RE: Insect quiz - win 5 SBD ! / Insektenquiz - gewinne 5 SBD !
Oh what fun, I love this!! 1:coleoptera 2: rhagonycha 3:carabidae 4:hymenoptera 5: lepidoptera 6: heteroptera 7: diptera 8: bombus lapidarius
Glad to find a fellow lover of latin names!
Hm ... Heteroptera is a suborder, isn't it? :-)
Curses. Yes. Should have been Hemiptera!
I'd literally just been looking these guys up as have been taking some pictures of early instars that I was struggling to id.
What do you think of this little fella? Coreus marginatus or syromastes rhombeus I think..........Whatever they're super cool bugs :)
Hm ... that's still a nymph ... thus the species is not easy to determine. I could forward the picture to a specialist though ...
Thanks, that would be lovely......don't want to waste their time with my perfectionist labelling though so only if you think it wouldn't bother them and just be a quick query. I don't neeeed to know the species - it's just nice to!
The person I mean is specialized in Heteroptera. If you have more photos of this suborder then let me know (I better send him a few pictures all at once than many e-mails with one single picture). However it is not always easy to determine a species by watching a photo only ...
Yes, especially when these guys are so tricky to photograph. Really I feel it's a bit of a trivial query to bother someone with and I don't want to put you out. I'm fine with getting it down to family:) Here's my other picture - though another contact seems pretty sure this one is Coreus marginatus.
Congrats, you are the winner of the quiz! :-)
Hooray! Thank you! I really enjoyed your quiz. :)
Congratulations! :)
