Preparation of insect collection with beneficial and harmful organisms

Kukci su najbrojnija grupa životinja na svijetu. Njihova brojnost i raznolikost potaknula je mnoge na proučavanje. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je izraditi zbirku korisnih i štetnih kukaca. Sakupljanje se odvijalo na četiri lokacije: Josipovac, Višnjevac, Metković i Korčula. Kukci su sakupljani tijekom 2015. i 2016. godine. Metode koje su se koristile za sakupljanje kukaca su: entomološke mreže i posude. Do prepariranja kukci su čuvani u alkoholu ili u suhom stanju pa su naknadno omekšavani. Preparirani kukci su determinirani do vrste te su složeni u entomološku kutiju po redovima. Najviše kukaca sakupljeno je u Josipovcu. Unutar zbirke nalazi se 71 kukac iz sedam redova koji zajedno sadrže 50 različitih vrsta kukaca. Najraznolikiji vrstama su redovi Coleoptera (19) i Lepidoptera (18). Većina sakupljenih kukaca su poljoprivredni štetnici. Korisnih kukaca sakupljeno je šest.Insects are the most numerous group of animals in the world. Their number and diversity has prompted many to the study. The aim of this thesis was to make a collection of beneficial and harmful insects. Insecst were collected at four locations: Josipovac, Višnjevac, Metković and Korčula. Insects were collected during 2015 and 2016. The methods used for collecting insects are: entomological nets and pots. Till preparing insects for preservation they were stored in alcohol or in a dry state and later softened. Prepared insects are determined by the species and arranged in entomological box by oredrs. Most species of insects was collected in Josipovac. The Collection includes 71 insects from seven orders which together contain 50 different species of insects. The most diverse species were orders Coleoptera (19) and Lepidoptera (18). Most of the collected insects are agricultural pests. Beneficial insects collected six
