Saying goodbye to 2014

Vasily, yes, this boneberry is quite a common plant in your and higher latitudes, but here it is a rare exception and a " reason for kk "

We have a lot of it Even near Moscow I don't really like it in terms of gastronomy: one bone and sour (It's even strange that you don't have enough of it

Viktor Dmitrievich, what do you want for the correct answer? infa / bug from our places?

Well, I'm not doing it for money, I'm doing it for the soul... But if you insist, a bug would certainly be preferable...

I don't really like it in terms of gastronomy: one stone and sour meat

That's how the tastes may not match - and I'll never get around the boneyard in the forest-it's refreshing...

  
after all these joys that came across on the weekend, I was waiting for a routine..

Very familiar "rag"...Immediately prof. question : is there also a rake on the bottom of the flag?

  
Very pleased golubyanochk: bellargus, Osiris, anteros and another yet unidentified

Come on, this unidentified girl, we'll identify her, my dear.

Very familiar "rag"...Immediately prof. question : is there also a rake on the bottom of the flag?

of course, I'm thinking of improving the design (if our offices are not closed from the new year) with a piece of rebar, and then at the slightest wind it takes off like a kite: 0

Come on, this unidentified girl, we'll identify her, my dear.

to be more precise, there are not one, but several incomprehensible ones=I couldn't remember in the field, and the fauna is relatively new to me. Valentine, I hope I can handle it myself, but if there are any difficulties, I will definitely bring it to the public, especially since I have already promised you a list of daytime ones, just so far they will not reach them in any way-they are lying on mattresses waiting in the wings.

how could I forget another dream butterfly from this trip Pyrgus sidae - one of the most beautiful of our thick heads and took a pair at once when copying

The complex is located in the village of Voroby, on the new territory of the bird Park - Voroby. This is less than 100 kilometers from Moscow on the Kiev highway.

Dear Collector, how do you prevent the wings of butterflies from burning out? Judging by the photo, there will be a lot of sun in the room.

The season was very busy, as well as Elizar was engaged in the survey of regional protected areas and the search for Red Book species...

I confess that I haven't written any fishing reports in the past season, so I'll try to improve as much as possible.
2014 was marked by a focus on in-depth study of their native places – all trips, all training camps were made exclusively in the Yaroslavl region, but the season, nevertheless, was one of the most successful in recent years. To the best of my ability, I assisted Elizar(y) and Anthrenus (y) in finding new and confirming previously known habitats of our "Red bookers". I was convinced that the population of Carabus nitens can exist in a biotope that does not correspond to the widespread literature data (in the Rostov region - a dry meadow on the edge of a mixed forest). The presence of Galeruca laticollis and Coroebus elatus populations has been confirmed in the Nekrasovsky district (the species is not Red Book, but we have local ones). Another species included in the Red Book of the Yaroslavl region, this summer managed to find Carabus clathratus and Odonteus armiger (soil trap) – these two species were previously known in our country only from references in the literature of the beginning of the last century, as well as Carabus menetriesi, Hololepta plana (despite the massive felling of old poplars in Rostov, this baby is still found under the bark of the remaining stumps), Nebria livida (a small series was collected on the shallows of the Rybinsk reservoir), Macroleptura thoracica (for the first time caught a female not only with a red pronotum, but also with the same color elytra). Calosoma auropunctatum, which I found in the Rostov region, is supposed to be included in the planned new edition of the Red Book of the region. And also from the interesting and not often we come across - Carabus cancellatus (finally, after several years of "calm", it again began to fall into our traps), Poecilus punctulatus, Phytoecia nigricornis (I learned to collect it "for any reason"), Menesia bipunctata (I collected the second copy in my life), Synaptus filiformis, Harminius undulatus, Hypnoidus riparius, Larinus planus (this is the first one larina found here), Pissodes castaneus, Hylobius pinastri, Graptus triguttatus, Bothynoderes affinis, Pryonichus ater, Velleius dilatatus… In short, it's a sin to complain about the season! Waiting for the next one…
