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

Now this butterfly is called Thersamonolycaena dispar (Hw.). Here is such a golubyanka. The photo was taken in the ROC. Vladivostok in July. Pictures:dispar.jpg — (73.49 k)

great story, is there more?

Thank you very much!

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.

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 22:51, sahaj: comment on Direction of entrance to the nest structure

What was required to prove!Thank you, hunter.

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

23.08.2006 14:05, vespabellicosus: comment on Sympetrum pedemontanum

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.

22.08.2006 15:50, Dmitry Vlasov: comment on Female hornbill

Well, then, we'll count L. M. ...

20.08.2006 22:19, guest: Dorcadion: comment on Pericallia matronula what does a caterpillar look like?

  From the photo gallery Pavel KorzunovichFemale Syrphus s. str. sp. You can't tell more accurately from the photo.

18.08.2006 12:59, Dmitry Vlasov: comment on Oxythyrea funesta (Stinky bronze)

Really...When taken in hand, it releases a whitish liquid with an unpleasant smell (it does not look like common odors known to me) and is quite persistent. your hands smell good for hours.

18.08.2006 9:45, Arax: comment on Fringed floating beetle

Kept the whole winter! I liked. It is unpretentious and can be fed with raw meat or small fish (for example, guppies). Lived in a 30-liter aquarium. Sometimes he gets out on the island, either to warm up or to fly. There is one drawback - I often had to change the water, because he has an interesting gland between his head and chest, and he worked out a mixture of ammonia with something he wasn't ...

17.08.2006 21:23, Pavel Morozov: comment on Moths and Nymphalid caterpillars in Moscow

The fact is that there are not so many butterflies whose caterpillars live in clusters.Well, there are peacock's eye and mottledwing on the nettle. A whole colony of silvery hole caterpillars can suddenly be caught on a willow tree.Hawks don't usually congregate in one place. You can, of course, find a few caterpillars on the food plant. In general, hawk moth caterpillars, like many others (for ...

15.08.2006 15:00, Dmitry Vlasov: comment on Rhagium mordax

I haven't tried it yet, but I keep getting ridged larvae... These are delicious!

15.08.2006 5:13, Juglans: comment on Synanthropic cave grasshopper (Rhaphidophoridae)

In southern Primorye, in old buildings in the countryside, there are such cave grasshoppers. Students, alas, always define them incorrectly, even to the point of a family, since even Plavilshchikov does not have such a family. This is probably Diestrammena unicolor. Pictures:orth.jpg — (147.54к)

15.08.2006 4:27, Ekos: comment on Argynnis paphia L.

This is clearly Argynnis paphia.

13.08.2006 13:41, vespabellicosus: comment on Common dragonfly (Sympetrum vulgatum)

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.

13.08.2006 13:17, Guest: comment on Garpia Caterpillar

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.

13.08.2006 12:34, Bad Den: comment on Perelivnitsa (Apatura ilia Schif.)

Apatura ilia Schif.

13.08.2006 5:31, Pakor: comment on Goldeneye (Chrysopidae)

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 ...

13.08.2006 5:21, Pakor: comment on Admiral (Vanessa Atalanta)

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 ...

Solitary bee, possibly Dasypoda or Antophora.

10.08.2006 1:02, Chromocenter: comment on Dramatic increase in the number of Lasius niger ants

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...

09.08.2006 1:33, Dracus: comment on Ootheca

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.

06.08.2006 22:39, sealor: comment on What kind of animal is this (caterpillar)

This is a hawk moth caterpillar, most likely Deilephila elpenor.
