Crimea, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova

Then with a high degree of probability it is Nalassus gilvipes, but it would be nice to get a better picture - the genus is quite variable. You have quite three more types of subcutaneous running should.

How much can you collect?

Dofiga!

How much can you collect?

Dofiga!

And what else can be caught from the Cryptorhynchinae family when and on what trees...I just don't want to waste my time, the poke method is as long as a needle in the stage

Acalles try to search, in the litter. And in hollows, you should have Gastrocercus depressirostris. Like everything.

omar, can you take a look at mine?

Is all Nalassus laevioctostriatus...

Like everything. Along the way, I'll note that the person who identifies beetles to you is trustworthy.

Yesterday kharkovbut (Eugene Karolinsky) and I went to the chalk mountains near Volchansk (this is approximately in the north-east of the Kharkiv region)... The main goal was to find the caterpillar of some rare pigeon, I don't even remember what it is called. After about three hours of searching, she finally got caught! And the only one... no matter how much they climbed, they literally sifted all the grass through their fingers, but they didn't find a single one. Although, to take a picture, of course, one was enough for us... In general, the main task of the expedition was still completed... Meanwhile, they took pictures of everything that came along the way... You can view everything I have on my website, so I don't think it makes much sense to duplicate it here...

Definitely... it's just that he didn't look at everyone...

Probably it was the caterpillar Agriades pyrenaicus subspecies ergane which is found only in that place and still in Belgorod

Ja, ja, naturlich.

It is found not only in the Belgorod region (by the way, I don't remember whether it was actually found there - but it is there, of course, somewhere), but also in Kusa, and in Voronezh (Divnogorye), from where it was described.

For Agriades - megarespectus, I am a big fan of this species (or rather, subspecies). I have never seen photos of Pyrenaicus caterpillars of such quality anywhere!!!
P.S. In the Belgorod region-it's definitely in some kind of reserve (I don't remember what it's called )

  
PS In Belgorod - definitely in some kind of reserve (I don't remember what it's called )

Do you remember where the information came from?

...after I shouted-a bumblebee fly!!!!I got her!!!!

It's too early for Volucella... Are you sure, Liparus? Are there any photos?

Hi, after taking a picture, I decided to fix her mustache and they broke
off to stick?or is it a banal fly?

Today? What about me...

Do you remember where the information came from?

Here, I looked at Morgun and Lvovsky, "B. Ch. of Eastern Europe": in the Belgorod region - a place called Vislaya Dubrava (a strange name for the habitat of Agriades )

the place is called Hanging Oak Grove (a strange name for the habitat of Agriades )

Not particularly... We actually have some upland oak forests just above the chalk slopes.

It would be better, of course, to call not" Hanging Oak", but "Flying Pyrenaicus"...

PS: We have this, by the way, called "Landscape Reserve Severskodonetsky" - although it is 15 kilometers to the Seversky Donets.

It's not Volucella..

what then?
today we are going to go for an hour polexen catch, and I trubkovertov

Hi, after taking a picture, I decided to fix her mustache and they broke

Yes, this is not a bumblebee, but a beekeeper, Eristalis intracarius, I think. The female. By the way, it's still early for her. Overwintered, most likely. The view is quite common for forest and forest-steppe zones.

Do you remember where the information came from?

Ask Helene - she knows exactly.

Hello at last. I have arrived. Reaper and I were in the Crimea.

They first caught insects in the Karadag Nature Reserve, heading there from the village of Shchebetovka. On the way there, past Tatar houses, in a meadow in cow cakes, I rummaged and found several different beetles. Then, under a dead dog, several, as Andrey put it, "banal" kozheeds were found. The Ausonian whiteflies flew. Then, under the bark of a fallen poplar tree near the river, they found 2 types of small black flat babies and all sorts of small things. Going up the slope on the flowers saw bronzovok Olenok. In general, the beetles were hard to come by. - On mountain slopes, in the absence of humus and litter, even under trees, especially when with osteochondrosis, sciatica and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, I could barely keep up with rushing Andrew and rushing blackheads Atras, it is difficult to find coleoptera. The wind was strong. On the ground, which looked like yellowish stone clay, sprinkled with the same color of sand – no one ran. Even the darklings. There were no beetles on the flowers except Olenka and some seeds.
Aged (very large compared to our KMV - esh ones) Nymphalis polychloros flew between the trees. A few more Libythea celltis and Turnips. And pigeon girls Alexis and Agestis.

On the shore of the Sea of Azov, the village of Kamensk, under stones in a meadow by the sea and on rocky ledges, descending to the sea coast, found a few interesting ground beetles of various small.
On the way from Kamensk to the Arabatskaya fortress and the Botanical Reserve, along the Sea of Azov along a narrow strip of grassy vegetation (on the other side there was an abandoned field), we met 2 types of T-shirts, khrushchas. On the roadway itself, several species of black heifers were running around. But Andrey was in a hurry as always, and I couldn't slow down, climb on all fours, carefully looking under every stone and blade of grass.
We spent a day climbing the coastal steppe near the Arabat fortress. There aren't many beetles. There aren't many colors. There are no tortillas. The earth is like stone. Darklings only. Among the butterflies, as far as I have glimpsed-Ausonia, Agestis, turnips, one species of thick - headed Alceae. And one copy of the Swallowtail.
The next day I did invite him to go to the salt marshes and the sea. "This was a bugger's paradise!"!! - What only small ground beetles were not! (not a single Caribou, and one type of horse - Litoralis). Staphylins, bystryanki and all sorts of small fry in the mass. This is infested with litter, which, depending on the distance from a completely flat sea shore, changes several times in height, appearance and composition.

