Crimea, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova

Vladimir, can I ask you to buy this atlas for me? I'm a fan of mushroom atlases

Oleg, I saw a book - Mushrooms-friends and enemies of man. I might be able to get it. Need it?
The name is intriguing. Year of publication approximately 50th

Yes, interesting. I will be grateful.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to find Tomares in cloudy weather, even if you know the point where they live up to meters away.

I just believed in Yandex with its "VARIABLE" cloud cover,which was not there at all. A naive child... But the CACTUS saw

 
In conclusion - a mushroom theme (alas, I'm not very good at mushrooms yet):
[attachmentid()=85672]

Coprinus and sort of comatus. Only the old one is already autolyzed. And the young ones are even edible, but they write everywhere that you can't use alcohol with alcohol, they say, then you will get poisoned. So -

 
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!

I met wild cacti near Sudak back in 1985.

April 4, 2010
Excursion to Sandyk-Kaya rock in the vicinity of Feodosia.
Members: okoem, Kai-ya.
Weather: about +15, light wind, low clouds.
The target is the bagworm Dahlica karadagica (Zagulajev, 1993) and woodworm caterpillars, possibly Stygioides colchicus (Herrich-Schaffer, 1851).


Sandyk-Kaya Rock




And only the mountains-to the horizon...





In the distance-Kara-Dag massif



Dahlica karadagica cover



Some kind of elephant inhabiting the rocks



Pulsatilla taurica - Crimean lumbago (terry form)



Potentilla micrantha-small-flowered cinquefoil



Woodworm cocoon and caterpillars in last year's wild onion bulbs






It's getting late

Excursion to Sandyk-Kaya rock in the vicinity of Feodosia.

So the entire south-eastern Crimea is located in the vicinity of Feodosia.

After the first unsuccessful descent from this mountain (we got lost, hung over a precipice (without rye...), and had to climb back up) - my wife and I renamed it Kerdyk-Kai. But the place is still very, very nice.

"Not all of it, but only half of it. The second half is the vicinity of Sudak, where, by the way, there is another Sandyk-Kaya.

"there are only three places to go down. The rest are precipices or very steep rocky areas.

Oh, I'm going to sort out the stains now, a small thing called carabid, elephants, redcaps (black!,another species), 2 very small 2 mm babies, some beetles (STAFILINOIDEA) in the forest on mushrooms, cool T-shirts...I'll post a photo soon.

cool T-shirts-uralensis & brevicollis, it seems.

Fishing location



... and the result is

I, Barry, Kharkovbut and Aleksandrs
Kharkiv region, pos.Mokhnach
was caught in two places.Two problems: clouds and wind, but the catch is good.

Barry, Kharkovbut have yet to post a photo.

I'll probably add a third problem - a lot of snakes. Truly, the Serpent justifies its name... On the slope, just behind the last houses, as soon as we started to climb (this is for no more than 100 meters), there were more than a dozen of them. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the slope is covered with a dense layer of caked grass and leaves, the ground is not visible. Some of them were lying on top, and somewhere only the eyes could be seen, and the viper itself was below under the grass. I don't know about the others, but I was frankly terrified, I had never seen so many of them before, literally every step was given to me with great tension... The slope was just sunny, which was probably what attracted them. But then, as we entered the forest, the tension eased somewhat, although there were still three of them...

Well, my traditional "photographic" problem - of course I can't keep up with the catchers. While I'm shooting one, Liparus manages to sketch about ten pieces in its "execution" jar... I took some pictures in the field, and took a little more with me for home shooting...

? Amata phegea




Staphylin under the bark of an oak tree surrounded by a small family of ants. While I was filming , I crawled into the crack, they didn't take it.


A bag-girl was crawling along the concrete wall of an abandoned ramshackle building. I just caught Prostemma there for a home shoot ?aeneicolle (I ran fast, I wouldn't have been able to remove it there anyway). And Liparys caught more than a dozen Lygaeus equestris for research on Lygaeus simulans.


Then we moved to another place-closer to the river, two T-shirts...





? Melitaea didyma (kharkovbut), on mullein


Flea eater


The anti-spammer doesn't let you do the rest... Maybe he needs to take a timeout there...

Well, if we have to-where do we go?..

And there were no problems, IMHO. It was a nice walk in good company, thank you! (The problem has already occurred now: I try to upload the photo a second time, but the first time didn't work out...

Yes, it was 3 times,but I don't seem to be afraid, let's see until they grow up to meter rosmerov,but for now I will be engaged in moralizing

06.04.10. On the way to a business trip to Poltava decided (joined Gerasimov and Damone (Sergey)) find a place and spend the night fishing. Near Shishaki, a deciduous forest in the river valley. Psel. + 11 at 0 o'clock, +7 in the morning, three lamps -2 DRL and DRV. The year is very, very good ,almost all kinds in large numbers.

There were a few other micro-species, some of the beetles - a big swimmer with a single whisker-were left to live,a couple of hornbills,some kind of carabid, but there were a lot of butterflies, so they didn't pay attention to the rest.

04.04.10 there was another trip to the north of the Kiev region to the Black Grouse area until 22-00, but it was very cold, so there were very few butterflies from those not mentioned in the top list

A.frlavicornis

L.socia
B.nebucolosa

I forgot to charge the batteries for the photo so even my low quality ones are only one

Such a screen at 6 am


This is what I selected for myself

Not exactly about fishing, but still here's what I managed to collect in 2009 with my own and other people's hands

Andrey, it is more convenient to collect not 10 pieces in series,but a pair or 2 pairs.
After all, any quality is reduced by quantity...Or are you just fishing in pairs?

