Winter started in the middle of this November,so it will end in mid-February.
We also have a more continental climate in Tsimlyansk than in Galitsinovka.Where the climate is more continental,summers are hotter and drier, and winters are colder.And in Galitsinovka, the climate is milder and warmer,i.e. winters are milder and warmer there, and summers are slightly colder than in our country.This is because the climate depends on the proximity to the ocean.Galitsinovka is located closer to the ocean than Tsimlyansk,so they have warmer and milder winters in Galitsinovka,and colder summers than in our country.Our summers are hotter and winters colder than in Galitsinovka.
We have -2

-10 degrees of frost. Snow fell about 10 cm and continues to fall.
The only strange thing is that just yesterday in a snowfall at subzero temperatures (I don't know how much, a few degrees) mosquitoes flew!! This is the first time I've seen such a miracle. Komarik was definitely not an isolated one and there were no heated buildings nearby.

December and the year ends. The year is very difficult, but in terms of temperature is very good, and sometimes even good! The snow didn't fall properly. I used to go for fir or pine branches in the forest, the snow was above my knees. Now the snow is about 20 cm. Not enough catastrophically. But there is no frost, -21 was in the limit. The snow applied to the greenhouse has almost completely melted. The sun peeked out no more than a couple of times during peak frost and that was enough.
I hope next year will be even more abnormally warm!

Our temperatures were around zero all the time.Today it is +4 degrees Celsius.

Happy spring to all of you!
It's very warm here.
It turns around zero, yesterday it was half a day +2.
A lot of snow, constantly falling.
The sun doesn't come out.
Soon to plant seedlings. We survived another winter.

Winter has prepared a surprise in the form of -25. But in the forecast, the thaw will soon reach +3.

Greetings, Alex.)) It was quite warm and sunny in February, streams flowed, everything melted, but now in early March it has become colder again. Today, the truth is only +2, it's snowing. Albifrons has grown up, there is still 2e caudat, the second one appeared this morning.
Do you hold anyone now? Stick insects and leafhoppers like you had...

It's warm today.The thermometer shows +19,but it should actually be +10

Today we have a forecast of up to +2 and rain with snow, in reality about zero and snow is falling, which is already very much, we are drowning in it.
The leaf-eater lived to this age and died, suddenly refused to eat. The rest died at an even younger age. I fed her blackberries, because the oak was constantly covered with powdery mildew, nothing helped from it. Octal leafhoppers died at a small age: some due to refusal of food, others from powdery mildew. I didn't buy any more, because I couldn't get rid of powdery mildew on the oaks, and they didn't really like the taste of blackberries.
Anam stick insects were distributed because of their fecundity and voracity. I can't feed such a horde for six months. After I gave them away, I probably kept finding them on plants at home for another year.

The real spring has come!
I found a floating beetle near the Gatchina-Baltiyskaya railway station.

NIKITA, haven't you been to the fields yet? Who have you got out of the insects already?

We have +15, various butterflies fly, a mother-and-stepmother begins to appear. Frost in the morning.

In our fields,where cows walk,in the manure of kaloedi and aphodia often come across.Today I found a huge beetle T-shirt green-bronze color.Yesterday on the side of the rails on the railway found a large weevil.The temperature is about +25.Soon I'll go to the pastures near the pits and try to find copra and dung beetles.And I still haven't found any floating beetles.

And I was born yesterday with a huge floater, but with a marriage, a piece of the elytra was torn off. In general, we have almost summer, in the afternoon for 25, even what should fly at the end of April is already flying: swallowtails, all whiteflies, including cabbage. Full screen at night.

We had a thunderstorm yesterday

It was hot in the second half of April, up to +20. The grasshoppers hatched earlier than usual, around the early 20s of April. 27.04 I caught 4 verrucivores, saw Roselle's jumps( just microscopic at the first stage)), on May 1 I found kantans.
Today I was going to go to the far field to check on the grasshoppers, but suddenly it got colder, even snowing. It's +8 right now, cloudy.

We have +30, then +3.

The heat wave has come again, the sun is now more + 30.

Winter is upon us! Already now it is felt cold in gusts of wind, and on sl. Monday Tuesday afternoon it can be ok +20 and at trom ok +12, and this is in the south of Ukraine!

And this is everywhere at the end of June it got colder. In Moscow, it was recently +10. It's raining in St. Petersburg, 15-18 degrees.

And what is this scolia in the second photo?

And here is such a scolia
Okodemic scientists should know

Nikita, do you still have maggots? Who's that for me, not parasinema tricolor? I'm not a scientist, so I don't have to know ))

I didn't expect any other answer.

No, well, I didn't know what kind of scolias they were, or rather I guessed it, but there are also wonderful publications on the scolias of Ukraine that should always be close by
Well, in general, that scolia, this is half of this scolia)

I do not know a comprehensive publication on the scolias of Ukraine, only on the scolias of the Crimea. But I didn't find exactly one there. But I've just found it in na Molbiol. I did not think that galbula can be so variable in color, we have only seen females with a pure yellow head. And if it's her, then the key to Carcharoth is wrong.

And we have a yellow head here, and one like that. But what there are" we " scolias galbula with a yellow head, we probably will not see, except that only until the megacamera with megaobjective will not appear )))
Well, I would be very surprised if the "key of Carcharoth" was based on the color of the head of scolias, because the color of scolias is generally quite variable. Yes, and with whom this scolia can be confused, I can't even imagine, such a color is still not observed in females of hirta, and in males even more so

And in general, scolias, scolias.. In

I only saw galbula in the floodplain of the Seversky Donets (almost a forest zone). Lift the blockade, withdraw the troops, then I'll go and take a picture. But I remember that it exactly matched the photo in Carcharot's article, unlike Panova's. In addition to hirta, there are other similar scolias, for example, fuciformis. In their males, just the "shoulders" are always yellow. But Galbula is more often black, judging by the pictures from the network. In Carcharoth's key for male galbula, it says "Wings are single-colored, ranging from yellowish to dark gray. Crown behind the eyes with a solid transverse yellow band", and for females - " The head is completely yellow. The wings are monocolored, dark", so either it is still wrong, or Pan is not galbul.

The weather this summer was the ugliest. Constant rain, drowned everything. In the garden, strawberries rotted in the open ground. It's fine in the greenhouse. Liitrov 5 probably collected in the greenhouse and about the same amount on the street.
Despite the rain, it was warm, about 20-25°C.
Usually, when it rains, our temperature drops to 10-15°, and this year-oddities, tropical weather feels like. And the intensity of rain as in the tropics. Until yesterday, the garden had water up to 20 cm, yesterday it was reduced to 10 cm, because it was sunny all day. Weeds are rampant, and there is nothing to do but clean them up. Yes, and they are inconvenient to clean in the water. Everything is overgrown.
The only thing that started a lot - blackthorn.
Raspberries are there, but very sour. I don't know which is sourer. Tomatoes in the greenhouse partially rotted from plazhnost, and many rotted completely (plants, not fruits). Cucumbers began to grow, but excessive humidity, and as a result - mold. People did not open greenhouses, they did not go to the gardens for weeks, because it was impossible to get there and there was no special need.
There's water in the furrows in the potato fields, and it looks like there won't be any potatoes.
The price of tomatoes starts from 100 rubles per kilo.
According to the forecast, the break in heavy rains will not last long, and it will start again in the opening day.
The humidity is so high that rubber boots do not dry, but become covered with mold, so you had to go barefoot or in slates.
The problem is that things also do not dry out, but become moldy, and what to do with towels and wiping rags is not clear at all.
