Entomological labels

in the word they are very big get

In Word, they turn out any: it's just corny to include your head.
P. S. Previously, many of your labels were filled out by hand at all: there were no computers or Internets. And everything, everyone was satisfied. I still have a lot of such labels myself.

now, if the moth was caught at the caterpillar stage and bred to imago, then it is written
Ex larva, but what to write if I dried the caterpillar, the same?

what to write if I dried the caterpillar?

Write: "I dried the caterpillar"

now, if the moth was caught at the caterpillar stage and bred to imago, then it is written
Ex larva, but what to write if I dried the caterpillar, the same?

Do moths come out of dried caterpillars, too?

now, if the moth was caught at the caterpillar stage and bred to imago, then it is written
Ex larva.

For example, it is written like this: "Specimen collected as nymph of middle age; imago in
May 2011". This, of course, is not the entire label, but part of it.

not funny

not funny

?

This was an example from the publication - how to briefly write a label if an insect was collected by a larva and brought to an adult in a cage. "The specimen was collected by a middle-aged larva, faded to adult in May 2011." As they say, cross out the excess, enter the missing.

and I'm not for you)

Ex larva, what if I dried the caterpillar, the same thing?

"Ex larva" means that the butterfly is derived from the caterpillar. If the caterpillar was collected in nature and then dried, then it is not necessary to write "Ex larva".
But, if the caterpillar was hatched from the egg, then it is written "Ex ovo".

What can't you do for society?
Here is a sample of my entomological labels - developed by myself (how much work I spent)!! To the right in an empty square vertically (insert vertical numbers there - and then change them, I did not succeed). Write the date with a black (!) capillary pen (oil branded fountain pens are also good): year, below the Arabic date and Roman month. I enclose the photo.

The font size can be varied.

this is if large fees are collected in one place, and if I catch in the wrong place many times a year-dacha, house, etc., then I leave the field with the number clean and print a lot of labels, and then enter the number with a pen, as Oleg wrote, it is better to "firm" kapilyarka-nothing is washed off, I tried everything available I need fluids. there is also such a topic as rapidograph, but I was told about them in one ear, and flew out of the other. you need to choose the diameter, I think 0.25, then the ink is water-resistant. previously yuzali "heron" St. Petersburg insoluble seem? (well, who drew, he will say more correctly...I say the brain is full of holes.....) tk firm was expensive and rare, and now I look in all normal stationery is. I want to buy it myself, if anyone had any experience, please share it.

Oh, what you can't do for society-here are my labels for you, I developed them myself - write vertically in a square with a black (!) capillary pen (branded oil products are also good): year, below Roman month and Arabic date.

You can vary the font size , but leave the selection to make it more visible.

Be careful with capillary pens, the ink is very unstable (at least those that I have encountered) - a drop of any liquid can make the text unreadable.

... now there are liners or respheders of 0.2 mm. czech Republic, etc. - expensive, but weighty and comfortable...

I came to the conclusion that it is best to write data (date, etc.) with a thin, simple (hard) pencil. The most reliable and accurate in my opinion.

this works current with cheap Chinese, and with a normal kapilyarkoy such tricks do not pass, I soaked them in gasoline and water and alkali-well, so that for sure no one takes them.
Who used rapidographs?!!! OW! in the early 2000s, the whole ZIN was written by them, or did no one have anything to do with this thing? draftsmen/architects?
the laser tag should be with very good ink and on the right paper, otherwise everything will crumble. of course, it is good to print 1000 labels, but how long will they live????

vasiliy-feoktistov and that's right, the Americans made a whole institute chob to develop a pen for space, and ours do not worry - they write with a pencil! I use it myself, but only "tm"

Return move:
My favorite for almost a decade is a pencil (0.5 mm lead)
The main thing is to choose so that the lead does not wobble. And it is easy to correct just on paper by "shading" a little. I like it best.

Golden words! On good paper (with glossy or tracing paper, graphite is sometimes washed off), the pencil is almost eternal, and if it is washed off or erased, then under the binocular the inscription can be seen by scratches on the paper.

I've been using rotring for a long time. I used them for 10 years, until they were completely destroyed. Then I tried different companies and ... switched to regular gel pens! If the result is the same, then why pay more? The most difficult thing in this case is to choose several pens of different calibers. IMHO, the inscription on the handle absolutely does not correspond to anything, you need to go to the store with paper to try before buying.

As far as I know, the problem of shedding letters is relevant only for labels in the retainer. I try to write/duplicate them as much as possible with a pencil.

So in the old manuals it is directly written - the field diary/laboratory journal is filled in with a pencil!

