We discuss unusual finds of all arthropods. Finds of obvious exotics, new places of finds, etc.

Already published in print? For completely new and really interesting finds, it is more expedient to write an article in the magazine, having bought the material smile.gif

I mean clearly deviant finds of animals brought by chance and usually isolated. So there is no need to talk about the material or series. And what kind of article is this: "Finding one Indian copy of X-us z-us in a tile box at the city market in Almaty" ?
Just wondering what ridiculous things people came across.

Beetle finds in the Yaroslavl region (published):
No. 1 Phryganophilus pseudoauritus Nikitsky (Melandryidae) - a species described from the Far East of Russia.
No. 2 Perigona nigriceps (Sarabidae) is a tropical species introduced to the Palearctic.
But there are also unpublished ones...., but I would not like to "advertise"them yet

Well, you are wrong, an example of this is the article: G. Beibienko, 1947. About cockroaches (Blattodea) brought with bananas to Leningrad // Entomol. obozr. T. 29. № 1-2. pp. 44-48.

Well, if the imported insects are numerous and have taken root-it's clear. But what is the scientific value of finding a tropical single specimen?

The Australian barbel Phoracantha is quite regularly-sporadically found in the south... The last one I remember was caught in South Georgia by Alexey Brinev (Moscow Pedagogical Institute). University, Department of Entomology)
At one time it was introduced together with eucalyptus and is one of the main pests of it in its homeland.
I also caught something unusual myself, but not so interesting.

Actually, this is a very serious topic, and it has been studied for a long time, now the truth is only in the West. For example, pay attention to the topic of the report in this photo. Famous Canadian coleopterist and traveler Stuart Peck spent 5 years in the Galapagos, which explains the alien fauna!

People, does anyone know how often bindweed hawkmoth is caught in the Moscow region? And then I read the reports of Moipovtsev, it turns out that they rarely come across, I also thought so until I bought a dacha. Now I enjoy dozens of fat warm creatures. Every year. Almost. It wasn't until the year before last. August-September-October. Late-night October frosts are not a hindrance. Since 1995. smile.gif

Earlier (until summer 2006) at my dacha (Ramenskiy district) regularly flew in the mass all summer, now they have disappeared somewhere, in 2006 I did not see any.

19.01.2007 15:04, guest: omar

Thanks! This year I had, sometimes up to 5 pieces at a time. More to the butterfly people. In the Moscow region, what is the occurrence of Neptis sappho, Limenitis camilla? I see it every year, but only in small numbers. July.

19.01.2007 17:25, Zhuk

I have Limenitis camilla flying in piles in the Ruzsky district, they sit on forest roads every meter. But Neptis sappho was never seen there.

In the Moscow region, this is a stray species and its number can be determined by the number in the breeding areas. It comes to us in late summer and early autumn and is very willing to visit the flowers of phlox, sweet tobacco and petunias.

Limenitis camilla is common where honeysuckle grows. It can be numerous.
Neptis sapho - Where do you catch it in the Moscow region? If it's not a secret, please share it. mol.gif
This butterfly is an inhabitant of the southern regions of the region, in particular, it is found in the PTZ and its surroundings.
A related species Neptis rivularis also exists in the southern regions of the region, but it can also be found further north. There is a specimen from Korolev (June 2003, Samoduro G. D. leg), I myself saw this butterfly on July 11, 2005 near the Perkhushkovo station of the Belorusskaya line (Odintsovo district).

I caught them in 2005 from September 10, but I had never seen them before. We flew on phlox. In general, phloxes attract a lot of hawk moth and other moths.

Recently, my friends found such a friend in a pack of tea

The photo you provided, Mr. Sergeich, shows a crushman from podsem. Sericinae. For well-known reasons, it is impossible to say more precisely. But the beetle, I think, should be saved - a very interesting specimen.
Sincerely,.....

