Africa

I looked at the photo of my colleague from Egypt with pleasure. For 2 trips there, we managed to collect little. The sea is beautiful. That yes.
We have 22 now. Nice weather. Real winter.

Egypt.Marsa Alam 260km south of Hurghada.The temperature is 26-28 degrees.There are very few insects, mostly flies and ants.One hawk moth (like Hyles livornica is weak in butterflies), many small butterflies (moth-like creatures).All around is a desert, nothing lives in what falls out of the camel (manure), it is visible very dry.But the sea is awesome.

- EGYPTIAN HERON (Bubulcus ibis) - a male in an extramarital outfit-this is my element!

I'm sorry, Andreas, for taking your bread away from you,but the Arabs were pointing at them and shouting that they were sacred birds,so I had to click.

This is from the expedition of Kovtunovich, Sochivko, Anikin, Ustyuzhanin in Malawi. I wish you all a great New Year's mood!!!

I offer you a short report on fishing in South Africa and Lesotho from February 25 to March 25 this year. In South Africa at this time of autumn...
So: pictured is a small private nature reserve just a short drive from Pietermaritzburg in southeastern South Africa. Lots of daytime butterflies and ticks!

Moving west. Very weak at night. The day is also not so hot for butterflies. Beetles are much better.

Great place-lots of beetles on acacia blossoms, but..... one swing of the net and it remains forever in the terrible thorns of the killer tree (nets).

Pavel, welcome back!:)

And what is the screen made of?

And here we were taken for one place and taken to the police station. Of course, they apologized later, but the night and day were hopelessly ruined...

Yes, the screen is gorgeous.

At the congress, I hope, there will still be sawyers and all sorts of interesting things for sale?

Here in such places we came across Manticora and Anthia!

Are Antium and Manticore many species?

People! Wait a minute! I read all messages, but I upload photos and can't respond. Soon pictures of mattresses will go!

Ceroplesis capensis is endemic to the Southern Cape. Got caught on three bushes on a bunch of square kilometers. kilometers...

A wonderful place, do not give not to take-Kyrgyzstan. Everything is eaten and you can catch it in a couple of places near the border. Colias electo (very rare) and Pontia helice (often) fly. On the flowers - Anisonyx.

We are looking forward to photos of mattresses And in general all photos are interesting to see

And the mushrooms are white! Redheads and russula also grow there. And also fly agarics. And the whole buzz is that the mushrooms were brought once, and the mushroom mosquitoes were forgotten... beauty!

Well, okay, mattresses are mattresses.... can I also post a tattoo?
On mattresses - photos from the middle of the trip with Vernon Krookes. The last two were already filmed in Moscow. Naturally, this is not all. Butterflies, Erect wings, Praying Mantises, and most of the mur. lions were not captured. Darklings and duplicates and a whole lot more.

Oh, Zhukov-would still.

Photos of beetles will be included in the report of Lesha Yakovlev (both Anthia and Manticora, etc.). He shot more, and I caught more. Unfortunately, one thing always gets in the way of the other...

Will any of the ground beetles appear in the topic "Buying-selling-Exchanging insects"?

Amazing fees!!! At the time of opening the museum
How did you manage to get all this wealth out, and most importantly-to import it?

Something will definitely appear in the speed section! While the stage of disassembly and selection to your collection. I'll offer you almost all the little things. Some of the antiyas, there are a dozen more Calosoma and other things on non-photographed mattresses!

And here we were taken for one place and taken to the police station. Of course, they apologized later, but the night and day were hopelessly ruined...

Of course this story is also interesting to tell

Unfortunately, we managed to collect only 10 days, which can be traced on the mattress liners!!!!! 8,000 km were covered in a month!!! We watched the places! In addition, my colleagues worked for three days at the Transvaal and Natal Museums.
They took it out without any problems. Tattoo and mattresses in your luggage. If properly packed and secured, nothing will be damaged. There was a permit for fishing and export, without it, in South Africa - it is NOT POSSIBLE to catch! Nature remains only in parks and private properties, where it is extremely difficult to negotiate now!

Pavel, you're doing great!

Thank you, Pavel!
Fees beyond praise!!!

