and a little bit of the usual stuff under the bark.

Andrey, - I can't resist sneering: - are you an expert on the "ordinary trifle"?, or is this trifle so ordinary that it is completely understandable and familiar to everyone and everything? - Or is this "trifle" simply not of interest to you, because it simply cannot be quickly determined due to its size?
- Just take a picture of it for us once, and let's introduce an abbreviation for this concept - "ordinary trifle" - ABOUT. You can also use Latin to make it clear to international entomologists-normal minor-NM!
- And it would be fine, if only this time - you always get this usual trifle in the Fishing Reports!

- Just don't be offended, please! "I just ran out of vitamins." And in the "little things" I do not even understand the unusual.

And in the south of Ukraine, spring is already coming into force

, although while the animals do not keep up with the rise in temperatures, and there is no particular hurry, from Wednesday winter will visit us again, and will torment us at night))) in the meantime, Tuesday will be the warmest day in this episode of the PO, up to +20C in the south. So don't miss it

The next episode of the collapse of the cold can last until March 22 with Cumin in the south to -3C, in the Crimea to 0C.

The field crickets are basking in the sun, the tarantula burrows are almost all closed, only saffron and then only the beginning of flowering vegetation, there is frost under the rocks and cow cakes, snow in the ravines, ice fragments in the barrels, but the frogs are already awake, permafrost on the northern slopes, quite a lot of spiders are running on the litter, larks have arrived and are in full swing they sing, either out of joy that the sun is shining and so many spiders are running around, or out of grief that after Wednesday few people will be able to eat

, and no activity of snakes and lizards has been noticed. While not seen

In the ravine valyaestya shank from a mine or bomb or something else is not good, so it will probably lie there, and non-ferrous metal seekers will not find it in such a wilderness))) On the steppe near the village climbs a whole flock of sheep, which probably devour saffrons and frogs, and do not choke

Such a situation in the steppes of the south. Ten crickets were unlucky of course yesterday, but what to do

"no snake or lizard activity detected" - A Shikran shot that could only have happened by accident. - Or is it in the aquarium???
- And the viper (if it is a viper) does not look like our Steppe (Virepa ursini)... - maybe it's a Common one (Viperidae berus)? "I don't know much about them

.
- And here at the KMV, apart from melting snowdrifts up to the waist (I don't remember such a March; and I don't say that it is much south of the south of Ukraine), there are no visible insect movements, except for one male of this female species that I photographed almost at the same time last year.
Interestingly, these "mosquitoes" appear in the last and very first warm windows of the year. They jostle in the air. I don't know if they overwinter in the imaginal stage, but they're so tender in appearance.

)- or a part of them overwinters in pupae and hatches in the spring? While pre-winter dances are also not wasted, and insects have time to lay eggs, and adults go to heaven with the feeling of a completed lolga? - if the second version is correct, then this is the so-called insurance of nature against the extinction of the species? - And what is the name of this species - no one can tell you?

Dmitrich, Andreas, so this is not a natural snake, but a domestic one, it is so, for reporting that the crickets caught were not caught in vain

and Therefore "no activity was noticed". This is a steppe viper, the common one doesn't seem to eat insects.

But today I went to watch lizards - and now I can say for sure-there is lizard activity!

Crimean lizards were seen, they are also daffodils of Taurida. In addition to lizards I also saw an ordinary black body the size of a pinky nail

Well, a picture on the topic- "ecology-the science of the house", which shows a solid such house, standing in a village on the outskirts, which is littered with garbage. Garbage is poured into the gully and on the coastal slopes, where even 10 years ago it was so cool

This year, of course, spring is decently delayed - we are now warm due to external advection of heat from the African VM, and from Wednesday-again hello to winter. But last year it was even worse - the same lizards came out already after 25 and saffrons began to bloom with 20 numbers.

Today I bought a new generator-Kipor, 1kW and decided to immediately check it out in business. Just the weather was favorable for 18.00 - +15'. I went outside Kiev to the forest in the Koncha-Zaspy district. I turned on the lamp at 18.30. The sun shone until 21.30. It flew very well, as for March, of course, we do not have Bulgaria

,but for the first time I caught several new species

. There are a lot of overwintered E. transversa, as well as moths of Alsophila aescularia, Phigalia pilosaria.I first caught Apocheima hispidaria - but only one butterfly arrived.Amphibian, probably garlicky, quite large.

I'm very happy for you, especially since such a thing costs a lot.
Kiev is much further north in the latitude of Zheleznovodsk, but we have all the forest and mountain meadows covered in snow , so I think that I would not get such a variety if I had a generator, if anything is flying at all now. - Do you have any daytime butterflies, for example, that have already flown out?
In general, I only caught the generator 2 times in my life in the middle of spring and summer. The spectacle is enchanting! Without a passable car, of course, there is nothing to do.
Of the insects seen today, except for flies, only this bug:
