Incorrect funny definitions of insects in the literature and on the web

mutant beetles with 8 legs are really rare. here is the topic teratology in insects

Hm.......
admittedly, I have never seen information about this phenomenon in beetles, I thought that it was a journalistic fake and a lure to say so

kp.ru " is this Komsomolskaya Pravda?" I remember in this newspaper the horse was called an artiodactyl...

Well duc, the most yellow

A friend who is also engaged in insects told a funny story.
Once upon a time, many years ago, there was such a program on TV, I think called "Obvious and Improbable" or something like that. Once it showed a video taken by one of the viewers, according to the statements of the presenter on the film, an eyewitness captured a hummingbird in his garden. And on this occasion, even a whole controversy was bred where would this tropical bird come from in our latitudes?

When viewing the video, everything turned out to be much more prosaic - it captured the most ordinary Yazykan ordinary (Macroglossum stellatarum) hanging near flowers in a flower bed

The evening news ran a story on ORT about scorpions, and the announcer called these arachnids insects.

Sersenior
Aren't arachnids insects??? I always thought it was insects. Who are the best spiders??? Predators?????

SectorClear
The hierarchy is as follows:
Class: Squad:
Arthropods:Arachnids - spiders, scorpions(it's not even spiders!), ticks
Insects-grasshoppers, butterflies, ants...
Crustaceans - crayfish, lobsters, etc.

Sersenior
Leave the crayfish alone. But arthropods are an order of insects= > spiders are a suborder

pavor
=============TSB=======================
class of invertebrates arachnids
type arthropods
order scorpions

class of invertebrates INSECTS
type arthropods
=======================================
TOTAL:
Arachnids and insects are different CLASSES.


Sersenior
Well, I'm not a biologist, so I'm sorry. There was probably an unenlightened announcer there, too.

Xexbr
And the easiest way to distinguish the class of insects from the class of arachnids by "legs" - spiders have 8 of them, insects have 6!

Sersenior
Who, then, do centipedes belong to??? To the centipedes?

mutant beetles with 8 legs are really rare. there is a topic here teratology in insects

there are such beetles and they are very expensive. Mostly sold to Japan. When I was in Peru, I saw dealers procured for sale such beetles-about 7 and even 8 legs

I get the feeling that with such a course as here or in the Entomologist's Tales, we will soon start writing in scumbag slang.

Nothing personal, but a level of humor...

I was surprised by the picture from Wikipedia, where Morpho rhetenor helena was "called" anaxibia.

It would be interesting to see how one male unpaired silkworm reproduces in uncontrolled numbers...

and as if she only meets in Japan and can't get there without a car )) Just to raise the hype, gre* * * * * * press )))

This Carabus (Morphocarabus) hampei Kuester, 1846 is very similar to Carabus (Morphocarabus) zawadzkii.

Such humor, perhaps, only a coleopterist will appreciate. If only there was a black cockroach, or even a swimmer...

Yes, I agree, the group is dreary .It's easy to make mistakes. However, the agropole where A. G. Koval conducted his research is quite far from alpiskiy luk, and hampei from those places is quite different from what is depicted.

Upis ceramboides or Blaps rugosa?

Vasily, this site is made by makrushnik photographers. Therefore, there are many errors in the definition. But what's funny about it is not clear to me.

And I laughed (how can you confuse something??)

It's nothing to worry about. On the macroid, everything will be more or less corrected.

Well, you're the expert.
And I would not have identified this beetle even before the family.

From the encyclopedia "Butterflies of the World":"...Charax flies so fast that you can't catch up with him with a net: the starting speed of the insect is up to 5 km / s! "

But still, it does not reach the first space station, otherwise it would be a butterfly-cosmonaut.

Here is an article from a self-respecting site: http://science.compulenta.ru/471490/
And here's how they disfigure the text in the tabloid newspaper Mir Novostei:

It is clear that such crap in the network is like dirt on another country road. And yet, to maintain the theme. Well, obviously instead of Agriotes-photo of Melanotus!

Yes, and in the second photo http://www.floranimal.ru/show_foto_his.php...270&flidgr=3021 also not seeding! By the way, the author of the photo is a professional entomologist. Candidate of Biological Sciences! http://www.floranimal.ru/gallery/author_info.php?id=2

Duc it... Maybe it all depends on the fact that:

* unique photos of the Chernobyl accident zone

Yes, I did not see this post, but why it was submitted there and instead of the Swallowtail was vandalized is really unclear.

What is not clear here? Podaliriya instead of swallowtail was vandalized there because both the site authors and the robot indexing sites do not care at all whether podaliriya or swallowtail will be vandalized there.

Here is a funny text that I met in the book "Butterflies of the World" by Alain Ed and Michel Viard.
So when I get to Africa I'll be careful not to scare the Charaxes
And why as soon as it comes to ladies immediately requires alcohol

About 5 km / sec was already somewhere higher...

I went out for a walk today and took my camera with me - it's like taking a picture of the "Russian winter". And I see this - I apologize for the quality, it was photographed through the glass of the window.

Yeah... Wretchedness from birth!!!

IMHO, for such cases, the topic is called too intelligently: "incorrect and ridiculous definitions ...". You need something like: "Obscurantism/Idiocy in the media" or more artistically: "Insanity was getting stronger!".

Yeah, I saw the same one yesterday at the Soyuzpechat kiosk.

We know, we know this little book is too heavy (by weight). So there are generally so many blunders (you can quote half a book).

2 Zlopastnyi Brandashmyg and Dzanat: I saw it too... But even earlier, I was asked by part-time students - not even about what the scorpion does among insects, but about the fact that the magazine has a large circulation and each issue comes with an "exhibit" - so where do these unfortunate people come from and what does this threaten their natural populations? Well, of course, I said that habitat destruction is much more dangerous than trapping, and also that some of the arthropod animals are massively bred for sale-but I was not satisfied with this answer myself. But really, where do they get these "apps" from?
