It is also important whether there is a given plant in Russia. And then there will be work, let's say, on Ts. Russia, and among the fodder plants will be named some beech, or even baobab.
Then, there is a lot of work with the results of feeding caterpillars at home. And so "appear" in many species imaginary "polyphagia". After all, in nature, females lay eggs they know where (often very fastidiously), and at home the caterpillar and semolina porridge can starve to eat.
Finally, regional and local populations often have a limited range of forage plants. In central Russia, a species can be an obligate monophage, and in the Caucasus or Spain, it can also be an oligophage. And then from global compilations, if they do not contain reservations by region - one harm!

A new book has been published: Chikolovets V., Nekrutenko Yu. Day butterflies of the Caucasus and Transcaucasia". The book is dedicated to the memory of Yuri Pavlovich.
For each species, the book contains references to the original descriptions, a detailed bibliography, and a map with points of discovery. In addition, there are new sites of finds and a very brief biology.
On the color tables - photos of butterflies with a label. Lots of photos of standard instances.
At the end of the book there is an English version of the history of studying the fauna of the Caucasus from Nekrutenko 1990.
The book contains almost no systematic comments, no comparative characteristics or drawings of genitalia.
A4 format.

Last week my popular science book "Atlas of Butterflies and Caterpillars of the Crimea" was published.
The book includes several short chapters with general information about butterflies and caterpillars (and everything related to them), as well as 225 species essays, from micro to macro. The essays include a brief description of the appearance of butterflies and caterpillars, their distribution in general and within the Crimea, features of biology and ethology, and forage plants.
296 pages, 503 photos, high-quality printing, coated paper, weight 540 g.

The plantago library has recently published a survey of the burrowing wasp fauna in Kazakhstan, well illustrated by the author's photographs. Of course, you can't see all the signs to determine in the photo, but you can get a general idea of the habit, distribution and biology of the most notable species. I recommend it, and especially for beginners, in my opinion - an excellent publication for popularizing entomology and, in particular, sphecoid wasps.

V. L. Kazenas. Burrowing wasps (Type Arthropods, class Insects). Series "Animals of Kazakhstan in photos". Almaty, 2013, 160 p. (in Russian)
The book tells about interesting biological insects of the order Hymenoptera-burrowing wasps. These wasps are characterized by caring for their offspring, which consists of making a nest and preparing in separate cells of paralyzed or killed insects or spiders, feeding on which the wasp larvae develop. The book is illustrated with numerous color photographs. It is intended for schoolchildren-to expand their horizons-and for all nature lovers.
