Insects fumigating

Good day everyone!
Tell me, and you have how the stains are arranged

The freezer is in the refrigerator. A convenient thing if you hunt butterflies at home (this is also very convenient). Philippines, Costa Rica, Africa, Europe, I've been to half the world there. I recommend. Accommodates two hundred attacuses at the same time. Bonus - the ability to get and deploy without soaking in three months.

Butterflies are always just crushed and in the envelope. Upon returning from the field, you can even put it in the freezer, even in a large container with cotton wool, controlling the absence of contact with the envelopes. But it's been a long time since I've been hitting daytime butterflies. And for other insects, I have a stain of my own original design, consisting of a non-inflated blank for a PET bottle and a small bottle of nasal drops that fits tightly into its neck. The spout of the bottle is slightly cut off. cotton wool is inserted inside, and the bottom is generously pierced with an awl. The bottle can be easily removed by grabbing the ribbed surface of the remaining part of the spout with your nails - it seems to have been specially created for this. It does not interfere with twisting the bottle cap. I think the principle and order of work is clear. The space in front of the bottle can be divided by longitudinal cardboard partitions and transverse partitions made of cotton balls, in order to prevent damage by particularly gnawing species of neighbors in the gas chamber.

Push the tipulid, eh? if we get it, we will determine it and give you photos of the species.

Faq?

and the stain is still better to show a photo..

Better than that, but I don't have time. I don't even remember where it is. If I find it by the season, I'll show it to you, if I don't forget. However, I still don't understand the meaning of your previous post. Who are tipulids, and what is characteristic of them autotomy, I know

I did not create a new topic for the sake of a single question, I did not find anything suitable. The situation is as follows: there is a toddler, already impaled on a pin, on it two or three ticks, such as often ride on copro-and necrophages. Can it be left in the box with the collection, whether these ticks will not damage it? It is alarming that the toddler himself died for some reason in the container, and was not starved.

I very much doubt that these mites can feed on dried grass. But just to be safe, why not soak the bug together with a pin in alcohol? Only do not submerge the head if it is not welded. Then ticks can be fished out of alcohol and also collected.

I wanted to ask night specialists-how to carefully collect hawk moth from the screen or wall, so that they remain in a more or less normal state, and not with a battered pronotum? I can't get the hang of doing this without damaging the skin - the insects are too shifty. ukal ammonia do when I fix, but the butterfly view is often not alle

One option is to inject ammonia directly on the wall. But this only works on a hard surface. The second option is a fairly large jar and chloroform as a chemical. Chloroform lulls and kills much faster than ethyl acetate, the butterfly does not have time to get frayed.

I strongly support the chloroform option. This is really a miracle drug. But it kills not faster than ethyl acetate, but more humanely - in chloroform vapors, insects immediately fall asleep, and in ethyl acetate vapors they fiercely fight for life to the last. Diethyl ether has similar properties to chloroform, and it is not for nothing that both of these substances, unlike ethyl acetate, were previously successfully used for human anesthesia. But it is not easy to get them, because the precursors of drugs are blacklisted.

PS Chloroform dubit, and also, in some insects, provokes the appearance of color "boiled cancer", so it is better to use it only for primary podmarivaniya, and then domarivat ethyl acetate.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a butterfly...
