By the way, there is a separate subforum - "Images of insects" - why not use it?

In principle, you can. I have a series of photos of straight-winged insects for 2010. I can post them there. But if I did this right away, I would probably not be able to communicate about the morphology, geographical distribution, and biology of the individual taxonomic groups I am interested in.

As it seemed to me, this page is a scientific forum. And "Insect images" are more likely just for nature lovers, who are not even interested in the name of the species, let alone the systematic position. You can't learn much there. And according to the meme, very few people visit it.

And yet-many of my photos are not very beautiful. But they are informative in terms of morphology. As I think, they should not be viewed for aesthetic pleasure. Moreover, many people are shocked by the photos of so many dead animals. Some people have a reaction in the form of anger and anger. But if you are not interested in the aesthetic aspect, but in the anatomical structure of animals, then you can view them with great benefit. It's like dissecting a corpse in a morgue for training purposes.

You're right about that, too. It turns out that both here and there the photo gallery , it seems, is not quite in place. Maybe I should start a separate topic - "Online Atlas of straight-winged birds" - and let the moderators think about which subforum to post it in, in "Images" or in "Classification".

Yes, you can. I'm just afraid that if I participate in this topic alone, it will have the lowest rating on the site. But winter is still ahead. I didn't catch anything new, but I would like to talk about my favorite topic. In general, my photos for 2010 have almost exhausted themselves. All that was interesting-everything was laid out. Only the most common banals remained: Acrida ungarica, Tetrix tenuicornis, Conocephalus discolor, Decticus albifrons, Tesselana vittata, Oecanthus pellucens, Oedipoda coerulescens, Phaneroptera nana, Phaneroptera nana. I will definitely not post them - these types are so definitely out of place here. So now I'll just keep an eye out for new messages. If I catch something new , I will consult on the forum if I doubt the accuracy of the definition.

For that matter, I will also post photos of the eppiger that I have, but I don't seem to care about the main features for distinguishing the view. But there are some really" unique " photos ...
Finds of this mysterious for me were in the Kiev, Zhytomyr regions, oddly enough, I never found it on the left bank. I assume that it settles in most coniferous forests, but how even more zagdochnee prefers forests with a certain form of vegetation! It's hard to remember... It lives on shrubs and trees. And as it turned out, this is mostly a forest species. I met them: near the Kiev reservoir (Lyutezh), in the Zhytomyr region near the city of Malin, Shchebzavod, Irsha.
Males and females sing. I've identified the view correctly, haven't I? Grape ephippiger. Photos for comparison with verrucivorus, females on the side and bottom, males in the environment, habitat and fishing. This year was not very lucky, everyone climbed the trees because of the rains

The time has come. I bought crickets on the "Bird". I felt like a sucker. They don't eat anything, they don't drink anything, they just die. Predimago. Bought forty - eight now. They will die steadily in the cold , and even faster in the warm. Dybki don't want to eat them. The seller said that "banana". But I don't think he knows who the bananas are. It's time to find out who it is, now there are only photos of nymphs. Adults are full-winged, up to 3 cm. It is not known what they are fed there. If I get an imago , I'll post it. Any chance to determine? Maybe it's brownies? If you need other angles - it will be done! I will try to squeeze out the maximum quality. In the photo, the cage is 0.5 cm.

And they don't eat hamarus, and cabbage, and parsley, apples and pears, too. It is not very funny, because the field crickets that I took in nature gave offspring and now there are many larvae that are very unpretentious to food, and live quietly.

There were almost no problems with the maintenance of natural right-winged birds, and if there were, then the reason was clear. And with these, I can't understand

anything at all . If there were no problems, then I would not post my questions here! I have my suspicions about those who sell them.
So far, the most resilient ones have remained, maybe something will happen, and the next generation will be normal. I was generally interested in the VIEW, but it looks like I'll have to search on my own.

Dichelima, I have photos of interesting locusts, I can post them!

Great! Let's! It's been a long time since anyone posted anything new.

2DanMar: You know, you can probably say for sure that the seller "processes" his crickets before selling them in some way-so that they remain edible for pets, all die within a week (you have to have time to sell them), and buyers can not reproduce them at home (you have to have time to sell them). so that they can continue to be bought). Although I can't find out exactly what method the seller uses, but most likely-feeds them special toxins that kill insects slowly, but do not affect those animals that will feed on them. Here, perhaps, you should explain to the seller that you need a group of viable males and females to breed them at home. Probably, the price will be higher.
