An overly curious female common dragonfly, Sympetrum vulgatum. Cheboksary neighborhood, Chuvashia. August 13, 2006. Pictures:111_1187_IMG.JPG — (130.12к)
Of course, it would be desirable to see the dragonfly completely , but I would venture to assume that this is a common dragonfly Sympetrum vulgatum.
It is similar to Cerura vinula, but it can also be C. erminea, so you need a photo of the caterpillar completely, from above and from the side to determine more precisely.
From the photo gallery Pavel Korzunovich Rider of Rhyssa (Rhyssa persuasoria). One of the biggest riders. 30-40 mm long. The coat is black with white spots, the legs are red. Females have a long ovipositor that exceeds the body length. Distribution. Eurasia, except for the tropical zone, North America.Habitats. Mainly coniferous forests, as it is a parasite on the larvae of barbels and horntails ...
From the photo gallery Pavel Korzunovich An adult insect of the (green) goldeneye is about 15 mm long, with a body and wing veins of delicate shades of green. Wings in a calm state are folded "hut". The protruding eyes have a bright metallic sheen. Other members of this group of insects are "brown" goldeneyes (family hemerobii). They are smaller than their green sisters, and adult insects have a ...
From the photo gallery Pavel Korzunovich Vanessa Atalanta is one of the most beautiful diurnal butterflies of central Europe, found also in North America and South Asia, and belongs together with the wren and polychrome, peacock's eye and sturgeon vanessa to the category of anguloptera, which are characterized by their shaggy forelegs, angularly carved outer edges of the wings, and caterpillars ...
Hmm, or maybe they have some form of community - interspecific? Were there females of both species in the "hybrid" anthills? I thought, if only females of the same species, then maybe negra steal flavus larvae... Although it is very possible that everything is simpler: just two anthills in one wormhole... However, on the other hand, the species probably compete in something...
Identified the female. It turned out to be fasciata. To be honest, I'm disappointed - I really wanted to have tricornis. Ooteka is still being incubated, we are waiting-p.
In our city, too, wingless female lasiuses have now appeared in large numbers-they are almost everywhere - on the highway, in gardens, in shops. If each one founded a nest, the entire surface of the city would be covered in piles.
How does anyone relate to the intraspecific taxonomy of the lemongrass Gonepteryx rhamni in Russia? Just different authors distinguish in different ways, from 1 to 4 subspecies we have and I would like to deal with all this... I am also interested in ramni material from the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and the south of Eastern Siberia, and other lemongrass plants from outside Russia.
I've been meaning to ask about that article for a long time.Is it true that as it is written there:1) " Building material hornets are made from the collected material-water,carbohydrate-rich juices and proteins, in the form of extracted insects."2)"Thus, this family is left with only one possibility of further construction-outside the birdhouse, where there is no sufficient protection from the ...
Female wood wasp Dolichovespula sylvestris on a wooden pole, while collecting pulp (chewed wood) to build a nest. June 11, 2006. Drozhzhanovsky district, Republic of Tatarstan. Pictures:Лесная__оса__Dolichovespula__sylvestris__11__Июня__2006.JPG — (76.29к)
Yes, in our Far East, too, religiosa hissed like that. At first I didn't understand where the sound came from, but then I became interested and found out everything. I think it's just a defensive reaction. And the males are actually somewhat "softer" or something. This year, students brought me the larva of a praying mantis, too. I've never heard of mantises being bred in Tatarstan, but it's a ...
Well, thanks to the only one who responded Small Internet research has led to the following results. There are really few types of beauties. By <url> no more than four. Apparently this is in Russia. Calopteryx virgo, as indicated in many sources, is a Palearctic species. It can't be found in the United States. In North America, there are five species of the genus Calopteryx, although I ...
Yes, that's nonsense! IMHO, P. machaon is not a species whose numbers (on a regional scale) can be threatened only by trapping, reasonable trapping, of course.This post was edited by Nilson - 17.07.2006 16: 40
You don't quite understand me - the man asked for a list of species that he can meet when he arrives there in August. It was strange for me to see there, because in our country (Kaluga is a wide strip, 180 km from the capital) Zerynthia polyxena occurs (if it occurs) only for a limited time in late April-early May and that's it . And then it turns out that somewhere it can be caught in August and ...

About entomolog.com: a reliable site. Reliable people.I support you! The people are nice, the material is defined reliably, inexpensive, but so far there is not much to eat.
The edeagus consists of 3 parts: the penis (medial part), the tegmen (often divided into a basal part (phallobase) and parameres attached to the basal part), and the inner sac (endophallus).See figure (BP-basal part, PE-penis, P-parameres, endophallus not shown)
Females can be distinguished from males by the antennae (in females it is thinner), by the abdomen.Below is a link to the Tony Pittaway website.http://tpittaway.tripod.com/sphinx/d_ele.htm
I would not say that the population in Estonia is so uneven. It is consistently abundant in suitable biotopes.
As Bad Den correctly pointed out, it is difficult to distinguish formic from common photos. Apparently, this species belongs to the group of red forest ant. This is most likely Formica rufa , F. polyctena, or F. aquilonia. F. pratensis is also possible. The nesting site is also of great importance for determining whether it was at the edge or in the thickest part, whether there was dense ...
Very nice butterfly. Maybe even our most beautiful butterfly!I note that they are very easy to deduce. Caterpillars willingly eat nettles, very unpretentious. I will also add that in the conditions of the middle zone, it prefers damp forest clearings and edges. It is found in swampy forests and peat bogs. Therefore, first of all, draining the swamps can lead to its disappearance.
Yes, indeed, not quite on the topic, but maybe this ant lion is common in another region I wanted to post this photo, and then the post turned up.This post was edited by Nilson - 06/29/2006 08: 55

Wait - in different ways, depending on the temperature, size of the butterfly, etc. It usually took me at least a day. You can speed up the process, but I don't recommend it. And the degree of softening look at the eye, if the wings can already be moved-ready.Thank you very much for the clarification.
Where there is a horn, there is a back part, where there is a spot, there is a front.That's the spot we took for an eye thank you!!! EVERYONE!!!
Unpaired silkworm-Ocneria dispar L. Distributed everywhere. Damages all hardwoods.In unpaired silkworm butterflies, males are much smaller (about 45 mm), while females are larger — about 80 mm in wingspan). The forewings of the males are grey-brown, with dark transverse stripes and fringes in dark spots; the hindwings are brown with a dark edge and light fringe; the antennae are pinnate. In ...
What about Neanderthal and mammoth sequencing? Do you need links? >As well as sequencing the DNA of dinosaur blood extracted from mosquitoes in Baltic amber :- ) You can also use a scraper to go through the prints on the stones. Paleoentomology is primarily about rocks and amber, not mammoths in permafrost.< Very funny phrase "wait 50 years" (this is written by many, and almost exclusively ...
