Australia and Oceania

I do not know, I did not ask her to sit down like that . At this time, we were finishing the last game. Les made his move, and I made mine, the final one. The result is this photo.

A good report, you should try Vorkuta.....And then it's warm and warm, but what about the extreme weather, with wildebeest and mosquitoes, and in July a snowball flies by and you freeze in the tent? Although I was tormented by the North, and I would love to go to the tropics, but to enjoy it, you must first feed the wildebeest for several years in the north of different!

An interesting hint If you get caught doing "this thing", what's going on?

On the contrary, I'll take a steam bath first , and then climb into the ice hole . Bathhouse, but on the top shelf, too, you need to taste .
What do you think the Chief of Staff decided to mow down? If there is an order, there will be execution. For Entomological special forces, the whole Earth is a small Homeland.

I forgot to tell you more about how I was robbed at Guangzhou airport by uskoglazye bastards ( I apologize for the vyr.).
This time I changed my traditions – to take a generator with me. As it turned out, it saved him, but it didn't save the cooking tile. I took the tile a hundred times on a trip, checked it in my luggage and never had any problems. I did the same this time. Flying South China Airlines was not new to me, I had already flown this route in 2011. To Tasmania. And at that time I took a generator with me. It flew to Hobort and back (to Moscow) all safe and sound.
This time, when I arrived in Melbourne, for the first time in my life, I didn't see my luggage on the protractor. At first, I thought that my backpack had fallen into an oversized load, and I had to look for it somewhere there. But after 45 minutes of searching and waiting, it finally dawned on me that my luggage was missing. I went to the baggage search and a smart black guy found it in five minutes not in Melbourne, but in Guangzhou. I was confused. The backpack contained everything: a net, a tent, a sleeping bag, a mattress , insect bins, a screen, a car inverter, wires, lamps, etc., etc., etc." What the hell is he doing there?" He looked at the computer, read something there, and says to me, " Sorry mister, your luggage was delayed because they found almost a can of gasoline there." "What, what flemable liquid? It was just my tile with the remnants of the smell of gasoline, " I tell him. The guy throws up his hands. I have no choice but to accept it and arrange for these freaks from China to return at least the backpack with the rest of its contents. The plane from Guangzhou flies every day, and we make an appointment to meet at the airport tomorrow.
By noon, I get my luggage turned upside down and without a stove. It takes me a whole day to find a cooking tile. In Australia, I did not find small compact tiles, but I did find a good gas stove on cans. In general, I spent one day waiting for my luggage, and one day looking for a new tile.
On the way back, I'm going to pick up a boil in Guangzhou, and try to get the stolen stove back. "You're a naive dude," I would say to myself later. Do you think anyone at Guangzhou International Airport knows English? Take a bite and take a break from this thought! It took me a good hour to find the office of the carrier company (South China Airlines) and find a person who can transport from English to Chinese and back. The kid ran with me, of course, but he couldn't help me. In China, it is not customary to be very indignant, and the carrier company absolutely does not care about the client and his luggage. The company is responsible for safe air travel to the destination and back, and the airport security service can open luggage without the owner's knowledge and remove anything that it considers suspicious from there. Here, everyone works on their own behalf and for themselves, and is not responsible for anyone. Nonsense. I sat at the airport for seven hours, waiting for the next flight, and no one announced my name on the radio. An hour before boarding the plane, it was also possible to solve this problem. None of the above was done. Whatever. You can imagine a situation where if something serious happens, you won't find any ends at all.
Tiles fly from Moscow to Urumqi, no problem. Then it takes off from Urumqi to Guangzhou and I don't get it in Melbourne – this is the verdict of fate.
P.S. I bought a ticket from this company because I have already flown this route before. Because the cost of the flight was ten thousand cheaper than the Emirates. As a result, I lost a lot of time and nerves. I lost a tile worth $ 200. The question is, what did I save? Nothing!
Now I'll buy a stove again, buy a backpack with locks ( on sun. Case) and I will fly to the Emirates . I won't fly through freaking China again, and I won't go to it myself, no matter what insects fly there. This will be an exception to the rule, which is a pity...

The lack of biodiversity in the Southern parts of Australia (including insects) can be attributed to "infrequent" weather events that cause fires in Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia. To date, the fire has covered 40 thousand hectares of forest. Mostly lowland forests are burning. A weather anomaly that occurred more than a month ago (Southern Oscillation) flooded Bolivia with water. and it dried up the Southern part of Australia (thanks at least for not touching Queensland and South Wales). Thanks to the "development of the economy", abnormal processes have accelerated, and now they are occurring more frequently-every second year!
The equatorial waters are so hot that they allow several anomalies to occur simultaneously (on the one hand, the Southern Oscillation, on the other, the Icelandic Depression). The Gulf Stream met a cold current from Canada (which had already weakened after turning into ice at Niagara Falls), forming an Icelandic low. As a result, England went under water, and in Moscow it became warm as in March. Sochi will also get it! Snow may melt until the end of the Olympic Games. The right insects will fly out according to the plan ( if you have passed the "fire and copper pipes"), while the forage plants will be able to adapt to the weather leapfrog.

spread out the Australian tonkworms, kindly presented to me by Roman!
Aenetus ligniveren (Lewin, 1805) female


I haven't determined the second one yet, but I think it's something from Aoraia


Roman, please send us the detailed labels on them.

... and there was also a Turkish one, from Kachkar NP. It needs to be carefully studied , it is not from the Caucasus ...

Turkish is also spread out! it just doesn't fit this theme

Romyald, you are not just a traveler, entomologist and collector, but a real writer and artist!

Kosciuszko NP, NSW

Finally managed to identify this beast!
Oncopera intricoides Tindale, 1933

Do you see the forest? Don't even try to approach it! Everything is blocked by barbed wire. Solid private property! Vic

Mountains with forest in private ownership? However...

Now don't even try to buy a ticket to Australia. Because it has become impossible for an ordinary person.
