E rieccomi qui con un nuovo interrogativo fresco fresco di giornata! (forse anche più di uno). Dunque... ho trovato questa bizzarra bestiola a pancia all'aria sulle scale e con la genuina incoscienza del bimbo curioso, l'ho prontamente raccolta per esaminarla meglio: l'animale presenta un "pattern" alquanto variegato come potrete vedere, ha il ventre e parte del posteriore bianchi e inoltre presenta delle -poco rassicuranti- mandibole trincianti. Tra le mie mani, sembrava trovarsi più a suo agio che sulle piante... (ho provato a posarlo su dei fiori, ma il soggetto non gradiva e sembrava spaventato; allora l'ho portato dentro, ma si è agitato come se avesse colto l'improvviso cambio di ambiente, così ho continuato a tenerlo con me in giardino preparandomi psicologicamente ad ogni eventuale scatto che il mio nuovo piccolo amico avrebbe potuto manifestare. Malgrado le pile scariche della mia fotocamera dell'anteguerra, sono riuscita a fare qualche foto più o meno decente del bizzarro esserino, che con molta probabilità, sarà un insetto comunissimo ma che io non ho mai avuto il piacere di incontrare fin'ora. Vi sarei molto grata se mi aiutaste ad identificarlo!
P.S: Sinceramente, escludo la possibilità che sia un coleottero... insomma, non presenta alcun tipo di elitre! Ma potrei benissimo sbagliarmi, del resto, sono cintura nera di castroneria!

Hmm... mi ricorda un po' il formicaleone, può essere? (OK, se ho appena scritto una cavolata abnorme, fate finta di niente)
Le altre quaranta che ho fatto, sono quasi tutte sfocate, YAY! Certo che la mia inettitudine ormai si manifesta anche nelle azioni più sempilici... NO COMMENT. Vado a magnà... buon pranzo!

Veramemte uno strano animale! Io non l'ho mai visto!
Purtroppo, credo proprio che sia un coleottero; non te la prendere ......
Dovendo ipotizzare una famiglia, direi Curculionidae o simili, ma potrebbe anche essere una famiglia meno nota.
Aspettiamo gli esperti! Ad ogni modo, credo che tu abbia realizzato un bello scoop.

WOW! Allora è davvero un coleottero! Forse dispone di elitre, ma non ci ho fatto caso... o almeno, non si notano molto. Sono alquanto sorpresa, dunque è davvero uno strano esemplare. Che bello, sono contenta di aver potuto documentare questo ritrovamento! Anch'io sono curiosissima di sentire il parere degli esperti.
Ahahahahahahahahahahah! No, fortunatamente non c'erano le mie unghie sul menù di oggi! Lo so, è una brutta abitudine... però almeno mi torna utile quando suono il piano o la chitarra!
Ah, ho appena fatto altre foto alla misteriosa creaturina! L'avevo posata sul tavolo di fuori e lui/lei si è appolaiato su un portacenere... adesso ce l'ho qua vicino, sembra molto tranquillo/a. Questi scatti rimediano certamente all'epic fail degli altri che non ho postato perchè mossi, sfocati ecc. Non è facile usare la macchinetta con una mano sola mentre nell'altra tieni un esserinio che potrebbe comunque svignarsela da un momento all'altro o morderti, o peggio: mettersi a correre! Quindi, eccolo nuovamente a voi!

Mi correggo
Non è un Curculionidae, ma un Anthribidae. Io non ne ho mai incontrati, ma nel forum ci sono parecchie foto. Potrebbe essere Platyrhinus resinosus. ... addio scoop!..... luigi |

