Who is it? Identification of different orders of insects

Good afternoon! There were two companions in the makeshift florarium: one small, thin and striped, the other larger, brown with a light spot. Are they cockroaches by any chance? Saint Petersburg, Peterhof, September

they. prusak larvae

Good afternoon, forumchane! Maybe someone knows experts on stick insects. Maybe there are some from other countries, but I didn't find any Russian ones.

Not in Russia.
From those I know - Joachim Bresseel from RBINS and Philip Edward Bragg, both in Asia (you can contact via RG) .

Well, thanks!

TMZ, what kind of experts do you need: taxonomists or breeders? If there are photos of an unidentified animal, it wouldn't hurt to post them here, maybe at least I'll tell you the family.

BDaria, prussians can be quite dangerous for plants, it is necessary to poison.

I need some stick insects from China to identify.

Secret ones?

No, I'll set it later

Hello. Please tell me - is this the larva of a praying mantis? An aunt from Dagomys sent it to me. I haven't yet answered whether it was definitely taken in Dagomys, and not from the Internet. Mantis
The fact is that I have never seen such a thing in 25 years of rest there. And very similar to something "Crimean".

Well, yes. Mantis larva from Empusaceae.

This is Gongylus. If it's really not from the Internet, then it either escaped from someone's terrarium (most likely), or another introduction. Ask your aunt in more detail.
So we only have empuzas that are now wandering around in search of a place to spend the winter, for the uninitiated they are very similar.

Well, at least with the family did not miss...

Ask your aunt in more detail.

Asked... - baba, it turns out, sent it from the telegram channel. I tried to find out from her the time, location of the shooting, coordinates.., - says: "Dad, - and who are you talking to"))

upload a photo
Hello! Please help me identify the larva? Chisinau neighborhood, April 29, 2022. Thank you in advance!

Hello. Taken yesterday, Tula region, in the garden. Is it one of the hemiptera? The size is very small, 3-4mm.

Asiraca clavicornis from the pig family. I'm used to it being the Equal-Winged Proboscis squad

How on the forum can you at least roughly determine an insect without a photo? It didn't wait for me to run for the phone and flew away

No way. There is no guessing on coffee grounds and so on.

Let him draw it from memory...

Hello.

Is it a cicada?
2-3 mm, live on the pond, near the shore. Moscow oblast.
How rare are they? Still blue in color...
I'm trying to attach a photo....

So how can I post a photo here? Files are not attached, and the form swears at the protection links

Hello.

Is it a cicada?

Family
of Song Cicadas-Cicadidae

In a country house, they began to notice that "sawdust"is taken from somewhere on the veranda in some places. And recently we saw that in addition to sawdust, there are also some black things lying around. I can't see very well, so I took my phone in macro mode, took a picture, and was blown away.

Who are they, and most importantly, how to deal with them so that they do not eat up the whole house?

Geographically - south of the Leningrad region

4 photos I post - 2 general views, a view of one reptile (as I understand it, these are larvae), and their "entrance" to the house.

PS I typed on the Internet what came to mind - "woodworm larva" is not it, it looks more like a white long caterpillar there. And here are some black strangers... And not a skin-eater either.

Most likely, Cicadellidae.
Definitely not a song cicada.

I caught a large Harpy caterpillar traveling in search of a place to pupate, it has about 7 lemon-colored parasite larvae of various sizes from 0.7 to 1.5 mm. The dark brown head is clearly differentiated. Everyone bit into the skin, even the area of a different color is affected by their activity. Tell me, what kind of larvae?

Everything was successfully removed from the surface, and the caterpillar started actively pupating in the jar. We wish her luck.

These are the larvae of some beetles, but they don't look like the xylophages I know of. Either leaf-eaters or ladybirds. Did you pick up a solitary wasp's nest with food?

Good evening. LO Vsevolozhsk There is a suspicion that from a bag of apples. The size is about 1 mm. Hind legs like those of leafblocks, massive thighs

Hay eaters Liposcelis

  
Hello! Please tell me, what is this microscopic creature? Ocd. Chisinau, September 25, 2022. Thank you in advance!

Apparently, a juvenile individual of the sidewalker spider Misumena vatia

Family
of Song Cicadas-Cicadidae

No. Cicadellidae. Macrosteles ?cyane

Liposcelis Hay eaters

Is there a good determinant for them? And another thing: what kind of environment should I enter into? Tried in balsam - it turns out badly.

Unfortunately, I don't know about it. You can save it in a mixture of alcohol and glycerin. But I like it as much as I really should, I don't know either. I'm a stupid bug collector.

IMHO they pi just in 70% alcohol normally stored. But still, they are determined by drugs in certain environments, judging by the photos on bourgeois sites. Experience has shown that Kananda balm for hay eaters, mites and legtails for some reason is not suitable (it becomes visible not at all what you need to see), although, for example, for exuvia of beetle larvae and hymenoptera, imago of hymenoptera and diptera it is perfectly suitable.

Yes, this is a handicap. I don't know where you'll get it. I read that for single preparations aphids and pva glue can be used. thinly layered and transparent (but apparently does not enlighten, as well. handicap or like clove oil before the balm-then, if necessary, a little in the alkali)
Native specialist on hay eaters-Golub, maybe she will write to you if you ask what she knows about trogomorphic revisions at the moment. in principle, the common types of trogus and liposcelis from similar ones have not yet been probarkodili and it did not turn out that there are 100500 cryptocosmopolites.

Alas, with the Head Start of an ambush - I can't get chloral hydrate. We used to have a lot of specialists on panzer mites at the department, they actively used the Handicap, but one died, one left, and the department itself has no windows and the temperature is +1.

I always use nail oil before the balm, but this only saves from cracks when applying the cover glass, but the final result of the conclusion in the balm does not change. The problem with hay eaters and other insects with thin covers is that in balsam their covers become almost invisible, but the insides are clearly visible. If macerated in alkali, it turns out to be invisible at all, it can only be seen under oblique lighting or in phase contrast, but you can't really see the details anymore. Even when you do it with the naked eye, it can be hard to tell if there's anything there at all, or if everything has drifted out of the cover glass.

Okay, I have two other options to try instead of Handicap: glycerin-gelatin and a fructose-based medium. True, the hay eaters are over.

Horsefly - I doubt
it, judging by the eyes, it's a female, and a female is not supposed to sit on a flower

She probably doesn't know. And why such gender discrimination? Do you think horseflies have males feeding on flowers? Horseflies are determined not by what they sit on, but, for example, by the shape of the mouth parts. The ax-shaped segment is definitely a horsefly, and it is clearly visible in the photo. Why do you rush to define something if you can't distinguish such an elementary dipter?

You're not Lara Croft, are you?" What do you mean, tomb raider? Because I don't remember such deep necroposting on this forum yet

Here is the discussed photo: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...st=50&p=284009#

Do you see a mouthpiece on it??? It was buzzing.

And so yes, at least in tabanus males regularly feed on umbrella flowers. I didn't see any females there, although, of course, I can't rule out that they may occasionally be attracted to sweets in between the consumption of salty
