Craniophora pontica

Are these both Gelechias nigra? And then I called the first turpella in the heat of the moment, but what can she do in Pestovo without a poplar tree?

I offer to the attention of respected experts a few scoops taken in Krivoy Rog this season, and for a change, a couple of moths and a moth

Mamestra brassicae x2
Oligia sp.
Crassa unitella/tinctella
Cosmia diffinis
Spodoptera exigua
Dioryctria abietella
Abrostola triplasia
Stegania dilectaria
Cosmia affinis
Autographa gamma
Isturgia arenacearia
Lymantria dispar x2
Axylia putris
Sitochroa verticalis

G. nigra of course!

G. nigra of course!

Great, then I have photos of all ten of our species, unless of course there is something exclusive not from the catalog)

Idaea ochrata or Idaea rufaria?
Especially the second one is confusing...
1 - Kaluga region, Dvortsy village, 15.07.16;
2-Vladimir region, Vyaznikovsky district, 24.07.16.

Upper two Erebia ligea, lower euryale? Southern Urals, okr. Upper Ufaley. 2.07.16

Look at the butterflies in the clearing. In males, ligea has an androconial spot on the forewing, while Euryala does not. I can tell them apart right in the woods when I catch them. With females it is more difficult, but here the eye should be marked, slightly different underwear, euryale has a lighter color.

Heliothis viriplaca?

Thank you so much for your qualified help!
A special intrigue for me was represented by a non-partner. I was looking for it among the ribbon boxes, although I suspected that something was wrong)
Positions 6 and 7 show the same butterfly, namely Spodoptera exigua. It's a pity that the "edit" option didn't work, and I couldn't make any clarifications and additions.
I kept the autograph scale as such, but it turned out too effectively, and there are a lot of them that are very similar, but they are classified as different types, which are more like different color variations. In general, you gave me great pleasure)) All the best, good luck!

Good evening to all! Please tell me the specific names of the presented butterflies. I've been trying to figure it out in a hurry, but I'm not sure that everything turned out right.

Isn't this the usual clavipalpis? It is unlikely that there is anyone in Pestovo besides her and petraea, but still, when clavipalpis flies, you usually see more than 1 of them in a few nights...

Hello dear Ilya! If I understand correctly, you gave a partial response to my last request. The scoop from the 2nd photo was identified as Caradrina clavipalpis. Thank you for your attention. However, I still have my doubts. I am sending you a joint photo of 2 copies. Caradrina clavipalpis from its collection, identified by A.V. Sviridov (Moscow State University Zoomuseum) and a designated specimen. The difference is significant in the size, pattern, and color of the wings, especially the lower ones. Is this intraspecific variability? By the way, in our Stavropol territory Caradrina clavipalpis is also common, and often even mass-produced. But somehow I did not observe such intraspecific variations. In my opinion, this specimen even looks like Cirrhia ocelaris, but not her. So who is it? Can we come to the truth together? Don't be offended, I am ready to continue business contact.

There are two Caradrina on top, in Stavropol there may be more than problems with them, but since Sviridov defined it, he is probably right. And from the bottom there is an unmistakable suspecta.

Thank you Ilya! And what conclusion can you make for the other two butterflies: the metal-shaped scoop and the firefly (if this is the only one)?

They came together well - one white one, I know for sure. South of the Br. region, July. Thanks a lot

Upper chessboard Melitaea didyma

Thank you Ilya! And what conclusion can you make for the other two butterflies: the metal-shaped scoop and the firefly (if this is the only one)?

The mealloid is correct, it's just flawed, and the Aglossa is too broken and even straightened out, I won't dare to define it.

Please tell me the specific names of the presented butterflies.

Firefly, IMHO-Aglossa asiatica Erschoff, 1872.
pinguinalis has a slightly different pattern, more rounded wings, their overall background is darker. And these two species differ well in size - asiatica is much smaller.

Help with the pigeons! In the center of eumedon, and at the edges of who? All in one day from one clearing on June 26

Help with the pigeons! In the center of eumedon, and at the edges of who?

eumedon

Two broken butterflies from Pestovo. The first one is probably Protolampra sobrina, judging by the remnants of spots, a dark stripe and strokes on the leading edge. But the second Depressaria is generally unclear, especially if these reddish triangles at the base of the wing are not scuffs.

What's that for?

Tell me, please, what kind of scoop. Moscow region, July 31.

M. O.,

1-I can't think of anything other than virgaureata
2-Euxoa nigricans

1-I can't think of anything but
virgaureata 2-Euxoa nigricans

virgaureata I have now also flies,
but about Euxoa-do not you mind the continuous line at the outer edge? Couldn't find photos of nigricans with it, maybe it's more typical of eruta or adumbrata?

You're probably right, but it's unlikely Eruta. And if the size is around 40mm, then exactly adumbrata

Help, please, to deal with these bulavousy:

2 - Polyommatus thersites?

3-Phengaris, which one?
(one copy - top and bottom)
