And for a glass of tea with pleasure, though Moscow I recent years, it does not add up - in fields away vacation! Including Come to Volgograd :)

What about different things, I already knew about :) Just when you write, do not always work to convey the idea ... Just like a biologist, you make me a little dumbfounded by their utterances. Evolution at least according to Darwin, even though any other, alas, will not be canceled. Therefore, the question "why" has a definite answer.

25.03.2016 17:56, Peter Khramov

Eugene, we're talking a little about different things. I began by saying that the "why" is not a bug (or bugs to mind). At all. Can not. Bo "because it happened." We can continue in a particular topic, but I think it is unlikely to which we come (so long talking about different things). Then over a glass of tea to the most it: -)

Basil, I just clicked edit instead of Quote and zafigachit your back instead of your comments: -) Here I swear to God, nespitsalno!

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 talking about?!!! What will not be able to survive in a fire? Flood? While many (living in conditions with regular fires and floods), can. I do not even know that this answer :) Are you under the concept VIEW imagine it? We're not talking about a single individual, and Video.

You deleted nearly all comments, not half. I do not remember it (do not keep a copy).
Subsequently be more careful with editing others' opinions))
And better not to touch it unless there is a mat and other excesses (they were not).

Basil, I'm sorry, I zaglyuchil and deleted half your commentary instead of an answer, write, pliz, again, I put back.

The question "why" is always applicable
Why did it happen? "Why beetle wings?" They told him not "why", they have one, and he can use them for flight.
Although the general response will always be so - the maximum suitable for the survival of the species in the ecological niche occupied .
At that point, it will not.Forms do not "most appropriate" arranged for survival.

25.03.2016 14:06, Evgeny Komarov

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.

25.03.2016 14:04, Evgeny Komarov

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 how about convergence?

Here it is clear why the insect listm imitate: https://insecta.pro/gallery/49572

25.03.2016 12:37, Peter Khramov

Basil, but perhaps the question "why?" In general applies to natural objects?

25.03.2016 12:25, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Generally amazing views.
I remember catching first thought: "Oh, barbel new for himself collected - it's great" )))
And there it was. Oedemeridae beetle appeared.
Generally surprising similarities) Why would he barbel emulate? The mystery, however)