Varlam Shalamov has written well about graphite in the Kolyma Stories, remember, the larch is there... The thing is eternal. Although I'm currently printing it out on a lasernik plus rapidograph. Alcohol-in pencil.

I prefer a laser printer + very thick paper.

And the Pindos in life see nothing to do but "invent bicycles" They Zazhralis in the end.

They only drew them like that

According to the classics of geodesy, all drawings are drawn by incom (not those incas that are registered in Latin America and I ask you not to confuse them with Incombank). Moreover only the back of the pen is submerged in inc

Write: Caught on the www site...

Insects from a culture can be of great value, for example, for morphological research, especially as a supplement to "natural" ones.

I wrote so in the article "... in addition, specimens from the culture supported in the Moscow Zoo".

And on the labels I usually write something like: "St. Petersburg, January 2012, from the culture of so-and-so".

please explain what the abbreviation leg means. on geographical labels?

caught. and det. on definitives - determined

I have a question.
Recently, I decided to sort out my butterfly collection, collected in the 70s. There is nothing very interesting about it - mostly the Moscow region, the Saratov region and a little bit of Crimea. In my opinion, the collection has no scientific value. Some of them have not been preserved, and some of them have a completely "marketable" appearance. All the butterflies have numbers on them, and the time, date, and place of capture are recorded in the notebook.
So, does it make sense to make normal labels on the preserved material, or do not bother?

The label is an "insect passport" and it is needed in any case. Label the entire collection whenever possible, regardless of the value and condition of the material. This is extremely important!!!

In my opinion, the collection has no scientific value. Some of them have not been preserved, and some of them have a completely "marketable" appearance.

Scientific value = labels.
The marketability of the type does not matter in principle.
If you throw off a list of Crimean species in your personal account, I would be grateful.

- and where exactly in the Saratov region was collected? Do you have any photos??

- how many times I was convinced that even in the "overwhelming" collection there may well be VERY interesting material! But, here's the general problem-the label is either not there or so primitive that even the author himself often cannot decipher it... Keeping the collection safe is another topic... You can't imagine how insulting it is to sort out a collection of insects that has been eaten or rotted (in mold) - if the species can still be distributed without a label, this is a WASTE of TIME and effort...

So, does it make sense to make normal labels on the preserved material, or do not bother?

They ask me about the labels, and I answer them:

1. The most convenient font for Ariel labels.
2. It is better to highlight letters in bold for clarity.
3. In principle, the font size can be easily changed even in one label,
Here you can see my changes in labels:

- fees should be photographed and shown on the forum-suddenly you have izofia from near Saratov or Lucilla from Khopra or Medveditsy...

WITHOUT AN ENTOMOLOGICAL LABEL, FEES HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC VALUE. Alas!..

Thank you to everyone who responded!
2 okoem - I'll send you the list later, when I figure it out a little myself)))
2 Penzyak-there will definitely be photos. Did you leave the label field under the date? Don't enter it right away?

I, personally, for my area on the computer filled cliche (table in word) just a lot (label size 20x8 mm.) and left an empty field for the date, which I write in a simple pencil when I pin the label under the insect on a pin.

2 Penzyak-there will definitely be photos.

- we will be grateful!

- yes, look just above the post - there is a photo of the completed label.

In all recommendations for vintage labels, you are asked to fill in black ink. In the 90's, I wrote for several years (I specially got thin feathers - I used Moscow ink), of course, it's beautiful and bright, BUT alas and ah-it takes a lot of time... In Soviet times, labels were often written with a chemical pencil (for example, our collector Shlykov).

I do everything in Korel. Beautiful, clear and easy to reproduce. need 2 labels-will be 2. Need 2000 - will be 2000. In 2 button presses

Who cares: my version of labels. I also prefer a Word.

In my opinion, your labels are too big, although they are suitable for non-small butterflies. And you have a lot of unnecessary information, such as: Goloseevsky district; Goloseevsky forest-the district did not have to be specified at all; or - Pechersky district; bot. garden of the NAS named after N. N. Grishka - what difference does it make to whom the garden is named? Coordinates are certainly a good thing, but why specify " GPS:"?
I myself use Word for writing, acid-free paper and preferably a good inkjet printer - the most durable and reliable. The labels are small, since the objects of my classes are small, space is saved, but all the information fits on the main and environmental label.
For example, I show you a few of my labels.

Ink from an inkjet printer tends to blur... It is better to use a laser printer and a black gel pen. Even if it is necessary to remount either in water or in an alcohol solution, the text does not float (checked repeatedly, although I still replace the label because the paper "leads")

On the label:
Russia, Orenburg region, Svetlovsky district, Yalpi village, temporary reservoir 2.5 m without vegetation, 02.05.1967, V. Grama
, Svetlinsky district. The place is interesting!
