Seems (looking at the author's note) that the author of this shot already identified it himself, yet it's not quite clear. So far it's Alexandr Zhakov then.
The compilers of the Catalog, and earlier Kuznetsova and Stekolnikov, and all modern specialists in the taxonomy of lepidoptera, consider the division into micro-macro not relevant. Because such a division is purely artificial. In any case, from the "traditional" macro (as, for example, was the case with Koch), it is necessary to remove the saccules (this is a tineoid family related to real ...
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is to teach state residents how to identify butterflies. Everyone is welcome to join a special butterfly identification training that starts off this June. Those who will take part are also supposed to contribute to the statewide butterfly survey. There are actually at least 120 butterfly species in Maine, but, as spokesman Doug Rafferty ...
Lepidoptera.pro user Stan Korb just added on the website Eremohadena oxybela shots which actually appear to be the first photos of the species online and there are no but a few collected specimens known as well. See Eremohadena oxybela upperside and the underside.
Look back: your own home may host not only inobnoxious moths but also an insect drone watching you. Here it goes, latest Israel's indoor surveillance project — a small “butterfly” that weighs just 20 grams, a unique and perfect spy which has no peer in doing its job well and, the core thing, imperceptible. The spy can take color photos, take off vertically and hover in the air as ...
About mantises say that even Ischnomantis gigas is the largest.But they are all so skinny, rather not the largest, but the longest.As for grasshoppers, Saga ephippigera have impressive dimensions, but they are not very long, up to 10 cm
Up to now you all could experience such annoying thing as comment doubles in case if you happened to refresh the same page right after you'd commented anything. So you got twin comments. Now it's fixed and you are free to reload pages after you just left a comment on community subjs, species or photos, and your own subject as well. If your browser asks to confirm the duplicate submission, please ...
Some former URLs containing additional hyphens e.g. http://lepidoptera.pro/species/polygonia-c-album for Polygonia c-album species, could be redirected wrongly (from the Polygonia c-album URL mentioned you should've been moved to http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/8617). Now cured.

More than 70 scientists from 9 institutions including The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, sequenced the genome of the Postman butterfly (Heliconius melpomene), a favorite one among collectors and researchers since the very Victorian times. The study results were published in the reputed “Nature” journal. Panama's Heliconius melpomene genome explains the incredible variety of ...
Cuba is strongly anthropogenic transformed and the most natural ecosystems there are left in the mountains, the rest is tortured by centuries-old plantation farming. Moreover, do not discount the level of science in Cuba, they are good at studying and monitoring their fauna. Are such taxonomic and zoogeographical breakthroughs possible there? I don't think you should worry about the uniqueness of ...
Alexandr! I unluckily have no Papilio polytes ledebouria female only male so can't compare. You should've seen its females in Thailand, Papilio polytes romulus subspecies [Cramer, 1775]. As the photo was not signed, I identified it as polytes and even now I'm sure of that it's a polytes female. As for the Papilio alphenor, the article is to be looked up.
Approximately 300 million red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) butterflies moved from Windsor (Canada, Ontario) to New Brunswick. Such a massive butterfly migration through Eastern Canada was caused by the unusually warm winter in North America. This will surely have some further consequences for other species too. “It's probably the most exciting year for butterflies that Canada has ever seen,” ...
Something strange is happening in nature - we saw the first male deer beetle in the south-east of the region on May 8!!? A record for all periods of observation in our region!In the Belgorod region too samoe
I want to add: the female needs to be allowed to fly for better maturation of the gren, and in the cage where it is located to maintain humidity, otherwise it will dry up ("oviparous organ", I don't remember what it is called who will tell me I will be grateful), otherwise she will not be able to lay eggs as I recently did. And it is convenient to feed them by plucking the flowers of dandelions, ...
