Caucasus

If it is 5-8 km away, then it is most likely the coast. There are interesting places from the north of the ridge, but it's not so easy to drop off there, and the border zone is nearby. And the Elbrus region, in my opinion, is too crowded.

In my opinion, the most crowded place is just the coast. Everyone is busy vacationing. In the mountains the people are distributed more locally

That's right, but five or six kilometers into the mountains - and almost no one is there. And from Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and so on. to get to nice interesting places (mountain areas), you would have to drive a little bit, and even not get into the reserve, but a pass to the border zone...

Well, this is all purely hypothetical..

I wonder where you can collect well in a short period of time...
After all, people are everywhere, but they end up outside the city)

And where is the border zone there? You mean Georgian?

Judging by the definition of the European part, zlatki generally love the Ciscaucasia..

High in the mountains (at least at the level of 2 thousand meters) is not particularly much, although hotel types climb there - it all depends on the specific region. As for Karachay-Cherkessia, we fished there, for example, last year - in Arkhyz. A minimum of people opposite the coast under construction. But on the coast all sorts of Kapnodis and Dicerks are piled up, yes

Vooo
Arkhyz I also keep in mind... How's it going?"

Ah, actually!
I'm going from 20.05 to 5.06
approximately.

^^ this is me

And I don't want to go high up in the mountains.. Except for some kosher snacks.. if that's where they want to live....

And with dicerks, it's a matter of luck.. They fly on the Dniester, but I haven't taken any yet.. and my friends, the fishermen, collect dozens.

Friends, your feedback on fishing locations and results will help me a lot.

After all, the Caucasus is ... him.... Such.... It's big after all...)

Arkhyz is a good place. But, rather, for fans of Karabida. With zlatkami (at least. in July) it was completely rotten *(although we examined dozens of fallen deciduous trees. Caught a banal Chrysobothris and some Agrillus

Not far from Arkhyz in the Uchkulan area, right at the border post from zlatok, I came across C. mariana, L. mirifica, some trifle.

Thank you.. You can also take a peek.

Do you have any data on Ciscaucasia?

The same thing. In the area of Arkhyz, in the border zone in particular (there was a permit), only Agrillus came across from the goldsmiths. At the end of August.

It's stupid to go to the Caucasus for Mariana's sake) Apparently, the zlatochny places lie much to the south and east, and west (Adygea and the coast).

With barbels, by the way, in Arkhyz, too, not a fountain Every little thing lepturina and kortoderina climbs, and something beautiful, for the soul and eyes, almost no (except that Paraclitus and clitus). I don't know what can be really pleasant there..

For dicerks, go to Abkhazia. There are a lot of chlorostigmas there.
The forests in the area of B. Laba are quite interesting in all respects.

Can I tell you more about these Forests? And what do you think about Dombay?

??? what exactly about forests?
Dombay, like Dombay. The nature reserve is only solid around. And the huntsmen go quite often (I constantly crossed paths with them). And there are really interesting places, especially in the city.Gonachhir and Alibek.

Good location on the Krasnaya Polyana slopes. There you can remove 6-8 species from traps at once, and there are enough other insects! The only negative - there is now "construction of the century"

The deadline has been reduced to 10 days, 3-4 of which will be spent on the road...
So, you will be able to visit a very small area....

I'm leaning towards the Adygea-Sochi option.

There is still a problem, the foreign passport is not ready... And in Abkhazia, as I understand it, no one will let a Ukrainian in without a foreign passport? And, accordingly, to Adjara?

Who knows, please tell me!


Nikolai Pichugin, what kind of Krasnaya Polyana do you have in mind? Which one is on Mzymta, near Sochi?

Why are these places so curious? The views are beautiful mountain, or there are good beetles there? If so, which ones? We will be on Dombay on June 24 of this year..

everything is there. I have Ropalopus lederi from there. Is a bug good enough for you? There are Agapanthia subchalybaea, pogonocherus, Carabus edithae, and more.

KDG why make fun of me like that? Ropalopus lederi not every pro caught in his life,
the beetle is not just wonderful, but excellent

Are you talking about Abkhazia? What about the border?

I'm not kidding you. I just had to see a huge series of very good beetles not even from the "pros". I don't know what's going on with him...

KDG, how to catch Ropalopus lederi? What biotopes does he like? Edith's Carabus isn't a trick.. There are betterCarbuses there

I agree, it happens lucky, but basically people who are not experienced in collecting bring only banals!!! Of course, the time spent during the trip is very important, the longer you stay at the point, the more likely you are to catch something interesting! Sometimes you have to spend several seasons traveling to one point (and always everything is different), there are a lot of examples

mid-mountain forest with maples. we need shrinking and blocked trees (but not fallen trees). runs on trunks. nothing is known about visiting flowers or collecting baits. you can search on dry roads.

