Horntail looks like a cylindrical belly and the shape of the ovipositor at its end or whatever it is I don't know) but the veins were exactly orange-red and exactly so arranged at equal intervals, maybe there are other species that I haven't met on the Internet, and the main difference is opaque wings are gray, the drawing in the encyclopedia is similar to a large coniferous change and fold the wings, the legs are more bug-like.. on his photos that are in the network does not look at all, I will go to those parts this week on a fishing trip to look for this parasite.. interest was aroused by the strongest long pain from the bite, and horntails do not seem to bite..
ps with hornets and other biting sign well distinguished would think..
thanks to those who responded, I will dig further)

Now I am in the south of the region, I am staying with my parents. There are quite a lot of settled terrain areas and quite a lot of sandy slopes. Alexander, there are some tricks in catching parasites and not only various stinging ones?...Here and wasps-spangles, and burrowing and road wasps, Germans...It's just that it's quite difficult to get close to them, and even if you do, it's not a fact that you'll catch them in the sand. With flowers, this is easier to do. I caught a couple of phyllanthus species that were hunting for bees on raspberries. As I get home, I'll try to post
I found a dead bee, it looks like a honey bee in color, but the complex eyes are connected at the top and the venation is terribly interesting

, can you tell me. what kind of animal can it be?

There are a lot of fishing methods, it all depends on the goals and capabilities. Now, for example, Malez traps of various designs are in great fashion, as well as the so-called "yellow traps".

Just like that, it's hard to say about a bee. This can be, for example, the female honey bee-drone (their eyes close on the crown). Venation would be nice to see...

I wonder where such places can be found in chet city....
and as I understand it, they attract not mediocre color, that is, at a fairly close distance from their habitats.

Unfortunately, such places are difficult to find not only in the city, but even in the village. Kids are ubiquitous. You can, of course, try to collect them, hold a conversation and get them interested. But there's always some bad guy...

As for attractiveness, no one has reliably established what exactly attracts you. We agreed that it is still a color (by the way, sometimes blue traps are also used, into which a different species group flies). It is also possible that thirst attracts on a hot day...
And finally, the actual nesting or hunting territories of insects are quite small (from our point of view). It is only the stray males of some butterflies that search for a female within a radius of kilometers. Most of the others are quite enough for a couple of tens of meters.

Colleagues, please help me identify the ant. Caught in a shoe store (goods are brought from everywhere...), in the back room below ground level. At first I thought it was Lasius niger, but the specimens are half the size of typical lasiuses collected in the park... Although they are similar...
Photo through the MBS eyepiece, and at a magnification of 25X

The fact that this is a working Lasius - do not go to a fortune teller. But with the view it will be more difficult. Moreover, they are "driven from everywhere". You just need to carefully run it through the keys. Unfortunately, a lot of things are simply not visible in the photo.
Oh, by the way, the size, in this case, does not matter, since 1.5 times is the normal range of variations.
