Identification of Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, etc.)

Podisma teberdina or sp. from p/sem. Catantopinae. Do you have an anterior thorn on the bottom? Then OK.

2 guest: a

The fact of the matter is that the prothorax from below is without a spike, even without a bump. Then there would be no problem. I have literally from the same place nymphs Podisma, in appearance they are different. And the bulk of them were much smaller.
As for this one, there was a suspicion at first that it was Caucasippus, but I didn't even see the imago of these fillies.

to Dracus
Caucasippus is similar to Chorthippus, and this is clearly some kind of chunky petro-or geobiont. Most likely a female nymph Psophus stridulus, in the subalpine belt they are there, in the Alpine-not seen.

Help me determine it.

Filly-Omocestus haemorrhoidalis (Charpentier, 1825)Red-bellied grass.

Not true, the filly is not Omocestus haemorrhoidalis, but Chorthippus (most likely a subgenus of Glyptobothrus) sp. Grasshopper-young Platycleis sp.

Help me clarify and define:

D. albifrons?

I didn't find this scolium in the Plavilshchikov determinant, I have collected hirta, qadripunctata, maculata, and who is this?

This spider weaves a wheel-shaped network, it is mainly located parallel to the substrate with its plane, and is often found in depressions that are tightened by its network.

This spider is similar to a trapdoor, its network is shadow-like, almost dome-shaped, located between the branches of trees, the web is strong, the network is sparse, but sweeping. In the center of all the nets that I found was a small dry leaf in which the spider is sitting.

The blacksmith is similar to D. verrucivorus gracilis. Good resources on spiders are here: http://www.spiders.ru/spiders/ and here: http://www.araneae.unibe.ch/Homepage/Besti...immung_Ganz.htm And why is it that they are all so twisted that the defining signs are not visible? Probably got hit with a sneaker:)

According to the grasshopper, Plavilshikov's guide has a drawing of the genital plate of D. verrucivorus, so they are different, and the grooves on the middle paw are also different. Then, and who is it then, is also removed today, like the previous one:

Also, I was told here "Albifrons don't have green, at least I haven't seen" Green what?

Spiders are like this because they are cold, no bast shoes:)
But it is not easy to determine by reference, without knowing the family.
If the tenet can be associated with Achaeranea sp., then I did not find the second one...

And this is finally not Decticus, but Gampsocleis glabra. See the long plantar lobes and obliquely cut top of the tip of the ovipositor.
The albifronsoff-green color is not usually present in the coloration, but this is not a definitive, but a field sign. And the muzzle is all white, as a rule.

Well, back to .. Decticus'am
If it didn't look like Albifrons last time, who did I find now? The grasshopper in the picture is without green color, slightly smaller than the previous expected verricivorus.

Here's what Hirt's scolia looks like::

And this is one of their past spiders, presumably Achaeranea riparia, now it is not cold

Grasshopper-common, gray, D. verrucivorismis. Wasp - I don't know, I also caught a lot of them in Croatia.

Well, back to .. Decticus'am

It is suspected that the grasshopper is Platycleis affinis. I'm not saying that, but it looks like it. And in terms of size, it seems to be the largest of the platikleis.

DHL, no, this is definitely not verricivorus Osa this is Scolia hirta, this is for comparison.

And according to the few pictures on the network, yes, it looks like Platycleis affinis, if there were any definitive keys, I have a grasshopper.

According to Harz, the characteristics of female P. affinis are as follows:
- 7th sternite with one clear protrusion.
- Subgenital plate with a wide notch.
- The ovipositor is quite thin when viewed from the side, 11.5-14.5 mm. in length, smoothly curved.
- Pronotum up to 8 mm long.

The choice in the south of Ukraine will be, by and large, from P. affinis and P. escalerai. The last pronotum is 8-9 mm long, the ovipositor is more sharply curved.

Somewhere like this.

Thank you, exactly, everything fits - pronotum 6 mm, ovipositor smooth radius, other signs are there-exactly P. affinis! In general, there are so many straight-winged birds in that biotope! And what a roar from chirping and grinding, there would be someone from the experts...

It's great. I envy you with white envy
When I looked at the book, I became more and more convinced that it was affinis.

RippeR, thank you! I'll find out where it's found.
Well, who is this?
There is no protrusion on the stubble, and the indentation on the plate is not very pronounced. The biotope is already different - the calcareous slope of the Ingul River with a predominance of grass vegetation, but still there is a greater variety of plants than in the steppe.

This is Platycleis grisea.

The protrusion on the front of the chest from below is very clear.

It is suspected to be Tropidopola longicornis.

Great if that's the case. What signs can be used to check this?