Ah-aaah! Ecco svelato l'arcano. Pazienza se non è uno scoop! In ogni caso, è la prima volta che mi capita di incontrare questo esemplare, un'esperienza in più da aggiungere al mio "diario entomologico"!
Oh! direi proprio che ci hai preso, Luigi! Si tratta proprio di Platyrhinus resinosus: l'ho cercato su internet e a questo punto, non resta alcun dubbio. L'ho osservato per un po' e sembra non apprezzare i rumori e il buio (l'ho tenuto dentro per un po' e logicamente, non c'è la stessa luce di fuori); adesso l'ho lasciato che si arrampicava sul bordo di un vaso e pareva quasi che stesse per buttarsi in quello di sotto. Grazie di cuore per avermi aiutato ancora una volta!
Eh eh, è proprio vero Jaco: è una "gran" bella bestiola!
P.S: Ho appena letto che le larve si sviluppano sotto le cortecce di alberi morti... quì hanno fatto a pezzi un vecchio pino Daleppo che era nel nostro giardino da trentanni circa: io mi ero opposta ma nessuno mi ha dato ascolto come al solito; tuttavia alla fine si è scoperto che l'albero sarebbe crollato -è venuto il perito ad accertarsene personalmente prima che fosse abbattuto- e così gli operai hanno fatto uno scempio e distrutto mezzo mondo. Per farla breve, ci siamo tenuti delle sezioni del tronco e altre sono in garage con la corteccia che si va staccando man mano che passano i giorni... con ottima probabilità il nostro curioso amico viene da lì (anche perchè il pino era già morto da un pezzo). Da quando non c'è più, siamo invasi dalle pantegane che si fregano le arance nelle ceste la notte, ma questa è un'altra storia. Ah, ma è vero che questi coleotteri si nutrono di funghi? Devo dire che mi incuriosiscono molto!

It is Platyrhinus resinosus, a species living on fhungus of book trees (Fagus spec.) and found most often in earlie spring and earlie autumn on dead, old rotten book trees.

Oh, I had no idea there was someone speaking english in this forum! I see. There was an old dead pine that was torn to pices some weeks ago because it was going to fall on our house... now we got some stumps left, so, as I said before, this should explain where this pretty little fellow came from! I also heard that it's possible to find it in early summer in certain zones, but not in this country I suppose. Anyway, this is the first time I see it. Thank you very much for answering my question!

Oh, don't worry! Italian has an elaborate grammar... once I tried to teach it to an american friend, but it was more difficoult than it seemed. You're form Germany, right? I studied deutsch at school, but it was when I was little so I just remember three or two words and a children song about the four season! Well, I'm not 100% sure that it actually came from the pine, but it could be quite probable. That tree was pretty old, and it died this autumn or winter... I can't really remember in which month. I can tell that I had no clue too about this creature... at least, 'till this morning! Oh, you're welcome. I love insects so I use to breed some and also watch them living their lives around in my garden. I can't say I know much since I'm not an expert, but if there's anything you'd like to know, feel free to ask! I'm quite good with english and also, I'm always glad to help out if I can!

Hmm, I can't tell... around that Pine we grew aromatic plants such as sage and rosemary, so I didn't pay attencion to this dettail since there are all of these bushes around; anyway, we often have tiny fungi between the path tiles not so far from there: they grow in large amounts when the wheater is damp and rainy. Maybe I should investigate the main stump. We have also a lot of lemon and orange trees, sometimes there are mushrooms growing very close to them. There is a lot of rotten wood anyway, I guess it makes a good home for a lot of insects.
Oh, now you would probably laugh a lot about it! The words that I remember are so random! For example, Kartoffel and Luftschlangen! (I learned this last one in a lesson where the main characters of our textbook were having some kind of party) I remember that Danke is "thanks" and Bitte is "you're welcome" and also that Ich is "I" and that Der Himmer is "the sky". I can't believe I've forgotten all I've learned in my last 3 years of elementary! That's too bad. This instead is that song I was speaking of before: Es war eine Mutter
die hatte vier Kinder: den Frühling den Sommer
den Herbst und den Winter.
Der Frühling bringt Blumen der Sommer den Klee der Herbst bringt die Trauben der Winter den Schnee.
Und wie sie sich schwingen im Jahresreihn so tanzen und singen wir fröhlich darein.
Now I had to search the lyrics because even tough I can still sing it, I have no clue about how to write the words correctly! I used to sing it a lot, I guess it's quite famous amongst little kids. I also remember how to ask if you need a toilet, but nevermind! Bye for now!

