Can anyone translate this accurately?
In general, it says here that for collecting exhibits of flora and fauna, you face from 1 to 9 years in prison, and if It is collected in a national park, then multiply by two, i.e.: from 2 to 18..., only...

Viktor, just throw your movies on the file sharing site http://rghost.ru/ and then post the link here.

Viktor, the right half of your writing didn't fit completely into the frame, and the left half after running through the translator from Spanish and editing it looks something like this:

Se impondrán penas de uno a nueve años de prisión y el equivalente de trescientos a tres mil días multa a quién realice cualquier actividad con fines comerciales con especies de flora y fauna silvestre consideradas endémicas, amenazadas, en peligro de extinción, raras o sujetas a protección especial, así como productos y subproductos y demás recursos genéticos, sin contar con la autorización o permiso correspondiente, o que, en su caso, estén declaradas en veda.

Any activity for commercial purposes is punishable by imprisonment for a term of one to nine years and a fine equivalent to three thousand three hundred days: with species of wild flora and fauna that are considered endemic, threatened, endangered, rare or subject to special protection, as well as with their products or offal and with other genetic resources, without permission or without appropriate permission; or [with species] that are declared closed [i.e. located in a protected area?? then why the following postscript??].

This is in quotation marks, supposedly from the Code. Next - postscript:

Cuando la extracción se realisa en las Areas Naturales Protegidas ANP's) como la Reserva de la Biosfera Tehuacán - Cuicatlán, la pena se agrava hasta el doble de lo que indica el Código.

If the seizure is carried out in Protected Natural Areas, such as the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, the penalty is set twice as high as that specified in this Code.

Perhaps someone will clarify the translation.
By the way, under the guise of a quote, a very concise summary is given here, besides a very stale editorial board. The text of the article of the Criminal Code, which is "quoted" here, is different as of 2010-2011, although the prison terms are the same... In case of a need for delayed ocadrenaline, I enclose a text file for 2010 and give a link to the text for September 2011. Learn Mexican...

Minor correction: "el equivalente de trescientos a tres mil días multa" - " a fine equivalent to a term of (imprisonment?) from three hundred to three thousand days "

I read the codex provided by A. J. Elez. There, as an additional penalty for collecting material in a protected natural area, two additional years of imprisonment and a fine equivalent to up to 1000 days are provided.
Still not 18 years old.

It would not be bad in a flattened form

It's a pity Pasimachus is only one, the racehorses are gorgeous!

GlebSinon, I'm not a bugger, so we'll give out almost all the beetles or let them go for an exchange..but I will spread the butterflies by october

Hello everyone!!

I came back from Costa Rica. The trip was comical, tragic and funny))) I post part of my catch.
I would like to say thank you to Pavel Udovichenko, who with his advice set up the discipline that began to decompose in the division to be positive.

I will answer all those interested in the country and region. Write, call, visit.

p.s. Big greetings to the Chief of Staff (Romuald) for multi-level individual training.

I have Pasimachus periodically byvaet

If you need Pasimachus, please contact us. Available in 2 or 3 types.

Cool! And you can also post photos of the area and the process itself. It would be interesting to see.

I would like to say thank you to Pavel Udovichenko, who with his advice set up the discipline that began to decompose in the division to be positive.

I'm also in favor of shooting alarmists in front of the line!

P.S. Ground beetles did not arrive?

I just got back from an expedition and I'm leaving again the other day. I looked at the report... Lelik, is that all you wanted to write about our romantic tour...? Except for the phrase about alarmists, I didn't find anything. You shouldn't have panicked, where did that even come from? I think that everything went very well and was informative for a region like Latin America. Of course, not without adventures, but as without them... And I was sure that you would be more verbose and positive on this thread. You asked us to give you the initiative to write a good detailed report, but for now we only see your mattresses... You have 16 gigs of photos that I gave you. Go ahead Lelik go ahead, the beau monde is waiting...

And Lelik believes that the forum has not become interesting, although he was preparing to give his first report in the end . But at the last moment I changed my mind, or maybe I clamped down . Yes, what can I say, he did not even put down on the forum for his birthday.
P / S I would also like to know why it was necessary to take canned food to Latin America? I didn't teach him that .`

In the first half of July, I spent two weeks working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island. This laboratory, in fact, is a small village located on the shore of the harbor. Due to the measured rural setting and the fleet of yachts based nearby in the harbor, this place may seem like a resort — but, in fact, biochemists and molecular biologists gathered from all over the world work hard here.

Multiple photos of the area











The extent of my employment in the laboratory was such that I had very little time to catch insects — I mainly collected what came and crawled in the night hours on the lanterns, which were widely distributed around the territory. However, given that this was my first visit to the New World in my life, the hunting itch made itself felt, and sometimes forced me to sacrifice sleep

I must say that in a place where nature is so clearly driven into the framework and forms that man has built for it, some particularly rich catch could not be expected. Rather, I expected to see synanthropic, or at least very tolerant to humans species (like our Carabus nemoralis). In general, it turned out that way. On the other hand, the strong landscaping of the territory - especially Americans rely on a variety of junipers — and watering (which is important in the conditions of the heat prevailing there in July) creates excellent conditions for the reproduction of these most tolerant species to Americans

The first insect I came across was probably the most banal North American firefly species, Photinus pyralis. This capture was somewhat symbolic, because this species has made its contribution to the development of molecular sciences — it is from it that luciferase was isolated, which, as a reporter protein, is used in many reagent kits.




