This year in Portugal there was a very clear decrease/waning number and diversity in all insect orders. Fewer tachinids than usual, for example. Fennel flowers are very scarce of insects these days.

Thank very much Paul it is very helpful to know these words

Paul Beuk 03 June 2016 15:52:03

Hinterleib -> abdomen; Ring -> Segment, because strictly speaking it is the tergite and sternite that form the ring.

oceanlis2000 03 June 2016 11:10:29

Another couple of old words which I would be grateful for help on Hinterleib narrow, light grey with a pair of small rounded spots on Ring 2 and 3, 4th Ring ungefleckt Hinterleib- ? Ring - terga?

in fact I prefer Schwinger to halteren

oceanlis2000 23 May 2016 11:37:17

Thx very much Paul

Paul Beuk 23 May 2016 08:12:15

Yup, Schwinger is halter, a yellow halter in this case.

oceanlis2000 21 May 2016 11:32:18

Can anyone help out with the German word Schwinger gelb - is this an old word for Haltere?

The sentence translates as 'in the very wet and decayed wood of an old elm tree'.
