Yes, earlier. Unfortunately, they were not popular, so I changed the topic.

Well, popularity does not come immediately)

06.11.2020 20:40, Saranchouk

No, when I stopped filming locusts, it was 30-120 views from 1-3 at once, and the change of views occurred in 1 day.

06.11.2020 20:41, Saranchouk

By the way, I want to release about locusts again, otherwise they have a lot of changes. Maybe on the second attempt something will come out

07.11.2020 9:23, Saranchouk

I dug up kanatans ' eggs yesterday - I made a mistake, there are 15 of them, not seven. They are very swollen, blackened, the shell is soft. The eggs were laid by a grasshopper that hatched in January, in May. I put it on the balcony at the end of August. Will they hatch soon?

07.11.2020 16:14, Decticus

Saranchouk, in theory, they should hatch after a longer wintering period at low temperatures, but who knows...

Saranchouk, have you purchased any migratory locusts yet?
I bought 6 specimens today.

What a coincidence, I also ordered 6 pieces of a flight ticket yesterday!!!!!

07.11.2020 20:55, Saranchouk

Yes, I know that the photo is desolate, but there are four more photos of the migratory one, and the desert has one photo of the migratory one, and four are correct. I think the photos were just a little mixed up.

The migratory bird comes in different colors and sizes, but for some reason I didn't see any green individuals in stores.

08.11.2020 15:13, Saranchouk

Well, they become a herd form when they see their own kind, they understand that there are a lot of them, I don't think that they keep each one separately in stores

08.11.2020 15:14, Saranchouk

The green one is a single one, and the rest are gregarious

08.11.2020 15:33, ИНО

As for the size difference, the males are one and a half or even two times smaller than the females, like other fillies. And females can be very large, especially solitary ones (twice as large as the largest individual in this collage). But I'm afraid you can't raise them in captivity.

ENO, have you ever managed to raise migratory locusts?

09.11.2020 9:31, ИНО

I haven't even been able to catch it in years. Very secretive lives in the reeds, quickly flies away and hides after landing. That's when we sowed corn fields (in the 90s) it was full of it, but then all my interest in it was planting on a pin.

09.11.2020 13:17, Decticus

It's clear. Do you think it's realistic to get offspring from the pet store locustas that I currently have?

09.11.2020 18:10, Saranchouk

And they are only capable of reproduction for a while? Or while they're still alive and reproducing? And then I have three out of six individuals quite old

09.11.2020 18:21, ИНО

This is my situation. Ordered locusts with delivery predimago, the order they have two days lay, then call, say that only imago is. Well, do not refuse the same order, agreed to imago. I thought at least in a normal condition will bring. Yeah, right now. Of the six pieces, four are missing one hind leg, and the wings are all battered, but to varying degrees. One straight all neatly diagonally shaved off the wings by 1.5 cm, the other slightly fluffed wings at the ends. The affected area is 0.5 cm. Question-they only breed for a while, and not all their lives, like grasshoppers, I read that the migratory makes 1-2 clutches in a month, and then lives for several months as a useless deathbed? And how to determine that they have already spawned and aged?

I read on many sites, at least 3-4, and their text is different, because now sometimes they just copy articles, changing the design. I have now seen from my own experience, the wings are biting each other a little, chirping, the first pair is already mating (less than a day has passed since they were brought) so everything is normal.

11.11.2020 15:31, Saranchouk

Second pair

11.11.2020 22:03, Saranchouk

Decticus, do you have locusts mating now?

12.11.2020 13:00, Decticus

Saranchouk, yes, one pair yesterday.

12.11.2020 16:05, Saranchouk

And another question, I'm new to breeding locusts, do they need a lot of mating, or are they like blacksmiths a week after a single egg is laid?

13.11.2020 16:37, Decticus

Saranchouk, I don't know for sure, most likely they need one mating to start procrastinating, but in general, then they can still mate several times.

The first female lays eggs jump.gif! (apparently it was paired up before the purchase)

14.11.2020 18:27, Decticus

What is the best way to feed locusts now, in the cold season? Lettuce leaf gave today, ate little. Sprouting wheat or oats?

14.11.2020 21:04, ИНО

For example, they feed sprouts of a special grain mixture for sprouting for rodent food.

15.11.2020 19:23, Saranchouk

I also saw oats for cats in the store, we have 25 rubles., I think it will fit

15.11.2020 19:27, Saranchouk

25 rubles. 300 ml trough, approximately 10 cm high

23.11.2020 2:54, Kolez

I had locusts eating parsley when I was holding it.

25.11.2020 17:22, Saranchouk

Two locusts hatched and unfortunately died almost immediately. Very strange, they all come out at once, right?

25.11.2020 20:41, Saranchouk

I bought meadow hay, produced in the Moscow region. There was this in the briquette. It looks like verucivorus.

Now I hope to find a live caudata smile.gif

26.11.2020 12:23, Decticus

Saranchouk, have you ever caught a caudat?

26.11.2020 13:33, Saranchouk

Yes, of course, only they are in the Red Book, caught 7-8 times, females laid eggs, but could not breed

26.11.2020 14:41, Decticus

In my opinion, caudat is easier to catch than viridissim. They don't fly that far and are more often found in thickets of grass than in bushes.

26.11.2020 14:48, Decticus

On iNaturalist, the last find of caudata was recorded on October 8 of this year. Did anyone come across it later?

26.11.2020 16:08, Saranchouk

Decticus, in 2017, caudata was caught on October 21, although it was already dying.

26.11.2020 16:53, Decticus

And in 2017, there were a lot of late ones.
