Hi Nikita,

Hymenoptera-info does exist and I think they would be very glad with your perfect pictures.

but not a great forum like a diptera.info to ID wasps. I want a hymenoptera.info with international forum like diptera.info! :)
why not? It is not the first time I talk about this. ;)
Yes, create a forum for hymenoptera.info! I will push for it! Why not? It would be useful as we can see here for many requests.

Talking about wasps today I saw a beautiful Stephanidae wasp from Singapore in flickr. :) And in last week, I saw my first Tenthredinidae Symphyta wasp... and this tuesday my first Chrysididae of this year. :)

I agree with Jorge! The forum is awfully needful! I and my workmate have dozens of unidentified parasitic wasps, especially chalcidoids and braconids and we don't know who can ID them as here, in St.Petersburg, there are no good specialists at the current moment who can reliably fulfil our commission. I think this forum could seriuosly improve the situation and help many ecologists and entomologists who study insect communities and face parasitic and other wasps and bees in their work to make their life easy.

I started to collect Oxybelini in Senegal for Alexandr Anthropov, this groupexpert. In Senegal in dry season this wasp observed at cow (zebu) dung.
Now in Thailand I found another species of Oxibelus also associated with cattle. Oxybelus often sits on zebu body, sometimes lick eyes fluid. But impossible to collect from zebu?s body (if one trys zebu either run of or becomes agressive). Collecting from zebu dung also isn?t an easy task, but at least possible :D
