Добрый день, коллеги энтомологи!!! Есть мухи, которые я должна определить. Опыта как такового у меня нет. В определителях тоже пока не ориентируюсь. Нужна помощь - с какой литературы лучше всего начать новичку по ...
Vespa orientalis (шершень восточный) 7-8 лет назад появился и у нас в г. Будённовске на востоке Ставропольского края. До этого мне никогда не доводилось встречать его севернее г. Махачкалы (Дагестан). Появившись в Будённовске, ...
Comments that were related to determining the view in the photo were moved to the photos page. As a reminder, the definition of a species / taxon in a photo is a property of the photo, not the type. Even if the photo is used on the view page as an illustration.
A new field has been added to the Search for Entomologists questionnaire — a note to the region. Now, when registering in search, you can specify your city (if it is not in the main list), write an additional city, or add any note about your habitat. But the main purpose is still to indicate a city or locality that is not in the list. For example, in the main list, you select "Other locality of ...

However, there are captions of English, not Latin names under the illustrations (Latin is only in ...
I'm posting an ad late. I believe that in this section it will be correct to publish information about deceased entomologists even after some time after their death (since they were not published in time). From colleagues of A. N. Kupyanskaya: On August 2, 2024, Alina Nilovna Kupyanskaya, Candidate of Biological Sciences, the oldest employee of the entomology laboratory, died at the age of 91. ...
Nikolai, there was no "when", but "if":--) In general, it's time to strongly straighten the classification of butterflies on the site, but I would like to gain sources... People point to the Zinovsky catalog. But not everything is smooth there, it is necessary, at least, to combine... As for the type — the type was added to the catalog (without a subgenus yet), and the photo was moved to it. In ...
Previously, you could only filter markers on the maps by species. Now you can do this for any supraspecific taxon (the map will show the markers of all its daughter taxa). For example, this is the map with markers for all beetles. And this is the map for butterflies and moths. A link to a map with markers for any supraspecific taxon is on its page under the illustration. So, search the page of ...

At the initiative of Nizhny Novgorod (and not only) comrades, signatures are collected under an open letter on the rules for handling grass cover and leaf litter in Russia. Before signing (or not signing) — I recommend that you read the full version of the letter, the list of its authors and signatories at the same link, as well as a curious methodological guide on the topic.
