The season of hunting for butterflies in the Moscow region has begun

And I flew a little at +7 ... although this weather is incomparable with last year's June heat...

At my dacha, at plus 7, it would also fly a little, but the dacha is located on peat bogs, i.e. in the lowlands where it is much colder than in Moscow. You had 7 and I had 0!

Good weather is promised for the weekend, I envy those who will catch at dachas. As usual this year, when the weather is good on weekends, I am busy to the brim and find myself in a jam.

In general, I hope to spend the whole next week fishing in the country. Maybe some rarities will arrive...

I'm going fishing next week near Tambov, I'm not going to catch fish all my strength on butterflies, although no one suggests that you can catch a rare day for MO there, so I'll catch everything that flies.

Tell me, where is it in Moscow? And this is not olenka, but Oxythyrea funesta

By any chance, this is not Kuzminsky Forest Park - a very similar lake chyut further
behind the shooting range.

I thought it was similar, too.

Any other versions?

Moose Island?

Molzhaninovo swamp? Lianozovo?

Zelenograd?

Not exactly Zelenograd.

Not exactly Zelenograd.

Definitely not Zelenograd. Submission is not yet part of the city's borders. I still consider Zelenograd a satellite city, not a part of Moscow.

Actually, Zelenograd is an administrative district of Moscow, and although it is located 20-25 km from the MKAD, it is Moscow.

I was today on business in the Gusevsky district, accidentally came across a population of Parnassius mnemosine. Tomorrow I'll go take pictures and do some fishing. In this regard, two questions:
1. What is the subspecies of Parnassius mnemosine in the Vladimir region?
2. Are there any lists of sailboats of the former USSR with subspecies and ranges on the Internet? I have a Korshunovsky from 1972. I think it's already hopelessly outdated.

Who needs Vladimir Parnassius mnemosine write, I will change to Karabus or Parnassius from other places.

Not quite true MO, but in the Ryazan region, 30 km from Ryazan, I found a population of Colias myrmidone Jaundice, I had not met it before. tell me how common is this species in the Moscow region?

Eastern Moscow region, Orekhovo-Zuyevsky, Shatursky, Yegoryevsky districts (this is where I saw it myself). Wherever Russian Broom grows. At my dacha in the Kasimov district of Ryazan. the area and the adjacent part of the Vladimir region - just plentiful in two generations. Look at the forum, last year colleagues often mentioned it.

Indeed, Colias myrmidone in the Vladimir region is a fairly common butterfly.

In the PTZ and its surroundings. In the vicinity of Beloomut. This is already the south, not the east of the region.

It is also noted in the Taldomsky district on the upper swamps (not on wet places, but on the dry outskirts of the swamp, i.e. where there is broom). This is already the north of the region.

Oh, optilet!

verkhovoe swamp in the north-east of the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region.

By any chance, not in the vicinity of Oz.A big one?

Singe!!!

Singe!!!

I heard that paleno and in Taldom occur (although I did not catch it myself), I think to check the information, But in general I think they can be seen on most sphagnum swamps, and it is desirable that the forage plant of the gorlubik grows.

I have peat bogs with blueberries everywhere at my dacha near Orekhovo, but I haven't seen a single singe there!!

There is also in the Taldomsky district, there is also in Sergiev Posad. Clearly in Meshchera there is - in the area of Shatura and Cherustey. Even in the r-not PTZ, as shown in the photo above. (there, by the way, still fly aquilonaris and optilete).
Spot habitats of the peatwort are scattered throughout the Moscow Region, some even quite close to Moscow. In any case, you need to know the places.
In 2005, I tried to collect them on the recommendation of Meldino (Savelovskaya dorogoa, Taldomsky district, before reaching Dubna). Apart from a plentiful population of V. optilete and one C. hero, nothing interesting was found, except for a good amount of G. alexis on the side of the road. It was then June 25.
There, near the Moscow Canal, you can find more than one swamp in the woods. There were plenty of blueberries, but the swamp was dry.
I know a guaranteed station near Vyshny Volochok, but this is more than 300 km along Leningradka. or by train to Leningradsky railway station. I want to get closer.

And here it is, after all, I found it in the Ryazan region, Kasimovsky district, P. Gus-Zhelezny. First I caught it at the intersection of forest roads (I flew out on a car), and then I found a swamp next to it. Top sphagnum swamp in the middle of a high-trunked pine forest, DENSE! overgrown with blueberries mixed with marsh rosemary. In the swamp itself, only V. optilete flies (in the mass), and the yolks - in the surrounding clearings look for a few jackets of flowers, since they have nothing to eat in the swamp itself. I'll post photos of the swamp if I get there again (the weather is getting worse). I saw another copy, but I didn't have time to catch it, it flew away. Unfortunately, it was after 5 pm with a significant haze (there was practically no sun).
What do you think, male or female?

Yes, of course, the male!!! White female ...

Yes, of course, the male!!! The female is white ...

Thank you. I have a male that is bright yellow-green. I haven't caught the female yet, but from the photos they are not quite white, but rather greenish-white. Poetomk and asked.

Eh! peatland yolk is absolutely fascinating!
To be honest, no butterfly has ever caused me such excitement when fishing as it is.
Question: Is it very common in the Middle Zone?

Unlikely, it is almost everywhere local, the typical location is Sweden.

In the Leningrad region, near Tosno, I observed up to a hundred specimens at one time.

And this one isn't very yellow either. At least the females are like that, too. In addition, the accuracy of the color display in the image is very important in this case, and who guarantees it?.. It is still safer to check the tail. At first glance, the abdomen is rather male, but only the genitals will give a full guarantee.