I'm not quite sure, but I think it is a well known song in my generation, when I was young, which is almost 40 years ago. But somehow nice to get remembered by this way. ;)
And I never laugh about what ever people remember or know about foreign languages. I have been several times in England and can remember a guy who was proud to know the german words "Wiener Schnitzel". Funny somehow, but on the other hand at least he knwe two german words. And there is a few more you know and I'm sure you will remember many more of them when you here them, when you would speak them.
I talked a lot of English and still do (like here) and I often wonder how I knew words and that I can find those words somewhere in my brain. So don't laugh, but be just proud on yourself. ;)

Oh, thank you so much! I have somekind of nostalgic feeling... childhood years where the best, so it's nice for me too to remember this song! Even if I'm just at the beginning of my twenties, I miss my past and all of my happy days as a kid. So I dearly treasure all of those memories. I really hope to remember more: maybe I should give a look to my old homeworks! Now at school they teach you only english (that is becoming an universal language after all), and french; I think I was lucky to have the chance to study deutsch too! I can tell that your english is really good. I learned the most of the words I know by myself... my teachers lessons was always about random and useless things such as "the cat is on the table" or "Meg and Jeff are going to visit uncle ______ (I don't remember his name now)" By the way... may I ask what are the italian words you know? Ciao!

My Italian words? Lets think about it, but let me tell that I know words I possibly don't know how to spell *g* ;):
gracie gracie mille (mille gracie) buongiorno buonasera uno, due, tre, quatro, cinque, sei, sette, otto prego ciao rosso, nero, blu (azzurro), verde pesce mer..
and I guess I would find some more when I think about it. I get to understand words like "o", "e", "ecco", questo and if I read it slowly and if I have a lot of time to think about it I do understand a bit, but you couldn't talk to me very much in italian. And I often start to mix it up with the few words I do know of french or spanish. But most important is that I learned to say what ever I have to say if I know how to say. I'm not frightened to speak the bit I know even if I know it can be very wrong. ;)
the fact with foreign languages in school is that at least you have to learn a few often used words and know how to put it into language. The first two or three years you don't learn much more than phrases. After that you get to learn a bit more and than you start to learn the boring and absolutely unimportant things: interpretation of books of well known authors, asking for the thoughts they had when they wrote they stories and most of the time you do think that they never thought anything, but how to get the story interresting so they sell a lot of books and earn a lot of money. *g*
Most of my English I learned when I spend my summer holidays in England, working on a farm, being on my own and had to speak English. Most of all I learned the pronounciation, which was always better than of any of my classmates. No one ever understood why my grades in English were that bad, but interpretation is not given to me. I'm to realistic for this kind of fantasy. *g*

Oh, you spelled correctly all of them except "gracie" that it's "grazie" but is easy to mistake. Also, in spanish it's "gracias" so one could make a little confusion, but that's no great mistake at all. Ah ah, "mer..." actually it's always one of the first words that one comes to know when approacing a new language! Isn't it somewhat funny?
Anyway, I think you can understand even more, because you was able to understand what I asked about the Platyrhinus resinosus, and your answer was good and accurate!
I just remembered "shwartz" that is black! I knew all of the colors and numbers too, even how to say if a tonality was light or dark! My english teacher told me once that there are often two different ways to say the same word: one, is similar to the italian way while the other is likely the german. Fore exemple, the word "storm"... it's almost the same as "strum" (I REMEMBERED ANOTHER ONE!) but you can also say "tempest" which sounds like "tempesta". I found this thing extremely interesting! That's good you're not afraid to speak a different language. I'm trying with japanese lately... I may be a disaster, but I don't give up! Ah ah! I've never see it this way, but I guess it's true for a lot of authors especially, in these years. They just write about something stupid and useless because a lot of brainless teenagers will buy their books making them rich and famous! I'd love to become an authoress someday... but the genre of my stories is not that popular, so only few will truly apprecitate them, I guess. I can tell that I loved english litterature at the high school, but because the 5th year came a new teacher that was very aknoweldgeable about the subject.
Oh, you worked in a farm? That must have been such a peaceful place. I love nature and animals, I'd die in a busy city without green! My grades were bad too at first, especially at the middle school... but they changed when I started playing some videogames with english dialogues! If I wanted to finish them, I had to deal with english as well, so I made a lot of progress all in a row! It may sound stupid, but this passion of mine helped me out a lot. Germany's grade system is the opposite of ours, right? The lowest is the number, the better is the result you've got, isn't it?
Buonanotte (goodnight)!