I don't understand, what are you talking about?
I catch as much as I can, and put it in the collection by variety, rarity, availability of time and material ))

09.04 2010. Zhytomyr region, Malinsky district, Lyubovichi village, near the Galove nature reserve. Forest with a predominance of birch. Caught on light from 20.00 to 23.30. Years average.
The first time I went fishing with a generator , so I took almost everything. We were particularly pleased with Endromis versicolora. In the end, the long-awaited female arrived.
I don't know much about species names yet. Everything in the photo.

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

Today, 15 pieces of Cis (s) were found,3 pieces were taken from me by Barry and 4 pieces were taken from me. I sentenced (with an axe).(22 was)

Still found Strophosoma ?faber (Herbst, 1784), about 8 females and 25 males.(+30 polylines)I haven't seen it before.(I didn't look for it there)

On Wednesday (April 7) I went to Odessa to the Kuyalnytskyi estuary. The target was Dorcadion religiosum, which I failed to catch
The places are beautiful, there were a lot of toffee, but the beetle Caught a little bit of pusillums, a couple of tauricums, Meloe uralensis, a couple of cute macrophages, in general, not a lot of everything and nothing particularly interesting.
Initially, I planned 3 days, but later, due to the weather and a small number of beetles, I lasted only 2..

But on the way back I met an oenotomologist!!!!! It was Grigory Demidov. A pleasant introduction. He invited me to visit, we chatted, looked at the collection. I liked the collection, especially some types of barbels, of course
As a gift, I received a pair of pavonias and a very cute black body from the Kuyalnik, I will put it up for determination later
Then we said our goodbyes and I drove home, happy.
Just like that, you never know where 2 passionate people will meet

Nomas, nomas. Sometimes they do.

Good day to you, dear colleagues.
So I had some free time and decided to go out into the field to hunt. I went to the fields in the hills near the village of Balanesti to catch dorcadas, despite the change of weather three times a day, I still got something. Let them be banal, but still nice. The catch included Dorcadion fulvum, tauricum and pedestre, as well as Meloe proscarabeus, cicatricosus, dicoloratus and rugosus, as well as campestris and soluta type horses. Nanoch put the soil around the camp and caught carabus coriaceus and arvensis in general the trip was difficult but refuted

Today I, A. I. Slutsky (Aleksandrs) and my wife, E. Karolinsky (kharkovbut) went to Krasny Kut (north-west of Kharkiv region). Mixed forests on the sands, swamps...
Liparus couldn't keep us company, he had some urgent business to attend to in Lubotin... We were even driving through Lubotin, and I tried to call him several times , but all in vain, the answering machine answered...

Somehow it so happened that I practically did not take pictures, but I took a good amount with me - according to rough estimates, I will have to take pictures for three days...

There are 5-7 types of silkworms.
Bitoma crenata (? there are no similar ones).
Something very similar to zhuzhelits (~10 mm), but very small, they don't run fast, I decided that they were probably black-bodied (under the bark of a birch tree, in crevices).
A pair of Rhagium inquisitor under the bark of a pine tree.
Small beetles (4-5 mm) on pine.
Weevils ? Coniocleonus hollbergii Leaf
beetle ? Chrysomela populi
In mushrooms on birch-type Orthocis linearis
Flat carapaces ~ 4 mm, as far as I understand, not Hololepta plana.

Well, a number of all sorts of small beetles incomprehensible to me families.

A full paragraph with bedbugs - a couple of Rhyparochromus pini, a few small ones like Anthocoridae, well, I came across a few dry Eurygaster sp.









In the rotten trunk of a pine tree, something like a lizard (~ 4-5 cm) was sitting in the passages from beetles.

On the way back we stopped at the sanatorium "Sharovka" (Bogodukhovsky district), architecture of the second half of the 19th century...

Triturus (Lissotriton) vulgaris

14.04.10 using a business trip to Zhytomyr decided to catch a little. We stopped near Korostyshev, mixed forest, on the edge of a clearing(50°18 ' 55 "E029°07' 09”). Arrived around 15-00, during the day non-year-old flew-dawn, napi, ruby, males of versicolor and quite a lot of X. biriviata (none of them came to the world), a couple of spring girls.. In the afternoon, we looked at beetles in the clearing, I caught two water ones and some nutcracker, a colleague of another 4 species of nutcrackers, elephants, small carabids, black heifers, etc. and 2-and 7-point cows ,besides banal(according to Gerasimov) granulatus and hybrid. At 20-15, the lamps were turned on (2DRL+DRV) +13 at the end of 22-30+8. The year is by and large a bad one. Here is the result( a lot of only opima and sosnovaya, the rest up to 10ex)

1-E.versicolora

2-A.flavicornis

3-A.parthenias(днем)
4-S.dentaria
5-A.pilosaria
6-L.hirtaria
7-B.strataria
8-E.crepuscularia
9-A.aescularia
10- X.biriviata(днем)

11-C.coryli
12-B.nebeculosa
13-E.transversa
14-C.vaccinii
15-C.rubiginea
16-C.erythrocephala
17-O.incerta
18-O.gothica
19-O.cruda
20-O.opima
21-O.miniosa
22-O.cerasi
23-P.flammea
24-C.rubricosa
25-C.leucographa

In general, nothing interesting , I took only female opima and a couple of scoops very fresh, endromisov (there were only males) deliberately did not take

There to the left and right of the oak stood


These are the beetles I caught

small swimmer up to a centimeter


And this is more


Anostirus castaneus (opr.Gerasimov)


Those that Gerasimov has are immediately defined only up to the family

Anostirus castaneus (opr.Gerasimov)
Those that Gerasimov immediately opredlyayutsya only to the family

Let me clarify: these are indeed males of Anostirus castaneus Linnaeus, 1758 (a familiar beetle-we will have them a little later, at the end of the month).

And what do they sit on ?

Personally I caught them flying in the clearing
