Maintenance of Orthoptera

In general, I don't understand this... Why pit two strong insects together? Isn't it easier to feed the same rack with horse races or locusts?

The rack probably doesn't need to be fed already - it has become very fat. In general, I usually do.
By the way, here in my opinion is quite a good article about the content of erect wings: http://www.insectaria.ru/articles/sadki_pryamokrilie.html

Thank you for your kind feedback, but I've covered up the article for now - I'm moving it to another site. It opens in two months, then I'll post a working link here.

Well, yes, it's a bit strange to cover up something there. An article about pryamoptera. Who is interested in it, except for a few fans who are hundreds and thousands of kilometers away from each other?!
Copying...bid-bid...

By the way, I find it strange that there are very few blacksmiths this year. Almost nowhere to be heard. And you can't hear all the straight-winged birds in a row.
Last year there were a lot of them.

Well, it's not just about the article, although also, it would be good form towards readers to leave information on the old one before creating a new site. But although, as we say-the owner is a gentleman))

And your grasshoppers are spoiled Summer is what you have, the heat is right, is it really hot for them? We have not had rain since July 1, the temperature in the morning is +23, and in the afternoon +33 constantly, and everything is basically more or less in place. Although, it smells like fires, and very strong ones. But grasshoppers just basically all have already spawned, this is mainly the problem of locusts, some of them are steaming here as early as the end of September.

The other day I caught Saga pedo in the mountains of Bayanaul (KZ,Pavlodar region) and today it was deposited in the soil, here is a photo

Personally, I immediately ignore such sites, not, well, okay, like illegal placement and reproduction of materials and the like, lost profit, but so that for quoting ( a quote is actually a small piece of text indicating authorship) and copying (copying is always performed automatically when you open the page, including copying performed by the nervous system itself, built on the principle of reflecting reality) to go to the bow Is a tin, after viewing this site, you need to take a pill of amnisin, or each time you first ask for permission by email to act as a reflection of this reality? )))))

IMHO, copywriting is something that will eventually stop the development of thought and plunge the world into darkness.

So what, maybe they didn't write it seriously, so that someone wouldn't take it away. It happens that the text is displayed in another blog from a different person, which is very disgusting. I think this was meant, and that would be so to do you need to contact the author, but the citation with the indication of authorship I think in spite of everything it is quite appropriate, it should be.
Well, about the measures to scare, of course, as without this, in other things, the availability of information is always much better than its absence.
Regarding the collection of right-winged birds in Europe, especially specific species, I found an interesting route with a detailed description, here... http://www.viapontica.com/orthoptera.htm

Very nice and detailed shot! I think I need to wait two years - when I kept the eggs of the dybka I did not expect them to come out in the middle of winter - I thought that they died, but no, they are very persistent, there were more problems with the larvae, they already come out by the way centimeter, but this is true for the Turkish species saga natoliae... if you identified it correctly...

To be honest , I didn't understand anything.
The site from the first to the last article was written by me personally, without copying texts from anyone. And I didn't put a copy ban on it either. So I just don't know what I've done or who I've offended.
I'm currently moving my site to another domain that is already active - my own domain. Where it will be one of the sections. That site is more visited, so the content on it will be more useful than on a small site with a traffic of 2 people per day. What's so bad and what's so scary?

I got too excited about two months - Google has already removed closed pages from the index, so in a couple of days, as soon as the Yandex database is updated and cleared of old addresses, I will start transferring publications. I can't not delete the pages beforehand - search engines will ban them for copy-paste, then write and figure out what I copied myself... Simply put, if you'll excuse me generously.

By the way, the article is not about the content of straight-winged birds, but only about the design of cages for them - as I see it. I am ashamed to write about the content yet - this topic contains much more information.

Sergey Titov, wonderful photos!
We also seem to have dybki somewhere, but I've never met them, although I go to the steppe regularly. It would be interesting to have one for yourself.

By the way, gentlemen, how long do dybki imagos live under good conditions? Until winter, or can they last more than a year?

