Identification of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

Ognevki. Moths and other scoops (there are now more of them than moths) will be posted in a week with replenishment from the Pskov region.
1.Moscow. Catoptria pinella?
2.Moscow.
3.Evergestis extimalis?
4.
5.
6.I don't think it's a firefly, but it's a very strange creature.
7.Nymphula nitidulata?
8.Is this the only Pyralidae in the message?

Ognevki. Moths and other scoops (there are now more of them than moths) will be posted in a week with replenishment from the Pskov region.

1, 3, 7-yes.

2 - Udea prunalis
4 - Scoparia ?ambigualis
5 - Eudonia lacustrata
6 - Epiblema foenella
8 - Nyctegretis lineana

11 - I don't know.

In my opinion Ectropis crepuscularia.

 
3-like, Z. lonicerae

Not... it doesn't look like it. Judging by the fact that the red belt is visible (in the" distant " butterfly), it should be Zygaena cynarae, but... it is not given for the MO... Although I can assume that viciae can also sometimes be with a belt. So IMHO, libu cynarae, or viciae.

5, 6 - in my opinion, whether both N. aerugula

IMHO, both are aerugula.

#3-Sorry, I'm not a collector, but an amateur photographer. What am I going to do with it?

Dear bials, it is not always possible to correctly identify a butterfly from a photo. Even experts viewing this forum make mistakes in identifying photos of complex views. If you are interested in 100% correct definitions, and not guessing, then you should definitely collect butterflies after taking photos. Take the time to read Maxim Klepikov's excellent article -

Tell me, please, what kind of scoop

Pyrrhia umbra

I took a closer look - and indeed!

If there is a red belt there, then this is such a Z. ephialtes!

Nope! The" near " butterfly of the girdle does not have, in addition, the ephialtic spots are clear, but here they are "smeared", and also - in ephialtic the third spot is located close to the costal edge, but here it is distant. In addition, the other day he collected almost the same female viciae (cynarae!?) with a belt, though very weakly expressed.

Hello. Please tell me the name of the butterfly (mountain region USA, June, 2008)

Having fun with green moths (Morozzz, ow!) There is absolutely no time to climb the reference books yourself right now... All from Ryazan region, Kasimovsky district, two previous nights, banal Geometra papilionaria omitted. I immediately warn you about possible questions - all the colors are natural, I only shot butterflies, but I didn't catch them.

Thetidia ?smaragdaria (590)
Hemithea ?aestivaria (550)
??? (589)
??? (630)

Let's move on. Scoop(Noctua ?fimbriata 662), dipper (Spilosoma ?lutea 576), tufts (607, 588, 581) Marked-correct? The others?

Tell me what kind of animal!!! perhaps this is just a female M. neustria... Or maybe not, I found her last week in a cocoon state in the Baksan Gorge near Tyrnauz. thank you in advance. Fogs.

Well, let's get started!
Here are the herbaceous plants that have not yet been identified:

Both -- Agriphila inquinatella.

Having fun with green moths

1, 2 - Hemithea aestivaria
3 - Thetidia smaragdaria
4 - Pseudoterpna pruinata

Let's move on. Scoop(Noctua ?fimbriata 662), dipper (Spilosoma ?lutea 576), tufts (607, 588, 581) Marked-correct? The others?

The first two are correct.
3 - I don't know.
4 - Notodonta dromedarius
5 - Furcula bifida

3 - I don't know.

Notodonta torva

1,2 - Thalera fimbrialis
3 - Thetidia smaragdaria
4 - Pseudoterpna pruinata, по-моему

1,2 - Thalera fimbrialis

I agree.

Hello!
Please help me determine the type of motley bird.
I was given two variants of Procris statices and Jordanita globulariae.... I don't have any qualifiers , and it's impossible to determine 100% from the photos in the Internet... But it seems more like Jordanita globulariae (Adscita globulariae)

Taken in Israel, April 2008

I don't see the picture (the site is hanging) - but what kind of literate person gave you such a choice?
In Israel, Jordanita syriaca, J. anatolica, and Adscita obscura are known from green mottles [Efetov and Tarmann, 1999] .

In Israel, Jordanita syriaca, J. anatolica, and Adscita obscura are known from green mottles (Efetov and Tarmann, 1999).

In Israel, there are only THREE species of green mottles?! I never would have thought it!
According to the whiskers and the shape of the wings, this is more likely Adscita sp., so apparently Adscita obscura. But this is only speculative, of course.

Here's a guess, eh! This is if nothing new has been caught there since 1999. But Crimea is simply phenomenally rich in them, of course.
By the way, I still don't see the picture...

in my opinion, neustria is.

I duplicate the image. I never thought that Crimea is rich. I thought there was a lot of this stuff in all the southern regions.

I already outweighed the original image

I read Klepikov's article on your recommendation, thank you!
About guessing. If one or another butterfly cannot be distinguished from a similar one in the photo (but only by dissecting it) and both of them meet at the place of shooting, then what difference does it make to me which butterfly it is? Say either-or.
About the article:
quote - And such bright and spectacular butterflies as perelivnitsa (Apatura ilia Schiff.), mourner (Vanessa antiopa L.) or poplar ribbon (Limenitis populi L.) you will not see on the flowers at all - they feed on fermenting sap flowing from wounds on tree trunks, or liquid rotting organic matter (manure or decomposing animal corpses), and also enjoy sucking wet roadside mud. So a photo of such a butterfly on a flower will be a blatant forgery, which can only cause irritation to a specialist. (end of quote)
As recently as July 19, 2008, I photographed a female Limenitis populi L. on an umbrella flower, where she was enthusiastically sucking nectar. If you are interested, I can provide a photo (and more than one).
So the article is also not unambiguous.

As recently as July 19, 2008, I photographed a female Limenitis populi L. on an umbrella flower, where she was enthusiastically sucking nectar.

There is such a thing, I also met a female poplar ribbon on the inflorescence of a hogweed.

For some there is no difference, for some there is. Or there may be a situation where you come across something atypical for the shooting location, but out of habit it will be determined as a banal view. For me, when I started, there was also no difference, but now there is. So now some old images have to be discarded, because it is no longer possible to accurately identify them.

At the expense of the behavior of butterflies, M. Klepikov described the general typical behavior. But individual instances can sometimes indeed behave in a non-standard way.

By the way, I still don't see the picture...

I can give you a separate link if it doesn't open in any other way... http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/2549/bluemoth01bpm4.jpg

4 probably Euplexia lucipara. The photo is a fig tree...

To NakaRB: great photos, what did you shoot?

 
14. Eilema sororcula?

I think it's Eilema lutarella...

thanks ). снимаю Canon powershot s3 is + Raynox DCR-250. without flash and tripod

kotbegemot, and now, after the image has been restored, can you clarify the appearance of my pestryanka? Is this still Adscita obscura?

Thank you in advance, and I apologize if I seem too persistent

Yes, this is such a group - that there it is necessary to cook their genitals. And" in person " only then know. They all look like this

I can only give you this hint: in A. obscura, the caterpillars feed on sunflower (Helianthemum spp.), and in J. anatolica-mordovian (Echinops spp.). In J. syriaca, the caterpillars are unknown-but in close species they develop on all sorts of thistles-bodyaks-cornflowers.

Then the method of exclusion turns out that this is J. syriaca. Because on that site CENTAUREA PROCURRENS (Cornflower fluffy) is growing with might and main, and there were no other plants mentioned by you there nearby
