The nesting behaviour and prey selection of Sceliphron destillatorium remains poorly studied in Ukraine. In the present study we analysed a total 59 nests S. destillatorium. main morphometric parameters nests, especially cell length width, were determined by measuring nest cells. spiders found cells identified to determine trophic relationships larvae. be terrestrial orb-weavers (Araneidae), crab-weavers (Thomisidae), tangle-weavers (Theridiidae), with clear predominance Araneidae. Six...

Representatives of the genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 are found in almost all biogeographical regions world (Yuan, 2022). At present, 35 species this have been known (Pulawski, 2020). Of these, six recorded from territory Ukraine as follows: three invasive species: caementarium (Drury, 1773); curvatum (Smith, 1870) and deforme (F. Smith, 1856) (Kletʹonkin, 2023); native destillatorium (Illiger, 1807); madraspatanum (Fabricius, 1781) spirifex (Linnaeus, 1758) (Tymkiv et al., 2015). The most...

Background. Dryudella sp. is a Holarctic genus, which includes 58 species. The majority of them, however, 29 species in particular, are common Palearctic. On the territory Ukraine genus was represented by four species, collected Eastern, Southern and Central Ukraine. biology has been insufficiently studied; its certain aspects having studied only for few representatives genus. Materials Methods. A specimen wasp captured with help an entomological net using method selective catching on...

Background . The article presents the results of research on bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) that occur in city Lviv. Bees are effective and important pollinators many wild agricultural angiosperm plants. However, very sensitive to environmental changes, especially changes caused by humans. Urbanization often degrades nesting habitats for bees, decreases abundance oligolectic species, etc. Many different factors may have various effects species bees. Thus, such investigations topical. A...

This paper presents a brief overview of bee species that occur on the territory Roztochya Nature Reserve (mainly, deciduous forest not far from fish-breeding ponds near Ivano-Frankove town and Zalyvky tract – forested area sphagnum bog) its buffer zone (the around pounds Lelekhivka village). Materials were collected during vegetation period 2015–2018. Also, we analyzed entomological collection Zoological Museum Lviv National University.

Background. The article presents the results of research on bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) that occur in city Lviv. Bees are one most important pollinators many species angiosperm plants. Research diversity is very not only wild nature territories, but also urbanized areas. Cities have a significant impact bee diversity, their biology and conservation. A comprehensive study all Apoidea whole territory Lviv has been conducted for first time more than 80 years we hope presented materials will lay...
