Vladimír Štrunc is an amateur entomologist, musician, professional photographer. He is also an author and publicist of entomological books, which are produced in cooperation with the capacities in the discipline. He also is a co-author of various multimedia projects about the Czech Republic and the nature around us in general. He has been involved in photography and macro photography since 1996.
I am writing to ask for your support for a project to promote entomology to the widest possible community of nature enthusiasts, students, educators, insect photographers and, of course, entomologists. The project consists in publishing entomological publications and showing the diversity, distribution of important families of the order Coleoptera.
Family
The family Cicindelidae, Tiger Beetles, commonly known as tiger beetles, encompasses a diverse group of predatory insects characterized by their distinctive appearance and agile hunting abilities. With over 2,600 species identified worldwide
Family
The Buprestidae (Jewel beetles) is one of the most remarkable and diverse groups of beetles found throughout the world. These beetles are particularly interesting because of their attractive colouration and shiny surface of the trunk, which has earned them the nickname "jewel beetles".
Family
The family Cerambycidae, also known as the Longhorn beetles, is a very diverse group of beetles characterized by their long and slender bodies and particularly long antennae. This family includes more than 35 000 species, which are found all over the world except Antarctica.
Family
Their predatory nature, unique adaptations, and the challenges they face in a changing environment underscore the importance of continued research and conservation efforts in entomology.
The family Cicindelidae (Tiger Beetles), commonly known as tiger beetles, encompasses a diverse group of predatory insects characterized by their distinctive appearance and agile hunting abilities. With over 2,600 species identified worldwide, these beetles are found in a variety of habitats, including sandy beaches, forest floors, and grasslands. Their ecological significance is profound, as they play a crucial role in controlling pest populations and maintaining the balance within their ecosystems.