Are you talking about Abkhazia? What about the border?

About the Ukrainian I do not know, and about the Russian passport is not needed, just a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

It's all sad...

It will be even worse if the Green Ones fail

- I would like to invite someone to visit us for a fishing trip to the Caucasian Mineral Waters!
"I'm sitting here in an entomological vacuum, after my friend hanged himself and the rest of us got fucked up over the division of markets for entomological souvenirs that I stopped doing for family reasons."
- I guarantee free accommodation in a barn adapted for living, in which I myself live. Also participate as a guide , since I know all the paths here on our 17 laccoliths-magmatites + Borgustan and Jinalsky ridges (altitude from 800 to 1400 m). above sea level). Well, a bed in the hotel can be rented (if you want) for 250r. I'll show you a photo collection of our recorded species. In short, come if you want and can, before the summer is over. I'll help you in any way I can.
Sincerely, Andreas Andriadis

Yasu.
Mail doesn't reach you, philos

I confirm, and direct letters to Andreas, and through the forum mail turns back.

- Ego episis de ta catalavo... Ta prospatiso na gnoriso

- I can recommend one interesting place...
First you need to get a map of the High-altitude Kabardino-Balkar Nature Reserve.
Get to Nalchik.
Drive to the bus station that provides regular routes within the republic.
Drive to the village of Verkhnyaya Balkaria.
You may or may not need to stop in the middle of the road to the village at the management of the reserve located in the former village of Sovetskoye. There, if you are lucky enough to catch the administration at the workplace, you will be bred like suckers for money, charging a certain amount for being on the territory of the reserve. This receipt can help you when communicating with the cops who meet you at the final bus stop (in Upper Balkaria). The most interesting thing is that the river valleys that cut through the reserve are not included in the reserve!!! - and given to the economic use of the population!!! So, if you don't plan to go down the river, and not climb the almost vertical slopes there, then this fake permit is a receipt for nothing! Would-be foresters poaching wildly there will not be interested in your documents at all.
From the village it is necessary to follow not the Cherek Balkarsky, but the river "RCYVASHKI" first on the left bank to the bridge, and then on the right to the "LOVERS ' GORGE". This place is a dead end (a sheer cliff leading to the water does not allow further access) . Cattle don't go in there. It is located an hour's walk from the village. There is a gorgeous untouched herbage!!! You can catch Apollons with your hands in the morning!!! There is a cave where you can sit out the bad weather. Discarded trunks of the river on the shore, - for the fire is full! The nights at the beginning of August are cold , but you can stand it without a sleeping bag, or by the fire, or under a burnt vodka.
The people in the village are hospitable. Ayran is given for free. A wonderful cheese is 3 times cheaper than in Pyatigorsk. The women are tall, statuesque, and fair. You can spend the night in the village for free with almost anyone (but it's better to thank them with evening stories under mutton soup with garlic and some souvenirs, but not with money!). We spent the night with Timur, who lives near the top shop near the last stop. He has 2 institutes, graduated for rams, and 15 years of work as a trucker throughout Russia. My sister teaches the law of God at madrasa, and my younger brother is a Wahhabi. But they honor the law of Caucasian hospitality more than Allah and their parents.
- Or you can go around the Lovers ' Gorge on the right along the ridge and go down to the river Rtsyvashki, along which you can reach the glaciers through which you can get to North Ossetia. The river valley in Prinzpah is beaten out by cattle... - But in the belt of the Caucasian rhododendron, growing mixed with juniper, the lepidopteran Eldorado begins!!! (This time zone starts one hour after the last trees.) After half an hour, the waterfall. After the waterfall, Alpine mixed grasses begin!. Mnemosyne is still flying there on August 1!!!
- (And the common Apollo ends already, where the broad-leaved forest ends interspersed with scree). Poto in half an hour the tundra begins with dwarf willow and crazy beauty multicolored buttercups and bluebells!!!
Tourists come across rarely, and for some reason only foreign ones. During the day, you can walk to the second koshara, where you can spend the night, after passing the first, where you can have lunch and relax for an hour. They are not inhabited. There are tribaxes under the rocks. Local shepherds steal only money from abandoned items; - because the rest of the "wicked" are disdained. In Verkhnyaya Koshara live very trusting snow voles, which take cookies directly from their hands. (Please do not harm them).
- If you want to clarify anything, just ask.