Brrr ))
No hard feelings, just schizoid feelings appear when on a site with the name "House without keys", which, as I understand it, implies friendliness and trust in the user,
on each page there is an inscription quoted by me(note, with a copywriter sign so that if anything, there is no lawsuit in court), the meaning of which can be briefly described. describe it as "you, the visitor, are a potential thief, you will be scolded, but don't steal!!! "

Well, Turkish dybki like and so hatched, but who has our hatched?? I kept the eggs for three years and they didn't hatch. Something else to try..

So what, maybe they didn't write it seriously, so that someone wouldn't take it away. It happens that the text is displayed in another blog from a different person, which is very disgusting.

Have you ever seen anything like this? What you have written is called plagiarism, and it really is theft, as there is an assignment of authorship. But I have never seen taokgo either with my writing or in other cases, in 90% of cases the text is simply copied without specifying authorship at all, in 10% of cases the authorship is indicated and the link is put, but so that they sign with their own name, I have not seen this!
All the hype and whining is banal copywriting, because

Unfortunately, in the Kuban virgin steppes remained with gulkin nose... In the Mostovsky district there is not much, and in general it is closer to Stavropol. The central, western and northern parts are almost completely plowed.

As for the warning , I'll think about what can be changed in a more friendly way.

Yes, and with a random right-click, this thing climbs out on the full screen - well, even the declared copywriters do not allow this, usually everything is quiet and peaceful, but when you select the "copy" function, a bolt with a left thread is formed in the buffer))
After all, on the right mouse button, as it were, not only the copy function is clogged.

Yes, and what is most interesting, all this does not prevent you from copying the page at all... someone who can
sorry for offtop

KM2200, well, yes, it is known after all-locks - for honest people Again-the owner is a gentleman, but just the name of the site and such a "lock" cause just an avalanche of emotions And by the way for some reason I remembered the movie like this - "the key to all doors"

Come on, from Google you can see that you have enough virgin land in the gullies, it's not necessary that there is a crazy steppe from edge to edge. Dybkam important lack of plowing at least on a piece of land literally in a matter of meters. There are reports of micro-populations in areas where there are gas water columns and power lines.

Here is such a Turkish rack came out of the egg. There were about 4 of them...

Eastern locusts, or East Asian locusts. Apparently-Locusta migratoria manilenses. Who maintained, or can there be a culture? Is it really possible to get them in Russia/Ukraine?

Some very small version for the migration site. I caught one this summer, it was almost 8 cm long (at the tips of the wings). But more often shistotserka, it seems to be called, no? It is available in Moscow, a familiar feed facility.

And I, as promised, post a link to the page on cages for straight-winged birds. However, do not expect much. It is quite small, and the cages themselves are very primitive.

It looks like a migratory one! The photo is more of a herd phase, and the size is not surprising, but in theory they should be really large, or maybe just a big finger in the photo. I met them on the marshy area by the lake, on the sands right in the suburbs of Kiev, but once. The single phase is not so common for me. It's real to find, it rarely comes across, I'm not sure about the latter.

Well, this is Locusta migratoria, not a bad one? Caught in Krasnodar in mid-July, on the wall of a residential building. The diameter of the ring is 35 mm, respectively, the entire animal is more than 8 cm was exactly...

The size of the locust I caught was the same.

And what are the Dendrobium's in the photo? Can I ask you something?"

Yes, the usual hybrids from the garden center, affected by rust. In the background is some pink King-based, under locust white-flowered nobile form. I went out already, fortunately, although it was not easy.

Who can tell me exactly? I can't track down exactly where in nature t. viridissima lays its eggs. Once in the summer I saw her sitting on a bush with her ovipositor bent to her head, and even in the fall an old ragged female who tried to break through the ground with it(it seems instinctive - there were no eggs in the ground or in it). I know for sure that gray and albifrons deposits in the sand, on the edges of mounds, in prlysins on the turf, old molehills or abandoned anthills one by one, I found it myself, pale matte color. And yet - can they(green) lay formed, but unfertilized eggs? Here I read on your forum that the songbird lays in plants.. Incubated, hatched, kept caught from September right up to the 20th fefral! But where to find green eggs???? In those places where nahoshchu eggs gray and albifrons-brown eggs viridissim-just not!

Tettigonia vridissima, like cantans, lays its eggs in the soil. Maybe you just didn't get any eggs. Unfertilized eggs were laid by Turkish bush lovers, but representatives of the drymadusini tribe did not.

