17.08.2006 21:23, Pavel Morozov: comment on Moths and Nymphalid caterpillars in Moscow

The fact is that there are not so many butterflies whose caterpillars live in clusters.Well, there are peacock's eye and mottledwing on the nettle. A whole colony of silvery hole caterpillars can suddenly be caught on a willow tree.Hawks don't usually congregate in one place. You can, of course, find a few caterpillars on the food plant. In general, hawk moth caterpillars, like many others (for ...

I haven't tried it yet, but I keep getting ridged larvae... These are delicious!

15.08.2006 5:13, Juglans: comment on Synanthropic cave grasshopper (Rhaphidophoridae)

In southern Primorye, in old buildings in the countryside, there are such cave grasshoppers. Students, alas, always define them incorrectly, even to the point of a family, since even Plavilshchikov does not have such a family. This is probably Diestrammena unicolor. Pictures:orth.jpg — (147.54к)

This is clearly Argynnis paphia.

13.08.2006 13:41, vespabellicosus: comment on Common dragonfly (Sympetrum vulgatum)

Of course, it would be desirable to see the dragonfly completely , but I would venture to assume that this is a common dragonfly Sympetrum vulgatum.

13.08.2006 13:17, Guest: comment on Garpia Caterpillar

It is similar to Cerura vinula, but it can also be C. erminea, so you need a photo of the caterpillar completely, from above and from the side to determine more precisely.

From the photo gallery Pavel Korzunovich An adult insect of the (green) goldeneye is about 15 mm long, with a body and wing veins of delicate shades of green. Wings in a calm state are folded "hut". The protruding eyes have a bright metallic sheen. Other members of this group of insects are "brown" goldeneyes (family hemerobii). They are smaller than their green sisters, and adult insects have a ...

13.08.2006 5:21, Pakor: comment on Admiral (Vanessa Atalanta)

From the photo gallery Pavel Korzunovich Vanessa Atalanta is one of the most beautiful diurnal butterflies of central Europe, found also in North America and South Asia, and belongs together with the wren and polychrome, peacock's eye and sturgeon vanessa to the category of anguloptera, which are characterized by their shaggy forelegs, angularly carved outer edges of the wings, and caterpillars ...

Solitary bee, possibly Dasypoda or Antophora.

10.08.2006 1:02, Chromocenter: comment on Dramatic increase in the number of Lasius niger ants

Hmm, or maybe they have some form of community - interspecific? Were there females of both species in the "hybrid" anthills? I thought, if only females of the same species, then maybe negra steal flavus larvae... Although it is very possible that everything is simpler: just two anthills in one wormhole... However, on the other hand, the species probably compete in something...

09.08.2006 1:33, Dracus: comment on Ootheca

Identified the female. It turned out to be fasciata. To be honest, I'm disappointed - I really wanted to have tricornis. Ooteka is still being incubated, we are waiting-p.

This is a hawk moth caterpillar, most likely Deilephila elpenor.

04.08.2006 6:27, vespabellicosus: comment on What kind of ants?

In our city, too, wingless female lasiuses have now appeared in large numbers-they are almost everywhere - on the highway, in gardens, in shops. If each one founded a nest, the entire surface of the city would be covered in piles.

02.08.2006 3:57, Ekos: comment on Taxonomy of Gonepteryx

How does anyone relate to the intraspecific taxonomy of the lemongrass Gonepteryx rhamni in Russia? Just different authors distinguish in different ways, from 1 to 4 subspecies we have and I would like to deal with all this... I am also interested in ramni material from the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and the south of Eastern Siberia, and other lemongrass plants from outside Russia.

23.07.2006 22:57, sealor: comment on Hornets - where are they not available?

I've been meaning to ask about that article for a long time.Is it true that as it is written there:1) " Building material hornets are made from the collected material-water,carbohydrate-rich juices and proteins, in the form of extracted insects."2)"Thus, this family is left with only one possibility of further construction-outside the birdhouse, where there is no sufficient protection from the ...

22.07.2006 12:18, inesca: comment on Insects habits

Yes, in our Far East, too, religiosa hissed like that. At first I didn't understand where the sound came from, but then I became interested and found out everything. I think it's just a defensive reaction. And the males are actually somewhat "softer" or something. This year, students brought me the larva of a praying mantis, too. I've never heard of mantises being bred in Tatarstan, but it's a ...

20.07.2006 12:00, Papont: comment on A dragonfly

Well, thanks to the only one who responded Small Internet research has led to the following results. There are really few types of beauties. By <url> no more than four. Apparently this is in Russia. Calopteryx virgo, as indicated in many sources, is a Palearctic species. It can't be found in the United States. In North America, there are five species of the genus Calopteryx, although I ...

17.07.2006 16:39, Nilson: comment on Common butterflies in Tuapse

Yes, that's nonsense! IMHO, P. machaon is not a species whose numbers (on a regional scale) can be threatened only by trapping, reasonable trapping, of course.This post was edited by Nilson - 17.07.2006 16: 40

17.07.2006 14:33, unicum: comment on Helpers

You don't quite understand me - the man asked for a list of species that he can meet when he arrives there in August. It was strange for me to see there, because in our country (Kaluga is a wide strip, 180 km from the capital) Zerynthia polyxena occurs (if it occurs) only for a limited time in late April-early May and that's it . And then it turns out that somewhere it can be caught in August and ...

About entomolog.com: a reliable site. Reliable people.I support you! The people are nice, the material is defined reliably, inexpensive, but so far there is not much to eat.

12.07.2006 11:28, RippeR: comment on Primorsko-Akhtarsk

I'll take a look during the hikes, maybe I'll find out what..

11.07.2006 21:03, Bad Den: comment on What is the name of the sexual organ of male insects?

The edeagus consists of 3 parts: the penis (medial part), the tegmen (often divided into a basal part (phallobase) and parameres attached to the basal part), and the inner sac (endophallus).See figure (BP-basal part, PE-penis, P-parameres, endophallus not shown)

10.07.2006 18:05, Pavel Morozov: comment on Dolbina

Females can be distinguished from males by the antennae (in females it is thinner), by the abdomen.Below is a link to the Tony Pittaway website.http://tpittaway.tripod.com/sphinx/d_ele.htm

07.07.2006 13:29, DHL: comment on About thorn butterflies...

I would not say that the population in Estonia is so uneven. It is consistently abundant in suitable biotopes.

07.07.2006 5:56, vespabellicosus: comment on Ants of the genus Formica

As Bad Den correctly pointed out, it is difficult to distinguish formic from common photos. Apparently, this species belongs to the group of red forest ant. This is most likely Formica rufa , F. polyctena, or F. aquilonia. F. pratensis is also possible. The nesting site is also of great importance for determining whether it was at the edge or in the thickest part, whether there was dense ...

Yazykan, exactly.

05.07.2006 21:29, Pavel Morozov: comment on Callimorpha dominula L.

Very nice butterfly. Maybe even our most beautiful butterfly!I note that they are very easy to deduce. Caterpillars willingly eat nettles, very unpretentious. I will also add that in the conditions of the middle zone, it prefers damp forest clearings and edges. It is found in swampy forests and peat bogs. Therefore, first of all, draining the swamps can lead to its disappearance.

28.06.2006 16:24, Solarway: comment on Transportation of butterflies

Wait - in different ways, depending on the temperature, size of the butterfly, etc. It usually took me at least a day. You can speed up the process, but I don't recommend it. And the degree of softening look at the eye, if the wings can already be moved-ready.Thank you very much for the clarification.

25.06.2006 18:09, Ok: comment on What will happen to the caterpillar and to me?
