Insect images: receiving, processing, etc.

I figured out the background lightening myself (in photoshop), the rest of the questions remain valid

"Or maybe," she said, " this scan!" - Did you try to photograph them at all?
- I understand that super-specialists use all sorts of tricky gadgets , but try it! "it will only get better.
You just need to shoot on a tripod, and in the "M" mode, and in the "live view", so that the exposure can be clearly edited. You can also try it in "gipega". And don't exceed the diffraction limit (find out what it is). Use the flash only with a diffuser. Play around with the white balance. Strengthen the insect purely perpendicular. Also, try experimenting with bracketing.
- And the blurriness, maybe from the fact that the scanner settings can adjust the depth of field?
And another thing: - the depth of field segment from the focus point will always be more far away than towards itself.
And you can even do without a macro lens if you have 70-300.

I also love insects very much, want to learn more insect things, then feel good also have the opportunity to take a step of deep research

Dear experts, tell me, please, what is this interesting insect? met several times in the fields of wheat and rapeseed, on the roadsides in the Odessa region.

Vest.

Today, in the corridor of the academic building, under the feet of students(almost crushed), I managed to pick up a strange insect - I've never caught such insects.
It can't fly, and its right wing is damaged. Gave a drop of bee honey-uses.

This is Cimbex, but in this topic - offtop, as well as T-shirt. Go better to the topic "Definition of hymenoptera".

Forumchane, there is a rare butterfly "Heliconia Erato" looks like this, http://vbm.su/gelikoniya_erato.php in the dry state, the wings are almost folded, how to straighten them without breaking ?

Why did you delete the Ennominae topic?

Please tell me-what kind of book is this (a sheet from it); and is there a link to its electronic version that can be downloaded?

It looks like Jacobson, I'll look at page 113, then I'll tell you for sure.

Good time of day.!! Please help me identify the caterpillar(see photo). It is about 10 cm long. Muzzle looks like an alligator)))(I myself am shocked by this comparison). Sorry if it's in the wrong section. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Caterpillar of the middle wine hawkmoth

Interesting project. Micrographs of insects.
Website address: microsculpture.net
And the book came out. Of course, it's more art than science.

Use the links on the page to download PDF copies of all five volumes.
Or on the Zinovsky site itself, all the color tables are in good quality (not all ice tables are in the original PDF).

Question about the image from https://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/rus/rtttab0.htm
There are vertical lines next to the insect images. What's it? Some kind of scale ruler? What are they equal to? There were also crosses (in the biology of Central America, for example, the vertical line is crossed out by a horizontal one).

hello everyone. In the summer, I found a caterpillar when I was picking blueberries, managed to turn it into a cocoon and put it in the refrigerator on the shelf,I read how to grow it here on the site... And just recently, 4 days ago, I came out of the cocoon, I was shocked that I got out so early.And okay, I put it in a terrarium, chattered every night, waited for the male apparently. Now again in shock, laid eggs even without a male. Probably there is no chance to save future caterpillars. Why did you get up early? she should get up at the end of April.. I identified it as peacock eye malaya

it's already overdue..you won't get a response..you can't even ask on this site..

I didn't see anything like this on your link, but the description looks like the designation of the body length (vertical line) and wingspan (horizontal line) of an insect. You apply a ruler to them and these secrets are revealed. Works only for paper books or properly formatted image files.

In general, a strange topic with a large hodgepodge of posts - it is not surprising that they are rarely answered.

I looked at the very first one (like the best one?) the image is a very mediocre stacking result with eye-catching artifacts. Eduardo Modolo gets a Strong fi from me!
