Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

  
Perhaps I got to the wrong place where beginners are helped, not considering it shameful. Then I would like to find out the places where they can correct you, without using OMERTA.

You shouldn't have said that, dear PWM. The people here (on the forum) are very responsive. But, indeed, now is a "hot time": most of the forum participants, I believe, spend their "free" time in the "fields". This is - on the one hand. On the other hand, as cosine rightly pointed out, your beetle is not one of those that can be determined with "certainty" from a photograph.

PWM, really in vain. Here, difficult insects (and your ground beetle is one of them) can hang undefined for years: especially from the photo.
There are even separate themes for such types:
By beetles
On butterflies
Pay attention because sometimes insects "hang" there and no one is offended.

Many thanks for your responsiveness dear Justus!
I myself realized that July is not a good month to ask such questions on this forum. I just want the collection to have not only geographical labels, but also specific ones. Otherwise, it's kind of short... in any case, for me - a pedant.
I have already read the entomological part of it (the forum) by 70-80 percent and continue to read further as far as possible.
No matter how hard it is to understand, the peak of its (forum) activity occurs in the first two or three years (2006-2008). Then everything more or less settles down and information is exchanged between the main forum participants ( this is about 10-20 percent). There's nothing wrong with that. This is an approximate schedule for the development of fairly narrowly focused (highly specialized) forums, which this one also is (regardless of "smoking rooms", "garbage dumps", and other fludilok).
I am very sorry that I am not familiar with any St. Petersburg entomologist, to whom I could freely give the collected material for identification, in return offering services for the repair /maintenance of his equipment for collecting material (lighting, inverters, generators, etc.). I have more than 40 years of experience in the specialty (electronics and radio engineering). years... But perhaps this is a topic for another topic...
Thank you all!

Vasily, thank you for your answer! I'm not offended. This is just the cry of a soul that is hungry for knowledge.
I knew it wasn't a simple bug because of the silence that followed my question. I just want to be poked in any part of my body, what should I do next with these things, in which direction to dig/dig. What kind at least does it belong to относится...
РЅ Questioner: I love and try to do everything myself, so you can better understand the situation. But guidance never gets in the way...

Dear PWM,
Don't stop at identifying a single bug. If it is difficult, then it is better to move on to another one, otherwise you can sit with one for a year. I have been identifying one nutcracker for 3 years (((It looks very similar to Amara (Amara) aenea. But it would be necessary to drive on the keys.

your beetle is definitely not from Poecilus, and this is Amara of course, I join all the above. Experts smakhu determine so here is on photo like until there is no on Forum, wait, think they respond, here people for this and sits, that would each other help, today you, tomorrow you. Besides, everyone benefits. Anyone who knows the species, notes new places of capture, is also a great benefit!

Dear cosine, Well, how can the nutcracker be like Amara? This is even a completely different family: Elateridae, and Amara is from ground beetles. Yes, and in appearance they differ.

You misunderstood. That is, I misspelled ((Your bug looks like Amara =)) But it needs to be walked by keys

Eugene, thank you for your answer! Of course, we will wait, especially since there is something else to do in terms of determining the fees of this summer. Yes, and there is a lot of unread literature...

Sorry, I was confused by this phrase: I have been defining one nutcracker for 3 years (((It looks very similar to Amara (Amara) aenea. But it would be necessary to drive on the keys.
Sincerely,
Vladimir.

About Amara. It is similar to spreta. The indentations on the pronotum are strong, and, importantly, paired. On similata, too, pozhozha habitually, but the mustache, like, is not so colored.
Not aenea, no. It's more like a spreta, the wrong color. Take a look at Kryzhanovsky. And, generally speaking, amar should not be identified from photos.

Maxim, thank you! I'll try to dig in this direction. As for the color, this photo is of such quality, sorry, digital soap box... The DSLR is still under repair, so I can't take more or less acceptable photos. I understand that it is difficult to determine from photos (especially from such ones), but before blowing endophallus, I still feel like the moon. And there is not too much literature available yet. True "green" part 2 downloaded, trying to understand it. And even without Khan's microscope... It is in the purchase priority list.

Well, you should not scold the soap dish, probably just, in the direct light of beetles, shooting is not an easy task, often ungrateful. Glare, incorrect color, everything is bad with the sculpture, and saving an over-illuminated object in the photo editor is again not easy and not always possible. Endophallus in real amara is certainly possible to blow, and probably even necessary, but they are boring and almost never help in determining them - there are no consolidated works involving such signs (all in the accumulation stage).
Help a series of correctly identified beetles in collections. Well, and experience, of course, when you know what to look at. And still, sometimes you make a mistake, or you don't know how to sign - the amars are harsh and don't owe us anything Good Luck!

Hello.Here such a beetle fell into the compost pit.Can anyone help determine.

Maybe someone from Parandrini. I can't say for sure but it looks like

Hello! Tell me, please, what kind of sawyere?

The common Spondylis buprestoides is a short-whiskered barbel.

For Pliss A, maybe it's Stenurella melanura. I've seen them in Altai

I believe Rhantus sp.

What kind of bug is this? He sat down on his hand and began to bite like a mosquito, plunging his proboscis.

Ukraine, Fedotov Spit.

exactly males of Stenurella can be melanura, and maybe bifasciata, if there are beetles, you need to look at the belly from below in bifasciata it is red in males

Help identify beetles from Ilovli, found in July of this year, and please look at the Moscow region (at least bronze) from URL #13122

No, not bembidion. Look at the item Patrobus

No, not bembidion. Take a look at the Patrobus item

Thank you very much! He didn't stick to Bambi at all."..
It remains to choose one of the three patrobuses.

Thank you all in advance.

Most likely Lixus myagri Olivier, 1807

Most likely Lixus myagri Olivier, 1807

Myagri is usually light gray with dark stripes on the pronotum... And then there's a strange yellow color. But the subgenus, yes, is Eulixus exactly, the tails are visible!

N-duc, he's covered in pollen all over (from head to toe), and that's why he's yellow.

It would be necessary to wash it

By the way, they often wear such a positive and sunny outfit.