I took a look at a few of them how to spell, because I thought you might not understand the words I used to write down when I don't write them correctly. I guess gracie is burned into my brain, why ever, and I think it will be very hard to get this mistake out of my brains, but I try and I do hope everyone reminds me, when I wrote it wrong again (just answered in another thread and I'm sure I wrote it again with "c" ;) ).
Yes, there is a lot of similar words in Westerneurope, because of the romans who left their language in France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Greatbritain and Germany. If you take a look at other European languages you will see, that those are very different. By the way, tempesta = Sturm and schwarz ;) *g* And as far as I know, if you're able to learn Japanese, German should be no problem for you. I got told, that Japanese is much more difficult.
I have to think about it. But why should Goethe, f.e., have been thinking about the mental state of his protagonists? He loved writing and wanted to write a story to earn money, to get famous. If I remember "Faust" of Goethe it was nothing but sex and crime, nothing but the same stuff you find in many stories today. There are deffinitely authors who have been thinking about the way of write. They had to, like, I guess it was Heinrich Boell f.e., those in the NS-time of Germany. They had to think about the writing their critic stories about NS and Nazis or they would have been killed by the Nazis. But how many authors did have problems like those? I didn't like interpretation and still don't do. I always wondered where my classmates found this sick arguments they told the teacher. But maybe I'm just to realistic for this stuff. Who knows?
Yes, I have been on a farm, planting cauliflower, making hay, harvesting corn and some stuff that had nothing to do with farm work (like surching golf balls ). But htis wasn't this peaseful as it sounds like. It was hard work from 08.00 in the morning till 19.00 in the evening and sometimes longer. But how hard this work ever was, I liked it. And I had a wonderful outlook at the coast, because the farm was along a cliff and near one of the sparse sand beaches (mainly pebbled beach). So I had a very good time. And I wouldn't have gone back, if it wasn't a good time (I have been there for summerholydays in three years).
You see? I forgot this one. ;)

Hallo! As I said before, that wasn't a big mistake at all. I mean, you just confuse the letter "z" with the "c" so, it's ok... I mispelled sturm and schwarz! I used to make often mistakes like this when I started with english.
Actually, I was able to speak deutsch... but everything I knew, went out of my mind in a very odd way, just all of a sudden. Usually, I don't forget the things I learn, but I guess I was too little... and there is also the fact that I had to deal with a totally diffrent subject. My aunt had an uncle in Germany if I'm not wrong. She took me very good sweets from there! Anyway, she studied a lot of different languages at school, so I suppose that she knows deutsch too, but I can't recall.
Yeah, it's true! A lot of languages share the same origins, even tough they may sound so different from each other. Oh, I'm learning some japanese words especially listening songs, reading the english translation along with the romaji... music it's always a good way to approach a new language!
I've never read Goethe, but I have a pocket edition of one of his books at home. It's somewhere around here, no clue where. Interpretation could be tricky sometimes, but I always got the higest grades so, I can't complain. That's true: the Nazis used to censor everything that didn't get along with their "politics" and here in Italy were the same too, since we had Mussolini. My father was born in 1936, so he remembers that period quite well even if now he's an old man. I want to write what I like, I don't mind the others and I'm fine this way.
Coming to think of it... farming must be really an hard work! But if one likes his own job then, it's an happy person even if at the end of the day is tired to the bones! I'm sure there must have been such a wonderful sight from there, a beautiful landscape could make you feel free sometimes... well, I just don't know why, but it somewhat does. Golf balls? It's one of the last thing I'd expet to find in a farm! I guess it wasn't easy at all to find all of them around.
Well, Auf Wiedersehen!

Ciao Elena,
I guess you still can remember all the German you once spoke. You just have to do it and all your knowledge comes back bit for bit. some things you have to learn again, but most of it you can remember when you just speak the language.
I think there is no use in reading Goethe. His stories might be more interresting when they were written in the language of today, but even than the plot would be more or less boring for the readers, because the facts that were interresting 200 years ago, because no one spoke about it and getting a child without beeing married was kind of crime at this time, is the boring daily routine of today. So I think, if one is not interrested in old literature, there is no use in reading it. ;)
And yes, farming was a good job, a job I liked much, but even a job I didn't want to do my whole life. It was good for holidays, but it was enough so. Golfballs is off course something no one would expect on a farm. But the farm I was working on was next to a golf court. From the start to the green at one hole, the players had to go round a corner. In between the fields of the farm. The bad players hit the ball round the corner, the good ones tried to hit it over the fields and many didn't reach the golf court and dropped into the field. So every year, after we harvested the corn, we could collect golf balls in a number up to 800. We washed them and threw the bad ones away and the farmer sold the good ones to the players back for 0,50 pound sterling (a new golf ball was 2,50!!!). ;)
And now..., here we are. I can remember another word I know:
Arrivederci Klaas |
