I don't know about cicadas, but the Internet writes the absolute truth about cicadas. They suck blood like pastel bedbugs, and the consequences are similarly unpleasant. The same goes for many bedbugs, both carnivorous and herbivorous. They are all hungry for human blood. The oral apparatus of all these people is fundamentally the same - piercing-sucking, hemipteroid, the most convenient for ...
From 20th to 21st of August we carried out some works to increase the speed of the website pages loading (earlier some pages would load for about 10 seconds, not mentioning bots raids when things were getting even worse). Now overall page loading is notably faster, and some catalog pages load faster even in several times. Following steps for speed increasing are planned for the end of this week ...
They eat birch, as I expected, but they are capricious, it is important for them that the leaves stand vertically) A few pupated in July)
Corrected data. Nymphalidae / Imago / Vera Volkotrub → Argynnis anadyomene / Female / Maxim Maximov.
Corrected data. Not identified / Imago → Polyommatus icarus / Confidently identified / Female / Maxim Maximov.
I move photos without species identification to upperspecies taxa, so that it would be easier for specialists to search for them and identificate the species.
Initial identification by Juergen Peters: "male Phasia hemiptera of the more femalish obscura-Form."
No, plastic is not that, there is little adhesion (the wings slip off constantly) and it does not "breathe", it dries longer. Or maybe my hands are in the wrong place.Well, the edges of the wing are quite visible on a light background through tracing paper, and even through tissue paper. And what's the point of seeing more? Admire - after removing from the straightener.If you only knew what this ...
I don't know anything about a digital microscope, but a DSLR with a whale lens doesn't work at all. For small things at an inexpensive price, the Soviet biological microscope (MBR, MBI, Biolam), slightly modified in terms of lighting, is suitable, always with a 3.7 X LOMO lens in combination with a mirrorless camera. A DSLR will also work, just the mirror will hang around. You can keep within 10 ...

It seems that I have determined that the larva is either a leaf beetle or a ladybug (as for me, these two families should be combined, they are very close in everything up to the smell, and the morphology of larvae differs more within them than between them).
Goliaths are covered with wax, so you can't put them in alcohol, gasoline, etc., and you probably shouldn't put them in water. So a cotton pad and desiccator are our everything. Considering the expected duration of the process for such a hefty and smelly carcass, the addition of a fugngicide (for example, phenol) is mandatory. Return - unlikely.
Well, I looked at this crap-I noticed a butterfly in the amount of one piece, it seems to be made of pure graphonium, and a danaid! Where are the eyes!?
Да, но потомство такого самца имеет меньше шансов выжить - мамаша-то осталась голодной. Так что как раз для процветания вида нужны самцы, отдавшие себя на сьедение после оплодотворенияТипичный измышлизм ...
H. z., what was there "for a clay shell", because now "there is no such page", but there is a suspicion that they mean built that they were cradles built by larvae, but not from their clay, but from a completely different substance - their own excrement. Pupation and further metamorphosis occur in them.Andreas, your amazing revelations remind me more and more of the hilarious video about the ...
What factors determine the presence of an insect on a particular plant, in addition to obvious reasons such as nutrition ?For example, mother-of-pearl glitter on nettles. Neither the adult butterfly nor its caterpillar feed on nettles. How then to explain why it is sitting on this plant ?
