1-point populations associated with terrain biotopes

I still wanted to ask.. large swamp fillies in LUO territory are common or rare? It's just that I've only met them in one place and in small numbers.

23.08.2017 11:20, alex017

In the territory near Perm, marsh mares are [very rare in my opinion].
I didn't find any this year.
I know their local habitats, which coincide with the growth of a certain grass. Wherever there is this herb, you should look for them, but not everywhere they are. Eggs are laid on blades of grass in free access for eating. If in the fall you climb on your knees in the habitats (near the ground), you can find. The size of eggs like decticus is approximately.
It was this filly that I planned to keep. But the terrarium was made late, the grass did not grow in it. Whether that particular grass grows at all is a question. And not to catch them this year-no clean. Two fishing trips instead of fishing in the grass, I was looking for them in vain.

But we have Aiolopus thalassinus also found in small quantities, where there are reeds of low growth(during and after the rain), on the river bank and in any places after the rain.

23.08.2017 16:54, Kolez

Alex017, I was lucky enough to catch 2 individuals, both females, I keep in the same terra with locusts. But I never found a single male.

23.08.2017 17:48, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

But you can take a photo.

23.08.2017 22:41, Kolez

I'll drop it later. I also bought 5 Schistocerca gregaria specimens at a pet store. They live with mares. Aiolopus thalassinus Met in Sochi, right on the territory of the city, growing just with a swamp filly))

Um, is this locusta migratoria?I thought I saw desert locusts.

24.08.2017 12:37, Kolez

Didn't show up, desert locust smile.gif

24.08.2017 12:42, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

Where was she found?"

24.08.2017 14:07, Decticus

Nikita, he wrote that he bought it at a pet store.
I am currently in the city of Yoshkar-Ola (Mari El Republic). Yesterday I caught a caudata and a shrub, the first time I find it there. Another bicolorana bicolor caught. I'll post the photo later, sometime in early September.

Aiolopus grows to the size of blue-winged fillies.

24.08.2017 14:18, Decticus

Kolez, yes, you have a lot of pets: locusts of two types, and fillies, and grasshoppers of all sorts))...

Decticus, aha, forced the whole windowsill, predators all live separately by species, and locusts settled in one aquarium. At first I planted them oats and other sedge plants, but something went wrong and a lot of mold got started, the grass began to die, so I changed the soil to a litter of leaves. Although in a large aquarium with decticus plants too, but the mold does not start, strange.. maybe because there are earthworms in the ground. I also want to have a brachypter, they have a nice "song"

24.08.2017 15:26, Decticus

the entire window sill.,

This is still nothing.) Judging by the photos that DanMar posted earlier, almost half of his room was filled with large cages made of mesh, where dybki, kustolyubki, albifrons, tettigonii and xs how many species of straight-winged animals lived)

In the meantime, I'll look for a female caudata if I can. There is one place where in 2011 I came across 6 caudatas and only 2 cantatas, although there are usually more in this area.

If there is high grass,then there will be a lot of caudates, I saw a bunch of caudates in the center of my city,in a place where there was a bunch of reeds,also high grass,there are low trees nearby(only 1 meter),in all these places there were caudates.

24.08.2017 19:36, Decticus

Yeah, thanks for the tip. But I don't think there will be many of them; it's the end of summer, after all.

24.08.2017 21:45, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

Still,they can no longer be found, the females sit somewhere in the trees, and the males attract them there.

Decticus, llc DanMar this is yes, in fact, I made a lid for a large aquarium following the example of its cages from the corners. I'd make one for myself, too, but there's a cat in the house. Probably, if I had such a large number of varieties of straight-winged birds that live at DanMar, then most likely I would have had the same thing, only in glass or carriers ))
Something it has not been seen for a year by the way..

And if it's not a secret, where will you catch caudat?

25.08.2017 7:18, Decticus

In 2012, when I was breeding caudates, I also made such a cage for myself.

