25.10.2006 11:11, vespabellicosus: comment on Saxon wasp Dolichovespula saxonica

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.

24.10.2006 20:52, Tigran Oganesov: comment on Where do moth larvae get their water from?

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.

24.10.2006 18:26, guest: Олег: comment on Need water beetles

We need swimmers from the North Caucasus. Preferably from mountain reservoirs.

23.10.2006 17:08, Охотник за осами: comment on Photos of unusual wasps (hornets,vespulas) and large nests

Thanks! Completed

22.10.2006 21:41, Bad Den: comment on Pupae of polyxena

They won't freeze when you send them?

22.10.2006 15:36, RippeR: comment on Papilio machaon and Papilio hospiton. What is the difference?

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 ...

Google gives out 279,000 sites for the word "syrphidae" and 374 for "sirfids"

17.10.2006 13:44, lepidopterolog: comment on Materials at the Moscow poultry market

If I'm not mistaken, there is a free bus from m. Vykhino.

12.10.2006 22:36, Chromocenter: comment on How does the bombardier beetle work?

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 ...

12.10.2006 14:12, RippeR: comment on Entomology and children

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 ...

05.10.2006 8:34, Aleksandr Ermakov: comment on X-treme collecting insects

Once, in the mountains of the Northern Urals, I saw something that looked like a battered podaliri. It sat and sucked nectar from a clove. Then waved and .... In general, I ran on the stones Kurumnikov and yernikov with breaks of three hours (he scoffed at the bitch: back and forth flew at an altitude of 5-20 meters until finally disappeared. I calmed myself down for a long time afterwards that ...

04.10.2006 1:12, Chromocenter: comment on Climate change and shifting of the insect habitats

Wait! But the shift to the south is not due to warming...

02.10.2006 5:29, Shofffer: comment on Anaphaeis mesentina

 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).

Our city doesn't have

27.09.2006 21:57, lepidopterolog: comment on Recommend literature on butterflies

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.)

26.09.2006 19:22, Apis: comment on Beetle larva

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

26.09.2006 0:14, Tigran Oganesov: comment on Mantises

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 ...

22.09.2006 5:44, plantago: comment on Aphid

I'd like to see the works myself.... http://www.paleo.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20495#20495

Yes , I agree, Richards is a real expert! And how many species described....

19.09.2006 14:29, Охотник за осами: comment on Budding of colonies

Well yes rather it is a drone polyploid obtained by disrupting cell division in chromosomes

19.09.2006 7:03, Egil: comment on Families of Bombycidae

Thank you

17.09.2006 21:04, RippeR: comment on Rent a microscope

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.

17.09.2006 21:00, Apis: comment on Caught a caterpillar

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?

14.09.2006 15:00, Mantispid: comment on Insect Descriptions

If there was anything in the library, I wouldn't ask questions or go to no at all !

13.09.2006 21:14, Асаф: comment on African assassin bugs (Reduviidae)

When there are kids, I'm waiting for my dad to visit me!

13.09.2006 8:51, AVA: comment on Sex determination in the Red Underwing Moth

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.

11.09.2006 15:51, Асаф: comment on Question by geographic range / area

Yes, Crimea is a nice place.Especially for catching insects.Oleander hawkmoth is the dream of any insect lover.

11.09.2006 13:31, Охотник за осами: comment on Vespula vulgaris nest

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

10.09.2006 20:31, vlad-veras: comment on Catching Pterinochilus lugardi at home. Help!

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.

08.09.2006 14:15, AVA: comment on Winter is coming

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.

08.09.2006 10:49, AVA: comment on Translation of terms for games

"2. Virgin Queen" - winged females (still unfertilized). By analogy, winged males should also be present in the game Why, 'that would be fun - "Virgin Kings"!

08.09.2006 7:49, Juglans: comment on Redwing from Prymorie

07.09.2006 15:59, Necrocephalus: comment on Methods of Coleoptera breeding

2 Elizar: Thank you for the information. So, only adults spend the winter in karabus? Apparently, we will have to wait and start breeding at the beginning of the next season.. And so I wanted now

05.09.2006 20:03, Pavel Morozov: comment on Catocala sp.

This is Catocala actaea

03.09.2006 17:57, Juglans: comment on 28-point ladybug

This is a controversial issue: not all experts share this opinion.

01.09.2006 19:19, RippeR: comment on Grasshoppers

I mean, concentration is more difficult, although they don't care - they don't have consciousness, which means they don't bother so stupidly Another example is that during hypnosis, a person's brain activity decreases very much, but still he does not sleep (1 site still remains active). Perhaps insects have something similar. Or perhaps they also have a dream, only it is expressed in a different ...

01.09.2006 8:09, Necrocephalus: comment on Material processing, bringing to an optimal appearance

Thank you for your tips! Today, probably, I'll buy alcohol and try to arrange an acetone-alcohol cleaning for the beetle. Acetone BDA get nowhere (it is included in the list of precursors, so in the chemical store to buy it you need to have a special permit; the same can be said about chloroform), but there is a fairly clean technical, which evaporates does not leave the slightest traces on the ...

31.08.2006 21:28, taler: comment on Feeding butterflies and other insects at home

It is the hawk moth that I do not know...Other butterflies readily feed on a weak honey solution.The portion is unlimited-it will fall off itself when it is satied

25.08.2006 13:25, Насекомовед: comment on The genus Poecilimon in Europe

There is also a list of all the right-winged birds in Europe with their distribution by region.:Heller K.G., Korsunovskaya O.S., Ragge D.R., Vedenina V., Willemse F., Zhantiev R.D., Frantsevich L., 1998. Check-List of Europea Orthoptera // Articulata. Beiheft 7. S. 1-61.It contains 72 species of the genus Poecilimon and 46 Isophya.This post was edited by Insect Expert - 08/25/2006 13: 48

25.08.2006 12:34, Насекомовед: comment on Tetrigid from South Africa

In appearance, most likely a larva of one of the last instars, but 100% female. I dare to assume that the subfamily Tetriginae (species of this subfamily also live in Russia).

24.08.2006 16:32, Охотник за осами: comment on Questions about bumblebees

comrades, how can I attract bumblebees for nesting in the spring, please chew them, and in the forest in what places to look,in burrows-no, there are only wasps

22.08.2006 15:59, okoem: comment on Zygaenidae

It is not so easy to identify mottled flowers from photos. First you need to know where the photo came from?In general, it looks like Z. viciae, but not necessarily it.

22.08.2006 15:57, okoem: comment on A Couple of Lycaenids

If from central Russia, then Polyommatus amandus.

22.08.2006 15:55, okoem: comment on Lycaenid

Let the author first answer where and when the photo was taken - there will be fewer options for divination. Maybe it's even in some kind of America ;- )And it's definitely not meleager. We have a lot of them - they are not like that.
