Here are photos of my steppe grasshopper. Taken last year (late July or early August) in the r valley.Polosnya (Serebryano-Prudsky district, Moscow region). Biotope-meadow steppe in the upper part of the slope of the beam (actually, it flows along the beam of Polosnya - this is actually a stream )

Well, I can't say much about the Scythian sawtail in detail.
The main thing is that its discovery in the Moscow Region was not previously recorded,
and this is probably the northernmost point of its distribution.
By the way, did you find Tettigonia viridissima in that biotope?

So it's a godsend after all? I understood that Chernyakhovsky has copies from the Moscow Region. Well, if the find - then we will collect and publish, what else to do with the find?

About Tettigonia viridissima. Maybe I met him in the forest-steppe part of the Moscow Region (but not on the Strip, but in the Oka Valley in the Stupinsky district), or maybe not him... I did not collect it, because there was a sad experience with a browned and wrinkled wingless grasshopper (the most offensive thing is that, after looking closely, I was convinced that I had completely needlessly soaked an overgrown

constrictus ). I thought that if I didn't know how to collect grasshoppers, then there was nothing to do. Now I know how to do it, so if I meet you, I'll also collect tettigonia

Thank you all! I'll have to see what else I've taken out of the erect wings."

Regarding Calliptamus, I found that acrida1 is similar to C. plebejus, is it?
About "D. verrucivorus", I enlarged the image, the color reproduction is normal, that is, the color is close to natural.
As for entomophthora

, it may have been on him, but he didn't seem to have died from it, but from falling into the spider's trap net, which is not visible in the picture, it's at the bottom(like tegenaria)
Here is Acrida sp., it surprised, so this is such "stick insects" and there are acrids!!
And so I didn't disappear anywhere, I read regularly

Just in the topics that are now mostly discussed(erect wings), I don't understand at all, but hymenoptera:vespidae is "not popular"..

Sorry of course, but thank you for reminding me about the large size of the snapshot

The server has limited space for the site, so I can't upload full-size ones, but here large snapshots can make it difficult to load the page..

"About Calliptamus - the only real choice is between italicus and barbarus"
Well, I looked at Google, just searched by gender, but there were few links, no experience at all, and the first one is similar as a result

)
As for the color, I can see, they still skip in nature, and not rare, if it doesn't get colder, you can catch them.
The authorship of the decticus definition is not mine, so I can't say anything..
And about zasil - yes, nothing, I just envy

And in general it becomes interesting

If between italicus and barbarus, then here are the signs of both:

1 the inner side of the hind thighs is pink or red, solid, with 2 transverse dark bandages that do not reach the lower side. - this is italicus

- the inner side of the hind legs either with a large black spot occupying 2/3 of the thigh (subv. cephalotes F.-W. et al.), or with 1-3 black bandages (subv. barbarus Costa), almost or completely reaching the lower side. "this is barbarus.

For bandages, you need to take the stripes exactly inside. the sides of the thighs, i.e. a sling on the hip when looking from above, if it does not continue further, it does not count as such.

I've given you all this so that you don't have to worry about finding qualifiers.