And I will look for them in the village of Surok near Yoshkar-Ola (I will go there tomorrow).

It's great that there is such a possibility)) Did you manage to breed grasshoppers through a generation in captivity?

25.08.2017 12:06, Decticus

Yes, all the same caudates. In short, in 2011. I caught them for the first time; they laid their eggs. The following year, 15 grasshoppers hatched. They also postponed it. In 2013m, 8 eggs were hatched, i.e. almost 2 times less, plus 2 cantans and verrucivorus (apparently their eggs came from the ground). And in 2014 - only 2 female caudates...

Can I have a photo of your big aquarium?

26.08.2017 0:16, Kolez

Great, great experience, it's a pity that the decline of course was the birth of new grasshoppers..
I would like to do something similar. I hope it will work out with gray jumps,but there are few hopes, because I have never heard the" song " of a male, although he has long been an imago.

About the aquarium: it may not be as big as you might think, but it takes up half the window))

The first time I decided to try to breed grasshoppers (decticus and cantans) last year, but it didn't work out.. Late the aquarium was removed to the loggia. The next year, in April, only the fillies were hatched, which I caught for food. This year I will not delay.

The first decticus died today, it's a little early. Maybe she's sick with something.

Kolez, I also found larvae of marsh mares(pink) in late October in Khanty (2008). But the Spartan conditions did not allow for maintenance. I still don't understand what they need for normal molting. When I brought her home, one survived until January, and the rest died at the same time, even before arrival. Although the conditions created the same, except for the temperature. But the larvae had to survive? Food structure? Moss?

26.08.2017 13:28, Decticus

Nikita, what did ENO do to you? You shouldn't be talking about him like that.

And I put a plastic container with the soil where the eggs were laid in the refrigerator. And the grasshoppers started to hatch in the refrigerator, and in winter!

About decticuses: now in Yoshkar-Ola they are already mostly old, shabby; they are noticeably less than in LO.

Nikita, what did ENO do to you? You shouldn't have said that about him.

Apparently, his favorite one-hole system of keeping grasshoppers was torn up by the Tiantan flag. Nikita, run faster, and dig out the cache in a dark place just in case of fire.

Decticus, I read about your experience, it's just no words)) I hope this happens. I want to keep my pets not only in the summer, as I always did.

I caught that female in mid-May at the stage after hatching from the egg, and it may have outlived its term. But the funny thing is that a week ago I caught a fresh female verrucivorus imago with soft wings and a light shade. Nature in our region has gone crazy, I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next..

2 years ago, at the very end of August, I found predimago verrucivorus. On September 1, it faded. True, I released it later, I should have left it. I wonder how long he would have lived...

27.08.2017 9:53, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

I heard viridissima yesterday and caught an albifrons almost whole.

27.08.2017 11:50, Kolez

Oh, these albifrons, I thought I'd find them in Sochi, yeah, right now! I didn't even find it in Tuapse. I went to the railway station, looking for glades, but I didn't find anything except ruspolia and shrubbery, I didn't even hear a single click of albifrons, only the chirping of cicadas above my head. Viridissima and the grey races saved the day, but I wanted the albifrons. And now I don't know when I will be able to take them for myself, at least eggs.

27.08.2017 12:23, Decticus

Kolez, what kind of bushes were there? In the Crimea (the village of Chernomorskoye near Yevpatoria), where I recently visited, I did not meet any bush-loving plants and ruspolias, but there were a lot of albifrons and viridissi; I even found two dybos.

did you put albifrons in a jar or do you already have a normal terrarium?))

Decticus, an ashy shrub. There are mostly mountain deciduous forests (as it turned out) and they sit right in the fallen leaves. Ruspoliy found plastinokrylov in the same place and in the clearings along the railway tracks. I met Isophius last night,but this is in the mountains, where I caught Viridissima.

ashy shrubby plants

It is clear, and then I thought, maybe anadrimaduzu retovsky found.

Decticus, if only, I then immediately took how much would fit)
