In the barn, I "caught" a hornet's nest with 2 or 3 adult wasps in a plastic container. They lived there for 2 months without water or food. At the end, their larvae hatched, the adults soon died, and the young ones lived for about a week after the adults died.
Previously, there were several such images, but they were not taken, and the internal structure of the genitals was not shown.
There is an interesting day butterfly that no one has done yet. Only females are caught. Most likely parthenogenesis.http://szmn.eco.nsc.ru/picts/butterfly/Sat...patrushevae.htm

Hello, I will buy literature on breeding butterflies, scoops, saturnia and other lepidoptera. leakerrn@gmail.com89118308770
We have comment from email: It is a Gonocerus acuteangulatus. It is not an Haploprocta sulcicornis. Look the edge of the neck : on your picture it has the same color than the pronotum: this would not be the case it it was an Haploprocta sulcicornis.
Why, everything is the same as in the living, but you don't have to run after them (spend energy) and it is better absorbed (softer), and it is easier to chew...
It was quite strange for me to read all this, to be honest. I turned to Kirill Vladimirovich many times - both when preparing my dissertation, and later when I brought material from the reserve where I worked. And then I started working with food companies to identify the detected pests - and this, I will tell you, is still a pleasure when they send a photo of an insect on the floor, taken from ...
Let me quote: "Among the large cockroach species that live everywhere, in warehouses, ships and mines, we should name the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), whose body length is up to 4.5 cm........In this species, females also have wings. "V. J. Stanek" Illustrated Encyclopedia of Insects "( 1977 Artia Publishing House, Prague). Perhaps you should understand that they were already in ...
I’ll answer my own question. This is a predatory bug https://imageup.ru/img15/4167793/klop-khishchnets.png
Hello. Looking for people who are interested in butterflies. I live in Yalta. Fishing in the surrounding areahttps://lepido.ru/ (Vladimir Savchuk, a great specialist on Crimean butterflies).

