The Insecta Integration Specimen Database Website (IISDW) is founded in China, Nanjing. It is important that there will be Chinese terminologies among species. To make sure that you have a wonderful searching experience, please try not to use Google Translate or there will be a lot of mistakes. Thank you for your cooperation!

Green Scarabs in Zhejiang
To be honest, it is difficult to take photos of the relatively giant scarabs with focal length of 100mm or 105mm because the focus distances are way too further than 50mm ones. So it might take you some time to design the best way to use diffuser. It’s recommended to take lateral-view so the diffuser can cover the whole body of the scarabs.
This part is a gallery in IISDW which means all of the specimen images are painted. Because some of the specimens are extremely rare and expensive that it is nearly impossible to buy one or borrow one for a single specimen image. In order to fix the Gordian knot, I decided to draw them with my computer and put them inside the specimen images module, with the yellow color stripe. I will try as much as I can to show what exactly the insect looks like. Hopefully you can enjoy them 🙂
Without a trip, insect identification will be super boring. Here I choose some quintessence and edit them into diaries.