The fact of the matter is that I don't have a key for larvae (and whether there is one).
It's just that I don't know any more cylindrical ones among the catanthopids.
According to Mishchenko (Fauna of the USSR vol. IV issue 2, 1952) in Tropidopola:
- The suction cup between the claws of the paws is large.
- The parietal fossa is triangular, far from reaching the top of the crown.
- The median keel of the pronotum is smooth, barely raised, often erased in the anterior part, interrupted by three transverse grooves, the two anterior ones are weak.

Dear professional entomologists, please help us determine what specific species this Pyrgomorpha belongs to! It is found in the Krasnodar Region of the Kuban region, inhabits not very high grass. The color is green and brown. They look identical. Can it be two different species or a male and a female?

In my opinion, this is Acrida sp.

Definitely an Acrida, not a pyrgomorph.

Thanks! I'm already ashamed of my teapot. I really wish I was an entomologist. And what does the word "sp." mean? I searched the Internet and found that there are a whole bunch of these acrids: Acrida bicolor, Acrida cinerea, Acrida conica, Acrida hungarica, Acrida antennata, Acrida oxycephala. Which one is this? For some reason, all my life I thought that akrida is a locust. It turned out to be a very cute creature. Then what is the name of the common brown locust? Now I have such a mess in my head, after I climbed in the classifications, there was a huge desire to buy an illustrated classifier for straight-winged birds, if such a thing exists.

"Acrida sp." means that it can be any species of the genus Acrida.
In general, the locust family (fillies) is called Acrididae in Latin, after the nominative genus Acrida. And "locust" in the common sense is species from the genera Locusta (most often, in English locust migratoria( Locusta migratoria), for example, it is called "locust"), Dociostaurus, Calliptamus.

Good afternoon!

There were problems with the definition of Orthoptera. Can anyone help?

On the first one-a horse from the group Ch. brunneus-Ch. biguttulus.
On the second one, it looks like Ch. apricarius.

P.S. You should still indicate where the material comes from.

Thanks! All copies are from the Moscow region.

Can't explain the visual difference between brunneus and biguttulus, there are other angles, can I see what?

Freely translated from the Czech and Slovak determinant (Kocarek, Holusa & Vidlicka, 2005).
NB. The size of insects near Moscow may vary!

1. a. The transverse groove on the pronotum is usually anterior to the middle (especially in males). The lateral keels of the pronotum are strongly angular, the ratio of the maximum distance between them in the posterior part to the minimum distance between them is 2.5:1 - 3:1. The elytra are not strongly narrowed towards the end, more than 13.5 mm. in length in males, without an expanded costal field and more than 17 mm in length in females.
------->> Ch. brunneus.

b. A transverse groove on the pronotum near the middle or slightly behind it. The lateral keels of the pronotum are less angular, the ratio of the maximum distance between them in the posterior part to the minimum distance between them is 1.75:1 - 2.5:1. The elytra are noticeably narrowed towards the end, less than 13.5 mm. in length in males, with an expanded costal field and less than 17 mm in length in females.
------->> 2.

2. a. Male elytra are rather broad (length-to-width ratio 3.5: 1-4.4:1), strongly narrowed at the end, with a wide costal margin. In females, the ratio of elytra length to width is approximately 5: 1, the costal field is wider than in males, and its maximum width is 1.5-2 times greater than the maximum width of the subcostal field.
------->> Ch. biguttulus.

b. The elytra of males are rather narrow (the ratio of length to width is 4.6: 1-5.8:1), less narrowed at the end, with a less wide costal field. In females, the ratio of elytra length to width is approximately 6: 1, the costal field is narrower than in males, its maximum width is less than 1.25 times the maximum width of the subcostal field.
------->> Ch. mollis.

In general, they are easier to distinguish by song, you can probably find various performances on the web

Thanks for the qualifier, but it's still quite difficult to distinguish between them
The song is also not easy, several individuals sing at the same time and which of them was caught in the lens is unclear... But I will try my best!

A few more links, if you don't mind:

What to do, a complex group...

The first two are also from it, the third is exactly Ch. apricarius.

Thank you, I will have to accept the inaccurate definition of

I don't know what the correct name for this creature is.
I wonder what those red plaques are on his little body.
Photo taken on the shore of Lake Baikal, in mid-august

It's not a grasshopper, it's a filly. Also, a nymph.
Red "blooms" are red-bodied mites.

This is not a nymph, but a short-winged female. But what kind of view-I can't say. Possibly one of the subspecies of Mongolotettix japonicus

Very similar. Mongolotettix japonicus vittatus (Uv.)passes through Southern Siberia. Maybe the color rendering is a little broken here in the photo, since I caught them in Tuva and Mongolia more yellowish, you can say, straw-yellow. At the same time, this species lived there in dry steppes. Where you photographed it, what are the stations?
