Summary​

The transformation of the izeltlabuak.hu identification system has been in progress for several years. The current system only allows experienced identifiers to provide opinions on observations, but the planned new system will enable all users to participate in the identification process. This will be similar to the iNaturalist approach, but will prioritize the reliability of identifications. During development, the observation display interfaces have been redesigned, and changes are also planned in the taxonomic system database structure. The gradual introduction of the new system is expected once the dependencies are resolved.

About the European Moth Nights event​

European Moth Nights 2023 was a special opportunity for izeltlabuak.hu to join an event that brings together moth enthusiasts. This event provided a unique opportunity for those interested in moths to share their passion and collectively study these mysterious creatures.

European moth red list​

After contributing to the European Red List of butterflies, we participated in another project organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We provided 60,000 observation data for a new project, the creation of the European Moth Red List.

European butterfly red list​

We have provided 30,000 observation data to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for the upcoming update of the European Butterfly Red List.

The data is used to assess the distribution of threatened species.

We often hear about bugs, especially during this late summer period of the year, that infiltrate our homes and drive many of us crazy. What can we know about these animals? True bugs (Heteroptera) are a species-rich suborder, with nearly 900 species living in Hungary. What makes bugs often come into focus is due to a few species. I would like to briefly introduce those that often fly into homes. If you have also seen any of them, record the observation and you can get identification from us.

Two species of seed bugs live in Hungary. The black-and-red-bug (Lygaeus equestris) and the Lygaeus simulans. They are very similar to each other, and it is not possible, or very difficult, to distinguish between the two species with the naked eye. In this article, I will try to highlight the differences necessary for species identification. Both species are common in Hungary.

In late autumn and spring, when walking in forests and fields, we often see large, dark-colored, hairy caterpillars crossing the road or feeding on some herbaceous plant. People familiar with folk language easily call these "papmacska", but this name is only used for tiger moth caterpillars, primarily the garden tiger moth (Arctia caja) caterpillar, while the above description fits more species. With this article, I would like to help with their identification and distinction.

This article was created to help distinguish between the Brown marmorated stink bug - Halyomorpha halys and the mottled shieldbug - Rhaphigaster nebulosa.

This year, a hoax about a so-called "kissing bug" that spreads disease is circulating among Hungarian websites. With this article, I would like to dispel the fears that arise from this. In short: we don't need to be afraid of it, such a dangerous animal does not live in Hungary, or even in Europe.