Then we went by troem with Shustov to Cape Megan. (On the way, we drove into a huge, hilly ravine. I really liked it there. There is no wind, it is warm, and a trickle is making its way along the bottom. Naseomye run, jump and fly. Under the rocks and grass all sorts of interesting Coleoptera come across ; - but Lepilopterologists had a holy goal-Kalimakh and Geba – - therefore, to study this oasis from the point of view of the beetle – it did not work out.)
Tomares Kalimah and some other Vikrama pigeons were flying on Meganom on a mountainous meadow slope. A Vixen was flying in a hollow that sloped down to the sea. The herbaceous vegetation is very low. There aren't enough colors. The soil is like dust. The dry land is terrible. The wind is bitterly cold. Zhukov collected a little. Leaf eaters are different and ladybirds.
Then we stopped by a road in a mountain forest. Very beautiful orchids were blooming there, and the soap dish was running out of battery power very quickly; "and I couldn't photograph anything." The litter represents a ten-centimeter layer of completely dry hard leaves, which lies as if independently separate from the soil, which represents petrified clay sprinkled with the same hardy granules. Thousands of cockroaches run through these dry leaves. And on the very ground of kivsyaki. There are Campestris horses in the glades. My partners didn't like the place at all from a lepidopteran point of view, so we moved on.
In a completely dry steppe near Ordzhonikidze, I was left hanging around the car-and they rushed to the hills. The wind is terrible. I noticed reeds in the center of a tiny salt marsh not far away and rushed there as if to an oasis, since at any moment disappointed lepidoopterologists could come and I would have to leave unsalted.
Crawling and on all fours, I began to squeeze through these prickly reeds and to my predicted joy, I found a wonderful small fry in the litter!!!
Then at night, under the drizzling rain, which probably evaporated before reaching the asphalt, we went with Andryukha to Bald Mountain in the Feodosia region, and under the lights of the garage cooperative we found several different interesting motes and a shovel. And from the beetles I found 2 cute ground beetles, a nutcracker and an elephant.
That's all it seems. I don't have the inspiration to write at the moment. So it turned out clumsily. - And I didn't want to move away from this particular topic "Fishing Report".

Andrey managed to catch 3 times more beetles, and different ones, besides butterflies for me. – He's a great talent. He's just great. And I, apparently, am getting old or something...
I also sincerely thank Okoyom from the bottom of my heart, who treated me to the last three cups of drinking water at home; sacrificially allowed me to call 45 seconds to Russia from a wired phone; and sold us with Andrey Crimean endemics (beetles) 2 – 4 times cheaper than in the price lists!
A separate huge human gratitude to Shustov for his cordiality and generosity in providing us with car services. In addition, he saved me from a cramp in my throat after my body reacted to eating a poisonous plant from the Araceae family by digging up smoked bacon in the trunk.

(I hope for the general sense of humor of intelligent Entomologist Brothers)

Sincerely, Andreas.

- Now Kamensk, where we lived in summer houses on the shore of the Sea of Azov. I was struck by the huge number of starlings, crested and field larks, black-headed gulls and silver gulls, village swallows, field sparrows and turtledoves. Fossilized shells of ancient mollusks were found in the rocky rocky shore. A strong cold wind is constantly blowing from the sea. The ground is cracked from the drought. It was a bit chilly at night under the heavy blankets. The night season was bad. Just in front of us, their water main broke. Artesian water is disgusting. They paid $ 3.5 per day per person. The hosts are great.
- In the photos, so, a strip of snow-plowed, uncut steppe, which does not even graze cows. It runs along the Sea of Azov from Kamensk to the Arabat fortress (which was built by the Cossacks to protect it from Turkish raids from the sea) and further bypassing the salt marshes, where in turn there are still much earlier fortifications already erected by the Greeks, again from the Turks. This strip is located at a fairly high elevation above the flat beach shore of the sea.

Andreas, what kind of runner is so wonderful? Like olive or aesculapius?

Beer ads don't roll!

Warm salt marshes Near the Sea of Azov. Clouds of sandpipers sandpipers and gulls. Mongo horses Littoralis, which are impossible to catch without a net. At a moderate distance from the shore, a solid half-meter layer of 3-5 meters wide shells. Interspersing strips of mud, clay, water, salt flats, mud, and seaweed. Small ground beetles run on the clay during the day. There are lots of insects under the mud and under the trees!!! Gorgeous scolopendras, woodlice and millipedes are all different. Several types of bystryanok for Telnov Ticks and spiders.

- I read the beer composition on the label in each case. - And this, there sellers, unlike our own, will not be annoyed. I tried all kinds of local methods and made a report in the aspect of organoleptic analysis. - Everything, - I'm silent; - and then they will beat you!

this is a mega report!

yeah, and coleopterological

It seemed to me that Andreas ' report was just more coleoptero - than lepidopteric, at least in the mood of

Rather local history, with an entomological bias, which is its big plus!
