Identification of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

A colleague came from a cruise on the Volga.
In the area of Kazan, all coniferous trees are covered with cobwebs and brought from there such a fire pit

Or is it a meadow moth and, accordingly, has nothing to do with damage to conifers?

I'm not an expert, but I dare say that this is Loxostege sticticalis. This decade in Moldova is a massive year, it is possible that not only we

On your photos there is not a single fire-only pigeons and one satyr.

Please help me identify up to a species of scoops of the genus Chersotis collected on 6.08.2022 in the mountain resort of Rosa Khutor in the Krasnodar Territory at an altitude of 2500 m.
Blackie - Erebia iranica?

Good afternoon! Attached a file with the available Catocala nupta (Linnaeus, 1767). But the one that arrived on September 1 is not very similar to them. I will be grateful for your help.

Good afternoon. Nothing like your katokala is known. There are two options: either such a mutant nupta or something new, not described. To count on the second option, you need to catch at least one more instance of this method. Or do a DNA or genitals test. I had a similar situation with the Central Asian catocala neglekta. One copy was completely different from the standard ones. They made the DNA-it turned out to be an ordinary non-infection. But in any case-you need to check.

Pseudopanthera macularia?

Yes, it is!

Thank you for your help in identifying it!
I was right to doubt chernushka. I have a series of strawberries from Dagestan, so I look at this other one, but I was confused by the fact that Erebia graucasica is not listed for the Caucasus on the website butterflies of the Caucasus.
But I think there are two different types of scoops.

Tell me about the scoops please! Karelia, August

Good evening!
About Erebia graucasica. I do not doubt the competence of the author of the website "Butterflies of the Caucasus" Valentin Tikhonov. However, the non-recognition of this taxon is his personal point of view. He may have already reviewed it. The official position of Russian entomology on the specific and subspecific taxa of lepidoptera living on the territory of our country is currently presented in the 2nd edition of the Catalog of Lepidoptera of Russia (2019), edited by S. Yu. Sinev. E. graucasica is listed here in the systematic list under number 7762. Marked only in the 13th region.
Morphological differences between E. graucasica and E. iranica can be found in the diagnostic keys of the determinant Lvovsky A. L. and Morgun D. V. "Bulavous lepidoptera of Eastern Europe".
About Chersotis. You're right! Your images show two species: Chersotis luperinoides (Catalog # 12488) in the sp1 jpg, and C. tshetverikovi (Catalog # 12498) in the sp2 jpg, which is endemic to the Caucasus. Representatives of the first type, as a rule, are noticeably larger than the second. But it's not very visible in the photo. Good luck!

Not only you, we have this infection also frolics well, and in the second half of August, especially near potato fields, it suppresses all other species with its number on the screen.

Please help me with the definition.
Is it Acronicta leporina or Acronicta vulpina?
Acronicta vulpina is not listed for the South Ural region, so most likely Acronicta leporina, but it is too gray.

This "personal point of view" is based on a recent study, where Valentin is one of the authors.

Tell me, what kind of scoop? I assumed that Helicoverpa armigera, but I was told that they do not have in our region.

Yes, this is a Helicoverpa armigera. In the Moscow region, it is very common, and obviously in the Tver region there is.

Tell me, what kind of scoop? I assumed that Helicoverpa armigera, but I was told that they do not have in our region.

Well, how can you not have them?!!! If we have them almost flying in flocks. And you'll be a little more comfortable.

Tell me, what kind of scoop? I assumed that Helicoverpa armigera, but I was told that they do not have in our region.

Yes, H. armigera is one of the most actively spreading species to the north, and in recent years it has also been found in the Leningrad region.