25.01.2007 15:15, Vadim Yakubovich

Save-by itself, I wonder what kind of species (i.e. exotic or not)

This post was edited by Sergeich - 25.01.2007 15: 15

25.01.2007 16:20, Nimrod

If I had the opportunity to explore it live , I would say for sure. The only thing that I can assume is habitually-it may be a representative of the Oriental fauna. In any case, Sericines are always determined with a terrible creak, especially before the appearance. In this case, if the antennas are still intact (at least), then you can extend it to the genus.
Sincerely,....

Yeah... buy tea bags. And with labels smile.gif
And I usually get exotic things out of bags of dried fruits: figs, dates. Perhaps with five copies. R. Carpophilus collected spangles (beetles)
in this way.
In general, it is best to look for exotics in landfills near any fruit storage facilities. One well-known collembologist of tropical collembolas found in a city dump, where the microclimate is more than tropical from rotting all year round...

Yes, an interesting ground beetle

This is Phaneroptera falcata, which is intensively expanding its range to the south and, according to A. P. Mikhailenko, has already reached the Pskov region. And so, earlier, in general, it was considered a more or less southern view. Could you specify the exact location where you took it?

And about the ground beetle-is it any relative of Clivina by any chance?

Thank you, very interesting information about the plastinokryla! I didn't know that it was already up to Pskov. And then I have all the books are old, but I myself have never met these grasshoppers north of the Tambov region, although the person seems to be attentive, and they are quite large. Ground beetle Cymindis angularis, not discovered by Fedorenko during the revision of the ground beetle fauna near Moscow in 1983, although Sharova indicates it in her works. Therefore, a question for all participants-maybe someone also came across? I don't have any more recent faunal works. frown.gif

26.01.2007 19:38, andr_mih

More precisely, according to the message of P. V. Ozersky, and not according to mine. And who told him, I don't remember, look in the forum.

26.01.2007 20:45, andr_mih

I apologize, the forum does not have this.

26.01.2007 21:45, andr_mih

Here, I finally found where it was about Pskov:
http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=48063
However, even Beibienko in the" green " determinant gave this species for the forest zone, without specifying specific points.

Exactly. I apologize to Pavel Viktorovich in absentia for the incorrect link.

And where was Tzimindis caught? Not very clearly visible-isn't this a vaporariorum by any chance?
In any case, the find is interesting
, and I also met the plastinokrila a couple of times near Moscow, in the Voskresensk and Istra districts, and the second time I found a male singing.

31.01.2007 12:36, Necrocephalus

Also, if anyone is interested, I will tell you briefly about biology, where to look, and seasonal population dynamics . This year I will continue my observations.

Very interesting!
Please tell us.

Its habitat is a dry meadow on sandy soil. Sharova notes the view from the pine forests on the sand. The first beetles in May are few in number. Mass release of beetles from mid-July to the end of August, then the number decreases. They live in grass turf, in cracks in the soil, less often under stones, boards, logs (near the forest) - apparently by accident. In captivity, they eat aphids and leaf-eating eggs well (kept several pairs of Cryptocephalus at the same time). Activity is nocturnal. No larvae found.

A friend caught in Mineral Waters in a lumber yard, - skutigera 7 cm in length (with outstretched legs), - thick blue with glitter color!

23.08.2008 9:40, Vabrus

This is probably the same one that the blue rhinos saw... wink.gif

It would be interesting to see the little animal. Didn't pickle her by accident?
About the finds-it may not be very interesting, but it's fun. In the spring, Mastax thermarum was found in the Rostov region near the border with Kalmykia, BUT on a sandy massif. As far as I know, it tends more towards saline soils. And in the collection of our university there are no copies from the Rostov region.

"This is probably the same one that the blue rhinos saw... "
" Aha And the choice of color inspires suspicion... "
- I will try to change it as a "joke" ... (if anything, - to an adequate one on my part, - I think... you will not be "offended"...

"It would be interesting to see the little animal. Didn't pickle her by accident?"
- They gave it to either Valentin Tikhonov or Viktor Sinyaev... "I don't remember.

Sorry, I do not know who it is?
And what did he say about this flycatcher?

28.08.2008 1:16, Андреас

"He said we'd painted it." - Of course, - my friend and I did not argue with the "certified specialist".
"There was even a picture of a blue rhino in an issue of The Young Naturalist.
