I decided to continue the forgotten topic with five views from my places:
M. O. Balashikha district of Zheleznodorozhny district.
1) Upis ceramboides Linnaeus, 1758-20.06.2008, on a birch tree.
2) Bolitophagus reticulatus Linnaeus, 1767-14.09.1997, in tinder boxes.
3) Diaperis boleti Linnaeus, 1758-03.05.2002, in tinder boxes.
4) Opatrum sabulosum Linnaeus, 1761-26.04.2001, on a field road.
5) Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, 1758-26.07.2009, in the light, in the evening.

Well, a couple of desert views:
1) Blaps faustii Seidlitz, 1893? (L=39mm.) Turkmenistan, Karakum mountains. 25.11.2000г.
2) Erodius (Dirosis) barbarus Solier, 1834? (L=14mm.) Egypt, Luxor
04.04.1997 P.S. The definition is approximate because I do not know them (I only know our species).
Can someone fix it? In general, I want to open a separate topic on the definition of blackbirds (at the most some number of species is uncertain).
How do you feel about this?

In general, I want to open a separate topic on the definition of blackbirds (at the most some number of species is uncertain).

I don't think this is appropriate. The topic "identifying beetles" is quite enough. The topic "Definition of ground beetles of the genus Carabus" is objectively necessary due to the peculiarity of this group (here there is a variety, and the presence of a large number of subspecies, forms, variations, etc., and the increased interest of many collectors in these beetles, etc.). If you follow this path, then you need to open separate branches "Definition of elephants", "Definition of leaf eaters" and so on., which, in my opinion, will lead to overload and confusion. But this is just my personal opinion.

...Egypt, Luxor 11.12.1999..


It would be interesting to read the fishing report.

I didn't catch them (they sometimes bring them to me), so, alas, I can't write anything.
I can only add that the animals are from archaeological sites

Interesting)
Actually, I asked the question-do I really think that during the time that tourists usually devote to Luxor, it was possible to meet so many beetles?