Is it difficult to get permissions?
How does the local population feel about white tourists?

The population treats white tourists with consumerism, but calmly. Permission is obtained for half a year through the museum, only for strictly defined parks, for a specific scientific topic! To be honest, it's ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get it. Just like in Australia. You can not catch in parks, but there is NO nature! Eaten and plowed for corn and cane, every last inch of it. There are no large mammals at all, they were eaten long ago, only in parks. Parks are protected as strategic objects. There are 40 million people in Johannesburg, and perhaps half of them are starving refugees scattered across the country.

oh, generally super! Beetles, butterflies, not beetles, everything is super!
I even took Passalida! I hope at least something will live to see the congress ))
especially a couple of ceropleses, if not expensive

I offer you a short report on fishing in South Africa and Lesotho from February 25 to March 25 this year.In South Africa at this time of autumn...

Pasha, this is just fantastic!!!

I discussed porcini mushrooms on Skype in South Africa:

[15: 25: 22] Andrew Zyu: in the reports of Entoterra puts pictures from South Africa ))
[17:33:29] alexeysazhnev: АААА ... cool there-your mother !!!! "There are gorillas in Africa, crocodiles in Africa ... "- all insects are class!!!
[17: 39: 47] Pavel: Yes, I'm in shock.Although it was also interesting and good in Asia
[17: 50: 57] Svyatoslav Knyazev: wow, I never thought that porcini mushrooms grow in Africa!
[17: 54: 36] Andrew Z.: yes
[18: 05: 55] Pavel: I mean the same thing
[18: 07: 12] Andrew Z.: everyone is hooked on the same thing ()
[18: 07: 14] Andrew Z.: )
[18: 07: 44] Svyatoslav Knyazev: no, well, butterfly beetles are understandable, but mushrooms!!! just like in Siberia!
[18: 08: 18] Pavel: says they brought
it[18: 08: 35] Svyatoslav Knyazev: but they got used to it!
[18: 08: 42] Andrew Zyu: and it looks like the parasites don't touch them much )
[18: 08: 52] Pavel: Why should they-there are rains, it's warm too
[18: 08: 57] Svyatoslav Knyazev: yeah, right now porcini mushrooms are colonizing Africa!
[18: 09: 12] Alexey Sazhnev: griboyedov will deliver )))
[18: 09: 39] Pavel: Porcini mushroom invasion in Africa-the local population is hiding on the islands.All 40 lemons
[18:10:18] Svyatoslav Knyazev: in Madagascar besides all
[18: 10: 38] Pavel: Johannesburg is besieged by white mushrooms!!!Mushrooms trampled corn and cane
crops[18: 10: 58] Alexey Sazhnev: The war of mushrooms and people will begin
[18: 11: 07] Pavel: WHITE people are extinguishing BLACK people again!!!
[18: 11: 14] Andrew Zyu: and they cut down forests for the sake of garbage and, there it would be better to eat mushrooms))
[18: 11: 20] Alexey Sazhnev: ahahaha Kukluks-mushroom
[18: 11: 25] Andrew Zu: (rofl)
[18:12:05] Pavel: Go Pasha and delivered it.And on the way back I gathered a crop
[18: 12: 25] Alexey Sazhnev:))) exactly
[18: 12: 47] Alexey Sazhnev: this is a dummy and a divorce for the first of April ... don't trust anyone all April ))
[18: 13: 30] Pavel: No, I don't think so...Something white and red should stay in South Africa
[18:14:01] Alexey Sazhnev: White directors of diamond quarries and mushrooms
there[18: 14: 03] Pavel: Soon mushrooms will be plowed and diamonds will be extracted...
[18: 14: 48] Pavel: I wonder if the black ones from the white mushroom are rushing???!
[18: 15: 16] Svyatoslav Knyazev: well, we are not pret from black mushrooms - black mushrooms for example
[18: 15: 42] Pavel: We are from Asian pret...From the yellow-brown
ones [18:15:59] Alexey Sazhnev: from the Mexican ones they say too )))
[18: 16: 01] Andrew Zyu: we are all pret)) and from their own, but not white..
