I just wanted to comment that the photo looks like retro-style. It turned out that it is actually a retro reversal film slide 6x6 cm!
And yes! An entomological exhibition is taking place in Kotelnich too. And where is Kotelnich situated? Kotelnich is situated on the confluence of the two great Russian rivers — The Volga and The Oka. If fact, it's not. This one was about Nighny Novgorod. And when it comes to Kotelnich, the town lies on the middle reaches of the Vyatka river, right next to The Kotelnich Location of Pareiasaurs ...
One of the foreign non-specialized websites has interesting material on the topic of what a professional entomologist does, is he afraid of insects or not, is he obliged to has at least a bachelor's degree or is there is enough forestry technical school, what places you can go to work as an entomologist, well, and the most interesting thing is the salaries and comparison with seemingly similar ...
И ведь никто ничего не пишет. Хоть бы кто ответил, мол, «фуууу»... Или «я когда таких вижу, сразу отворачиваюсь». Молчат! Автору: я понимаю, что для одноразового сообщения регистрироваться с именем лениво, но имейте ввиду, ...
February is a month of no travel. But for the brave ones, there is the right direction — Kotlas. An exhibition dedicated to insects has recently opened in Kotlas museum. There is a selection of specimens of insects of the region, macrophotos of insects in a decent more then size, and most importantly, a model of an entomological net is demonstrated, it's ideal for catching insects. The net has ...
The "Russia 24 Nizhny Novgorod" TV channel in the "Breakfast with" TV show introduced an interview with Alexander Zatakovoy, a man who is seriously infected by entomology, but not only that! Of the videos that can be shared on our website, only Rutube player is available, so I'm posting it through the Rutube (and so you have to use your browser's translating options).
We updated the design of comments for photos, species, superspecies taxa, as well as topics in the Community/forum. Now the comments are more indented, they separated by a light line and alternate by background color. It will be easier to read them like this.
The species page now displays more complete information about the sources of information (references) - for synonyms, subspecies and descriptions (previously not all of it was shown). Personal communications are now indicated each with its own code in square brackets (similar to literary sources). For example, [3] is a regular source, and [PC1] is a personal communication. At the bottom of the ...
Zoran, if you have other photos of this specimen or any other information in connection with which you can confidently define the species, please let us know.

The species is already on the website as Amauronematus humeralis. As soon as we understand where we are taking Euura squalida, I will transfer photographs if necessary and I'll assign illustrations.
Andrey, I've added F. ewaldi according to David R. Smith, Ewald Altenhofer. The Second Record of a Sawfly Leafminer on Rosa, A New Species of Fenusa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). April 2011. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 113(1): 57-60. And Fenusa nana (Klug, 1816) - apparently, after all, a synonym for Fenusella nana?
Euura saliciscinereae was added. Is E. squalida a synonym of Euura humeralis (Audinet-Serville, 1823)?
If you'd like to catch more insects and make less effort at the same time, and you do not have specialization for specific groups of Insecta, just put a white screen at night (even a white sheet is suitable like one) and turn on different lights on it (for example, one mercury lamp plus one UV lamp). You can put it almost anywhere, the main thing is that there is a socket for powering light bulbs ...
There are proposals to correct existing taxa names of living organisms in order to change "inappropriate". For example, names of "controversial" persons, as well as words that can offend adherents of certain religions or speakers of certain languages. The results of the implementation of such proposals — mass renaming — can be very negative, and the impression of the authors of such ...
Earlier, when filling the "taxon" field in the photo upload form (or when editing "taxon" field of a previously uploaded photo), autosuggestions worked only for the main taxon name (full correspondence or incomplete correspondence) and did not worked for synonyms, genera combinations and local (for example, English) names. In some cases, this was inconvenient: for example, you upload a photo, ...
Previously, when setting a new map point, the "Radius" value might not be picked up, and it had to be entered additionally on the mark editing page. Now this problem has been fixed. You can to specify the radius when setting the new point, and it will be displayed correctly.
Nadezhda, it seems, according to this photo — no way to identify the object :--) If there is a more detailed photo, please, send it.
Now you can link your photos to map marks on the map section not only on the photo page, but also on the page for editing the photos you have uploaded. On the edit page a new text field has now been added for each photo: “Map mark”. If you've already linked a photo to a mark on the map, the mark number is indicated in the new field. If the photo is linked incorrectly, you can move it to ...
If you do not like the standard color design of the Insecta.pro website and/or if the standard colors do not have enough contrast between the text and the background for you — now you can switch to alternative colors. And if you get tired of alternative ones, you can always go back to the main colors. In order to change background and font colors you see on the site pages, you need to: 1. Log ...
Good afternoon. There was a pause in the active work of the website, and now a major reform of its technical part and content of the website is undergoing, plus the issue of integration with the entomological forum is being resolved. The exchange section will be restored in a new format, but not now — after updating the main sections. I assume that it'll take place in the spring, but I won't ...
During November, a lot of work was carried out to correct errors in the designation of the Author and Year for species and other taxa, as well as in the names of synonyms. The changes affected about 37,000 taxa. And yes, the "comma issue" has also been resolved.
