Come on!!!
Not everyone is a wizard, some of them are just learning.

Don't be smart!  
You don't have any masterpieces either. If you have any comments , please advise the person on how to illuminate the subject when shooting and how to process photos in the photo shop. And you can burst with self-esteem.

Nobody has any masterpieces (not counting the works of M. E. Smirnov and K. V. Makarov). But masterpieces are not required for our purposes. Just the object should have been clearly depicted and such images, which is nice, quite a lot on the forum. It was a joking question from the photographer, but I apologize to Ducat if I inadvertently offended you. And from self-esteem, dear Entalex, it is impossible to burst. This requires different feelings.

From your personal collection

BATOCERA RUFOMACULATA (DE GEER, 1775 )
Apparently, it does not have a Russian name (RUFOMACULATA - red spots-literal translation from Latin)
Dark brown with a yellowish coating. Pronotum with transverse folds in the anterior and posterior parts, a sharp spike on the sides and 2 orange longitudinal spots on the disc. Elytra in the main part in black grains, disappearing to the top and in rare white spots. The entire bottom is flanked by a wide white border. Imported from the tropics. It has taken root well in Israel. It develops on figs. 34-53 mm
1st photo-male
2nd photo-female

The Russian name, of course, is not and cannot be-the view is tropical. Literal translation: red-spotted batocera. Although about the "slipperiness" and "uselessness"of such a translation in the topic about the Russian-language nomenclature has already been written.

I want to add that Batocera flies to the light, so I have 6 copies of different sizes. Of course, there have been others, but they are so beautiful that I dare not kill them again. 4 specimens were caught in Shlomi (40 km from Haifa) in August 1998. Then there was some kind of mass explosion, they were just circling the lanterns in the evening. I never saw anything like it again. 2 copies at different times flew into my apartment, also into the light. I didn't see any of them during the day.

"That's how alive he is..... I don't know. "
