Crimea, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova

It's nice to remember. Thank you. I used to pick at it once, too. I even have the first beetle in my collection. Phosphuga atrata. They can also be black.

Yes, there were plenty of blacks, and I've had enough of them in the past spring... There were a few more Carabus granulatus and a couple of seven-pointed cows. A small black beetle (? Ciidae) crawled somewhere while I was filming the brown one (Liparus did not control the situation, but went to chisel another log) - in general, he did not take it...

I wonder what kind of pink larva is in a dry tinder mushroom (? Diaperis boleti)...

Strange? We just have them mostly black.

Maybe young brown, and then darken?

Yes, no, these are color options, I just meant that I mostly find the black form in our country, while your brown one dominates.

Yes, this is Ciidae-photo over Cerylon(s)
P.S. And why Phosphuga atrata so much?! They can not be exchanged, not sold - banal. Is this genocide?

Yes, it's probably from joy. The season has opened after all

Well, yes, well, yes... God forbid, if all 6 tens in the collection will stand up...

In Khmelnitsky there were more brown meadows. And when I came across a black one, for some reason, it was larger in size. I, in general, then thought that this is a different view.

This is a black (large) female you came across, the females are larger than the males.Matching is simple.In the Crimea, they are black and much larger than from our latitudes.

Out of 71 pieces, we got:
55 brown
12 black
and 4 transitional (black-brown or brown-black)

Is it strange that all their paws and claws are intact?

Why do you need so many of them? Even I only took a couple of pictures of them for the record... Luchche would have picked up so many small ones...

2 Liparus: Arthur, really: why do you need them? Just in a week this beetle and we have from under the bark "packs will fall"

Luchche would have picked up so many small ones...

Yes, yes. Instead of dozens of Phosphugs, I Would try not to miss Cis...

Zaporozhye region, 15 km. north of Zaporozhye, near the village of Privetnoye. 30.03.2010. 19.00-22.30.

9. Orthosia gothica > 10
10. Anorthoa munda ~10

Maybe I missed something from Orthosia, the color variability is too high in almost all flying species, the butterflies have not yet been analyzed. If something is wrong, please specify.
After disassembling the material
+12. Conistra vaccinii-2



The main goal of the trip is Perigrapha i-cinctum, caught for the first time in the region by "shustov" on 28.03.


Orthosia incerta and 2 Orthosia cerasi


Lithophane ornithopus - only one, I would like more.


Very strange Orthosia ?cruda


Phlogophora meticulosa


Orthosia gothica


Anorthoa munda

Very strange Orthosia ?cruda

This is incerta

This is me from the photo, I announced, the size is not visible, and incerta flew, so different, only the size saved, basically they are larger than all Orthosia.

The cruda wing is more rounded, but here the lines are straight.

Generally similar to munda

Perigrapha i-cinctum-class, has never caught a fish from us yet, if we have them at all

Generally similar to munda

Yes, more like munda. Variable view http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...&st=0&p=1032329

Today I allocated 4 hours for fishing, the outskirts of Kharkiv, + 15
Of the butterflies I saw Lemongrass and Nymphalid c-white
Of the caterpillars I saw 4 pieces (Rural bears)

From beetles found:
...

Yes... I should have gone today ...

Liparus, who defined the Leiodidae? It's just very interesting to know who can say such beetles offhand.

People are lucky! I have been collecting beetles in Ukraine for 30 years, I have never seen Chalcophora mariana in my eyes. And here in winter...

Alexander Nikolaevich Drogvalenko deals with small subcutaneous beetles - Triplaxxx http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?act=Pro...DE=03&MID=46360.
Although this Liparus apparently watched it himself.

Was Chalcophora mariana alive??? Or was she found dead in her crib?

Liparus, who defined the Leiodidae? It's just very interesting to know who can say such beetles offhand.

Here I have exactly the same one,but in general I will give Alexander Nikolaevich Drogvalenko some time to check,I don't think there is a close look (red with black elytra)

Was Chalcophora mariana alive??? Or was she found dead in her crib?

The female is last year's,so she was lying on the sand, everything is in order and she has whiskers and claws, only the body is very worn out.Do I need to add them to the collection?

Well... judging by her unnatural posture...
I saw a few last summer. Bezlyudovka, Vasishchevo, Krasnokutsky district (pine cutting).

Sometimes a mass beetle.

In the evening, my wife and I went for a walk in the forest park...

April 3, 2010 I managed to wander a little in the vicinity of Sudak (Crimea). I wanted to find Tomares callimachus, there are few photos of this animal in the archive, but it was not possible - the weather was "not very good", there was almost no sun, cool wind, clouds, even rain broke down at times (in general, Yandex with the weather let me down - there was no" variable cloud cover", it was "cloudy", even "cloudy" ) There were few animals - Libythea celtis, Nympalis polychloros, Pieris napi...
The main thing that I managed to find new for myself is a CACTUS growing like a savage! I looked on the Internet , and yes, it was acclimatized (brought from America), first it was in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden and planted in nature, it took root... At first I thought I was hallucinating, but it turned out not to be-just Opuntia humifusa... It's interesting to be "backward"... Constant discoveries for yourself!

There were many of these comrades -

And a few of these -

In conclusion-mushroom theme (alas, I'm not strong in mushrooms yet):

The prickly pear experiment is more than a fool's errand... I would like to tear off the hands of this "introducer"!

I would see such a thing in the Crimea - I would go crazy! Pavel, write to me, probably I will need something from your location

Already???    

When I climbed Chatyrdag on February 27 (http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=101629&view=findpost&p=1017557), this thing stuck to me. In the evening, I wash in the shower - something incomprehensible behind my ear... It dawned on me - wasn't it a tick? Pulled - it's the same! THE THING!!! After all, they are like the hawk moth Macroglossum stellatarum or the nymphalis Nymphalis polychloros - they are activated in any thaw.

Already???    

Yes... There is nothing on the way, and these comrades have already "gone to work"...

It's too late - they're already dead... At least, if we start from this source:

Pavel, write to me, probably I will need something from your places

If I find anything interesting about the cossides , I'll let you know... If you are interested in something else, you write it, and I will answer

2palvasru4ko
I don't even know what to say... May they rest in peace...

"this is already you write, and I will answer" Pash, and we?

April 3, 2010 I managed to wander a little in the vicinity of Sudak (Crimea). I wanted to find Tomares callimachus,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to find Tomares in cloudy weather, even if you know the point where they live up to meters away.
Prickly pear in the Crimea is a lot of places, infection... Opposite the fortress, by the way, its whole thickets.
A dung mushroom of some sort. A new atlas of Crimean mushrooms has recently appeared in bookstores - 330 species with descriptions, 414 pages (price 50-100 hryvnias, depending on the store).

Vladimir, can I ask you to buy this atlas for me? I'm obsessed with mushroom atlases
