Question

Fotografie z 745 m.n.m. Ale videl som fúzača alpského aj vo výške 346,9 m n. m. na súradniciach 48.579432, 18.448277

Answer

Dobrý deň, ďakujeme za dotaz. Je vždy potešením pre milovníka prírody nájsť tohto krásneho chrobáka, fúzača alpského (Rosalia alpina). U nás je chránený, ale larvy žijú v dreve, pričom sa môžu vyskytovať aj v chradnúcich stromoch, prípadne v čerstvo spílených alebo odumierajúcich, a následne môžu technicky znehodnocovať drevo pre ďalšie spracovanie. Obyčajne je skôr nehojný, resp. vzácny, ale v Európe existujú miesta, kde sa vyskytuje častejšie. S pozdravom M. Zúbrik

Question

19. mája zistené postupné usychanie starých ihlíc od špičky (bazálna časť od brachyblastov zostávala dlho zelená). Postupne uschli celé ihlice, následne celé časti koruny až napokon uschol celý strom. Zaujímavé bolo, že májové výhonky spočiatku prirastal

Answer

Zdravím, príde mi to ako sypavka napr. Dothistroma septosporum, Lophodermium sp. Vylúčil by som Sphaeropsis sapinea a podpňovku. A zrejme to nie je ani listožravý alebo podkôrny hmyz. Sypavkám vyhovuje vlhkosť, čo v jari bolo čiastočne zabezpečené chladným počasím. A ide zrejme aj o prehustený porast. Hubu by bolo potrebné potvrdiť prítomnosťou na ihliciach. ale mohlo by ísť ešte aj o čokoľvek iné. Pošlite vzorky, alebo prídeme pozrieť ak sa to nezastavilo. Andrej Kunca

Question

Answer

Hello, It's a Cypress jewel beetle; it has been advancing further north in recent years. The most effective method for its eradication is to prune infested branches or cut and burn infested trees before the adults emerge.   More about the species: https://www.forestpests.eu/pest/lamprodila-festiva   Best regards SR

Honestly no damage but found this strange caterpillar (?) and am worried it will eat my roses. Thank you for the help!

Answer

Dear NN, thank you for your inquiry. The picture shows the larva of the lobster moth (Stauropus fagi). This species lives on various trees and shrubs and does not cause serious damage, as it occurs only individually. I believe that roses are not part of its menu. Have a nice day. M. Zúbrik

Question

vyschnute ihlice

Answer

Dobrý deň, ďakujeme za Váš dotaz. Stav smrekovca tohto typu obyčajne spôsobuje výskyt vošiek, najmä druhu Sacchiphantes viridis. Veľmi podobnú symptomatiku má aj pôsobenie rúrkovčeka smrekovcového (Coleophora laricella). Na presnú identifikáciu by bol potrebný detailnejší pohľad na ihlicu. V prípade výskytu vošiek bývajú ihlice (aspoň časť z nich) ohnuté, často do pravého uhla — ohýbajú sa v mieste cicania larvy. V prípade výskytu C. laricella nie sú ihlice ohnuté, ale sú rovné, hnedé celé alebo čiastočne a na ich povrchu sa nachádzajú malé dierky — na každej ihlici len jedna dierka. Zaradím to k druhu S. viridis, nakoľko sa mi to viac javí ako napadnutie voškou. S pozdravomM. Zúbrik
