There the text is divided into sections, and to the right above each of them there is a "button" [Edit] (more precisely, of course, it is a hyperlink, but it behaves exactly like a button). By clicking on it, the "filling" of the section is expanded. Actually, the text can simply be entered there, the difficulties (not very large, and for the usual ones, they are not at all difficult) are only with organizing hyperlinks and inserting images - but you can do it on the model of existing ones.

But here's what I came across, fulfilling the request of the forum member Dichelima for links to works on the molecular taxonomy of locusts. Find out who we are being passed off as Chorthippus biguttulus on the page of a lecturer in the Department of Natural Sciences at Imperial College London:
http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.charalambous/research

. For the uninitiated, this is Omocestus viridulus, a small animal from a different subtribe and certainly from a different genus: it's like confusing a hive with a mourner.

This is a scan from the translated book "Lakes, Ponds and swamps", series "World of Wild Nature", Rosman publishing house, 1998, translated from French by F. A. Romanenko and O. D. Kutasova, scientific consultant of the DBN A. I. Kim. Surely many people remember these richly illustrated books with high-quality paper and binding. I especially remember this page. Who is so otchudil with dates-God knows.

05.11.2011 19:57, PVOzerski

In my opinion, this is the usual result of an unprofessional translation. From the same series as the transformation of the well-known guinea pig into a "Guinea pig", riders into wasps, and fillies into grasshoppers. Even A.V. Yablokov distinguished himself in his monograph "Population Biology": not only did he call the filly spotted kopieuska (Myrmeleotettix maculatus) a grasshopper, but he also decorated the illustration with the image of a green grasshopper. And after all, he himself brought Latin - what prevented him from checking it?

So here are the numbers...

So here are the numbers...

It's just that the author wrote this essay a long time ago... and for a very long time...

05.11.2011 22:35, PVOzerski

Yes, I repent: I didn't compare the numbers with the geochronological scale

, but there are good pearls even without numbers - for example, about the intermediate position between legtails and butterflies.

Ah, yes, there was a topic. I also listened to the author's speech at some conference. It reduces the decorative value of bricks in packages.

Once, during a special session at uni, we were shown an "educational" film about the behavior of insects published in the shaggy year. The film was in English with a delayed voice-over translation of the nasal man)) I quote the translation: "and this is a bug called bug-turtle, but in fact it's not a bug..."

) I don't remember all the shoals in the film, but we had a lot of fun)

yes, and very often ticks are attributed to insects (this especially outrages me, because I am an acarologist))

I found it in the magazine " Garden. Vegetable garden" and on one site here is your photo -

user posted image

Under it is the caption "onion babbler-a dangerous pest of onions".

But actually I have a different species in the photo-Helophilus pendulus.
Helophilus larvae live in puddles, ditches and manure, and are not interested in onions.

Wow, how interesting! Something Kiev entomologist did not say anything specific about the species-greenhouse / cave grasshoppers - there are a whole bunch of them. And it would be interesting in terms of content in culture!

18.12.2011 20:14, DanMar

Sorry for the false grasshoppers, as I understand them... Brainless philistines jump and trample on them... They shout in the news, people everywhere raise a panic, but no one is going to explore them and where they came from there, except for such wonderful individual enthusiasts. A few years ago, they were shouted about. You can find out where you can get them..

IMHO-Gryllomorpha sp. In the Crimea, they are found in dark, damp places, for example, I found them under an old fallen tree near a spring.

19.12.2011 0:52, DanMar

I very much doubt that this is someone from Gryllomorpha. First, the grillomorph has a narrow sabre-shaped ovipositor, like all standard crickets, and if you watched the video carefully, the specimen shown there, if you watched carefully, has a wide ovipositor, and most likely it is some kind of cave cricket. Some of this- http://bugguide.net/node/view/87473/bgimage

Very annoying for those who wrote this title...
But apparently, FGM the author just rolls over. В прочем, сюжет богат на такие слова, часто слышно "баштоповерхівки", "масова мутація комах" а так же "мутація грунтовіх сапрофітів, а точніше жукив-могильників", при чем жужелицу показывают...

. Слово "мутация" повторяется постоянно. They even claimed that the insects are of alien origin

I came across the video "Amazing transformation". In this video, the swallowtail moth is called the tailed moth.

"The world of living creatures is full of interesting things. This video shows the amazing transformation of the moth moth moth caterpillar into a beautiful creature."

By the way, in the course of business in Google for the query "moth tailed" will be found in the first line of the video

Oh, so this is just a kind of Vet from the link that I posted above

Well, are they grasshoppers, or are they crickets?? I still don't know if they're cave grasshoppers, are they grasshoppers or crickets?

19.12.2011 22:24, Egorus

and I don't grow either of them...

19.12.2011 22:32, Hierophis

Well, I also do not grow crickets for the purpose of growing, that is, for food, but I watched with satisfaction how crickets live in a "biotope terrarium", how they eat, and how they sing, too

But this thing is like in these articles.. Yes, it's big, but we have a dybka, and another 100% there is a steppe fat man somewhere, and even decticus is no worse than some imported veta, or whatever it is

What's the big deal?

This is quite a reasonable report, especially if you compare it with those that happen (and were cited above).

Family Mimnermidae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1888. This is according to Gorokhov (1995), there are other points of view.
Subfamily Deinacridinae Karny, 1932.

Calling it "grasshopper" or "cricket" is a matter of taste.There is no Russian name for this group. Large and very large insects, as far as I know, are mainly herbivorous. They entered their own size class, presumably due to the lack of competitors on the islands of New Zealand - invertebrates. Exclusively a New Zealand band. They are unknown in the fossil state.

The report is reasonable, but the "invasion" itself just seemed interesting

, at least I have never seen any butterflies in such numbers.
