I would also rush to Ilovlya for a spin. In the fishing reports, a couple of years ago, there was information about who caught where and when. But I remember that it was during the May holidays. But the points would not be bad.

Tell me a place, the closer to the Kiev region, the better, where 100% every year there are Polyxenes. And it is desirable that you do not have to look for them for a long time. smile.gif I want to go with a tent on the weekend, take pictures of them.

By the way, I would be surprised if they are not directly in Kiev...

08.04.2016 20:43, Hierophis

And polekseny yes, they fly already, yesterday they met them for the first time this season, Kiev is a little further away, so they probably haven't flown there yet ))

It is necessary just at such a time to climb in different places around the city, and they will find themselves, so intersenee wink.gif

Wow, what a fresh one!

vafdog, look for thickets of kirkazon. Poldiksena is interesting because it does not like to fly far from the place of brood. Here it is, and in quantity, and in a kilometer already in the afternoon with fire will not be found.

I know all that. But for several years I have not found a kirkazon near me and now I have no desire to look, besides I want to go somewhere. I was hoping to get an answer to a specific question.
But there is still hope...

09.04.2016 16:21, ИНО

Kirkazone is much easier to find than polyxene itself.

12.04.2016 6:50, alex13-nik

Don't tell me... Now the polyxenes are already flying in full swing, and the kirkazon is not yet out of the ground. Last year I found a point and couldn't understand: what are they doing there? There was no Kirkazon at all. And only at the end of May, the sprouts of kirkazon appeared, and later on they were found the caterpillars of polyxena.

I meant that the place of mass growth of kirkazon is easier to find ahead of time, and then every spring to come there for polyxenes, and not only for butterflies, but also for caterpillars, in May there are a lot of them in the early morning.

There are recent indications for Koncha-Zaspa near Kiev, but I do not know exactly where to look for it there and how local it is. I observed polyxene in the vicinity of Cherkasy.

12.04.2016 13:08, usya04

About Konchi-Zaspa too much that she was on Zhukov Island. Previously, it was still in Feofania, but in recent years I have not found it there.

There is, exactly in the district of the village of Chapayevka (Koncha-Zaspa).I've seen them in previous years, but only a few of them are there, along the lake and swamps on both sides of the old highway to Obukhov.

There was a question. Do spring girls fly in cloudy weather or not? confused.gif

16.04.2016 20:59, Hierophis

Here, or somewhere else, there were some strange suggestions that bavius appears when sage drooping blooms. So, the day before yesterday I saw quite a few baviuses, while sage only released a rosette of leaves, you can't even see the peduncles yet )

Last year, Pan claimed that sagging sage blooms in April, and this year, despite the early spring, there are no flower stalks in the second half of the month - miracles. We also have some goluben golubyanochki flying, for the second week. I couldn't take a picture, though, because they don't want to land at all, so I can't say anything about the species.

17.04.2016 18:23, Hierophis

in April blooms,

In April, in April blooms odnaka, but if the north is cold uuuu, then maybe in May bloom umnik.gif

And isn't this year particularly "cold ooooo"? Or "uuuu" was selective on Nikolaev? We have this sage blooms steadily in the second decade of May, I would be very surprised if this year it happens differently. And scoliae maculae on it will be mandatory.

Today I watched the first thistles of the season, even a couple in love:

______2126.jpg

But the very landing of a unanimous landing force, which usually occurs in a heap, it seems that I missed this year. A lot of polychromatics, though I don't know which of the two, are not allowed close. There are very ragged anguloptera, dawns, and some other nondescript whiteflies. I also observed a small swallowtail. But polixenum is not visible, yesterday I specifically visited the cherished place. And on the balcony-here:

If anyone is interested.
23.04.16 on the road from Ochakov to Nikolaev along the estuary on all not plowed and abandoned fields en masse flies Euchloe ausonia. In one area of about 500x200 meters, hundreds of butterflies flew simultaneously. Moreover, there were almost no other whiteflies, all were replaced by Euchloe ausonia.

I wonder if they're still flying now.

