Redd kr.
The rider?

No, some pompilida.

Ryazan region. St. Petersburg district, July.
It looks like a bumblebee, like Bombus lapidarius.
But I don't understand the subject's behavior. Abruptly, like a fly, it takes off, quickly flies around the territory with a radius of 10 meters
and returns to the same place. And so on and on. Around them, other bumblebees usually move slowly from flower to flower.
Please explain

Good afternoon! Tell me the name of the bee. June. South of Ukraine. Thanks!

Op-panky and Sceliphron curvatum you have announced!

Or is it deforme? Ow, specialists!

Good afternoon! Tell me the name of the bee. June. South of Ukraine. Thanks!

Most likely Andrena curvungula

Or is it deforme? Ow, specialists!

Judging by the sculpture of the mid-spine, it is still Sceliphron deforme (F. Smith, 1856).

Can anyone confirm that this is Theronia atalantae (derived from the pupa of an unpaired silkworm)? Georgia, Tbilisi, Link to a large size.

Good afternoon! Is it possible to recognize something from such photos? I was really surprised by these goosebumps..
Kurgan region, Almenyevsky district, lake without a name. On a telorez, right in the water.

What a beauty!
Saratov region, Balashovsky district, nest in the soil on the road.

It's hard to say anything from these photos.
1. Most likely Formica pratensis
2 and 3 May be Camponotus vagus.
4 I can't tell from this myrmicin.

Winged females of some myrmica. (genus Myrmica) Apparently during the summer they got into the water.

Female Cerceris tuberculata (Villers, 1787), rather infrequent animal

Good day to all!
Can you tell me if it is possible to determine the type of bumblebee from such photos? There is no normal camera, I took pictures with my phone, so please excuse the quality.
Taken in late August-early September, in the vicinity of Vyborg, Leningrad region.
The size of what is on what on ordinary goldenrod is approx. 12 mm (1st picture), and that on Canadian goldenrod is approx.20 mm.

Males of some bumblebee species guard females in this way.

Must not.

Hello! Please help me identify it. Taken in Moscow.
I assume that these are some kind of polysts, but I'm not sure, and I can't determine the exact type.

1-male Polistes dominula

3-FEMALE Polistes nimpha

Wow! Thanks! So males have a shorter and more rounded belly?

Actually, shorter-longer - it's all relative. But in males, the abdomen consists of 7 visible segments (the last one is not pointed), and in females - of 6 (the last one is sharp).

In general, the opposite is true. But it's telescopic: it folds and unfolds.

I wish someone could help me sort out my e-mails. I'll be very grateful. It will be enough until the end.
Krasnoyarsk region, forest-steppe.

1. Body length 14mm - 31.08.19.


2. Body length 10 mm - 9.08.19.


3. Body length 11mm-9.08.19.


4. Body length 13mm - 31.08.19.

AVA, ENO, thank you!

.. in males, the abdomen consists of 7 visible segments (the last one is not pointed), and in females - of 6 (the last one is sharp).

And this definition of sex by the number of abdominal segments also applies to vespins?
Then it turns out that this is a male Vespula germanica?

1)


Then what is this monster? I thought it was a female queen Vespula vulgaris, but it has as many as 8 segments.

2)


Or is this the way vespin queens should be?

Is the sausage cut by a female worker Vespula germanica or Vespula vulgaris?

3)


And here I can't decide, is it germanica or vulgaris?

4)


Do I understand correctly that if they are completely black, then they are Vespula vulgaris? Or is it even a third kind?

5)


It's just not entirely clear, Vespula vulgaris is a photo of blacker, and almost the same as germanica. In some cases, some of the black spots are separated from the main stripe, and some are not. And I'm confused as to what kind they belong to. In general, it seems that this is one polymorphic type.

Is this Vespula germanica?

6)


7)


All, respectively, were shot in Moscow.
Thank you in advance!

  AVA, ENO, thank you!
And this definition of sex by the number of abdominal segments also applies to vespins?

In most of our wasps, with the exception of spangles [Chrysididae], sex is quite easy to determine. In females, the abdomen consists of 6 visible segments (apical at the apex is pointed), and the antennae include 12 segments. In males, the abdomen consists of 7 visible segments (the apical one is rounded or obtuse at the apex), and the antennae include 13 segments. The same goes for vespins.
1-male Vespula germanica
2-male Vespula vulgaris
3-female Vespula vulgaris
4-female Vespula germanica
5-female Vespula vulgaris
6-female Vespula germanica
7-female Vespula germanica
In vespins, the severity of the pattern on the abdomen depends on the characteristics of larval development, and in working females it is not a definitive sign. But here, for example, if the light stripe on the temple is divided in two, then it is almost certainly Vespula vulgaris (in Vespula germanica, this stripe is always solid). But a more significant feature is the shape of the outer edge of the basal tooth of the mandibles (see my previous post).

Thank you so much! I couldn't find such information myself.
I was slightly shocked that number 2 is a male. I looked at when the photo was taken, as it turned out, in September 2018. Then I see. For some reason, I remember that it was in April. That's why I was sure it was a wintering uterus. It turned out to be a mistake.
Thank you again so much!
Oh, mandibles I definitely can't handle. )))))))))
