A storm can bring a lot of butterflies.
And you can also post photos here, why complicate it?

I have 6 copies in my collection. Chilo and 9 Schoenobius. There will be a total of 15 images.
I've heard a lot about the transfer of butterflies over long distances by the winds. Do you think that F. cicatricella was also blown to Svetly Erik by the wind? This tract is a flood of water from the Kuma River in its lower reaches: shallow lakes, meadows and wetlands in the zone of sandy semi-desert. Therefore, there live different ecological groups of lepidoptera: from desert xerophiles to hygrophiles. And Scirpus lacustris-a forage plant of F. cicatricella grows there. IMHO, this is a rare butterfly, despite its rather extensive European range, so it has not been registered here for a long time. But again, this is all speculation.
So what? Upload photos?

Show me, it's interesting. But you can probably have several butterflies in one photo-it will be faster!

Yes, that's also true.

I also want to add that representatives of the genera of herbivores Chilo and Schoenobius are quite common in our country. And in late spring and the first half of summer, they often fly en masse to the light. So that night, when Friedlanderia suddenly started flying towards the light screen, I paid attention to their original color. Among the similar-shaped wings, but probably hairless, almost all were Chilo and Schoenobius. It is impossible, however, to exclude that hairless Friedlanderia could also fly up. But how was I supposed to know that there were such things, too? If there is a similar chance in the future, I will try to get a larger sample of similar ones to check this version.
Now it is important for me that I did not miss a rare herbage that is new for the Stavropol region. Thank you again for defining it.