10.05.2016 18:00, alex13-nik

For Wave Storm
, I don't know... I've never been to those places again. But due to the rains and relative cooling, the summer could be delayed. 29.04.16 was in the area of the village of Aleksandrovka, Kherson region, along the coast of the estuary was also quite a lot of Euchloe ausonia.
Although I wasn't looking for her, Zegris eupheme. I did not reach Stanislav, the weather began to deteriorate, a cold wind rose from the sea, and I turned back to Nikolaev.
What have you heard about Zegris eupheme in pisky, is there any information about this season?

I saw one butterfly on May 6 in the Crimea, at Cape Kazantip.

Well, I also met Ausonia on the estuary now - about it in a short report "and here's what I can say.

I may not know all the names of plants, but those that grow on the estuary are not much different from those found in our steppe gullies. There are some things that come across in our sands. Moreover, we will even have more variety in Balki. Therefore, I will try to look for a White Dawn closer to me.

There on the estuary, they really do not fly with Zorka vulgaris. There is simply no Dawn.

Now, in theory, there should be caterpillars of different hawk moth. Does someone come across something?

When I walk through the streets of the city, I look at the privet bushes from time to time. But so far there is no result.

In my experience, hawk moth caterpillars don't usually come across on their own. You need to search purposefully.

Well, I can afford to disagree with you. As I remember in 2014, my wife went to work in the morning and calls, says she found 6 large caterpillars on the asphalt. I took it to work and then brought it home. Mimas tiliae. I think the case when a strong wind shook the leaves but apparently this happens. And last month I personally found 3 hawkmoth Laothoe populi, 2 males and 1 female on the asphalt at 10 o'clock in the morning. I threw the males into the grass, but I took the female, I didn't have her. Sorry, I didn't put commas in particular, I write in a hurry.

So far only the caterpillars of the lilac hawk moth are shredding viburnum shuffle.gif

my lilacs are bursting

Oddly enough, I have never found it on lilac trees, but on viburnum - regularly. They eat what's left of the other leaf-nibs.

07.07.2018 11:55, okoem

Well, I can afford to disagree with you.

In my opinion, your only find in five years just confirms my words that they do not just come across.

Hello! This year in the European part of Russia is quite hot summer. In this connection, the question arose: has anyone caught imagos or found caterpillars of loach moth? I am primarily interested in the Middle Zone of Russia. smile.gif If you were so lucky, then please share the places where the caterpillars were found, and most importantly, the timing of the imago summer! Have you already flown or not yet?

29.08.2018 21:20, Василий пенза

On August 23, I caught 3 fresh males at night on sweet tobacco in my village. At the same time, the light is 0 (full moon). Last year I caught the same tobacco on 23.08 male and 23.08 female, so plant sweet tobacco in your dacha and next year you will be happy)

Where in the Kharkiv region can you find N. antiopa and at what time is it easiest to see them?

15.11.2018 14:30, Dakota

Friends, do you have any information about Cydia Pomonella? Sometimes it is called Codling Moth. This refers to the time of departure and the ultraviolet spectrum that attracts this individual. With its extremely high prevalence, I found almost nothing....
I would be grateful for any help.

How many years I have been fishing, but I have never met a mourner either in the steppe zone in Yenakiyevo or in the forest park zone of Kharkiv. frown.gif
The peacock's eye is observed in the forest regularly every year, and in the steppe zone only occurs in May and July.
Perelivnitsa A. ilia is quite common in our forest park.
I did not meet urticaria either in Yenakiyevo or in Kharkiv.
Hawthorns are common both in the forest zone and in the steppe.

At our dacha in Orenburg, they like to eat the fruits of overripe pears. And what is interesting-mourning women love overripe fruits that still hang on branches, on the tops of crowns. They usually feed in the morning from 9 to 12,later they are no longer there, probably because of the heat.We have it from August 11 to August 18. At this time, the heat is up to +30.

A question about early spring moths. Agriopis marginaria and Alsophila aescularia have been flying for the past week. Regarding these two species, do Phigalia pilosaria and Lycia pomonaria fly earlier, or is there still a chance to catch them?

I can't say for sure. But, as it seemed to me, Lycia pomonaria flies first, Phigalia pilosaria, Agriopis marginaria and Alsophila aescularia fly a little later. At least, I caught the first type only in the first days of March (they probably fly out in February, when I still don't light a candle), and the other three fly all March.

In the Moscow region, according to my observations, Lycia pomonaria flies first, then Alsophila aescularia, and the last of these four is Agriopis marginaria.
