And from which one? Are there any feathery scoops?!
Kotbegemot, and please tell me, what kind of marigolds and hawk moth can be found in MO and where? (except for the ones I mentioned on page 22)

The antennae of male scoops are quite feathery - just look at the male Tholera decimalis above on this page

In Erebidae, the so-called quadrifinoid scoops were placed-they have a developed M2 vein on the hind wings, they are similar in this respect to some other noctuoids-volnyankami, dippers, nolids. In Noctuidae, this vein is reduced, and in this they are close to the crested ones.

Of the marigolds in the MO, almost all species are common, except for the forest-marsh L. petrovitana. Likaon tends to Oka and Meshchera. Apparently, the semele and tarpeia are extinct, but there is a small probability of finding their populations-in semele in the west of the region, in tarpeia-in the east (in Meshchera). Both live in dry pine forests. The status of M. russiae, known from two finds in the Shatursky and Serebryanoprudsky districts, is unclear.

All species of hawkmoth are also evenly distributed, except for P. proserpina and H. euphorbiae, which tend to the Moscow River. The latter is still to the Oka, and as a migrant is found everywhere. Proserpine, as a heat-loving species, is even more often found in Moscow itself than in the region.
The rarest migrant hawk moth is H. livornica.
