Candidate of Biology S. Sharygin tells about what advantage bring amphibious and kowtowing to farmers, destroying wreckers of plants.
In the Crimea all snakes, legless yashcheyoritsa zheltopuzik, Crimean gecko, Crimean and rocky lizards poedayut various wreckers selyyosky and forestry. In particular, zheltopuzik is the main enemy of land mollusks, especially vinoyogradny snails and naked slugs in sadax and on vineyards. Crimean gekkon eats generally night nayosekomy, including mosquitoes, mosquitoes, scoops and crickets, and in the juniper and oak woods istreblyaet and moths. As the main forage of krymyosky and rocky lizards serve zhuki, pryamokryly and butterflies. To food to the Crimean lizard there are also the bugs, some plant louses and tsikadka. The rocky lizard especially exterminates bugs cockchafers, weevils, and also ognevka much. In stomachs of these lizards najdeny a meadow moth and a yablonny ployodozhorka, a medvedka, harmful saranchoyovy, in particular, Italian prus.
Number zheltopuzika both a krymyosky gecko and their economic znayocheniye are insignificant, but rocky and krymyosky lizards – mass types and it should be considered in biological pest control.
Our allies in fight against harmful animals are also snakes: ordinary, medyanka, viper, leopard, zheltobryukhy and chetyrekhpolosy polozy. Poloza, for example, exterminate a big koliyochestvo of mice, voles and gophers.
