if it's a wasp or an ant.

A male bee from the Megachilidae family. Most likely the genus Megachile

photo 2 bee from the genus Halictus such a small thing on the photo before the species is impossible for me. For the third day I have been working with galicts from the south of European Russia and Ukraine. Even with a copy at hand and the ability to turn it around it is very difficult to determine

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

All shot, again, in Volgograd and the region
25-20.05.08 10-15 mm.

If photo 25 is 15 mm in size, then it is very likely that it is Halictus sexcinctus.

Bumblebees, please respond!!!!I would very much like to get an answer to my question (page 14).

Alas!.. Checked - there are no bumblebees on the forum yet. Hopefully....

This wasp was photographed on a ferula inflorescence on May 08, 2008 in the Kokbulak River Gorge (Boroldaitau, Southern Kazakhstan). An Internet search for photos turned up nothing. You never know who has seen something like this...

I have never seen such a wasp, but in the south of Kazakhstan they are afraid of them, calling them "Tashkent wasps"

Vespa crabro?

yes this is Orientalis

On the inflorescence of the ferula is the eastern hornet Vespa orientalis L. A typical Mediterranean species, also distributed throughout Central Asia, excluding northern Kazakhstan and adjacent regions. The only hornet that lives in the desert.

Yes, I also thought about Vespa orientalis, but then I doubted - maybe some subspecies of crabro. Well, now everything fell into place. Congratulations to Mr. Montarano

Oh yes it was me dormidont

good afternoon, I started to sort out my epaulets here, tell me, is it possible to determine the bee ones from the photo at all??..take Andren, for example...let's say such...

Why are they so dead?

Why are they so dead?

pretty bad, huh?? ..ie nothing on the photo can not help me??

I'm not a specialist in them, just the quality is bad, it is clear that the museum ones were also kept in the damp, they have a fungus on them!!! Or are these new fees and you have brought them so far? not to mention the quality of the labels. It seems to me that these are banal types, although even they need to be defined. Unfortunately, I can't, but I'll make you happy - there is venation, the habitus is clear, but it seems to me that the males of Andren are looking at the genitals, so I seem to remember.

pretty bad, huh?? ..ie nothing on the photo can not help me??

the first three males for me are completely hopeless to determine like this from the photo.
I'll try to think about the two females. The first one seems familiar. The problem is that my andrens are lying very high - I can't reach them on one leg myself. I'm waiting for someone to come visit and get it.
The photos are good and clear. A specialist would have easily identified the females.
Are these your East Siberian fees?

In my opinion, there is not a fungus, but just this pubescence they have.

..you what!!what a fungus, I don't follow the girl like them!!!, of course it's their own pubescence!!..and they have never seen any moisture!!...
just on the green and Far Eastern nothing similar, or rather absolutely similar did not find, too many of them and the signs are quite relative (longer, larger, etc.), in my time I did not badly understand the venation.And I know about labels, I've already been told about it, I'm sorry, I'll correct myself..I have only 30 or 40 types of andren..and about all the bee colonies ..there are 100 or even more species..yes, even burrowing, road, German, public wasps, and so on...
maybe these are of course banal types, but I would like to know them

well, if necessary, I can post other angles!!...and yes, they are caught in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and in Khakassia...I have a box of them here

1. Help identify the bees. Taken in the Moscow region (Ramenskiy district)

As always, I'm not completely sure, but H01 and H02 remind me of the good old Andrena
haemorrhoa H04 bee from the genus Coelioxys family Megachilidae
H03 from an artistic point of view, I really liked the photo (I'm completely serious), but it's hard to say exactly. The hind tibia is very similar to the hind tibia of a female bee from the genus Macropis, but bees from this genus usually do not visit asteraceae. Still, the shins are clearly macropis. I don't know.I would sit on the flowers of verbena (Lysimachia) - there would be no questions.
What size was it? Are there any photos from other angles?

well, if necessary, I can post other angles!!...and yes, they are caught in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and in Khakassia...I have a box of them here

That would be nice. First of all, the face is interesting-the front view.
Or maybe you can also take a magnifying glass and describe two females a little? There are a lot of questions that are easy to answer by looking at a small magnification. First of all, the nature of the punctuation of the platypus (how thick, large dots or not, whether there is an unpunctured strip in the center of the platypus). The relative size of 2-4 segments of the antennae ( for example: if the 2nd segment is assumed to be 1, then the 3rd is assumed to be 1.5, and the 4th is 1.3) We are talking about the length. At least which of these three segments is the largest and which is the smallest). The punctuation pattern of the midspine, scutellum, and abdominal tergites is interesting. I understand that all this is quite subjective, but still. From the photo, it seems that the last bee has a shiny shield and is practically unpunctured. Is it so? From the photos, it seems that the hind legs of both females are not black, but red. Is it so? Or it's just the color of the pubescence of the hind legs, and the legs themselves are black. By the way, what color is the pubescence of the hind legs? Is this their natural color, or does pollen cling to it? And finally - what is their size? I mean, body length.

well, there are really a lot of questions and they are all on the case!!)..It's just that I'm very busy with beetles right now, so I think I'll try to deal with this issue for the weekend, because I work here ...unopened land..)))

Will anyone look at my bees?" They were issued earlier from the number H01 to H05

I have already expressed my thoughts. They are slightly higher.

I'm sorry, I completely lost my attention
There are four pictures of this bee (P03), but in all of them it is in a similar position. There was no blooming verbena tree nearby. Everyone flew to the blooming elecampane. And the size of it is about 10-11 mm
And the fifth is tight?
I still have some, and I found one of them very interesting - I've never seen one like it before.
Now I will finish with these five to deal with and put up the next five photos. Help us

In the first photo, you do not have a bee, but a burrowing wasp Crabro cribrarius Linnaeus, 1758 (Crabronidae), male. At first, I was somewhat confused by the blue color and the rounded edge of the front shin extension, but when I took out my materials out of curiosity, the color really turned out to be somewhat bluish, and this shape was due to the shooting angle.
Well, with bees, alex2611

[quote=IchMan,02.10.2008 12:20]

Thanks for the definition. I'll set up the OS later. I hope for your help
[/quote]

In general, now, according to the latest trends in the taxonomy of stingers, burrowing (sphecoid) wasps are included in the superfamily Apoidea together with other Apiformes, and that these groups are related and previously did not cause any doubt.
I'll help you in any way I can, but in the near future my collections will be out of reach for me, and even this is in the north-west, I don't know much about the more southern fauna.
And on the forum there is a Dormidont who deals with sphecoid wasps. With other OS groups, the situation is worse: the few experts in the country do not speak at the forum, even if they know about its existence and look here.

I was not identified in the previous message

I'm sorry for the fungus, it just seemed that way to me, it probably all depends on the quality of the label - why don't you print them on your computer? I looked at your box with membranes under magnification and saw there the outlines of burrowing wasps, which are interesting to me, one is exactly Ammophila sabulosa the rest are very unclear

yes the first one is cribrarius

In general, now, according to the latest trends in the taxonomy of stingers, burrowing (sphecoid) wasps are included in the superfamily Apoidea together with other Apiformes, and that these groups are related and previously did not cause any doubt.

Yes, this is true, and besides, burrowing wasps are divided into three families-Sphecidae (ancestral forms - Sphex, Ammophila and derivatives from them) Crabronidae (most of the entire group) + ampulicidae (a special group that includes Europe. Ampulex and Dolichurus parts)

Well, can anyone identify the bees I posted above?
