To study the complex problem of the remote migrations of insects SR XR
F analysis seems to he most promising. It provides fast and exact dete
rmination of elemental composition of biosamples, The presence-absence
of ''marking'' elements and groups of elements allows one to identify
geographical populations (origin) of insects. This work is based on t
he planned and specially performed laboratory experiments which should
answer the questions on assimilation of different chemical elements,
migration of these elements atontogeny phases and accumulation or the
release of some elements at the final developmental stages.
