Yesterday I went to the town of Zmiev, Kharkiv region, and put cups in the steppe.
After three days of rainy weather, the earth turned into "chocolate". By midday, it was already problematic to put down the cups, since the ground had dried up under the scorching sun.
They promise sunny weather without precipitation for this week.

All these species were caught by me within 1 hour, on a plot of land, the area of which was 1 meter square:

Carabidae:
Amara sp.
Harpalus ?picipennis

Chrysomelidae:
Chrysolina sanguinolenta

Curculionidae:
Coryssomerus capucinus

Lixus albomarginatus
http://barry.fotopage.ru/gallery/index_cla...p?category=2654

Minyops carinatus
http://barry.fotopage.ru/gallery/index_cla...p?category=4940

Omias murinus
Omias puberulus
Sitona humeralis
Cyphocleonus dealbatus

Geotrupidae:
Lethrus apterus

Histeridae:
most likely ?Pholioxenus quedenfeldti (lives in rodent burrows)

Scarabaeidae:
Onthophagus semicornis
Tropinota hirta hirta
Aphodius fimetarius
Aphodius prodromus

Staphylinidae:
Stenus aterrimus

Tenebrionidae:
Nalassus laevioctostriatus
Opatrum sabulosum

I put the cups empty!
QUESTION TO OUR SPECIALISTS:
SHOULD I ADD VINEGAR TO THEM? IF SO, WILL THEY INCLUDE OTHER BEETLE FAMILIES OTHER THAN GROUND BEETLES AND STAPHYLINAE???

The main sub-goal is to catch Callistus lunatus:

Finally, I opened the season!

22-23. 04. 2011 Kiev region, Kagarlytsky district, Voronivka village district. We went with I. G. Plyushch and Diletant. We were lucky with the weather, but not with Lanestris

. Although, in principle, there were enough insects. Butterflies were caught in the light until 2 am. Scoop flew in a wave, with the rest more modestly. The next morning we went to the surrounding area. T-shirts and dorcas (holosericeum and equestre) emerged from the beetles. We dug a couple of cossus caterpillars out from under the bark. In general, the trip was heartfelt. A rough list of things that came to light:
Geometridae:
Biston strataria
Lycia hirtata
Apocheima hispidaria
Thyatiridae:
Achlya flavicornis
Noctuidae:
Anorthoa munda
Conistra rubiginea
C. rubiginosa
C. vaccinii
C. erythrocephala
Cucullia absinthii
Eupsilia transversa
Lacanobia suasa
Lithophane socia
Orthosia incerta
O. cruda
O. optima
O. cerasi

Segordnya climbed outside the city, very beautiful already, though quite hot. Because of the prolonged cold spring and the rather hot end of April, it turned out that many early April flowers have not yet faded, and May flowers are already blooming. As a result, there are still blooming adonis, dwarf irises, dream grass, tsymbokhazma, Scythian caragana, periwinkle are blooming and clematis, salt-loving irises, astragalus are preparing to bloom.
I was very surprised by the scale of the "geological processes": two years ago, at the site of the ravine in the picture, there was only a ditch a meter or so wide and the same depth, and now it is 5 meters wide and three meters deep! In another picture, the edge of the ravine, you can see that a bunch of "suckers" and blackthorn attacked there, and you can see that one tree is about to fall. A streamlet flows along the bottom, on the banks of which podaliriyas crawl. In general podaliriev, makhaonov, poliksen-darkness, as well as ka Ki whiteflies, nymphalids of different, even some yellow butterfly saw, not lemongrass and not dawn.
Of the birds I saw kestrels, steppe mounds, ravens, larks are full and all sorts of small birds, there are village swallows.
Well, the walk ended with a beautiful thunderstorm, which passed a little to the side, so I didn't get wet, but I watched a beautiful thundercloud and thunderclaps

Spoymal two scolopendra cingulata, queen camponotus ethiopicus, lizards for copperheads.
