Viktor, in this case you can't edit the view, because the photo page contains comments from other users. If you had edited it yourself, then you would have been identified as the author of the definition, which is incorrect. So I move the photo to the view, and put Eugene as the one who identified it.

Thank you, Tatiana Eduardovna! I didn't see this work. We have slightly different natural conditions and other model biotopes, but it is extremely interesting.
I am not a great, to put it mildly, expert on ticks and, moreover, not an expert on methods of dealing with them. But apparently, these are gamase mites. Clean your vacuum cleaner several times. If it doesn't help, I would advise you to contact specialists from Rospotrebnadzor. Well, read about gamaza mites on the Internet - there is a lot of information there. And look carefully at your home - ...
Registered users of Insecta.pro can change the color scheme (in what colors to display the interface of the website pages) in Account Settings. Recently, there was an error when users who selected the "Gray" scheme still saw the website in the default colors. Now the error has been fixed, all three color schemes work correctly.

As for me, discussions do not interfere with images, but only complement them and make the topic more interesting. But this, of course, is just my opinion.
Victor, thank you, I fixed it, I'll do it. I think it will be ready in a week, but first I will finish the email newsletters (not all of them have been sent out yet) and open the search option in the "Search for entomologists" section.

Alexander, if you have taken photos of the correspondence, please upload them to the gallery. This makes it easier to search, and people will be able to leave comments directly on the photo pages. About "search easier" — I mean that you can make a selection in the gallery of photos defined up to the supraspecific taxon, belonging, for example, to Hymenoptera.
Can you tell me who to contact for help with identifying staphylins from the old collection? These are from Primorye: 1 2 These are from the Amur region: 3 4 5
25.09 was on the city of Ayu-Dag. It is low, more than 500 meters. When I got up in the morning, I didn't see any butterflies. In the forest, under the trees, they are also absent. But I found large stones illuminated by the sun, on which the marigold vixen willingly sat down. The vixen butterfly is shy, so it is difficult to photograph it. She likes to sit on stony ground. And there was nothing ...
Peter, regarding the division in the gallery — it is there, and with much greater possibilities. In the right block you can enter the name of any supra-species taxon, and select photos by it. And concerning Euclidia munita — I'll answer on the species page.
