Small dung beetles (Scarabaeidae, subfamily. Aphodiinae)

28.11.2006 10:40, Dmitry Vlasov: comment on Insect Collection

If the species is rare, I usually take a "series", i.e. several copies, and if a "banal" type of May beetle, then I take one copy from different geogr. points. Unless, of course, there's some kind of aberration. This is in my collection, and if for exchange, etc., then I take the maximum - it's enough to change and transfer to the ZIN.

23.11.2006 22:34, Pavel Morozov: comment on Smerinthus and all, who are in Moscow?

Yes, indeed, it is true, they say, if you want the job to be done well, do it yourself.

02.11.2006 23:39, Necrocephalus: comment on Art requires..A butterfly:))

Entomologists! I'm waiting for one of you to visit (I can't handle two). Don't forget to bring the butterfly's corpse with you. Have you thought about the consequences? Or after the photo shoot, will you request a couple of hundred hungry dead eaters?

31.10.2006 16:40, Santa Claus: comment on Where can I buy fruit flies?

I brought back from Moscow a couple of mutant drosophila species that can't fly. But so far their number is very small.These can be ordered directly from the site http://www.tropicarium.ru/ (they carry out delivery to Kiev).

30.10.2006 23:29, guest: Гость: comment on Polistes gallicus

You're wrong about the polysts, because you didn't take any measurements. Females and workers of the first 3-4 weeks in this species , as well as in Polistes nimphus, differ in size. An experienced observer in June will always be able to distinguish the female founder from the workers. Later in the season, the female is distinguished by worn wings and certain behavioral features.

27.10.2006 16:51, Охотник за осами: comment on Number of antennal segments in Hymenoptera

how does it not give? A larger number of segments gives greater mobility, because when mating, the male needs mobility to enter the female, imagine that the insect is a knight, who will be more mobile, who has cast armor,or the one with armor consists of plates?

26.10.2006 20:33, Necrocephalus: comment on Crimean ground beetle

There is some information about the breeding of the Crimean ground beetle here.As for the cost of a dry beetle - as far as I remember, on the site www.entomolog.com it is $ 14. Buy a beetle beetle... I think this is quite problematic, it will be easier to find it yourself in the habitat. Just keep in mind that if you are a Russian and you are going to transport beetles across the ...

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

vespins are Vespula (vulgaris, germanica, rufa, etc.) and Dolichovespula(saxonica, sylvestis, media) these are wasps (common, German, red-headed idr) and medium wasp (Saxon, forest, medium or dwarf hornet)large wasps (the wasp reaches a size of up to 2 cm)

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 ...

21.10.2006 18:43, Dmitrii Musolin: comment on Sirfid flies

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).

28.09.2006 20:09, Guest: comment on Saturnia and its keeping

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

20.09.2006 8:28, vespabellicosus: comment on Nectarina millifera, Honey wasps

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

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)

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
