I am very happy that we chose aome insects this time  cheers

The Apocrita are a suborder of insects in the order Hymenoptera.
It includes wasps, bees, and ants, and consists of many families. It contains the most advanced hymenopterans and is distinguished from Symphyta ( = sawflies )by the narrow "waist".

Please let me show you most of mine  Very Happy

This wasp is by Blip Toys in their Natures Wonders HD series. I believe it is meant to be the European paper wasp, Polistes dominula.

This is an interesting thread as there is only one hymenopteran figure I am aware of that is not in Apocrita, that being the raspberry horntail by Play Visions.

I will see what I can add and how I will present them...

Has anyone ever made a turtle ant (Cephalotes) worker? With that weird head, it's criminal if they haven't!

Smile  Smile You all,excuse me if I'm wrong in choosing  of those insects.

But no problem, because Blaine is an expert and he clarifies any doubt.

I am glad of seeing that it is being a suyccessful topic. Wink I know from the Blaine's bug of the day that he has a lot of these and it is great to see how they're being sorted here but I didn't know other friends had so many of these. I don't have a single figure to contribute but I am really enjoying a lot. Very Happy

that bee is a much re-used 'chinamal', very common in generic and dollar store sets.

My version was from this set: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

but I have seen variants used many times, and 'copies' at a variety of sizes.

It is good enough to be attributable to a honey bee (Apis mellifera), at least!
