Twister, Tholymis tillarga?

I'm not sure it's her. She seems to have yellow spots on her wings (visible in the photo on the Internet at your link), but yours does not have them. There are quite a lot of such red dragonflies. Let's start with the size: large, medium, small (for example, compared to Neurothemis stigmatizans, which is "average" in size ?

In fact, the dragonfly is wildly similar to our European species Sympetrum meridionale, but it does not live in Australia...

I, of course, thought that red is the defining element and all red dragonflies are one.

We have such dragonflies found only near reservoirs in National Parks, quite far from housing. Everyone seems the same to the layman's eye.

Questioner: oh, I certainly thought that red is the defining element and all red dragonflies are one.

In general, my knowledge is not enough to clearly identify this dragonfly. If there were different close-ups, then it would be possible to try. And so, in the absence of field experience - I don't know. It turns out guessing.

It also seems to me that the red dragonflies on the blog at your link are also mixed up (although I may be wrong, again due to the lack of Australian experience).

Let them remain unidentified, I'll catch them in the camera with all the details and bring them here.

Experience has shown that boys have more talents for beetling.

My son arrived, and on the second day he saw a large beetle on the balcony. I caught it and gave it to my mother in a box. What a good boy.©

I will try to process the images today and show them before departure.

I hope it's a bug after all.

bronzovka, a beetle from sem. Lamellar whiskers (Scarabaeidae). Hemipharis insularis (Gory & Percheron, 1833) (Cetoniinae: Schizorhinini)

The beetle absolutely refused to sit still, kept running around the box and trying to fly away, so we were both tired as dogs. Then I decided to "make it beautiful" - plant it on flowers and make at least one romantic portrait "beetle in petunias". To my horror, the beetle failed to bring all the flowers. And when I found him to save him he was already burrowing into the ground like a mole



That's what I didn't expect from him!

A few seconds...







And now he's sitting there.

The bug!!! And what a bug!!! The most bugger of buggers!!! It is a beetle in the subfamily Cetoniinae of the family Scarabaeidae. I don't know any Australian species . Bronzovka, in a word . The fact that it burrowed into the ground is not surprising: the larvae of many bronzes develop in rotting organic remains, including in humus soil.

Lays eggs

As Dmitrich has already correctly written, this is a bronze beetle from the family. Lamellar whiskers (Scarabaeidae). Now more and more often, however, podsem. Cetoniinae (Bronzes) are promoted to the rank of family.
However, in my opinion, the beetle is called Hemipharis insularis (Gory & Percheron, 1833) (Cetoniinae: Schizorhinini).

Hooray, we'll have lots and lots of little beetles!

finally got the thing.

Well, I hope there's something else.

There's not much to brag about, I've been seeing people and urban landscapes all the time lately, and I don't see any insects at all.

Here on the forest road, crowds of ants were found (which were left out of the picture, because "well, how many ants can you photograph") and again incomprehensible holes in the ground.

"Catch" from the last trip. So-so loot, but what was caught, was caught.

2. At dusk, I saw an insect running past. Very fast.

Cockroach
It's a female, family Blattidae, probably a subfamily. Polyzosteriinae. More precisely, unfortunately, you can't tell from the photo.

10. I don't know who. It was sitting in a cave in total darkness. I noticed it by accident in the flash when I was trying to photograph bats. Here is such a creature.

That's all. I didn't see anything else in the camera, even though I was running after everything that was buzzing and crawling.

A cockroach, however.

Very interesting cave grasshopper!

My heart told me that. So when he ran in my direction, I screamed softly, but heartfelt.

Yes, I admit my mistake! A cricket indeed. Looks like this one, by the way http://www.tropicarium.ru/bredoides.htm (although, of course, the view is different).

02.12.2010 14:05, Ele-W

Yeah, so it's a cricket! Thanks!
