Leatherworm-no doubt Anthrenus sp. (A. museorum?)

The third image is a hawk moth called Macroglossum stellatarum.

Thank you. Lepidoptera can't be Abraxas grossulariata?

Thank you. Lepidoptera can't be Abraxas grossulariata?

Well, I wasn't there personally, but judging by the photos from the place, it's a pine forest. Gardening is 3 km away. there is, so anything can get knocked up.

I'm confused by how the subject's wings are folded. Can moth do that? Usually you see them with their wings spread out.

This is stopudovo Abraxas sylvata!

This is not a scoop, but a scoop-shaped ocular (Tethea ocularis).

13.07.2006 18:35, sealor

Thanks! Oh, there were so many scoops that I completely forgot that there are also scoops.. Everyone has decided except for this smile.gifone, this one will be the first on the list. Sovkovidki is now a subfamily of the former family of sicklewings.

Well, the dragonfly is difficult, I take it? wink.gif

And here is another pigeon for warming up. This time from the Karelian Isthmus.

Very interesting ognevka. It seems to be the genus Parapoynx, but P. nivalis and P. stratiotata are listed from it for European Russia. Both aren't quite like that. Maybe a dark specimen of P. stratiotata?

It is also possible that this is some kind of drift.

So, the dragonfly from the top of this page, about which everyone chose to modestly keep silent, apparently Calopteryx maculata.
They sent me another photo of a wasp from Arizona, but I don't publish it anymore.

I hope the butterflies of the Karelian Isthmus are a little better. smile.gif

This is Peribatodes rhomboidaria or a similar species.
There are several other similar types, but I'm not an expert here.

Great specimens! The first one seems to be really Rivetina, judging by the pictures on the network. But who is the second, I can't imagine.

It is very interesting if rivetina: I have never seen any references to her for Russia before. And the other is a nymph. I had a nymph named Mantis religiosa-very similar!

to Dracus
Is it possible to determine the species of pigeons from scans of the underside?

kotbegemot determined the gold coins correctly.
About the third picture. This is clearly not pylaon, but someone from the subgenus Polyommatus (s. str). If the top is shiny blue (up to light blue) and with a dark border (from 1 to 3 mm), then this is P. eroides (Turkish subspecies), if otherwise - you need to look at the sexual apparatus.

24.07.2006 12:42, bora

Explanation of the definition as Polyommatus:
1. There is a basal spot on the underside of the forewings (discarded by pylaon)
2. On the underside of the forewings, orange submarginal wells (discarded Polyommatus (subgen. Sublysandra) cornelia))/
3. On the underside of the hind wings, a clear white field (smear) is an addition to the Polyommatus image.

American white butterfly (Hyphantria cunea), fam. Dippers (Arctiidae).
Seriously harms fruit trees and shrubs, subject to internal quarantine.

Thank you very much! I had a hunch about the American butterfly, but I wasn't so sure.

31.07.2006 15:38, unicum

Good afternoon! Help me identify it! The butterflies are old (from the collections of Mr. M. M. Mestergazi of the 20s of the last century), but the drawing seems to be still preserved. Butterfly 01 is the size of Pergesa porcellus (by the way, I do not exclude that this is it), 02 - with P. elpenor. Thank you in advance and my apologies to the moderator.

First hawk moth - Deilephila ascoldensis
second-Callambulyx tatarinovi

01.08.2006 10:58, unicum

Thank you very much! Can I say a few words about the biology of these species?

01.08.2006 21:15, Pavel Morozov

Here's a quick summary.
We
have Deilephila ascoldensis in the Khbarovsky and Primorsky territories. It lives in mixed and deciduous forests with a predominance of Mongolian oak. Forage plant of caterpillars is Amur grape (Vitis amurensis). Years in July-August. Common. Willingly flies to the light. To tell you the truth, I myself only flew in from Primorye the day before yesterday and caught a few of these hawkmoths there.

Callambulyx tatarinovi
is distributed in our country from Transbaikalia to the south of Primorye. It lives in China, Korea, and Taiwan.
It lives in mixed and deciduous forests. Years from June to August. In the north-west of the range, there is a gray-brown form (nominal-bright green, if the butterfly has not faded). The caterpillar feeds on the elms. In some places, it is polynomial.