Dear friends! Alexander Generalov, well-known to many, became active again (just a sick and unhappy person who causes only a feeling of disgust). Threw on serious money friends. This mentally ill character owes a lot of money. Throws skillfully, enters into trust, makes the first few transactions, and when a person loses his vigilance, everything happens. Be vigilant!!!In the fall of 22, ...
- OK. But the distribution of flying families, which is food for the twilight swift , is nonsense in my opinion. I would like confirmation. Ornithologists did not answer me anything intelligible on their forum.Why is that nonsense? Among the representatives of the beetle families found in the stomachs of birds (grains, staphylinae, weevils, leaf beetles, spangles), species of very small size and ...
Last winter, I recorded a couple of videos for the participants of the butterfly chat on how to use this wonderful program, but I forgot to post the links here! I suggest you get acquainted, especially for those who type labels "in word" - you should definitely be struck by the second part, how you can print hundreds of labels at once with two clickshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sLKxRtExvE - ...
Something in addition.In the vicinity of Pyatigorsk, I encountered such a phenomenon.At the end of May, Arion flew and flew until mid-June (approximately the same time as in the Volgograd region). However, since mid-July, Arion has been flying again. Moreover, the "spring" and "summer" individuals were quite different from each other, and if desired, they could be considered different species. ...
Mycetophagus quadripustulatus (Linnaeus 1761)Russia, Moscow region, Serebryano-Prudsky district, okr. d. Lishnyagi, window trap, JulyI caught one with a missing rear pair of spots in the Istra district.The post was edited by Dmitrich - 16.11.2022 23: 15
Wow, you have a fantasy!And the book is not so much instructive, but rather entertaining and adventurous. But you guessed the burn )
Well, then the non-commercial group is a super-rare subspecies of a banal type that can't be sold to anyone With almost all insects, the situation is standard: some taxonomists regularly describe species, others reduce them, and these processes balance each other out. That is, the state of the taxon system is determined by the levels of scientific knowledge and skills (and, alas, ignorance of ...
Krasnodarsky kr. okr. p. Nebug the bank of the Nebug river under the stones 29.06.2020 This year I caught representatives of this genus-Bembidion, on Sakhalin. I collected 5 or 6 species, 4 of which are endemic.
Better a late response than no response at all. Maybe someone else will need it. So, for the purposes of the vehicle, no "magnifying lamp"is definitely suitable. Because a magnification of 5x or more is required, a single lens of this multiplicity will have to be brought a couple of centimeters closer to the object in order to get a clear image of it. Naturally, any analysis and straightening of ...
All bumblebees fly at about the same speed (with the same size), but different flies - very differently. The proposed Musca domestica is not a very high-speed flyer. I think that when flying across the sea with a bumblebee, they will have + / - parity. From the point of view of aerodynamics, I would advise the prince to turn into a ktyr - and he flies quickly and can stand up for himself if ...
Interesting question. Where there is learning new things in terrain orientation, there should be emotions. It's like a male praying mantis being flattened after sex.
Lixus (Ortholixus) angustus (Herbst, 1795)Russia, Moscow region, Serebryano-Prudsky district, Lishnyagi village, May 18, 2022Length - 7 mm.
Wow, what interesting conversations were held on the forum in the last decade! Not like the current one Still, even if it's late, I'll put in my five kopecks, thinking of a butterfly caterpillar as an embryo that prematurely left the egg, although convenient, is wrong from an evolutionary point of view. It is known that the first insects with incomplete transformation appeared, in which the ...
You just need to change the lens (at least for industriar-104) and make normal lighting, with a diffuser - then your eyes will cut through! And there really are no eyes, by the way, butterflies have only two of them, not three. Pictures:DSC08564a.jpg — (323.41к)
Hello. I have two Swallowtail caterpillars. I found it in the garden on Snyti. I fed her. Today one decided to pupate. She hung on to a branch. The second one hasn't changed its mind yet. How to arrange a proper wintering period for them? The refrigerator is not very large, you will not be able to put a large capacity. There is an unglazed balcony. I live in Moscow. In winter -30 can be. Will ...
The next stage of "progress" is pouring into epoxy blocks, it is poorly visible from both sides, but for centuries Out, Pan Hierophis has been doing this for a long time. Probably, he was disappointed in the dream of finding worthy heirs to his unique super collection during his lifetime and hopes that the "right entomologists" who can appreciate this monumental work will appear in the future at ...
Imago with a cover on the wall of a bus stop near a road in the city. And imago under the microscope. Pictures:IMG_20220525_195546.jpg — (300.84к) IMG_20220523_130330.jpg — (298.11к)
.. the venomous apparatus separated from the wasp functioned very efficiently - the muscles contracted, continuing to pump venom.And this may indicate in favor of the assumption that the ganglion was still present there. The glands themselves wouldn't work.
Of the three cats, only one of the youngest eats moths and butterflies.Well, we will have to assume that in the case I have described (and in many similar cases), every third cat is just huddled at the lanterns, and the rest are sitting at home.
Paysandisia archon. Sochi, 10.08.2022, 10 o'clock. Green area near the circus. They fly very beautifully.

Hello, everyone.Please help me how to cook the genitals of plavuntsov genus Ilybius?)You can do everything in detailed colors, I will be doing this for the first time and I want everything to go perfectly and just be able to determine the view)
I also think that I went down for pupation, a bucket with a neutral substrate like coconut, 15-20 centimeters will be enough for throwing up. Good afternoon!The situation is as follows. There was nothing neutral at hand, except dry land! The chrysalis was half buried in the ground in a hollow under the leaves. Container in the shade on the loggia-south side of the house.How long to wait now ...
Who can tell you what is the cause of caterpillar death?Similar problem. I recently found 3 wine hawk moth caterpillars and put them in one terrarium. The first of the caterpillars stopped eating and 2 days after landing in the terrarium began to spit out (I can't call it anything else) along with the fikali themselves (but did not die). Three days later, the third (most adult) caterpillar ...
Yeah, chasing fast-moving beetles with a microscope without a tripod. Record a video of a master class on this microphotomasochism, and then, so be it, I'll follow your advertising link PS With the advent of affordable digital mirrorless cameras, microscopic cameras such as those advertised by alenagubina have become almost unclaimed. Who needs 5 megapixels for 1000 bucks to order, if at any flea ...
