Can you tell me places where you can catch wine hawkmoth in Moscow and in neighboring cities? They don't fly everywhere. Besides, I don't mind learning some favorite place of any kind.

to Tyomochin: the wine hawk moth can be caught in almost any landscape where there is ivan tea. The best way is to find caterpillars on a forage plant in the second half of summer, be patient, finish feeding them and bring them out, even in winter.
If you catch-then from the middle of June on mixed grass meadows, vacant lots, somewhere in the country (if any) in a flower garden with such fragrant plants as matiola, petunia, sweet tobacco. Personally, I caught it near a wounded oak tree with fermenting juice leaking out. You can use the bait-braga, etc.

to Dracus: mnemosyne in the Moscow region flies reliably in the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve and its immediate surroundings. You can't catch anyone on the territory of the reserve without a proper permit, but you can do it outside. If you have a topographic map of the Moscow Region, then look for the Simferopol Highway (which runs between Serpukhov and the reserve) and the Sushka River crossing it in the reserve area. That's where mnemosyne flies. Their density there is low compared to the reserve, but you can make a series for yourself. It has been flying since the end of May.

to Morozzz
It's good that they continue somehow there. But in order for the population to die out, you don't need to catch all of it. It is enough for the population to fall to a certain critical point (relatively speaking, 100 copies).: I have been at my home regularly for several years. For many years I have been catching our six-legged friends (red cockroaches, that is) with a trap to feed mantises, greenhouses and other grasshoppers, etc.So, for the last 2 years, all my cockroaches have white eyes. Recently, I noticed that there are already short-whiskered individuals with elytra curled up in a ram's horn (mutations known to geneticists). Draw your own conclusions.
So if someone needs a lot of mnemosyne-welcome to Tambov region. There, in the floodplain of the Ilovai River, they are up to ... well, in general, a lot:)

Mlin, of course, wanted to quote, not thank... Although how to say: maybe not in vain thanked... For raising the topic, as with the stag beetle

Spharischen so: Coordinates apolloniyih points post on Forum truth that not need to. Not a secret from each other, but from the guests who appear here, but do not post (the forum has already risen quite a bit - I have a suspicion that merchants have already begun to take an interest). And lowland apollo populations are one of the few things that it's really not safe to show them.
However, Kozelskaya tochka is the secret of polichinelle. But I won't publish it here either. Moreover, it is difficult to explain in words (it is better to meet in real life and discuss it with the scheme in your hands).

At the same time, it makes sense to do a little cryptozoology. As well as about cervus, there are oral reports about Apollo in the Moscow region. Interestingly, they all belong to the Yegoryevsky district, or rather to a certain area in this area - where there are many xerophytic communities with scum. Maybe the population is sitting somewhere? In principle, females sometimes fly quite far away - maybe people have seen such crazy females ...
You can talk about the details separately.

Yes, once again: if there is or will be some info on Apollo - do not hang on the forum. We will communicate in private (for example, we will assign someone to the thread "responsible for apollo" - and through it

)
