I apologize if there is already such a topic, but I didn't find it.
What insects are found only or mainly in autumn?For which groups or individual interesting species is it the time of greatest activity?Maybe some insects exist in the form of larvae in the summer and only turn into imagos by autumn?Naturally, the question mostly relates to the territory of the former USSR...

Maybe some insects exist in the form of larvae in the summer and only turn into imagos by autumn?

Yes, of course, there are such insects.
I think we should ask a more specific question. There are many insects, and the territory of the former USSR is huge...

a lot of them are late-autumn, as well as early-spring. trichocerids, for example. There is also a peculiar (wingless) mosquito-limoniida Chionea, although they were probably caught in winter. If August is considered a biological autumn, then there will be a lot of scoops, moths, etc., and if not, then there seems to be very little that is purely calendar - "autumn".

it seems that our mid-band glaciers (Boreidae) fly as larvae or pupae, but in the tundra, however, they run in the summer.

There are autumn species of babbling flies in the Crimea, the peak of their summer is in September, but they fly, however, from August to October. For example, Merodon tricinctus Sack, 1913. Imagos feed, by the way, on flowering broad-leaved kermeka, grudnitsa, autumn woodland at this time.

do you distinguish sawflies from false burrs?

clear stump tongue.gifthey can generally be rolled up in banks....so there are a lot of them. I do not collect them practically, but those caterpillars that pupated, by the way, what to do with them so that they would not all come out at once in the winter, but that one or two a week would come out-pricked, dried, next, etc.

From lepidoptera on the territory of the former USSR, you can collect a lot of things exclusively in autumn and late autumn, mainly Heterocera. Autumn fauna, in general, is almost the most interesting. In some regions, it is also poorly studied.