As for my nightly gatherings, they were absolutely dominated by 3 species of beetles. It's no secret that America is a country of immigrants. And this statement is true not only for two-legged creatures, but also for six-legged ones, brought here by man at different times. For some reason, they are the ones who most easily master the expanses of lawns and sleek plantings. As with the scientists working in America, the majority of immigrant beetles are Asians. The most widespread beetle in Cold Spring Harbor was imported from East Asia cruncher Exomala orientalis, which Americans call the "Oriental beetle" and consider a dangerous pest in the northeastern United States. It reaches a truly extraordinary biomass there (by the way, I've never seen such a thing performed by, say, Amphimallon solstitialis, whose larvae also develop perfectly on civil lawns). Just as extraordinary is the variety of colors of this species, from completely yellow to almost completely black, with a variety of gradations of variegation.




Another native of China, and also a terrible pest of plantings-Maladera castanea, "Asiatic garden beetle" - also came to light in completely destructive quantities. Among the crowds of castanea, I had a hard time picking out another sericina-Nipponoserica peregrina, which, as the name suggests, is an introduction from Japan. By the way, one can only wonder why I didn't come across Popillia japonica, perhaps the most widely known species of Asian crunches introduced to America.



And finally, the third mass species of beetles here, oddly enough, is an aboriginal-Cyclocephala borealis-a representative of the group of hollows, which in their habit and ecology are more similar not to hollows, but to crunches. As you might guess, it is also a pest of lawns and vegetable gardens.




Dichelonyx sp. crunch also flew in from the lamellar sawyers. and a few small aphodiinae (similar to Ataenius sp.). Other groups of beetles, except for plates, were poorly represented. In particular, there were no leaf beetles on the vegetation (did they eat them all out?), there were not many barbels, weevils and ground beetles. In general, there were no beetles larger than 1.5 cm-it is clear that American tolerance does not apply to them ) But the cows were quite numerous — Coccinella septempunctata and Harmonia axyridis, another native of Asia

Barbel Sternidius (?) sp.


Something like Stenolophus ochropezus


Of the lepidoptera, I saw a few pigeons and a large black sailboat during the day, but at night I flew a not very diverse set of scoops, crested moth, moth and all sorts of lepidoptera sheluponi.









Isn't that one of our annoying European treecreepers?" In my opinion, it is similar.


A non-partner?


Representatives of the Limacodidae family




That's how, in my opinion, a real North American bedbug should look like-kraevik


I don't know for sure, but the Americans probably call this bug "giraffe bug", or at least "okapi bug"


Some kind of American bristletail (?), one and a half times larger than our sugar flake.


In addition to the invertebrate fauna, the territory of Cold Spring was also full of larger animals. There were fearless rabbits grazing on the lawns - and a hawk lived near the building where I worked, which took full advantage of their fearlessness. Squirrels and chipmunks were also plentiful. And in the tree that grew above the bar, there was a raccoon that sometimes came to us at night.



At the end of my stay in Cold Spring, I had a little more free time, and I managed to swim and walk along the sea coast. The outliers included horseshoe crabs of all ages.












There were several species of crabs in the littoral region, including the alluring crabs that surprised me greatly with their presence at these latitudes. However, catching and photographing alluring crabs was quite difficult, as they constantly tried to escape to their burrows, near the entrance to which they usually grazed.





Finally, there is a selection of the many sculptures in Cold Spring, sometimes with a strange geometric shape, which, apparently, should emphasize the originality and unconventional thinking of the scientists working here.





And, of course, the sculpture of the double helix of DNA. It is not for nothing that the discoverer of the structure of DNA, Nobel laureate James Watson, still lives here in Cold Spring (although not to say that he works).

Very good report.Thanks!

Obviously , it was more accurate to say that the discoverer of nucleic acid was the Swiss biologist Friedrich Miescher , and the three - dimensional model was Watson Creek .

Yes, it is a male Lymantria (Porthetria) dispar (Linnaeus, 1758). Also an immigrant, by the way.

Obviously , it was more accurate to say that the discoverer of nucleic acid was the Swiss biologist Friedrich Miescher , and the three - dimensional model was Watson Creek .

I confess that I was tired by the end of writing a long report, and made an inaccuracy in the wording .
However, with all the curtsies, it would be necessary to mention Watson, Crick, and Rosalind Franklin, who made a very significant contribution to the creation of that model, but was undeservedly bypassed by the prize

Oh, to the point .
I'm sorry to bother you , but it's nice when people who put their whole lives behind an idea are remembered with a kind word.
If you can only imagine, then the time and the intensity of passions…

In the first half of July, I spent two weeks working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island. ... Rabbits grazed on the lawns, completely unafraid ...

Rabbits live in the center of Frankfurt. You can't see them during the day, but at night they graze quietly on the lawn near the ECB.

Apparently, the European ones are more timid. American birds graze calmly during the day

This is Willy-Brandt-Platz, the city center after all, trams run every two minutes, traffic flows are constant. Eared can be understood

Bourgeois people don't know how to cook them,damn it....And rabbits are a dietary and good MEAT....In addition, good beetles can live in their burrows.

Well, that's right) Despite all the built-up areas of Long Island, it is still quieter than in the center of a large city

Hello everybody!
I present to your attention a report on fishing in the USA from April to November 2014. The bulk of the fees come from New York State (Hudson Valley) and a bit from Ohio and New Jersey.
If anyone is interested in the exchange - write, I will be glad to cooperate.

Gentlemen entomologists-travelers, tell me the answer to this question: I have a friend who lives in California, we recently agreed that he would catch beetles for me there, and the question immediately became how to send them from there and in what way, how to arrange it, whether to indicate who is there, etc.? In general, describe the process, if anyone is not difficult.

Let him go to the post office in his city. They'll tell him everything there.
