Thanks!

Its wingspan is about 6cm (measured with a ruler). Bigger than those average I caught before. Most curious that I literally forgot its pupa that was left in the soil on a sill with no any care. Whatsoever, one morning I just saw it sitting over there!

02.05.2012 22:00, Lev Bely: comment on “The caterpillar is not so hideous as its venom”, South Florida would say

We obviously get more cautious when we spot a wasp, bee or spider. Better take care, anyone could prudently think. Though you may easily add to this “could-be-dangerous” list one more critter that is a bright, colorful caterpillar innocently creeping up your hibiscus tree. Be sure, its venom could bring you most severe pain. There are four caterpillar species in South Florida having ...

29.04.2012 20:08, Lev Bely: comment on Reading: few more decent butterfly books

Modern bookstores are ready to offer you a full range of whatsoever butterfly books from a thin brochure to a large heavy volume that might tell about anything but the butterflies. Yet a good home library should be rather made up of best and worth reading stuff what we're about to review right now. British Moths & Butterflies by Chris Manley (ISBN 9 780713 686364) is an illustrated ...

The California Academy of Sciences found in 1853 has a world's largest biological collection of over than 20 million specimens including 17 million insects.

species of the tribe Polysphinctini (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae)Alexander, this tribe has already been abolished.

25.04.2012 0:43, Peter Khramov: comment on Photos uploading

Due to the taxa databases underwent synchronization, photos uploading was temporarily disabled hence photos could be signed wrongly. The synchronization now is finished both as to databases of the Russian and English versions of the website, so users of the English version may upload photos in the usual way.

23.04.2012 16:58, Lev Bely: comment on Storms showered Nebraska (USA) with butterflies

Strong storms moved through the Midwest (USA) lately and brought unwelcome guests to Nebraska. Leon Highley, an entomologist from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said that butterflies and moths which presently flutter around Lincoln and Lancaster County were carried with a recent storm from Gulf Coast. One day later, Highley found a dead painted lady butterfly (Vanessa) on campus. “My ...

22.04.2012 22:22, headshotboy: comment on Who do you keep in the house?

Oh, shit... Total recall... It's nice to remember-I kept a lot of people...If the larvae of ant lions do not make craters, it is cold and the sand is a little wet, but the temperature is more important. I kept them repeatedly, from the very first ages to imago - without any problems. Cool animals, the main thing is that they don't require much space At +35-38, they even tried to dig frankly ...

20.04.2012 23:09, Lev Bely: comment on Damien Hirst's great and terrible butterflies

It was butterflies who brought fame to Damien Hirst, a fancy English artist and famous provocateur who in turn demonstrates his devotion putting them in an empty, unanimated windowless space at the Tate Modern gallery* in London, just to amuse idle gapers and tourists. Surrounded by this “fancy” society they are to emerge from their cocoons and die few days later right here, before the eyes ...
