Is this supposed to be Hymenoptera excluding Formicidae?

@neylon related to the project you added https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/batesian-mimics-of-social-wasps

Is that on the list? I didn’t see it.

My opinion, I don’t think it fits. There’s only a couple Hymenoptera in the list and it mostly aims for collecting observations of other insect orders.

Sorry, I just realized that I never responded.

I’m not sure. There are a variety of projects that the observations in the project are not bees, but the subject is very much focused on bees. A couple of examples are: Predation of Bees and Vermont Bee predators. Neither of which has any bee observations, but both of which are heavily focused on bees. A project that studies Batesian mimicy, while it doesn’t have any bees, could also be considered to be focused on Bees.

On that, do you know of a project that would cover Silken Fungus Beetles attached to Bombus? I see that occasionally on here, and I’d like to know more about it. Especially wondering if it actually benefical.
