You are welcome! Mine are also there - there are a lot of mine there

Such T-shirts are now found in many places in the steppe (eastern part of the Crimea. The size is about 1.5-2 cm. What kind of animal?

Looks like I'm dead to you

The akulich-sibiria:

I do not understand what signs can lead to Melanophtalma sp. "there's a bit of a mess with the hip lines. I don't understand this sign myself...

1. something probably from the thyroid gland (Ostomatidae)? - Mycetophagus is the most honest, but I won't risk the appearance.
4. it seems like Tetratoma, but what happens besides the T/ancora species? - the ID of the Far East mentions some unknown species from Western Siberia and the Far East. It's better to look there.

To okoem:
Oh, damn those T-shirts... I don't like them for something

We consulted omar here and determined this animal as Meloe (Treiodous) autumnalis by the method of scientific poking.

For Ukraine, this T-shirt is specified. But I would still be damned, because the Crimea is still...

Oh, thank you, definitely her!..
Is there a list of beetles in the Crimea or Ukraine somewhere in nature?

Oh, and I would be damned, and a lot!

To evk & rpanin: Sorry for the delay-the Internet wasn't working. I return to the Transcarpathian pterostichus. I looked it up for melas: the pronotum is really very similar, but the episternes of the posterior thorax of melas are even shorter and narrower, and there are 2 setae on the ribs... Both instances that I have have three bristles in the third gap.

No, I'll PASS! Something Central European. I also wrote that there is a certain Pt. hungaricus, indicated just for the extreme west of the former. Union and close to melas. But I've never seen him.

2 arulich-sibiria
1. - Mycetophagus ater. It is about 5-6 mm (approximately like M. quadripustulatus and similar in shape) and unicolored black-brown. Quite a rare animal...

I totally agree with you!!! I ran it through the keys, and I'm just getting out on ater.Thanks!

Good evening. Here are a few more beetles. Quite a lot of questions about staphylins. I tried to deal with them, something is going too hard. Tell me at least the genus
Caught in the Krasnoyarsk territory. Pine forest.
1. what do I think is something from the genus Tachinus??




2. another staphylin

3. pterostichus. Maybe magus or ehnbergi....tell me

Staphylinae are definitely not Tachinus. I think both are from the Quedius family.

Yes, both Quedius, the second one seems to be even from sensu stricto, the necessary signs are not visible.
Is the pterostichus not from Bothriopterus by any chance? Or is it just my imagination?

A beetle from the Crimea.

Not from Bothriopterus definitely. A Siberian pterostichus for me "Terra incognita"

Egorus:
Cavemen are cool!

Here is such a bug flew to the light on July 14 of this year, Volgograd region, Mikhailovka

Here is such a bug flew to the light on July 14 of this year, Volgograd region, Mikhailovka

It seems to be Lichenophanes varius Illiger (Hoods-Bostrichidae). Did not catch in the area

I didn't catch it in the region

Wow, and I, as always, the copy is not pritaranil

And a few more carabidas.

1. Laemostenus ? (Cryptoxenus) koeppeni (Motshulsky). Middle tibia with a brush of golden hairs, front-without notches and bristles on the lower-posterior edge. According to the" green " determinant, this leads to koeppeni (Motshulsky), but the elytra are clearly cast blue, which makes us doubt the correctness of the definition. I came to the campfire late in the evening in the beech forest.
Crimea, Maly Babulgan gorge, 3.05.2009
Length 15 mm

2. Laemostenus sp. Middle tibia with a brush of golden hairs, anterior-with notches and 6 setae on the lower-posterior edge, elytra with a purple tint.
South Azerbaijan, Tylysh, Palikesh, 2000 m 6.06.2001
Length 19 mm

3. Laemostenus sp. The smallest specimen from the same series.
South Azerbaijan, Tylysh, Palikesh, 2000 m 6.06.2001
Length 14 mm

4. Lindrothius ? praestans Heyden, 1885
З. Kavkaz, Arkhyz, Psysh river bank, 1000 m. 30.08.2008
Length 13 mm

Yes, most likely everything is right for you, if everything is so with the bristles-denticles. Only it is called Laemostenus (Prystonychus) sericeus tauricus Dejean 1828 (=koeppeni Motshulsky). And I saw a bluish sheen in ex. of this type.

Not from Bothriopterus definitely. And Siberian pterostiches are "Terra incognita"for me

And what do you need to see to be sure of it?..And where can you find good defining tables for them? Unfortunately, there are only a few instances. So of course it would send them for confirmation. Besides, Shilenkov.

good evening. Can you tell me if this is one of the leaf beetles of the genus Phatora sp?
I was confused that there are actually no rows of dots on the elytra, almost full house

Yes, there are no tables for Siberian languages. At least, I do not know.
And Victor, of course, is best of all.

Not Plagiodera versicolora?

Similar!! I chased this bug away in Medvedev. I was confused by the hypothesis that Plagiodera has a roller on the elytra without dots, like Chrysomela...what I didn't find...And so very similar, devil! :-)
Thanks Alexey

1st venustus?

1st venustus?

So there, according to the Author of the post, a brush of hairs!

I trained to shoot with a "reverse lens", and in passing
I shot such a scene. Is it possible to use this image to determine
who eats a mosquito?
(South of Ukraine 11.06.2009)

the first time I see that cantharis carnivorous they also seem to be in colors more ))

Cantharis livida.

At the same time, he did not just eat it, but "filled it up" himself, and
devoured it with great greed.
I apologize for the almost repetition, but here it is better to see
that the beetle on the mosquito is not just stumbled, namely eats.

Hello! Please help me deal with aphodia from the Moscow region.
All 3 beetles are made from cow poop. Date of capture and size below:
1) 26.05.1997 g. length-10 mm.
2) 11.06.1997 g. length-9,5 mm.
3) 05.08.2000 g. length-7 mm.

2. Aphodius depressus (Kugelann, 1792) may be

I agree on 1 and 2. 3 signs are not visible!

Here's another photo #3 just in case. What are the signs? Do you have any suspicions?

Yes, there would be suspicions if there was a native south-eastern fauna
And so a lot of details are needed that are simply not visible in a photo of this quality - I think someone from Muscovites will figure it out faster.

The third Aphodius from the group rufus Moll. There you need to look at the tops of the elytra-shiny or matte and some other signs (I don't remember...) Actually, aphodia is still quite a group to define...
