It's a pity that it rained today and I didn't find any caudates.(

27.08.2017 18:43, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

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.

In Arkhipo-Osipovka were probably until mid-August, even in the Caucasus can meet an Egyptian filly, which will definitely infuriate an amateur entomologist,I found Ruspolium in huge quantities.

27.08.2017 18:44, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

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

Albifrons was fed a fly and released.

Caught today 2 caudates and prusa italica (Calliptamus italicus). I'll post the photo later.

29.08.2017 9:40, Decticus

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

Nikita, damn it, you were right.I guess all the females are in the trees somewhere, but I only found a few males.
Interestingly, the situation is similar with other tettigonias. Here, for example, are cantanzes. When they are still predimago, there are almost more females than males. Then they all grow up and I can hardly find a female cantans. There are only chirping males.
Or here's another viridissima in the Crimea. When I was there this summer, I saw a lot of males in the field and only two females that were sitting too high on the bushes and I couldn't catch them.

29.08.2017 10:19, Kolez

But it's true. By the way, Grigory wrote about this, that female tettigonia cantans climb trees and tall bushes, and descend only during the laying of eggs (if I remember correctly). If I wanted to keep kantans, I always tried to catch females in the spring, because then they really can't be found. Even at the age of the larva, they are more mobile and easier to meet, but still if you meet a female imago in the grass, it is quite bouncy. I hadn't thought about it before..

29.08.2017 10:39, Decticus

In 2011, I caught purely by chance those 2 female caudates in the country, when watering the bushes with a hose. So we flew out of there. I found only males in the fields.

Kolez, how are your locusts that were bought at the pet store? By the way, where did you buy it and for how much?

29.08.2017 14:01, Kolez

Decticus, On m. Petrogradskaya in the store "Zavr zoo" for 20 rubles per predimago, you can also use an adult. While everyone is alive, they eat clover and sedge))

29.08.2017 14:06, Decticus

Wow, so cheap.

29.08.2017 14:12, Kolez

And they are there for food for spiders and lizards, that's cheap, I think. You can also buy different crickets there, but I wasn't interested in the price. I'll post a molt of locusts later, and then something doesn't want to be laid out from the phone.

29.08.2017 14:28, alex017

Once I saw a large locust on sale for food and did not buy it, because it was winter, there was no ready-made terrarium. After that, I watched her in the store for a couple of years to no avail. By the way, for ENO. That's why I first grabbed a leafy plant, and then began to look for food.
Crickets are sold under our order in the contact zoo, 200r/100 pcs. And that's lucky, because to maintain the culture completely, you need too many cages. Three are missing. And there is not enough space at home.

29.08.2017 14:36, Decticus

In St. Petersburg in the pet store "4 paws" I saw on sale two-spotted crickets 500 rubles
100 pcs.

29.08.2017 19:35, alex017

We have ordinary house crickets. I don't know about the two-spotted ones, but brownies yell like that decently. Especially 200pcs, which I bought the first time, so I take a hundred.
By the way, I found this supplier by reading the forums.
In the pet store, crickets are more expensive, probably the same 400-500re

So ENO will never come here again,but how are the leaves?

29.08.2017 20:27, Kolez

Why is that?

29.08.2017 20:34, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

He said he wasn't coming.

30.08.2017 5:48, alex017

They still seem to live.

30.08.2017 9:17, Decticus

So ENO will never come here again,but how are the leaves?

ENO comes here occasionally, but it's just that he doesn't seem very interested in straight-winged birds.

30.08.2017 9:21, Decticus

NIKITA, are you holding someone now? Tell us, share photos, it's better than discussing whether ENO will come or not.)

30.08.2017 9:46, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

I don't keep anyone(except acrid,which is drying),yesterday I went to a well-known place again.

These are the stubs we get

30.08.2017 9:58, Decticus

It was always a pity for disabled grasshoppers who lost their paws or whiskers.

30.08.2017 10:01, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

And here are the only photos of grasshoppers from the Black Sea.We also have such decticuses.

I always feel sorry for blacksmiths when they are eaten by mantises.

30.08.2017 10:06, Decticus

It also happens the other way around. Vaughn, I think you wrote yourself that you saw albifrons eat a mantis.

30.08.2017 10:15, NIKITA TIMOSHEV

I even made a video about albifrons and the mantis, link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bltpsGRGeQo

30.08.2017 11:40, Hierophis

Alex, wow, "stubs" are like a long-winged verrucivorus!

30.08.2017 11:58, alex017

I did not catch him (her) on purpose, but took the elytra sitting on the path by the elytra. Long-winged, but almost no wings. The ovipositor is stratified into two parts.
I'm not talking about the unwillingness to bite me and the lack of hind legs. And this is during the day, the heat was OK +20.

30.08.2017 13:28, Decticus

Is this a longwing? in my opinion, the most common with wings of medium length

30.08.2017 13:38, alex017

Yes, the same as in the hands of Nikita

30.08.2017 13:42, Kolez

Nikita albifrons has the same number.

30.08.2017 13:46, Decticus

so, long-winged verrucivores are not only found in the south

However, not so long ago we discussed this. Kolez found them in LO; I saw them occasionally, too...

I also met short-wings, not quite like loudoni in European photos, of course, but nevertheless the females had a clearly longer abdomen than the wings, and the males simply did not stick out their wings, unlike those that are usually found. I've seen them around Tosno.

31.08.2017 8:42, Decticus

I met one such short-winged female in the Crimea; all the other verrucivores there were with wings of the usual length and a few long-winged ones.

31.08.2017 11:46, ИНО

So subspecies ( at least some of them) - in the furnace.

31.08.2017 14:54, Kolez

ENO, I always thought it was like animal breeds. Or maybe it's like gigantism, who knows..

31.08.2017 15:59, ИНО

Rocks are a human creation. Subspecies are created by nature. The main criterion of a subspecies is the presence of some kind of natural barrier that prevents free crossing. Usually these are geographical barriers: mountain ranges, seas, deserts, etc. In the case of sympatric habitats of two animal forms, there is a serious doubt about their subspecies status. Probably, in fact, they are either completely different species, or, on the contrary, groups of individuals that do not have taxonomic status (for example, blue-eyed and brown-eyed people). Unfortunately, almost none of the modern entomologists-taxonomists does not check the consistency of subspecies by any objective methods before describing them. Everything is based on such an abstract concept as authority. It is necessary to state that zoological systematics is still at the stage of formation.

Kolez, female cantans are easily found in the field and meadow areas. For example, near the shoulder of railway roads. In the leaves of matimachikha with the morning rays, they can always be found, basking sideways to the sun. And especially in the autumn.

01.09.2017 7:19, Kolez

GrigorY66, but really, when was the last time I went out early in the morning to nature? The last time was probably in my childhood. Indeed, in the morning I easily met female songbirds, even once I was lucky enough to watch a fly hunt on a mother-and-stepmother leaf covered with dew.
