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)
Если верить сайту, представленному Bad Den'ом, то сразу видно по нижнему красному пятну, что у хоспитона оно мелкое и вогнуто наверх, у махаона же красное пятно круглое или более менее круглое, не вогнутое, а ...
So there are a lot of them, bombers... But no one tried to compare, say, the development of its "bombarding" glands, to understand what they come from. About the changes in the genes that caused this, and I don't hope that anyone was involved. I can't believe that this is something completely new for insects.Actually the question arose in connection with this ...
yeees.. You shouldn't have trusted your wife with the task-the child rolled around and sobbed - and I understand him! It is a pity that his family did not understand Well that I am no longer the age when you need to ask my mother for permission to drag something into the house. Well, or at least I explain that nothing terrible will happen, everything is sealed, everything is safe. For an ...

А почему называются по-разному?Значит так. Во-первых, это синонимы.Во-вторых, Papilio mesentina Cramer, 1780 - старший синоним. Но он преоккуперован Papilio mesentina Cramer, [1777], поэтому валидным названием является Belenois aurota (Fabricius, 1793).
About Reicholf-Rima - a mediocre popular book, more suitable for reading. Europe. Better buy Korshunov Errors there, if any, then in difficult groups (Oeneis, Erebia, etc.)
Under what conditions should the first-year Odorous Woodworm caterpillars hibernate, and do they need diapause?This post was edited by Apis - 09/26/2006 19: 23
The mantis is an ambush predator, and if the males are still somewhat active, the females are usually very sedentary, and after mating they will not catch up with the male, but how far the male will go depends on his activity...That's for sure, it won't work. Therefore, the problem is in a careful approach, deftly jumping on the back of the female and then jumping off. Read the article, even the ...
Definitely a magnifying glass! It is impossible to use a microscope to examine areas in the room, nature, etc., just put something under it and look at it.. with the same success, you can take this something (small in size) and drag it to the institute. So there is no sense in any case with a microscope.
Infected caterpillars (whether riders or tachins) are sluggish and grow poorly. Well, I don't agree about the poor appetite - I have a caterpillar of poplar hawk moth ate very much, and even was going to pupate, and the parasites came out only after it died and turned black.And how can you see the trace from the injection of the ovipositor if the caterpillar is, say, shaggy?
Easy, I think, on the genitals. If pupae, then at the tip of the abdomen.And the imago also has the tip of the abdomen - the female has a pointed one, the male has a blunt one.
Yes, Crimea is a nice place.Especially for catching insects.Oleander hawkmoth is the dream of any insect lover.
yes, vulgaris and germanica can be found almost everywhere, in any burrow, by the way, wasps are displacing bumblebees, they are increasingly multiplying and bumblebees often have nowhere to nest,but vespula rufa, who will find their nest here-lucky
I search as best I can , while it's still muffled.But the dust in the apartment becomes less and old runners-feed marbles alive and not so much.
Yes, this is very interesting, I will try to make some inquiries. Although it seems to me that they are not here, well, I have never heard of glaciers in Moscow.I didn't hear it, I saw it, and I collected it. In Izmailovsky Park during thaws up to 3-5 degrees. For some reason, only around the base of oak trunks. They probably hide in the cracks of the crust.
