Welcome to our website,

dedicated to presenting our findings and observations of insect from the Afrotropical and Palearctic regions. Rather than providing an exhaustive overview of all known species in these areas, our focus is on those that we find to be particularly rare or interesting.

We believe that this website will provide you with valuable information about the specific locations, habitats, and biotopes where certain species can be found, and under what conditions you might discover them as well.

For inspiration and help in planning your own expeditions, be sure to check out our section on favorite locations.

We wish you enjoyable browsing exprerience and much success in your own discoveries!


The Authors 

I have been interested in entomology since childhood. I have been collecting beetles for over forty years, and for the past fifteen years, my son and I have been traveling around the world for insect expeditions. Join us as we share our passion, uncover the unknown, and reveal the beauty of insect collecting and travel, particularly in Africa, a continent that has truly captured our hearts.

We are committed to continually enriching this website, ensuring it remains a valuable and inspiring resource for all visitors.

Your feedback, suggestions, and observations are always welcome.
If you have any comments on a particular topic, please don't hesitate to contact us.


Notice:
We want to emphasize that we do not trade in insects!
We do not sell, offer, or purchase anything!
Our activities are aligned with environmental conservation, and we actively support the protection of valuable habitats.
