Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

I'll try to keep an eye on them. They should carry their prey to their burrows for posterity if they are sphecids, so.

Anthophora of some sort...

If it were possible to consider wing venation....

Hi!
I hope that someone will respond to my message!
I am only superficially familiar with the world of insects, so I can't determine for myself what kind of miracle we saw in our dacha. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of it, but below is a detailed description. Time and place - June 18-20, Tula region.
Description:
The insect is similar to a wasp, but much larger (2.5-3 cm). The body consists of 2 equally sized black teardrop-shaped parts connected by a thin yellow isthmus (diameter 1 mm, length 5-6 mm). On the back of the body there is a stinger, on the front-long legs (like a grasshopper) striped, black and yellow, and in my opinion, this insect had only 2 legs. Wings, like those of an ordinary wasp, 10 mm long, no more. The head is also like that of an ordinary wasp.
It's probably some kind of wasp, but I've never seen one like it before.

Here it is again (next to the holes in which it will climb). I've never seen them carry anything there. And the wings as ordered. Venation is somehow visible.

Hello everyone Please tell me what kind of rider this is. It seems to me that it is similar to Chrysocharis gemma. Taken in the Yaroslavl region, Nekouzsky district, pos. Borok, yesterday (March 31).

Congratulations! It looks like you have a red book species (I don't know the truth about the Tula region) Sceliphron destillatorium or a similar species. In general, sceliphrons are Southern European and North African animals. But these are the ones who came to us
Here is S. destillatorium:



UPD: I apologize, scelifrons are cosmopolitans, just about the distribution I wrote about the Western Palearctic.

I identified the same eels as members of the genus Chalcis (Chalcididae )

Thanks for the tip-off. Chalcis sispes L. Large parasite of lion flies Stratiomys chamaeleon Deg. Both of them flew near the water (there, like drying up lakes)

Who can tell me if you correctly identified Andrena carantonica?
Kaluga region 10.07.10.

And who will say something about this rider?
Volgograd region, Kamyshinsky district, Shcherbakovsky Nature Park, Shcherbakovskaya balka, 14-16. 06. 2010.

I may be a sucker, but it's very hard to tell from a photo like this....

Well, why are you so, just a sucker!
Photos of course, not so hot! But they are too fast, and I will not catch them and put them on a pin. Let them live!
I am interested at least in your assumptions. Similar!

Tell me guys what kind of wasps it is, the first one grabbed some small bee with its jaws , pricked it in the head area, chewed slightly and then threw it.the second glitter at least b to the genus .

The first is a wasp from the genus Cerceris
On the forum For some reason never got into the habit of reporting the size of the insect and the place of capture, but if we assume that the wasp was shot in the Moscow region and its size is about 10 mm, then most likely it is Cerceris rybiensis

. Arazmer of the first approximately 15-18mm., the second 10-12mm., almost forgot Vostok m. O. July 2010.

Are you sure about the size? C. rybiensis does not have this size. Something's not right here.
