Wai-wai, I don't trust this cautious expert at allhttps://www.inaturalist.org/observations/102102502

well yeah.. I immediately withdraw the recommendation!) it's necessary to find this in his archive)))
(but! some(slightly less than all), as suggested, look from the thumbnails through the "detect" menu - and can uncritically not "see"(how much our perception is filled with gestalts and illusions in general-we must take into account), whereas I did not evaluate the process there and always opened and filtered through "explore" and opened not only each observation, but often several photos in real size, and I was not too lazy to compare them with other galleries - it's convenient to filter and open everything). It's worse when the expert blurted out and doesn't respond.. as I-pobaneny more than once, was not always accurate))

I read about dibrachisam this and this. Mine didn't match anything from there. But there are some species that were not considered in those works, for example, Dibrachys crassiscapus from the Odessa region. Naturally, there are no photos of them at all and nowhere (I suspect that not only on the Internet, but also in nature in general), they did not participate in the revisions, we can only look for protologues and hope that they are written quite sane. Nevertheless, I believe that in this case the chances of a new species are quite high: no one has yet noticed any second-order parasitoids on Latibulus argiolus, although its jumping cocoons are quite a popular living toy of entomologists. It is not so easy to get to its larvae, polist wasps protect the nest from everything that moves, and if you do not have special adaptations to overcome this protection, but simply poke the ovipositor into everything that gets there, then there is little chance of successfully breeding offspring in such conditions. But I'd also like to make sure I didn't miss Rod...

It often turns out that when an unsolvable dead end is found, a little bit is not there, but another?
And I still don't have a single Latibulus (well, or maybe 1 somewhere among...) I envy.. Although exactly in Tula and tres fronteras Ryazan-Nizhegorodskaya-Mordovia definitely have. well, yes, there are no os nests yet. Winter nests-you have hornets-maybe it would be interesting to take out what's left there? - to the context of your other message.
