I think that you will be able to catch cabbage and hives!

In Tuapse itself, as well as on almost the entire cultivated coast, interesting butterflies are not easy to find. In the mountains fly all sorts-depending on when... Typical southern fauna. True, the mountainous environs of Tuapse have recently been very heavily cut down by the Greeks and Italians with our rukmi - the chestnut forests have almost been reduced frown.gif.

Let's write geographical names CORRECTLY!

I apologize, I was in a hurry.

What month are you going?

At the end of June there are oak hawks. In August, there is a fine moth Phassus schamyl, a lot of oak cocoonworms, a lot of Limenitis reducta, if you take a good look somewhere for xerophilic associations within a radius of 2 km from the seashore in the second half of August, you can catch a pigeon Lysandra melamarina.

Between Gelendzhik and Tuapse (closer still to Gelendzhik) there is such a village Krinitsa. That's where the melamarines definitely fly. Right in the village. And a lot.

Lysandra melamarina flies from June to the end of September in meadows in Divnomorsk, Betta and many other places up to Lazarevskoye. I just didn't see it further south, but it should be.

02.06.2006 19:33, Tyomochkin

I'll be there on June 1.

02.06.2006 20:42, Pavel Morozov

There is also a point in the Lermontovo area, right next to the Shapsuho River.

If in early June, then there is a chance to catch Allancastria caucasica.

05.06.2006 15:06, Helene

I'll be there on June 1.

It's too early for melamarines. They are August.

Melamarines are not only August ones. Years of the first generation definitely begins no later than the end of June (I personally caught in Divnomorsk from June 27 and were already very grated).

I wonder if I didn't know... Do the generations look different? Are they equally common, or is the first generation relatively small?

05.06.2006 16:06, str

In principle, there are few differences. In the August-September species, small individuals are found (up to 12 mm in length of the forewing) and there are darker purple upper wings (1 to 5). The number of the first generation is decent, especially if you know the places. I saw up to 2 dozens of them on 1 ha. Maybe, of course, I've met some specimens twice or thrice. I'm not a fan of mass catching of insects, so I can't give you exact statistics, but they fly fast.

Well, actually, when there is a quantitative difference between generations - so it really is: to notice, you don't need to catch and count. That is, in the spring there are single specimens, and in the second half of summer - the mass. Or vice versa.

Here's what's interesting: I have an atlas identifying European butterfly species, and Tuapse turns out to be the Caucasus confused.gif! I'm afraid there will be a problem with determining the catch!

Well, that's the end of the rest. In general, here's what I want to say: the butterflies there are the same as in Europe. Caught some hawkmoth, nymphalids, and a dustpan! In the Tuapse region, I observed a MASS capture of Papilio machaon! A group of tourists consisting of about 40 people caught about 120 huge swallowtails!

17.07.2006 9:32, Tigran Oganesov

And what kind of tourists, from where?

17.07.2006 10:34, Tyomochkin

From the north of otkudoto! When asked why you catch it, because there is a butterfly in the red book, they rudely answered: "Because!" And then they accuse Russian collectors who will get two swallowtails! In Russia, swallowtails disappear, Russians are blamed, But we are not to blame!
P. S Well, we are also guilty! smile.gif

Something I didn't quite understand - tourists from the foreign North? What guilty Russians are we talking about?

17.07.2006 16:24, Tyomochkin

Tourists live in some cold countries, this is all that I understood from their incomprehensible speech (with an accent in general). And recently, Russian collectors were blamed for a sharp drop in the number of swallowtails. BUT the charges were not official. I don't remember exactly who blamed you!

17.07.2006 16:39, Nilson

Yes, that's nonsense! IMHO, P. machaon is not a species whose numbers (on a regional scale) can be threatened only by trapping, reasonable trapping, of course.
