Hi!
My name is Peter and I am from Sweden. I wonder if you cuold recomend a book about israeli butterflies? The only book i have foundout about is a book in hebrew... and that is out of my range...! I will visit Israel first half of april this spring. Is that to early in season for any butterflies in Eilat region??
Hy Eddiyman,
You will be here on winter, so much less insects than usual.
You can contact me by mail for further info.

Hi!
I'm very happy to find that site! I'm going to fly to Israel this year in winter (19. dec.-6. jan.) What Insects are there in this time? What can I bring with to Germany without permission? (I'm interested in Mantodea, butterflies and a bit in Spiders) Can you help me?

Your close up shots of insects are way beyond amazing! Did I miss the preying mantis?

Impressive and very interesting. Please continue developing the Site and the knowledge.
Hi Steve,
There are no real giants in Israel for the exception of Lucanus cervus and some Cerambycidae that can reach 6-8cm. Can you give me more details?

Hey there Rittner, great site! I have a question about beetles in Israel. I'm trying to learn about 'giant beetle' that lives in the wooden foundations of structures in Israel. Anything you can tell me would be great and much appreciated.

Hi Oz, I am a new olah in Israel and seeing many interesting living creatures in and around my apartment since I arrived. (lots of what I think are small geckos, crickets, and in particular what I think is a moth that I would like to identify, Can I upload a photo and ask you if you recognize it? It's behavior seems a little unusual (stays in one place for a long long time without moving). I just registered. Todah rabah!
it is not suprising, there are hundreds of species not yet on the site
and you are welcome to post it anytime
Regards
Oz

היי,נידמה לי שצילמתי במעלות חידקונית אשר לא מופיעה באתר זה !
Hi Danny,
You should seperate cocoon (in hebrew "Peka'at") which is made by silk to protect the larve during pupation and Pupa (Golem) which is the actual thing.
Sphingids (rafrafim) and day butterflies do not make cocoons as they become pupa. If you see a pupa it can be of other insects but if the shape is the same more or less and there are no legs coming out of it and ect than its probaby will be a butterfly (or a moth).

How very beautiful.
Thanks for the site. I have come across the site by chance, esarching for info on the butterfly farm in kidron. Now I know that the Rafraf I have met at home recently is indeed a Rafraf ha Gefen. And I have a question: Are the cocoons of butterflies distinct among insects? That is, if I see a cocoon that looks like the ones in your pictures (of butterflies cocoons), is it likely to of a butterfly?
