Oh, the pirate was a lady!

Yes, the guys are much more long-moustached

Right. Perhaps even my definition of correct is very similar. But, the genus is absolutely monstrous, more than 400 species, it is very presumptuous to determine this seriously from the pictures.

I will think that everything is right, I like it better this way.

Yes, the guys are much more long-moustached

I just don't know what to do to lure these long-moustached guys to my balcony!

Today's butterflies.

Your beauty is most likely Hypocysta adiante .
Please excuse me , for the northern and western territories, the subspecies will be called-antirius.

... and mine is from Dooragan NP-metirius. Ugh, I don't like that Latin. It is necessary to name all beetles and butterflies, as in the Union in Russian .
Butterflies of this group are very gentle, like shady meadows with an abundance of tall grass. The hand does not rise to catch them.

Today's butterflies.

Utetheisa pulchelloides

This is something clearly waterfowl, but at the same time perfectly flying, because it cheerfully flew to the balcony on the fourth floor. I hope it's a bug.

Plavunets beetle - family Dytiscidae. If you lure here a respected botanque, or throw a photo here in this topic: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=218370&st=200 - you can expect to determine at least up to the genus.

It's someone from the Alleculidae family.

Oh, the Internet, what a beautiful name suggests these keywords:

Hypocysta adiante antirius Butler, 1868 (Darwin region)

Is that the right thing to do?

P.S.
Roman, haven't we switched to "you"yet? I think we should go long ago!

Baba Yaga is against it!© Latin is more unintelligible and beautiful.

Utetheisa pulchelloides

Thank you, I signed the picture.

But the question is-is it a day butterfly or a night moth? By the look of it, I would have sent it to the album for night flying.

Beatle. Plavunets are a family of Dytiscidae. If you lure here a respected botanque, or throw a photo here in this topic: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=218370&st=200 - you can expect to determine at least up to the genus.

I'm too shy to lure you, so I'll go there myself with a bow and a bug! I'll do it now, maybe they won't kick me out.

Thank you for correcting the bug caption!

And yesterday's spiders.

1.

2.

3.

That's all the poor catch for two hours of continuous search in the forest. Today I will go for a walk somewhere else, maybe there will be more luck.

Good luck in your new location! and in the old ones, too
so nice to plunge into the tropical fauna when ....

Thank you, I signed the picture.

But the question is-is it a day butterfly or a night moth? By the look of it, I would have sent it to the album for night flying.

Definitely to the night, but there are a lot of such spellings, a few for example:
Erebidae, Arctiinae
Noctuidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini
Arctiidae, Arctiinae

Good luck in your new location! and in the old ones, too
it's so nice to get caught up in the tropical fauna when ....

No luck to me! Today was some kind of super-insect-free day, for two hours in the bushes I did not find a single specimen worthy of photographing, only ants and mosquitoes. Two butterflies flew busily high above, one moth never once crouched down, but just kept waddling away, two very small spiders in the thorny bushes. And that's it! Fshoke.

But I found a snake and a beautiful tree frog, but I was still upset, of course. It would seem - such promising thickets, so many dry leaves in the litter, so much bark on the trees, so many delicious leaves for the caterpillars!







When I used to read about the rainforest, I naively believed that "everything is teeming with life" there, and I saw different mustachioed and winged birds sitting under each leaf - choose and admire. As long as you find one bug here, you'll get a hundred and fifty-seven sweats instead of seven. And it's not a fact that there is a booger. I don't know, I plan to go to the Botanical Garden with a lantern for a walk next night without rain.

Definitely for the night

OK, I moved it to the album "Moths"!

Another butterfly from yesterday. While (I hope that only for now) nameless.

I assume this is the ubiquitous Danaus chrysippus in your latitudes. If you are wrong, the "butterfly people" will correct you.

Yesterday's small bug. It's a bug, right?

The bug, of course. From the Reduviidae family.

As for this one: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=1545127 post regarding the rarity of water beetles: it is necessary to move a net in shallow water (where there is aquatic vegetation, right along it)" blindly " back and forth (mow). And in the net, 99% of the animals will be found.

Great! I love clear instructions! (she galloped off to the storeroom to get the net.) I will report on the results in the evening, I have plans to visit the swamp and billabong today, where there is a place to "mow". I hope I'm not spoiling the crocodile.

The main thing is that it does not spoil you! Good luck!

Yes, it would be an extremely sad ending! But I don't go with a net where there are big crocodiles, and where I "mowed with a net" today, there are only freshwater trifles, they are afraid of me to the point of fainting.

I report back - "operation duremar" ended almost in failure, maniacally climbed into almost all puddles and small reservoirs-empty, only grass and leaves. In one place, an angry spider suddenly fell out of the net, either I saved it, or on the contrary, I almost drowned it by accident. Only in one place, along with the grass, I raked up some very small and very nimble beetles and some harsh-looking creature with eyes and legs, probably someone's larva. I also caught fish and scared away all the frogs. Tourists passing by were subjected to a terrible test-they almost turned their necks at the sight of an aunt with a net and a camera in a strange position on the road over a pile of wet grass.

How's that?! What's this:

The first pancake is far from lumpy! Keep it up ! And I hope you took photos of the objects? Then-to the studio!

Creature.

Well, here's a dragonfly larva! We urgently call Kharkovbut! Or upload a photo here: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=170973&st=1450 .

Not enough! I'm very greedy!

When a small fish jumped out of the net and jumped on the grass, I decided that it was a very large beetle and shouted enthusiastically. The disappointment was terrible.

the objects are very small and very fast.

You could try to take them "in full" and "take a picture" at home, putting lights and so on.

Bugs. They ran in all directions with terrible force.
