Friends, please tell me when was the last time you came across this pryamoptera in M. O.? Here I somehow came across a hearth, apparently local, (9 km from MKAD to the east) specifically 12.08.2009.

in the south, southwest of MO-a banal view. Today in the Shatursky district-not observed in large numbers.

and in the PTZ on the weekend, I also observed a ratchet (Bryodema tuberculatum, or whatever it is)...

Ah, we have it in the Balashikha district. I saw it for the first time (Psophus stridulus comes across from time to time sometimes).

In July, in the Lukhovitsky district.
Last August - in Orekhovo-Zuyevsky.
Where there is open sand , there is a blue-winged filly.

Faq?
You're probably confusing it with firefly?

It was probably Psophus stridulus....ratchet seems to have disappeared in the Moscow region

yes, a characteristic creature with long red wings flew and crackled loudly, it was not possible to catch and get close frown.gif
So I'm not sure what exactly it is

Both types fit this description.

Sorry, I'll correct you. Bryodema tuberculata has pink wings at the base and it flies quite high (a few meters above the ground)-planning, and Psophus stridulus has bright red wings and it takes off (quite low)P.S. I'll post a photo of Psopphus stridulus soon (I just don't have a ratchet).

As promised, I post a photo of the crackling Firefly Psophus stridulus male and female (the female is on the right and it does not crack), and I last saw Bryodema tuberculata in Transbaikalia-60 km south of Chita.

I also want to post Locust migratoria for reference-in 2000 it reached the Moscow region (thank God only a few). All 3 species are caught in 9 km from the Moscow Ring Road. Many thanks to everyone for commenting on the Blue-winged filly-I really saw her for the first time here.

21.08.2009 9:36, PVOzerski

Locusts have already reached the Novgorod region - I wrote about this here last year. A blue-winged filly I found the year before last in the center of the Pskov region, in the Ostrovsky district - and not some stray individual, but in significant numbers (although in specific stations of clearly anthropogenic origin: abandoned agricultural land overgrown with pine, and on a clearing in a pine forest (in both cases - together with Myrmeleotettix maculatus, which behaves not as a hortobiont, but rather as a geophile), and in the second - also in the company of Psophus stridulus.

21.08.2009 9:45, vasiliy-feoktistov

Well, this one, just with Psophus stridulus, was in the same place, but in large numbers, apparently a brood. About locusts: They migrate along rivers, don't they? And Nizhny Novgorod is on the Volga, so that's not surprising. And here it's almost Moscow.

21.08.2009 9:51, PVOzerski

I would like to understand how it (locusts) brought to the Valdai upland... There is the only more or less large river nearby - the Msta, which is not connected with the Volga in any way...

21.08.2009 10:04, vasiliy-feoktistov

Yes, and here (in my region) Pekhorka, Bindweed, and Chernaya are small streams. Although it may be the Moskva River, but it is a long way away, and even then Moscow is a tributary of the Oka. So-what happens-is unusual. Still, in both cases it is too far to the north.

at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were two finds in Lakhta (now in St. Petersburg) with an interval of one year.

Serebryany Bor, last summer.
