Now I accidentally stumbled upon a visual flop on the site of the "Sanepidstantsiya SES".
There is a picture for all molen - haters, so that they know their enemy by sight... from klop-klopov.ru and even a contact phone number...

- And it is described as! - Just like a horror movie story! eek.gif "Looking around, a sickening woodlouse returns from hunting, dragging the stuck remains of the half-eaten author of the article... She will spend the night under a pile of manure without air freshener or air conditioning..."

In Syria, an outbreak of leishmaniasis was recorded-it was caused by carnivorous beetles
In itself, the news is absurd, and even a photo of a barbel was stuck.

I don't want to create a new topic (maybe there is one) - but the question has been brewing for a long time... - Why are there so many lies in BBC films? - Inaccurate translation? - Enticement for suckers? - or is all this "creative nonsense" the fruit of dummies who do not take up their own business-processing the material received from the videographer?
- I am currently watching "Wild Nature of Colombia, 2nd series" ... - they say that the "dung beetle" is a representative of one of the 1200 (!) insect species that live in the huge Sierra de la Macarena National Park...
- I skip "Dung Manure"; - but we even have all kinds of insects on the CMS more than 1200! - Or is it really so poor there?

perhaps this means that 1200 species are known for the park's territory. That is, as far as the territory is studied - so many species.

The social wasp miraculously "pumped" into another subfamily (becoming a single one), and even began to lay eggs in the bodies of victims, which even real Eumenins never did.

The most complete travel guide "Lipetsk region. Architecture, monuments, people, history, nature, maps, museums". On the first page is a welcome speech from our "beloved" governor. And in the section about the Meshcherskaya forest-steppe station, which is famous for its lilacs, here is such a blunder.
Idea leuconoe from the Lipetsk region!!!

A female of the newly discovered Australian river bug (Phoreticovelia disparata) offers food to her partner during their four-day sex session.
The attached photo led me to strong suspicions that, after checking with Google, were fully justified: the "bug" is actually a bug.
"Sexual session" doesn't sound like that either.

Akimushkin has a similar book about abstract insects (and at the same time spiders and... domestic animals), along with the real rather fascinating details of biology, the insistence of "pearl" comes across, mainly in the text. But at least one missigned picture is also there - the world's largest and most highly valued terrarium spider Teraphosa blondi, called much smaller and cheaper Lasiodora parahybana.

PS Homeopathy is not a disease, but a type of alternative medicine - that is, a method of treatment.

Who, Patricia Leroux? For what? This is clearly the translator's jambs. Or are you so outraged by the very fact of collecting butterflies to get medicine, and not to hang in the framework?

Apparently, Pan was very offended that someone catches butterflies not for transmission to his secret collection of descendants, but for other purposes. Well, to each his own. But so far, I haven't come across strong evidence that homeopathy doesn't work in principle. In general, the topic is here it is there that Pan should state his original point of view that homeopathy is a disease, and at the same time offer a method of its treatment with the help of butterflies.

I bought a very controversial little book here... It seems that the illustrative series of the original edition is well presented there , but no! A couple of tables - as if they were not there, the last two more were "scattered" in the text, and as for printing, there is not enough drool in the mouth, as they say. Here is the link - http://www.labirint.ru/books/543590/ I have long laughed at the linguistic experiments of the Russian-speaking author.. (it would be funny if it wasn't so sad...)

Harmful ladybirds

Harmful ladybirds However, since these ladybirds were released in the United States, scientists have discovered quite a large number of different unpleasant aspects. For example, they can climb into the smallest crevices in wooden and even concrete houses for the winter to wait out the cold. And when the temperature drops very much, they can even climb inside the house, as they are attracted to the heat. And once inside, they will constantly crawl on the ceiling, walls and floor. And while even the presence of these beetles in the house is unpleasant in itself, if disturbed, they can emit an unpleasant smell, as well as spit out a yellowish liquid that can stain your surfaces. Some people may experience allergic reactions to these beetles, especially if there are a lot of them. The most common reactions include eye problems, hay fever, cough, asthma, and hives. The process can be triggered either by contact with beetles, or simply by being in the same room with them. Asian ladybirds can be aggressive and even bite if they get caught on the skin. This can be both self-defense and a natural tendency to bite in search of food. And although these insects really help to get rid of pests in the garden or vegetable garden, they can become a real problem in the vineyard, as they are often collected together with grapes, which eventually ends up with an unpleasant smell and taste of wine due to the protective reactions of this ladybug. - Read more at FB.ru: http://fb.ru/post/nature/2015/11/12/2755

And the picture still hung:
To be honest, I don't know if it's appropriate to throw such a thing at this topic, but I didn't find another suitable one. In short-just the planet Pir/Pandora of some kind!

Now I'm watching a video where a translator insults a swallowtail with a "tailed moth"...
I'm just wondering, does it voice machine translation? Or does the video voice output occur separately from what is happening on the screen? Or had this linguist really never seen a swallowtail in his life? Or in Russian, the accent in the word "Pyadenitsa" can be placed on the second vowel?

https://youtu.be/oOYv5mO6xWI

I look further, and find out that this very caterpillar (swallowtail) emits (with the help of a retractable organ) "An extremely unpleasant nauseating smell"!... Well, it's not really a matter of the translator either?!

Metallic blue... Blue was the author. And I had it once in the city of Sochi: people saw a bindweed hawk moth and said: "Hummingbird!" Hummingbird!" I tried to explain that it was a hawk moth, to which one lady said to me: "You are a hawk moth yourself!" I even wrote a short story based on this story: https://www.proza.ru/2013/10/30/1952. frown.gif
