Collecting insects (and other) in China

Community and Forum → Other questions. Insects topics → Collecting insects (and other) in China

I was told a terrible story about how a Japanese amateur entomologist was caught collecting rare butterflies in China and expelled from the country with a warning. And when he was caught a second time, he was sentenced to death. I'm not sure if this is true, but in general, how strict are the rules for LEGAL collection of insects and export of material abroad in the Middle Kingdom? Has anyone encountered this problem?
P.S. So far, we are exporting everything illegally...

As far as I know, it is not legal for foreigners to catch butterflies in China at all, otherwise they will be fined or imprisoned. So, only illegally, you need to encrypt well. I myself have an idea to go to Northern China, catch butterflies...

Legally caught in China, according to information, only the Japanese, some. They buy a license like.

No, if you are a scientist and you have a colleague in China, then you can catch them legally. That is, they get some kind of permission, including for the export of some of the material. But I still didn't understand what these permissions are and how to issue them if there is no colleague.

The fact is that it is also problematic to take them out with your colleagues! My friends even got grants to work in China and exported the material illegally... China is no less a bureaucratic country than Russia and it is sometimes even more difficult to get a piece of paper there! So that leaves contraband. Fortunately, the control in many provinces is weak, the main thing is not to advertise. And take it out in your luggage! And it is better to go through the shuttle customs in Blagoveshchensk. There, thank God, is a full equinox both with our old and Chinese!

- I have a very good friend who has been mired in China for several years, in particular in Chang-hee province. And it has very good results from there. Only the Saturnia and hawk moth discovered by him (!!!), and those named after members of his family, will not be enough to count fingers on their hands. His last name is very famous. He lives in Moscow and in my city almost equally in terms of time, as the rest of the time he spends on expeditions and at European fairs. I can bring them together. Type true, he is a little crazy, but he can tie armature on a knot freely.

One day in 2002, I managed
to smuggle live locusts and ladybirds from China, where I went to a seminar
. The insects were placed in small plastic tanks
(2.5 cm in diameter) with a lid made of metal mesh, with a supply of food
inside. I put the backprints themselves at the bottom of the bag with personal items inside
the shaving kit. The beetles made a great trip, and one
female filly even put down a pitcher, from which the larvae later emerged. I
raised them to an adult state, led 2 generations, but then, due
to lack of time, I lost the culture. I gave some of the impaled individuals
to a locust friend, and kept some of them for myself. Here is such a contraband
story-smile.gif).

According to the stories of my friends, you can take out the material (illegally, of course) But, you can not glow anywhere, even in a hotel. Guides, maids, and cleaners follow and report everything that happens to their superiors. So, we must be extremely careful.

China, a very difficult country to collect

I once heard a story from a friend of mine about how an entomologist brought a mouthful of some Red Book beetles out of China about 10 years ago. I pretended to be mute at customs, but on the plane I spat on the mattress. I don't remember the entomologist's name, and I don't even remember the name of the beetles, since I'm not interested in them.

If I'm not mistaken, it was about some small but very expensive endemic ground beetle species.

It looks like a bike. Is it really difficult to hide a few small ground beetles in your checked luggage?

A few years ago, I accidentally brought a few "souvenir" Kalash cartridges from Sarajevo in my translucent hand luggage, and found them only at home at the bottom of the bag when I was sorting smile.gifthrough

It may not be difficult, but there are all sorts of situations in life and I can't explain this action logically without knowing all the nuances either! What I remembered, I passed on. If necessary, I will check the details with a friend (I hope he remembers them), but for now, the bike is just a bike. There is no point in persuading anyone or providing accurate information.

Yes - after the dead eaters and gravediggers, I felt much better!!! lol.gif lol.gif lol.gif

Small phaneuses from South and Central America are also convenient to carry over the cheek smile.gif

There is no time for pleasantries, when you need to simply and easily deliver the material. smile.gif

18.05.2009 16:17, omar

After the gravediggers, I'll tell you, the faneychiks will roll over like monpasieshki behind the cheek...

18.05.2009 16:26, Aaata

By taste and color... as they say.

Well, if this region has drifted, then you can also stuff them with 100% Columbian smile.gif
Combine the pleasant with the useful wink.gif

18.05.2009 16:29, omar

Locals sometimes eat phanea larvae. Pick out from the substrate, wash, and fry.

18.05.2009 16:34, Aaata

And why do they refuse the side dish(substrate)?

18.05.2009 17:14, Jarik

Just one story, but how it stirred up the imagination....
Those who have stronger nerves can also transport contraband in other cavities, ask drug dealers to clarify the nuances and go ahead: a cowboy hat, tight pants, appropriate gait (as if along the entire wall on a fast horse raced).
I can imagine how surprised the Chinese customs officers will be if they find such a thing there. A place of honor in the textbooks on criminology is guaranteed, and if they don't find it, then you can't brag to your friends over a beer. One consolation - for the good of science!!!!!!! lol.gif lol.gif lol.gif

You don't need to transport African faneichiki in your mouth, but you know where!!1 Catch the same way, you can go to the 5th point!

Should I carry earwigs in my ears? 0_o only who needs them..

You don't need to transport African faneichiki in your mouth, but you know where!

In case of particularly favorable conditions, they will lay eggs... Just don't forget about scarabiasis.

Well, it depends for what purposes - if on the wall in a frame-then you don't need it.

18.05.2009 23:09, Zlopastnyi Brandashmyg

By the way, "faneychiki" is still, in my opinion, South American.

19.05.2009 1:35, RippeR

I don't care what they are-as long as they stay away from my ass smile.gif
You can even cultivate faneychikov for our peoples, and then there is nothing to have fun with-cockroaches were bred, bed beetles were bred - boredom!
And you can also transport tropical ticks, directly on yourself, in any place, and in your hair it's so easy! Then you can breed a culture with us, otherwise some monotonous species will meet.

May. Only in case of consequences there is a chance to get 2 years of probation.

Quarantine specialists on guard!
The main thing in China, as in any other country, from where you get to your home by plane, is not to get into the field.
You can take out anything in your luggage. If there is no problem! Tip-offs, total control, trace amounts of drugs, etc. Automobile and railway crosswalks are another matter. There may be shakes and customs officers there are different, not like at airports.
All these carts of insects in the mouth, buttocks, ears and nostrils - either a bike or signs of the wildest reinsurance. Airports are almost always safe. The main thing in the bag where the insets are located is not to carry cleavers, cartridges, large bottles, etc. It is better to buy a separate suitcase. There may be a problem with the tattoo. This is yes.

Just got back from SE China. I was flying from Shanghai. I took out all the collected material without any problems. In your LUGGAGE wink.gif

08.06.2009 21:50, Guest

Well, how about the fees?

10.06.2009 16:43, Сергей Королев

What did you catch from the entomofauna in Shanghai and where did you catch it?
There is a desire (and tickets:- )), I want to take a ride on the road to Guilin (Beihai)...
What should I calculate for (night, day, beetles)?

I read it and grinned: to pick up from the entomofauna is not in the sense of ticks...
