Small report for today, 09.10.2018, Kherson region, Korsunka village, wet meadows and sands in the plavni.

At night there was a frost on the soil, as a result of which low plants were covered with frost. I saw the first daytime butterflies after 08:00 near the trees in the sandy steppe - these were admirals. Here, in the sandy steppe, I found several nests with Oxycesta geographica caterpillars on the Seguiera euphorbia. Then the butterflies began to come across somewhere closer to 10 am. Most of them could be found on low-growing asters that grow in moist depressions. There were Pyrgus armoricanus, Pontia edusa, Lycaena phlaeas (most of them), tattered Polyommatus icarus, Coenonympha pamphilus, Pieris rapae flew by. Then I walked around, met torn flying pandoras, a couple of whole tongues. From a pleasant one for me personally-Lycaena dispar, although flown around. Also, only one yolk flew by - Colias crocea. Photos of what we managed to capture:

Report for 24_06_2018, Kakhovka city district, forest belt along the North Crimean Canal.

There are usually decent butterflies flying here, but all of them, as a rule, are banal. Unless at the beginning of April, lemongrass came from somewhere here. But this time there were a couple of interesting things for me personally.

First, a photo of what you can often find here (from what is not in the pictures - Didyma draughtsman):

Podaliriev was decent, swallowtail only one, and that - torn.

Now about more interesting things.

First, Leptidea sinapis. Maybe I didn't pay attention before, but this is the first time I've met this butterfly.
