I was meaning to ask you, how do you tell apart the genders of the insects?

A very good magnifying glass is my guess.

It depends on.
Some species have different appearence for males or females (colours, shapes, etc.) while some species have bigger females than males.
And yes, in some cases you need a magnifying glass to check the genital of the specimen.
If you have\get books about insects those contains descriptons where usually written what's the differences between the genders of the same species.

Most zoology books I own are about birds. But thanks for the answers.

Awww, I miss bats. The house I grew up in was a big remodeled house from the Victorian era, except the attic still looked like something in a Harry Potter movie, and bats were able to get inside it from somewhere, and then occasionally they could make their way into the house. My mother would start ****ting bricks whenever she saw one, and then I'd come charging in with my broom and gloves to capture it (since my dad would often end up killing them) They're cute in their own way, although it's good for me that their tiny razor teeth can't puncture leather. The bats I caught looked identical to that one.

Bat's are real cute. I remember when I used to go holidaying with my family to Italy, not far from the Dolomites mostly. At dusk the bats used to fly past and the evening sky just used to go black because there were so many of them. I used to love it. It was like something from the movie Pitch Black.

Bats are really cool indeed, I can't wait for the future when they will replace those stupid birds. I'd love to see bats as common animals during the day.
(fun fact: I just remembered that I have seen Pitch Black...)
Man I can't believe that you have such huge insects and spiders and Hungary.

maybe he's afraid to get another ninja-penalty. I'd say that the mods should get on that.
Also, great photos Duke, I really like the woodpecker.

I was on a trip again, so despair mortals!
I was on a little trip again which cause another massive load of nature photos!
Enjoy!
That's me (hehe) at the beginning of the trip. I pose in the very border of a nature protected territory where I made some biomonitoring again...
And here comes what I have shooted:
Chlorophorus varius - male specimen, feeding on Solidago canadensis' flowers
Graphosoma lineatum (italicum in old books) - mating couple
Chorthippus albomarginatus - brachyptere female specimen
Euthystyra brachyptera - female. This one is a very pretty specimen!
Mantis religiosa - green male adult
Mantis religiosa - brown male adult
Mantis religiosa - green female adult
Mantis religiosa - green female nymph
Mantis religiosa - brown female nymph
Bombus lapidarius - worker during work
Metryoptera bicolor - female adult specimen, she was really brave as she didn't run away as I approached to her...
Palomena prasina - freshly molted adult female
Platycleis affinis - adult female katydid about 4 cm long with her wings...
Platydracus stercorarius - pressumably female...
Scolia hirta - female
Scolia hirta - male
Spechodes albilabris - mayhaps female?
Arion rufus
A whole bunch of critters I know but I hope this won't reduce the quality of this thread because of some pic-loading-lags

Lovely pictures Duke, also you look about as enthusiastic as a man can get, (that's provoking a B-Boy reply mind you ), also
I do miss the mantises and the grasshoppers.
