Sergey thank you for your pleasure!

Some dubious expression "Good selection" somehow cuts the ear, usually this expression is applied to publications, music or video works.
When you catch many specimens with "sweat and blood", sometimes in terrible conditions, and not all catocals just fly and land on the screen, but you need to come up with various tricks to catch them... Slava, did you want to tease me or did you put it badly? Can you tell me where else I can "pick up" the missing copies? And by the way, where is your good selection of thin shells, really interesting to see.

Why the dubious expression??) I didn't want to tease anyone. My selection of thin shells is still standing and waiting for me to have time to shoot it as soon as possible, so immediately!

Here, I think, show cerur.
There, Seryozha's order is still far away. ))

I dismantled the last box before the start of the new season. Mottled spilarctins. There are some good views.

  Chelotrupes - all types [attachmentid ()=239493]

It is interesting to see when so many new species are being discovered among the rather noticeable and large beetles now (and this is not long ago), and even in Europe.

I'm talking about these, if anything:

Here is a small part of my collection.I just started doing it.

A good start is half the battle, says the proverb.

a couple of packs of needles No. 1 and No. 3 + even if not a" pro straightener", but just foam. and everything will work out the main thing is to write geographical labels!

Insect: in barbels, the antennae should be set parallel to the body.

Agolius - Coptochiroides - Nobius..............................

sg. Nobius I am interested in other types of buying, exchanging

please do not kick for the quality of the photo altitsiny FINALLY did not work out
rough version of leaf beetles of the Tambov region
Tambov region only, Male/female only; variations, forms, subspecies, regions-will be in a different format. free space for those who have yet to be caught

Fees 2016! Part from Greece, part from Moscow region.

Special thanks to Roman Gortovanny for the suitcase with straighteners!

Very useful item!

I finally broke the milestone of 500 species in the collection! It took 5 years.

On joy decided povyveshivat part of the available. Chur, we don't comment on funny "Russian" names. This is for a less prepared audience and for kids))

I'm a lousy photographer, don't blame me:

If anyone has any suspicions about incorrect definitions , I will be happy to investigate and correct them.

The concept is very original, not everyone here will approve. But it was done very carefully and looks just great. Beauty!

If everything was arranged according to families, it would be cooler...I don't know about you, but I think so...

By family - this is from another opera.
This is a collection of large beautiful beetles, so it was born in the imagination of the author and the idea was executed simply brilliantly. If it's not some kind of Photoshop. Although Photoshop is so weak.
Speaking of aesthetics. All beetles are chipped. The glue guys are crying their eyes out!!

You know, most people still think that it is better to glue, properly spread the paws (press them closer to the body) and arrange the beetles into families.

It is clear that this is a matter of taste and a sense of proportion for all raznoe

It would be interesting to see a collection of beetles spread out sideways, upside down, or with their wings spread out....

Everything was predictable, except for this unexpected "accusation"))) Finally found the time to fight back: here, look, quite a real box:



Although, I confess, in order to plan the arrangement in the box in advance, I actively use the graphic program.

Of course, all this is completely "unscientific", and I do the collection just to please the eye, do not blame me.

In particular, I think it is completely pointless to argue that a pin sticking out from above is "more correct" than a piece of paper sticking out from the side, and vice versa))). In essence, this is not aesthetics at all, but naked pragmatics. Everyone has the right to choose, and it is obvious that I have already made my choice.

In addition, it just so happened that I initially adhered to the principle of collecting a collection in pairs of M+W from each type. As it turned out later, the principle is quite rare, although very fascinating. And when you have not 1, and not 10, but rather strictly 2 beetles of each species, you inevitably begin to think about a certain "geometric" form of making boxes. Which is exactly what happened to me. And this automatically makes it impossible to group beetles by family, stupidly because of the difference in size.

And just to make everyone giggle: having bought a relatively valuable beetle glued to the die at the fair, I really get a perverse pleasure, removing it from the block, spreading its paws to the sides and sticking the point into it, imagining the groans of horror of respected colleagues)))))))

Photos of examples:

Photo from the side/bottom - you can turn the beetle over on a pin and take a picture of it.
And where are the straightened belly to the top? or sideways? and so and glued to the die. or impaled...

for fun and I'm interested to see this collection. but is there one?..

For STG
, the charges of photoshop are removed, especially since they did not exist. Go ahead!

They usually do this...A series of beetles is traditionally spread out, and next to it the beetle is inverted or with its wings spread out...If, for example, the belly is iridescent, such as in goldfish, or the bottom is multicolored, such as in racehorse

One small question: why is the male Carabus cealatus impaled between the elytra?

One small question: why is the male Carabus cealatus impaled between the elytra?

I just imagined it:



Carabus caelatus ssp. schreiberi (Kraatz, 1887), M+W, 35-38 mm, 24.07.2015, Croatia, Plitvice lakes, beech forest, h 500.
But the intravital color they after moreniy/urination noticeably podutratili (((Males were noticeably bluer, and females are purple (((

One small question: why is the male Carabus cealatus impaled between the elytra?

Yes, it is normally impaled - in the right elytra, as it should be. Just taken at this angle, that's what it seems.
P.S. While I was writing, they already answered.

Dr. Freud, awww!

Alexey, you must agree that a lot of work has been done! Sasha, until recently, generally put in his collection ONLY what he caught himself! He followed me from Moscow to catch some beetles in the Voronezh Region-that's saying something. A person is deprived of "academic blinders" and makes his collection the way he wants it to be. Who doesn't like it-don't look And healthy banter is fine

Sasha, until recently, generally put in his collection ONLY what he caught himself!

And rightly so! And the collection is very nice!
