Now you can edit the identification field (linking a photo to an insect taxon) for an unlimited amount of time — if there are no comments from other users on the photo. But if there are such comments, the possibility of changing the taxon in the photo by the author is immediately blocked, and the photo is to be moved to the new taxon by the moderator or admin. Such rule will help to indicate ...
Tenthredopsis sp.
Tenthredo sp.
This is not Pachyprotasis antennata you can see the larva that is already Rhogogaster punctulata see here http://insectamo.ru/sawfly/25-pililshchiki/3707-rhogogaster-punctulata
Andrey, thank you for pointing out the error. I made a note to reduce the genus Hartigia to Phylloecus for the future, but for now I moved the photo to Phylloecus linearis. Please note that comments related to the taxon rather than the photo must be left on the taxon's page.
Synonym of Phylloecus. It is necessary to carry out work on the site to record these two taxa. As a source, you can also use the Review of the genus Phylloecus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) in Belgium and Western Europe (2020) .
This is a fascinating specimen! It appears to be a male adult of the beetle species Carabus (Lamprostus) calleyi nigrinus, measuring a respectable 24mm in length. The information suggests it was collected in Azerbaijan, specifically the Talysh Mountains in the Palikesh area near Zuvand on June 8th, 2001. The collector is credited as V.G. Dolin. It would be interesting to learn more about this ...
We will assume that this is Carabus gaschkewitschi, if no one suggested a better option in the topic of defining beetles.Western (continental) slopes of Sikhote-Alinya near the village. Melnichnoye. About 1200-1500 m. above the sea level On the lower border of a cedar stand.Eastern (seaside) slopes of Sikhote-Alinya near the village. Terney.

Monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus
I just wanted to comment that the photo looks like retro-style. It turned out that it is actually a retro reversal film slide 6x6 cm!
And yes! An entomological exhibition is taking place in Kotelnich too. And where is Kotelnich situated? Kotelnich is situated on the confluence of the two great Russian rivers — The Volga and The Oka. If fact, it's not. This one was about Nighny Novgorod. And when it comes to Kotelnich, the town lies on the middle reaches of the Vyatka river, right next to The Kotelnich Location of Pareiasaurs ...
One of the foreign non-specialized websites has interesting material on the topic of what a professional entomologist does, is he afraid of insects or not, is he obliged to has at least a bachelor's degree or is there is enough forestry technical school, what places you can go to work as an entomologist, well, and the most interesting thing is the salaries and comparison with seemingly similar ...
Oh, not the fact that they are extinct-there is a lot of indirect evidence of their existence, but they can't make a good photo in any way. Although, if there is a war with China, they will probably die. So you need to take a picture now!
Again, it doesn't attach it... We wait.
February is a month of no travel. But for the brave ones, there is the right direction — Kotlas. An exhibition dedicated to insects has recently opened in Kotlas museum. There is a selection of specimens of insects of the region, macrophotos of insects in a decent more then size, and most importantly, a model of an entomological net is demonstrated, it's ideal for catching insects. The net has ...
The "Russia 24 Nizhny Novgorod" TV channel in the "Breakfast with" TV show introduced an interview with Alexander Zatakovoy, a man who is seriously infected by entomology, but not only that! Of the videos that can be shared on our website, only Rutube player is available, so I'm posting it through the Rutube (and so you have to use your browser's translating options).
Moved to identified tentatively.
I read it at the beginning of the topic:He was particularly moved by his words:"it is impossible to teach people to appreciate and love nature only from books or photographs, and therefore people should be able to see everything with their own eyes." Yes, exactly. You can love nature only by communicating with it and seeing its best sights and objects. And I like the idea of ecotourism in nature ...
Since the beginning of 2018, they have been detained and jailed totally for the export of any biological material. There's a fast-food chain called Bembos in Lima, so a Finn bought a hamburger there and wanted to take it to his girlfriend for a taste test. But a fly stuck to the hamburger (this is practically the norm for Bembos products). Customs officials considered it an attempt to export ...

Bad catalog - no sensor model is specified for any camera.
Now don't even try to buy a ticket to Australia. Because it has become impossible for an ordinary person.
I'm not an expert on flies, but those who are interested in them suggested to me that this is Mesembrina meridianaThis post was edited by vidjl-08.02.2024 20: 30
We updated the design of comments for photos, species, superspecies taxa, as well as topics in the Community/forum. Now the comments are more indented, they separated by a light line and alternate by background color. It will be easier to read them like this.
To uncertain identification for now...
The species page now displays more complete information about the sources of information (references) - for synonyms, subspecies and descriptions (previously not all of it was shown). Personal communications are now indicated each with its own code in square brackets (similar to literary sources). For example, [3] is a regular source, and [PC1] is a personal communication. At the bottom of the ...
Today I was informed that one of the old entomologists who worked on weevils, whom I have known for many years, Vadim Grachev, an employee of the Paleontological Museum, died suddenly. Can anyone from Moscow confirm or deny this catastrophically sad information?Vadim was 43 years old!
Now, please explain for those unfamiliar with the Moscow region. What's wrong? Less than 5 thousand species of animals, or there are no sevchukas? There are 2.5 - 3 times more animals than stated. Only Zhukov 4000+
So still, "what is this news" or "come on, admit it"? And as in the famous joke (light version): What's wrong with you, Sour Tomato?
Zoran, if you have other photos of this specimen or any other information in connection with which you can confidently define the species, please let us know.

Ok, let's leave it in S. roborella.
In the "angle/type" parameter, the value "genital preparation" is now available for photos. Accordingly, it is now possible to upload (and select in the gallery) relevant photos of insects.

Typo is corrected.
Based on this, you can easily figure out who is who.
A comment for the sake of order - the species were added by Evgeniy himself.
Replaced.
The species is already on the website as Amauronematus humeralis. As soon as we understand where we are taking Euura squalida, I will transfer photographs if necessary and I'll assign illustrations.
Andrey, I've added Stauronematus platycerus species.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a butterfly...
Andrey, I've added F. ewaldi according to David R. Smith, Ewald Altenhofer. The Second Record of a Sawfly Leafminer on Rosa, A New Species of Fenusa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). April 2011. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 113(1): 57-60. And Fenusa nana (Klug, 1816) - apparently, after all, a synonym for Fenusella nana?
Euura saliciscinereae was added. Is E. squalida a synonym of Euura humeralis (Audinet-Serville, 1823)?
If you'd like to catch more insects and make less effort at the same time, and you do not have specialization for specific groups of Insecta, just put a white screen at night (even a white sheet is suitable like one) and turn on different lights on it (for example, one mercury lamp plus one UV lamp). You can put it almost anywhere, the main thing is that there is a socket for powering light bulbs ...
Who knows in which primary source to find: collections of E. V. Nikolaeva, 2004.?
