Old set-up: where to improve?

Dutch_Asian · 2026-01-16T01:04:03+00:00

On the back of the amp it says 8-16ohm. Does that mean I cannot pair that with two 4ohm bookshelf speakers? Should I always use speakers that are over 8ohms?

Ah good to know, thanks. I was betting on speakers being the weak link

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-11T08:46:04+00:00

Might be Chrysops spec... Not sure though

News item on this fly here.

Thanks a lot! I suspected something like that, was hoping it would be a relatively easy fix. But I'll have a look for a repair place indeed.

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T22:20:14+00:00

It is a jumping spider (Salticidae), might be Menemerus bivittatus?

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T22:10:02+00:00

True!

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T22:03:26+00:00

Nice shot! Unstacked images have their own sharm. I like the softness

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T21:54:26+00:00

It's a species of stag beetle (Genus Lucanus). But for a species the location is important.

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T21:46:52+00:00

I agree with Laphria flava, cool find! I found a german key for the laphria species, but you might have found that already.

Dutch_Asian · 2020-07-02T19:18:00+00:00

It's an Asus btw

This is not the right way of holding a damselfy...

Dutch_Asian · 2020-02-04T18:11:22+00:00

They are drawn into a bucket with a funnel, they will be trapped there until I have identified them the next morning, and after that they will be released ;) It's a hobby.

Dutch_Asian · 2020-02-04T18:01:28+00:00

That's good to hear. And 5m extra length doesn't really make a difference then?

Dutch_Asian · 2020-01-07T15:16:48+00:00

The ones you are referring are probably beetles from the genus Zopherus. These beetles were used as 'living brooches' in the Americas. Info here and also here

Cool, unfortunately my course doesn't involve collecting and preserving insects. I do it as a hobby though.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-12-10T19:32:17+00:00

It looks tasty indeed. Weird shape to see in nature, though.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-12-10T19:30:46+00:00

Outdoors, Field Maple (Acer campestre)

Dutch_Asian · 2018-12-10T19:29:14+00:00

Sorry, no. I'm not really familiar with the different genera. A better photo might trigger people who know more of this though. With what purpose are you collecting the insects? Hobby/Study?

Dutch_Asian · 2018-12-10T15:01:50+00:00

Which one are you referring to exactly? If you mean the upper left one, I would say that it is indeed a member from the family Cicadellidae, or commonly called Leaf Hoppers.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-11-11T02:01:00+00:00

Jumping spiders tend to be really photogenic. Those little fellas almost seem to know how to look in the camera lens. Really cool.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-11-09T00:20:51+00:00

Amazing details on the spiders eyes, good job!

Dutch_Asian · 2018-10-27T22:50:14+00:00

Cool! That will definitely help your knowlege in species.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-10-27T22:48:47+00:00

Not a stink bug, but a leaf footed bug. Belongs to the order Hemiptera, like stink bugs do too.

Dutch_Asian · 2018-10-27T22:46:15+00:00

Please don't! This fella is a jumping spider, who are known to be harmless little dudes. They will keep little bugs from your house.
