From July 11 to 18, I was in South Korea, Gyoengsangnam-do province, Changwon City, Changwon University territory. I collected mainly on lamps in the territory, of which there were quite a few. Diaries are almost absent from the collections, and not because they are not enough, but because they are fast and there was no time) After all, I went there for a reason, but for show-offs:

There is a lot of material, but most of it is not defined, so I need your help, I will number all the photos, please write the number and name if you can determine it. I collected almost exclusively butterflies (in total, about 150 species), and also collected 7 beetles. I will try to post everything during the day, as tomorrow I will leave for a much more boring Odintsovo district of the Moscow region. But first, a few general impressions about the trip.

The fact that the country is better off than Russia, I think, is clear) The contrast was especially noticeable when returning to Sheremetyevo, if you compare the time spent waiting in line for check-in there and at Incheon Airport. What is striking is the almost complete absence of garbage on the streets, BUT almost-perhaps it seemed to me, but for some reason throwing cigarettes on the sidewalk is not considered indecent. The weather was mostly cloudy or rainy, no lower than 20 at night and no higher than 30 during the day. Once there was a real cyclone with strong winds, plus another flight was delayed. The roads in Korea (at least on the southern coast) are very good, at least four lanes, many bridges and tunnels-but almost all of them are paid. The local mountains are low, overgrown with forest, and there are not too many bare stone areas. In my opinion, the mountains are greatly disfigured by numerous power lines.

By the way, it is often noticeable how low the rain clouds hang here:

A couple of photos from the dinosaur park - in fact, only a few tracks were found here, and then a tourist attraction was promoted.

Ginkgo-often used for street gardening, but not in the wild.

I wasn't the only entomologist at the Olympics - a couple of other people collected beetles, but not actively. So they paid attention mainly to me, even helped me collect some things. By the way, only here do you understand the great power of Latin - for example, when I catch a cicada, people ask me: "What is it, a moth?" The answer is "cicada" - they don't understand. I say "Homoptera" and everything is immediately clear.

Now the butterflies. Diaries, as I have already said, were scarce. I missed some healthy, sluggish (but high) flying red-haired fool-it must have been Danaida. Also, large black sailboats, probably Atrophaneura, were flying fast around the city, but they were too fast. Therefore, I got mostly more or less close relatives of our diaries.
