There was a need to start a culture of this firefly for fodder purposes. I used to breed them myself in stickworm scraps and excrement, so I thought it would be easy. I put some dried oak and raspberry leaves in a bucket, started up some butterflies , and they died in a few days. I repeated it several times , and the result was the same. No caterpillars were found in the substrate for two months. ...
Good question! The answer depends on the type and age. Besides, I didn't take any measurements, I can only estimate by eye. But in general, the answer is simple: it is better to overdo it than vice versa. It should be noted that only very few species can feed on dried grass for a long time, and even for them the losses will be many times higher than when feeding with fresh leaves. You didn't say ...
Wow, you guessed it! With your consistent approach, everyone will die. That's how you managed to create a puddle at all?. Had the stern willow barrel turned over?The message was edited INO-11.07.2020 01: 48
Well yeah And why do they need water if they are flies - and I also clarified what was meant - whether these are water larvae, like dragonfly larvae for example, or just a dung heap is enough. But you chose to raise the price in the subsequent discussion.I read about the zoofauna of these lakes that I found. So, if you believe the article, then it is in a similar nearby salt lake that there are: ...
Well, I told you as much as I could, based on the experience of the peacock's eyeThis post was edited by Insect88888888 - 07/08/2020 23: 49
If the subject of our interest is the scientific knowledge of the author of the publication, then this is true. For example, images of homunculi inside sperm cells can tell a lot about the views of preformist animalculists. But if the focus of our interest lies in the field of animal morphology as an objective reality that does not depend on someone's knowledge, ignorance, visual acuity,artistic ...
A difficult case. If it was Europe, it would be a representative of the genus Crassa, most likely unitella, but this genus does not exist in the Asian part of Russia. There is another similar species in Japan, Pedioxestis isomorpha Meyrick, 1932, but it is not found in Russia. Three possible answers: 1. Invasion of the European species on the Russian Far East. 2. A new species for Russia ...
Figured it out)) These flies are from the Milichiidae family, keep close to predatory arthropods, mainly spiders, catbirds and predatory beetles, and feed on hemolymph flowing from the wounds of the victim
Pyrgus andromedae in the Vologda region? This is what the caterpillars develop on there? But P. centaureae may well be. So it is correct that the dubious is filtered out!Now that you've noticed it, the indication looks questionable. Apparently, the magic of names had an impact. After all, when you read, for example, the list of lepidoptera of the Basegi Nature Reserve of the Perm Region compiled ...
Miner specialist Natalia Kirichenko writes:Good afternoon!Indeed, mines can be similar to those of the oak broadmint moth.However, it is a sawfly. I registered a mass of similar mines in Omsk several years ago. I subjected the samples to DNA barcoding and identified them as Profenusa pygmaea.Larvae (false larvae) in the photo on the forum-before pupation-the scutes on the thoracic segments are ...

Colleagues ask for help with the collection of hawthorn Aporia crataegi L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae):We are very interested in samples of hawthorn imago from any geographical location, for any years. The samples are necessary to study various aspects of wing morphological variability within the wide range of this remarkable pest species!There is a minimum sample size of 25 individuals of the same ...
So it's just a working major. Batka won't help.Eggs could have been left behind from past times and not be noticed by you. They can also be laid by workers, but only forage ones. None of them are hatched and fed. Besides, since we're talking about reapers, are you sure they're eggs and not crushed seeds with mushrooms?The message was edited INO-02.06.2020 01: 46
Dragonfly larvae hunt mobile prey. Dead bokoplavov, respectively, it is not food. The "unknown thing" that started to "stick out" is the so-called mask. Simply put, its jaws, which it grabs prey. Usually they are tightly pressed and not visible. You can watch a video on the Internet about how she hunts. The mask began to stick out, most likely because after death, the muscles relaxed and nothing ...
Move old photos to Pristiphora gerula (Konow, 1904) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/38338681
While browsing through my xylenas, I suddenly noticed that one of the supposed Xylena vetusta is noticeably different from the others. It quickly became clear that this species was most recently (in 2011) described from the Altai by A. Volynkin — Xylena czernalai. In my photo, this instance is the top one. The types are quite similar, but there are enough differences. In Khakassia and in the ...
As it turned out, this is Pristiphora gerula (Konow, 1904), so this photo and the rest should be moved. Definition by Spencer K. Monckton & Alexander Boldyrev https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/38338681

Good afternoon, friends.I will be grateful for collecting Palearctic bee colonies. Maybe someone will be too lazy to collect some. Bumblebees and xylocop are not needed.Thank you in advance
Buy a 7-8-fold folding pocket magnifier made in the USSR. You can make suggestions here or by email: leucomigus@yahoo.com.
Purely for the storage of those small things, you need to keep them in alcohol, the canister will last for life. After all, they are not only alcoholized, they still need to be identified. I didn't think about Malez's trap, etc. If there are a lot of them, then probably a lot of alcohol goes away. But I don't envy anyone who will then sort out the hundreds of grams of "air plankton" they have ...
Colleagues, help us identify the bear. Lake Baikal, Olkhon Island. It is similar to Sibirarctia buraetica. But my inability to distinguish it from Palearctia gratiosa haunts me... Pictures:IMG_4111.jpg — (846.57к)
