Entomological expeditions

Oh, Helena, Helena, if life were so simple, I can only envy your enthusiasm.

This is not Entuzazizm, this POFIGIZM Need to think less about what could theoretically happen... what would happen to my grandmother if she became a grandfather?..
So you can be afraid to walk around the city: there are maniacs and robbers all around!
But in fact, it's enough just to think with your head, be attentive and not get into trouble - and less load yourself with scary stories.

It is clear, although I do not care sometimes associated with enthusiasm, i.e. this is one of its manifestations

For me, enthusiasm is the behavior of a seven-year-old boy who is not afraid of hornets, because he has never been stung. And pofigizm-this is already about an entomologist who is not afraid of hornets, because the skills of handling take-offs are brought to automatism

Well, I'm talking about the same thing!

And in order not to worry about the fear of aborigines, it is necessary to observe gender equality in any trip (i.e. there should be as many ladies as men).

Tsvetukhan - this is for the epigraph to the guide for young entomologists
As for the equal number of ladies and gentlemen... And how to find so many ladies, sir?
My friends had such a case (the trip was not entomological, but sports and hunting) - there was an "unoccupied" boy in the company, and the hostess of the house where they were based began to molest him... And then the village boys decided to take revenge for her rejected love, and it turned out to be makhalovo... But it was because we were drunk, and we prefer not to look for such adventures on expeditions...
By the way, from my Central Asian experience: Muslims usually just need to say that the lady is married. If a person does not come with a hit-and-run, it affects him: they respect the patriarchal foundations.
In fact, the conversation started not ABOUT THAT, but about the fact that Ju-lia is afraid to take a camera in the field more expensive than a soap dish...

Helene, well, you have some examples
I,for example, from the age of seven, of course, did not climb into the nests of wasps, but from nine-quite, and that I was afraid then, that I am afraid now. I'm not afraid to dismantle the nest only in winter
You should sort out a pair of V. germanica or V. vulgaris nests somewhere in early August, at a time free from calculating the density of scoops per unit of space

So, your reaction to my message was initially past the box office.

I'm not thinking straight ,I'm sorry, but you've made it all clear, thank you.

28.02.2006 15:28, Helene

Helene, well, you have some examples

The example is because I myself am afraid of Shershakov (and not a youngster, and not a pro on epaulettes). And you have to collect them: the chief needs to.

As for the phrase that the lady is married and that's all... You must have had a very well-bred companion. In Turkmenistan, in the early 90's, they offered two white Volga cars for a blonde woman who was REALLY married, and she was with her husband...
And you say patriarchal principles...

We had a single case in Kyrgyzstan when a border guard became interested in an employee - and when he found out that she was a madam, he immediately lost interest, and those "undocivilized" places where impudent "new..." (Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, etc.) are found, we just try to pass by. And in any case (if you can't get through - you need a point), put the camp out of sight (as it was said)
A tip for blondes in the field: golden curls-under a cap, wonderful forms - under a baggy special jacket. Just like I said: don't show valuables

Actually, it seems only foreign.. And it is advisable not to have collectible copies on pins (in a box), otherwise you will either have to pay a bribe in the amount of 10 usoedenennyh euros, or say goodbye to the species

I was once arrested at a railway station in Krasnodar during terrorist attacks a couple of years ago. Shoveled the entire backpack. When we got to the boxes of beetles, my eyes lit up-grass!!! And I had a couple of ground beetles and barbels cute. In short, I open a box - and there is a beetle, another box-and there is also a beetle! The poor police didn't even know what to say, so they were upset, poor people, and let me go. The knife, however, was almost seized, but I had a photocopied passport of a completely different, but similar knife. Ethyl Acetate passed for rock climbing equipment care liquid

Cut out. First, this hype with wine, like Moldovans transport poison, and ours, in turn, also got out with such garbage, like the dirty law of "Orange". It would be better to unite, but the borders would be removed (At least for entomologists )

Take it easy with your expressions! Edited by a moderator.

People!!!
I just found out that Ukraine has passed a law on a COMPLETE BAN on the export of any living (and former living) material. Like a national treasure. A parasitologist friend is making a bunch of papers (even from their KGB) for the removal of worms from the Sevastopol Institute of South Seas!
Does anyone know about this law and how to circumvent it???

Opppa....
As the poet said "... the prize in the quarter was covered" And I was going to go to Kerch this summer...

Although, probably this is if you export it officially, stating that you are exporting the material. And if it's just on mattresses in a bag, then it can pass if you take it by train. Usually border guards / customs officers look at alcohol and try to withdraw it. So at the bottom of the bag we put a box with mattresses, then clothes, and on top of 5 bottles of alcoholic beverages - there is a high chance that they will not climb further

Duc everyone has long known that Ukraine is the most difficult country for processing documents. Sending parcels by mail is still a useless task, professional customs declarants do not undertake it. Our customs will release the parcel, but the Ukrainian one will not let it in, and it would be fine to just wrap it up, otherwise it will disappear completely...
Now, then, they have issued their de jure condovost...

There's a catch.. Those insects that were caught before the law was published can be safely removed (the old law still applies to those insects). With the rest it will be worse..
By the way, there is a law that you can't keep collections with insects, or rather, you can only keep those collected before 89 (only for individuals, not for museums, etc.), so we are illegal immigrants and violators of the law

But about parcels from Ukraine is strange. There are several insect sellers who send packages even to Europe. In any case, they did until recently...

Most likely, they take them in hand luggage to a neighboring country and send them from there.
As for Primorye, I have heard that there is some "special opinion" of local authorities who have learned about the commercial value of local insects. There are also such bad rumors about the EAO and Yakutia.
I don't know how this (entomologist fishing within Russia) physically happens. Indeed, there are no grounds for screening on domestic flights. But what is a Russian official-also do not need to explain.
Or it may also be that they don't send trains, but don't let them catch them. In Primorye, there is a set of "standard" points where everyone goes. Maybe that's where the inspectors hang out? And then you need a permit not for export, but for carrying out work? This is generally unrealistic for an individual...

Once, two years ago, when I was flying to Sakhalin, at the Khabarovsk airport, the aunts saw antennas in the nets, they thought it was a spy, and it was quite difficult to convince them, so the presence of beetles in the bag may cause suspicion of spreading the terrible infection

25.04.2006 8:12, Nilson

Signal enemy ships with a net? In my opinion, this has already happened with Comrade. Nabokov at the beginning of the last century in the Crimea
Can I open a thread that describes interesting cases from lovitvennoy practice?

25.04.2006 12:33, RippeR

Nothing, we will put people with guns at the border and shoot the distributors of bug flu
