A year ago, I saw her again in Zheleznodorozhny, near Beloomut and in the Vladimir region. And this year, in addition to the Railway and Vladimir region. (Old Omutischi where I go) she appeared in a good number and in Moscow (at work they fly to the light). And what you just noticed confused.gifis amazing.........

The note is written completely illiterate or opportunistic. The nun lives here and much further north from time immemorial. In different years, there are strong fluctuations in the number of butterflies. A lot of butterflies means there were few parasites of caterpillars. The latter mainly eat pine, less often spruce, and in some places (where there are few conifers) oak. I have never personally seen them on other trees. No tree has ever died from such overeating. Instead of the eaten phytomass, a new one grows rapidly, sometimes more than the eaten one, which increases the intensity of photosynthesis.
But some people have a reason to cut down supposedly " infected forests and sell mountains of good wood. This is also what some large protected areas "trade"in.

Absolutely right!
But such opportunistic "ecologists" are taught in both our and non-our vaunted universities. In the case of "teachers" burdened with degrees, an insect has bitten off the edge of a leaf - and already a "pest". Not to mention those who "spoil" commercial timber, which is thrown mismanagingly in the forest, and after half a year they cry that it has rotted.
Take the ZIN anti-scientific reference book "Insects and mites..." - there even weed consults that naturally shy away from cultivated vegetation are recorded as "pests".
And the fact that such a grief-stricken"teacher" himself teaches to destroy and personally destroys and messes up nature - they modestly keep quiet.

Yes, the nun has already been flying in the Moscow region for a month. There really is a lot of it this year. It even comes across on Kutuzovsky Prospekt (near Kutuzovskaya metro station)
The same thing this season, I think, and with willow volnyankoy

yes.gif And an unpaired silkworm should be added here. Males on the balcony to my rod on a par with the nun: in the mass.
