By the way, the discussion was amusing. Can we transfer it to the forum? There are other, perhaps, join!
"« Why beetle wings? "They told him not" why ", they have one, and he can use them for flight ." I'm sorry, Peter, but they do it just "why": wings - the adaptation of the organism (species), giving him a definite advantage for resettlement, while looking habitat, sexual partner, food item. At that point, it will not.Forms do not "most appropriate" arranged for survival. What are you ...
Peter! The question "why" is always applicable, that's just the answer is not always clearly understood, but it is from our ignorance, although the overall response will always be so - the maximum suitable for the survival of the species in the ecological niche occupied.
Basil! Here it is not about mimicry, but the konvergenitsii, ie species from distant taxonomic groups acquire similar features as a result of adaptations to similar environmental conditions. Therefore, here too, everything is understandable :). Lifestyle, including larva that lives in the dead wood of coniferous.
And what is a photo still hangs before the race? Well, obviously the same for melete blackened veins. Well there is no such at Dulcinea. Or something I do not understand?
Yes, I have the same :) This is me kidding. Look spread subspecies Vadonia bipunctata bipunctata and V. b. sareptana Danilevsky and put on Gugle point for these findings in the Volgograd region. You'll see a lot of interesting :) I tried with him on this issue is considered normal to talk ... a mosaic distribution of the two subspecies in an area of one hundred square meters.kilometers! And ...
Rod Acmaeus (on Danilevsky :)) in the Palearctic at all. So I have on ground beetles in some places the problem in the treatment of supra-species taxa, but still not as much as in the barbel is obtained.
Corrected data. Lepidoptera / Confidently identified / Vladimir Bobow → Archiearis parthenias / Tentatively identified / Evgeny Komarov.
Corrected data. Lepyrus palustris / Confidently identified → Lepyrus volgensis / Tentatively identified.
Rhode Lepyrus no options (Molytinae), but the view is even doubtful. In Siberia and in the east of Russia unknown to me a bunch of forms.
Corrected data. Cleonini / Confidently identified / Vasiliy Feoktistov → Lepyrus palustris / Tentatively identified / Evgeny Komarov.
Or Aegomorphus obscurior. Photo overly-dramatic contrast, and the photo can not be said with confidence.
And not just like, but it is :) be signed seen a bunch of pictures and this has got to, and now on the signature and stuck without looking. Thank you!
As for the shooting, hardly, just almost all ground beetles secrete a caustic and stinking liquid for self-defense.
It is problematic to determine the shot - can not see the head and pronotum fine. The problem is that its range is to be Chlaenius pallipes, but because of the shooting side and the same light color can not estimate the pronotum and head. And then the impression that their color corresponds to Ch.variicornis, area which, according to "Red Tomiko" is limited to Primorye, but again painting elytral ...
