Cassidinae, a subfamily of beetles in the leaf beetle family. The body is flattened, 4-20 mm long (up to 10 mm in the fauna of the USSR). The edges of the pronotum and elytra protrude to the sides, forming a kind of shield covering the body and head from above (hence the name). The color is varied, sometimes with a metallic or pearlescent sheen. Schitonoski are herbivorous. About 1000 species, ...
I am familiar with this problem firsthand.3 years ago, I tried to publish my book, but after a year of running around publishing houses, conversations and various meetings, I was convinced that even profiled publishing houses like Aquarium and others like it are simply afraid to publish this...On the other hand, they also publish absolutely illiterate and very dubious "books", which the language ...

To KDG:How long have you been there? A friend of friends who have recently been there says the attitude towards foreigners there has changed significantly over the past 5 years. Even, he says, they only had to walk along the ridges, bypassing local villages for kilometers, practically not going down into the valleys.In 2005-2006, I went to the Musser Reserve alone. On Gege he lived with the ...
Another common but bright butterfly from the Ussuri region. In the pictures, a male (nverkhu) and a female.
Volnyanka Cifuna locuples. Males (smaller, red) and females. The butterfly can be said to be a mass one.This post was edited by Morozzz - 12/23/2006 10: 03

It is almost impossible to feed it until warm times!I suspect that we are talking about the cow Anatis ocellata-it feeds on hermes on conifers. So just put it in the refrigerator between the pieces of cotton wool. And after 4 days on the balcony in a dark place. And until spring...
Thank you so much for your efforts. However, I know all these authors well. The article is based on materials that were prepared several years ago. And now none of them can help me in this matter.

Colleagues!If possible, tell me the contacts of laboratories where they mess with fruit flies, non-flying forms are needed.
And who told you it was Opion luteus? The photo clearly shows sclerotized spots in the radial cell of the forewings (under the pterostigma), which clearly indicates that this rider belongs to the genus Enicospilus. Now there is no determinant at hand, and I am not sure that in the European part of the country there is something besides E. ramidulus (L.), although for Europe at least a couple of ...

And based on what you decided that this is D. imperator? I would not be so categorical. IMHO at the emperor yaytsekladya podlinee will be. Besides, is he sitting on a pine tree?
It would also be a good idea to conduct a faunal analysis of beetles in several areas: set traps in a typically residential area with a small number of green spaces, near industrial enterprises or at the intersection of busy streets and somewhere in the vicinity, in parks, etc.the same comparison is also interesting for the distribution of damage types (overeating, mining, skeletonization, etc.)
Ampelophaga rubiginosa. The usual hawk moth of the Far East. It is distributed in the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories, China, Korea, etc. Caterpillar on the Amur grape (Vitis amurensis)
"It's better to pass it yourself" is not the best option. I thought so until I saw the luxury boxes. I wanted to run away properly and throw my own from the balcony as far as possible (just pull out the beetles first)This post was edited by beetleboy - 12/04/2006 02: 09
A scooper from the genus Sypnoides (possibly S. hercules). Andreevka, Primorsky Krai, Khasansky district, 28.07.06. On light. In Russia, this genus is represented by 3 species that live in the south of the Far East.
If the species is rare, I usually take a "series", i.e. several copies, and if a "banal" type of May beetle, then I take one copy from different geogr. points. Unless, of course, there's some kind of aberration. This is in my collection, and if for exchange, etc., then I take the maximum - it's enough to change and transfer to the ZIN.
Entomologists! I'm waiting for one of you to visit (I can't handle two). Don't forget to bring the butterfly's corpse with you. Have you thought about the consequences? Or after the photo shoot, will you request a couple of hundred hungry dead eaters?
I brought back from Moscow a couple of mutant drosophila species that can't fly. But so far their number is very small.These can be ordered directly from the site http://www.tropicarium.ru/ (they carry out delivery to Kiev).

You're wrong about the polysts, because you didn't take any measurements. Females and workers of the first 3-4 weeks in this species , as well as in Polistes nimphus, differ in size. An experienced observer in June will always be able to distinguish the female founder from the workers. Later in the season, the female is distinguished by worn wings and certain behavioral features.

how does it not give? A larger number of segments gives greater mobility, because when mating, the male needs mobility to enter the female, imagine that the insect is a knight, who will be more mobile, who has cast armor,or the one with armor consists of plates?
There is some information about the breeding of the Crimean ground beetle here.As for the cost of a dry beetle - as far as I remember, on the site www.entomolog.com it is $ 14. Buy a beetle beetle... I think this is quite problematic, it will be easier to find it yourself in the habitat. Just keep in mind that if you are a Russian and you are going to transport beetles across the ...
Dolichovespula OS always has only one worker cell. Usually so: sometimes the second tier with small cells and on the sides-large uterine. Usually small ones belong to males and occasionally to worker wasps. Most likely, in your case it was.
Water is certainly metabolic. For example, when keratin is digested, a water molecule is released along with the formation of a cysteine molecule. This is how skin-eating beetles get water. Moles have the same thing, I suppose.
vespins are Vespula (vulgaris, germanica, rufa, etc.) and Dolichovespula(saxonica, sylvestis, media) these are wasps (common, German, red-headed idr) and medium wasp (Saxon, forest, medium or dwarf hornet)large wasps (the wasp reaches a size of up to 2 cm)
