I remind you that if something is incorrectly signed, the words are not the same or in the wrong order, then please tell me! And then I'm still a bug specialist.

I love beetles. Kept broncos (native and tropical) and rhinos for years...

I love beetles. Kept broncos (native and tropical) and rhinos for years...

I didn't keep anyone and I'm terribly afraid of many insects , but at the same time I love them all, they are insanely interesting and beautiful. It's a pity that I'm some unlucky beetle, I rarely find them.

On the website www.discoverwildlife.com I found a picture very similar to mine



signed "Yellow-banded Ichneumon Wasp"

So I signed " Pimplinae, Lissopimpla sp., Yellow-banded Ichneumon Wasp." Correct or remove/add something?

Returning to the hymenoptera
in this picture, just like you, not Lissopimpla, but Echthromorpha agrestoria (Swederus, 1787) - Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae
Your picture is definitely better!

Thank you for the great photos that reveal the Australian fauna to many. I had never expected to see riders here, who rarely get caught in the lens, and suddenly-a pleasant surprise!

A little bit about hymenoptera, where this rider belongs.
This group is divided into 2 sub-groups:
Symphyta - Sessile-bellied (which includes sawflies and horntails) and
Apocrita - Stalk - bellied-various wasps, ants, bees, and horsemen.
Stalk-bellied insects, in turn, are divided into Stinging (Aculeata) and Parasitic (Parasitica). That is, the wasps will be more closely related to bees than to the more primitive horsemen, which are called parasitic wasps (Parasitoid wasps).

Then it is Latin, because many taxa do not have Russian names.
Superfamily-Ichneumon oidea-the ending is always like this!
Family-Ichneumon idae
Subfamily-Pimplinae
Sometimes they use a more fractional taxon "Tribe" - Pimpl ini-ending-ini
Well, and then the name of the species follows, from Linnaeus consisting of 2 words:
Genus (always capitalized) and species, for example, Homo sapiens
In scientific papers, to avoid misinterpretation, indicate the author who described this species, and the year when it was made. Parentheses in this case indicate that the species was originally described in a different genus.
If the type cannot be set, write Genus species-abbreviated as sp.

Another rider from podsem. Ophioninae most likely belongs to the genus Enicospilus or Dicamptus - there are a lot of species, and without a copy in your hands it is hardly possible to establish its specific affiliation.

I went to your page-there in osakh (on page 3) was there a bee hovering over a red flower?

Ale, nameless butterfly #1-in my opinion Catopsilia florella, # 2 - Catopsilia pomona.The Bangkok butterfly is a member of the genus Delias.And even though I'm not into beetles... No. 11 is not Megasoma elephas,it is closer to Chalcosoma sp.

5. Staphylinidae. Mataranka Homestead, NT, Australia. April 2010

It is actually Carphurus sp. (Melyridae).

6. Leptocneria binotata (Butler, 1886), Lymantriidae. Springvale homestead, Katherine, NT, Australia. January 2011

Some mistake - there are beetles in the photo, but captions to butterflies.

Ale, nameless butterfly #1-in my opinion Catopsilia florella, # 2 - Catopsilia pomona.The Bangkok butterfly is a member of the genus Delias.

1: also C. pomona (for florella is an African species). 2: imho not the fact that it is pomona, but certainly Catopsilia sp. Butterfly from Bangkok -- Delias hyparete.

And, by the way, "nameless moths 1, 2, 3" are thick-headed butterflies (family Hesperiidae). I will not dare to define them before the appearance.

Hooray, now I will do "work with errors"! Thank you to everyone who wrote corrections and additions.

Moth status changed from "nameless" to beautiful "Hesperiidae", thank you!

But the question is - this butterfly is also with status moths from the same family, right?

Can I put them in one folder?

Ale, nameless butterfly #1-in my opinion Catopsilia florella

1: also C. pomona (for florella is an African species).

I looked through the lists of all the Northern Territorial / Australian butterflies that I found in Google, there are references everywhere

Catopsilia pomona (Fabricius, 1775), Lemon Migrant

and Catopsilia florella is only mentioned in two places as "sighted" and all these places are geographically far away from us. So most likely this is not a stray rarity. And now it looks like this:

Catopsilia pomona (Fabricius, 1775), Lemon Migrant. Mataranka Homestead, NT, Australia. April 2010

Some mistake - there are beetles in the photo, but captions to butterflies.

Oh. And the parasite Google now cheerfully slips this beetle among the butterflies.

Somewhere I messed up with pospisyami 4 years ago, now I can't unravel. The beetle will still be nameless, a beautiful name goes to the butterfly!

It is actually Carphurus sp. (Melyridae).

I fixed everything in the best possible way! Thank you.

Going back to the hymenoptera
in this picture, just like you, not Lissopimpla, but Echthromorpha agrestoria (Swederus, 1787) - Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae

Renamed it, thank you so much for fixing it!

Great cheat sheet for me! Thank you.

And again about beetles.

This one is almost the same as the previous one, differs only in color (slightly) and manners. If the first one kept trying to get away as fast and as far as possible, the second one stubbornly pretended to be dead and took a considerable time to wake him up.
