Africa

To be continued...

We continue about the place Ranumafana in Madagascar. This time, the insects are from the path that you can walk to the national park for free, bypassing the ticket offices.

I welcome the definitions of indeterminates.

Chernotelka.

To be continued...

Today, two small towns are in line: dAnja Reserve and Isalo National Park. There are few insects there even in the rainy season, especially in the second, as the locations are semi-arid.

Madagascar cockroaches are often found under rocks



Or scorpions













Whitefly of the genus Belenois, there are 5 species on Mad.



Madagascar is very picturesque and colorful! Photographer there expanse!

I love South Africa, the nature is incredible . I'm also going next year, and I can't wait. I will photograph everything, animals, birds, plants, insects. I'll drop the best ones here.

January-February: Tanzania-Kenya-Uganda, then variably-Ethiopia or South Africa. Anyone interested in joining us?

Let's continue about Madagascar!

In December 2018, I rode around the north of the island with entomologists. We visited three remote national parks. I'll start with Ankarafantsik - a wonderful park with a dry deciduous type of forest. We lived right in the park in a bungalow. There were light bulbs on the veranda, but they were dim, they didn't take DRL with them.

A cool African branch mantis Popa spurca arrived.



An even more interesting ghostly praying mantis, Phyllocrania paradoxa, went to felsume for dinner.



We were lucky enough to see a rare scene of a scorpion and a centipede fighting. More precisely, its finale — the centipede was already dead…



The Damastes spider. The largest species of this genus live in the spiny forest in southern Madagascar. But even in the north of the country there are small animals.



Phromnia rosea was very abundant on the branches.



In December, the island has mango season. A basin with 4-5 kg of fruit can be purchased for 20-40 rubles. The main entomofauna on dozens of kilograms of rotting fruit lying under each mango tree is Byblia anvatara.



Ankarafantsika in December is the kingdom of caterpillars. Antherina suraka.



Borocera.



Eudocima.



You can't go to the park at night. But how not to walk when the main traffic is at night. You can skip everything that way...



A big ktyr is a small ktyrka.



Stellognatha maculata.



Callimation venustum.



There were a lot of ground beetles in the park. Which, as a ground beetle, I was very happy about. There are no carabuses on Mad, but they are successfully replaced by other genera.

Eudromus.



Pelectum.

Has no one ever been to Africa?

Why rotated photos? I have to put my laptop on its side. ;)

I recently returned from Mali. I was in Africa - and in what a country!

We are waiting for photos, very interesting!

I came across an interesting film on the topic.
