Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Tsykada

Maybe a cicada or a horntail, but in general fear has big eyes

Very interesting observations! Great photos!

http://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id18874/ this is most likely true. A Google image search for the phrase Giant Wood Wasp confirmed that this is it.

But, despite all doubts, I can say that I saw an individual about 10 cm in size. It flew past me and landed on a larch tree. It was huge! Half an hour later, the same individual was crawling in the same place, but much more modest in size (about 4-5 cm in length) with a missing front paw and wing, which allowed me to take a closer look at it. I think if I hadn't seen a huge specimen, I wouldn't have looked for what kind of creature it is.

Halictus sp. , Lasioglossum sp. ????

Some kind of Lasioglossum, since there are no vertex bandages on the tergums, but there are bandages at the base of the tergums.

Hello to all etnomologists! On July 12 of this year, I photographed a wasp, but the species has not yet been identified. I'm working on oss in my field, I created a web project, but this is the first time I've met an OS. The size of the wasp is 2, or slightly more than cm. Presumably I have Dolichovespula omissa, but I need an exact answer. If someone knows for sure, I will be very grateful if you answer.

This is Dolichovespula saxonica.
D. omissa is distinguished by a small spot in the middle of the platypus (it may be absent), as well as sharp angles of the medial lobe of the platypus.

What hornet?! No, well, I really understand wasps, it's DEFINITELY not a hornet))
This is D. omissa, but I am 99% sure, but I need 100% to be confirmed by a specialist.

Yes, that's right. But the fact is that the wasp was larger in size than even female Saxonians, not to mention workers. Or maybe it was Dolichovespula adulterina? I will be grateful for your answer.

What hornet?! No, well, I really understand wasps, it's DEFINITELY not a hornet))
This is D. omissa, but I am 99% sure, but I need 100% to be confirmed by a specialist.

Tell me, what kind of riders? I can't tell you the dimensions. I only managed to capture it with my camera ...
July 15-20, Arkhangelsk region.

and the main factor is that hornets NEVER feed on the inflorescences of umbrella plants, where I caught the wasp Dolichovespula omissa.

Ammophila sabulosa ?? How to distinguish from other ammophiles ?

If by "other" we mean species of European fauna, then the main distinguishing features are as follows::

- the pronotum roller is rounded and wider than its length
- the legs are completely black
- the upper part of the propodeum is covered with light spaced hairs (not glabrous)
- the 1st segment of the abdomen is mainly red-red
- the apical segments of the abdomen are black, usually with a bluish tint

Thank you so much, AVA, for confirming D. omissa. Now I can safely add a view to my site, as the 11th public wasp view of my area

Thanks ! It is difficult for me to understand the terminology, but as far as I understand it, it is.
