Time and place to start:
Kazakh - 03.07-26.07 Nakhimovka village near Spassk (from 13.07 to 16.07 in Anisimovka)
Me and Mikhail - 10.07-19.07 Anisimovka village, 19.07-24.07-Vityaz Bay.
Overall impressions of the trip - super, however, almost turned into a kangaroo, 20-30 km every day to climb the mountains, and then crawl all night at the screen.
On a tip from Yura (Berezhny), we spent the beginning of our vacation in Primorye OVER the village of Anisimovka (7 km from the village uphill, next to the ski slope). At the airport, we were met by the son of Sergey, the owner of houses in the mountains, a former border guard (or grushnik). Sergey turned out to be a very entertaining person, I think Mikhail will add about him himself. The first butterflies we met in Primorye turned out to be iridescent Shrek-a beautiful butterfly, but so banal, it flies everywhere and in large numbers.

Now, as for the scary and wild beasts. Apart from stories, literally from everyone we meet, we can't say anything. We have never seen a wild animal larger than a chipmunk. Snakes-enough, cottonmouths, grass snakes, runners (although it is not quite a snake), but if it is neat and noisy, then there is no danger. Similar stories about scary and evil insects turned out to be greatly exaggerated. We didn't see any ticks at all, mosquitoes in two weeks met the number that fits on the fingers of one hand, horseflies - well, I saw about ten pieces. Wildebeest only at night, in the morning and then a little, small and not every night. For example, in a day at my dacha in Neftyanik, I meet all this infection ten times more than in two weeks in Primorye.

Since I have very few photos of beetles, I will immediately unsubscribe from the beetles.
Beetles (barbels) The Kazakh caught much more fish in 3 days in Anisimovka than in Nakhimovka in the previous 9 days (only a little more than forty species of barbel). But the biggest beetle was in the blue mountains. We had very bad flying horns, for all the time a couple of males of Dybovsky and about 5 different females, but they went in a jamb with him. Well, a photo of one of the mattresses from Vityaz, which "accidentally" turned out to be in my suitcase. The rest of the mattresses with beetles from Mikhail (a very small part) and kilograms of beetles from Vladimir. Yes, the ground beetle of Schrenk was not as banal as I thought - they caught three pieces in my opinion and that's all. But beautiful, of course.

Apparently everyone has already visited the DV, few people are interested, but come on.
How we caught sericins.
It started with the fact that the station of these nondescript sailboats had to walk 12 km on a dusty road with trucks. It was a good thing there wasn't any sun yet, even if it wasn't hot. Next - the station. Thickets of reeds from 2 to three meters, intertwined with kirkazon, and above the surface these g...s float. Oil painting-three idiots are standing with nets up and waiting for sailboats to fly into them. Unfortunately, a photo of the conditions in which we caught Mishka, when he shows up, I think he will post it. Finally, they found a clearing where at least the head was sticking out and mowed down these grandmothers. There were a lot of them flying there, but mostly males, females flew poorly, and the sun was sporadic, and in general this lazy reptile sits and waits for the male to find it. When we went back out, it turned out that the males were already flying around in the fields, and even sitting on the mud along the road. And when a couple of days later the females were found, one right in Anisimovka, and the other even worse on the ski slope, it became clear that the locality of these butterflies is greatly exaggerated, I think wherever there is the necessary kirkazon, they either exist, or after a while they will appear.
About nomions. These were already almost exhausted, but there were a lot of them flying and you could choose both very fresh and not completely killed. We don't have to talk about the station of these Parnassians at all. Everywhere from Anisimovka to Novonezhino (15 km) along the railway they fly. True, local fields are 1-1. 5 meter thickets intertwined with bindweeds and lianas, and even cottonmouds can come across. Therefore, catching is not as easy as we would like. Yes, while sorting out the envelopes with nomions, I found that almost all the females laid a little eggs, about 50 in total, no one needs them, I can give them a gift, they are already a week old, they will start hatching soon.

Camptoloma interiorata from memory-it doesn't seem to be there, but I didn't see half of the Kazakh collections, the rest, in my opinion, were there, except for Kochubey, but all the tapes are mostly from Kazakhs, you will need to see more. There were also a few scoops that looked like a snake, but not amur-the front wings are wider, on the rear wings there is a blue eye, most likely Juno.
By the way, there are still a bunch of entomologists who have not yet returned (most likely). I hope that when they arrive, they will also unsubscribe (I don't have to talk about cajarc, I don't think he climbs out of Primorye, we met him at the mine in Gusevka, from there he was going to replace us in Anisimovka; there was also Anton, Alexey from Komsomolsk-on-Amur, etc.). hanging out-an Italian, a German and a Frenchman were in Anisimovka. In the same place, with a huge net and a camera, the notorious Meshcheryakov and another amateur from Miass wandered around. In general, during the day there were more people with nets in the Anisimovka area than without

them .

Sergey's picture shows the Gotcha barbel (Lamiomimus gottschei Kolbe), which seems to be rare. But in Anisimovka it is quite common, on Vityaz they caught a one and a half times larger specimen, and at kaxah-a in the Spassky district it is generally a garbage species.

In Anisimovka, at an altitude of 600 m num in the remote taiga, where only drying streams flow, a hefty plavunets flew to the light, and a couple of small water lovers were also there.
In Anisimovka (on the fly) they caught a couple, and on Vityaz - one (on a flowering lime tree), representatives of the genus Gnorimus. Sergey and I are not experts, so we can't determine the exact type.
In general, colored crunches of different sizes flew to the light quite abundantly and regularly. I know only one-Rhombonyx holosericea. By the way, a week before leaving for Primorye, I caught him again in the Ryazan region.
Another interesting catch is a hefty dead eater (under 4 cm). Usually we didn't take them, it was disgusting, but we couldn't resist here...
That's all for now, I'll remember something interesting and finish it. Yes, and I'll process the photos, I just don't have time yet.

Of course, it comes across! You just need to be in the right place at the right time.
Guys, your Knight would be interesting to trump.
Interestingly, and such pearls as Camptoloma interiorata, Peridea elzet, Willemanus bidentatus, Catocala kotschubei came across?
In general, a cool seed came out, Seryozha! I'm nostalgic, damn it!

Pash, our katokals didn't fly well at all, and, with rare exceptions, only yellow ones. Things were much better for KAZAH-a, where everything flew much earlier and more than for us. By types, we hope to understand together with you.
There were 10 species of dipper, including the metelkanth (banal, God forgive

me), but, apparently, nothing rare, except for one single dipper (I will not name it)

In general, we were not in the mood for special fishing for something particularly rare, and the places were not ideal, as it turned out. The very thing is the Blue Mountains, where KAZAH was sitting. Please understand correctly - the first acquaintance with the region. I hope that we will continue, and then...
They say that we were very lucky with the weather. In Anisimovka, there were only one and a half rainy days, and one-before leaving, at least gathered in a human way. And on Vityaz half of one night flowed, but on another day half a day. But typhoons regularly frightened us.

Something faded out of the theme. We don't have enough time to deal with the material. I took a few of them off the straightener. Two bears - it is clear that metelkan, but the white one-I hope for the help of specialists.
The yellow-winged shovel is the most banal species among all the shovels of Primorye that I met, which, by the way, is the size of a nuptu.
Well, and a few khokhlatok from the last days in Vityaz (especially for Pasha, but I think there are no rare khokhlatok on the photo, except for the analogue of our Milhausen, in the second row the third from the bottom, there are only three of them).