Here I read on your forum that the songbird lays in plants.. Incubated, hatched, kept caught from September right up to the 20th fefral!

Probably you mixed up - in plants lays plastinopryl, this was written on the forum.
And how did your chorister survive until February?Under what conditions?Mine lived until mid-November, at most.

Rare isolated cases. Maybe without "worms" caught. In the past rainy and cold August, I met dried-up living half-corpuscles, which shocked me.

I caught a songbird on October 10 (Volkhov, 2009). It was small and green (late form). He kept it in an ordinary plastic box, fed it white berries from city bushes, mountain ash and lettuce. Drinking bowl, from protein-dry gammarus. You can't use insects!!! They can't digest them in captivity along with the parasites. Grasshoppers caught in autumn and planted on insect food, even partially, after a certain number of days, swell up, become sluggish and die. Parasites from food are sharply activated in the heat. In summer , you can. And the old, brown, ragged male last year lived from October 1 to December 4. Dried up alive... you can say, by his death) the same food.
So, what is drymadusini? Although this is not the main thing. The main thing is that eggs from a dead viridissima female found on arable land in October (15 pcs) can hatch in the spring? And the males stopped singing about 10 days ago before I found her. Damn.... suddenly they are pacifiers, like laying hens. And in appearance - mature, as in the photo above - that asexual rack is even darker. I would have dialed from live in the summer, but I can't appear in Rostov before October ((

A couple more tips for long-term maintenance are soil. Finely picked dry leaves, filled under the lid. Straw and twigs are not allowed if it accidentally slips, jumps, or gets stuck with its paw? - reset instinct is triggered. And we don't need koleks!) I read that many people complain about losing their paws. Here! And why the soil is under the very cover, because it is closer to the air(top), and less will fall and slide, since the suction cups of the old ones lose their stickiness in a week, due to the lack of natural conditions.
There are more options, your own tricks--
1)One chorister lived with me from autumn to April. I kept the first stage of the larva in the refrigerator, and occasionally took it out - by November it was pre-pre-imago.
2) Eggs laid by a healthy female were incubated and put in the refrigerator in April, in the soil with water. When the bay hatching does not work and lasted until the fall. In September, they hatched from eggs.
These methods may not work. I didn't have to do it year after year. Then the eggs are not fertilized or will rot, and the first egg will die in the refrigerator if I don't take it out in time to breathe and shed it. Who likes it-there are plenty of options!

AND WHAT exactly do they lack from natural conditions?
I don't get it. The cages are small, the sun is not hot, the airing is poor, there are no fogs? So you can organize it. After all, what exactly is missing?
I'd rather tell you what to do with the parasites.

1) A very important factor is that the blacksmith lived a long time ! There are not enough daily temperature changes. This is the mode. Just don't laugh - they also have bedtime. This is before dawn, when the temperature drops by several degrees and humidity rises. During these hours, they freeze. (they are asleep...while in the room, it continues its round-the-clock activity)
2)Parasites.. This is almost unavoidable in the old ones. As well as the spread of black fungi on the belly and others. invisible ones.. The process is running. But, - A dry environment, lack of insect food and a temperature of 12-15 degrees can delay it. Since parasites are not in the ground and grass, but in the very same place. In general , the earlier caught - the longer it will live, easier to acclimatize in the heat(for keeping in the room). My old one, caught in October last year, lived on a loggia from +15 to+3. Zdoh, when the specific frosts came, I left him there to die, not bringing him into the room. Question -Have you noticed the sudden death of old ones after cleaning the cage and replacing the grass?

In my opinion, interesting information

So:
1. Fogs only do harm.
2. The sun is hot. LEDs and without lensing solidly warm, and if you lensing one, the effect will increase. Under the LED lamp with lensed LEDs, wallpaper burnout is observed on the wall.
3. It's not for nothing that I organized the hood, but not very effective, there is still a place to put this one on the backlight like. Just don't look at the price, I bought them without the "1" in the price. The seller made a little mistake, it seems. And immediately after my purchase, I finished it))
I bought this for the aquarium, but I feel that I will take it for the terrchik and at some completely indecent price.

I had T. caudata hatched at the end of February, then another one in mid-March. but they were somewhat sluggish and soon died.
