And yesterday I gathered "trupolyubov" in the steppe. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot it...but Zhukov identified it correctly.

Cleridae:
Necrobia violacea

Dermestidae:
Dermestes frischii

Silphidae:
Necrophorus vespillo
Thanatophilus rugosus
Thanatophilus sinuatus

Histeridae:
Saprinus semistriatus

Question to Fornax which of these beetles is good?

And beetles - they're all good!!! Just specifically listed by you - not uncommon, common (the word "banal" I do not like).

Thanatophilus sinuatus itself picked up heels near the house yesterday (it was possible to have more, but did not become).
Even Silpha obscura is now full of muddles under my feet: I don't collect these comrades at all for a long time .

On May 4-8, I was in the Crimea (Bakhchisarai district, Rich Gorge village). I went with my wife, called everyone I could in Kharkiv, but no one wanted to keep me company.
It was hot and dry, I spent most of my time in the forest (mostly on beeches), I didn't really want to climb fields and clearings in the heat.

May 4th. We got to the village around lunchtime.
In the yard, in an old rotten cherry plum stump overgrown with mushrooms, there was a silkworm.



Under the bark of an aspen stump - a baby bird Platylomalus complanatus and a bark beetle.



Then my wife and I went out into the woods not far away. Literally immediately came across a broken aspen, still relatively fresh.




On an old willow tree, I examined the dry bark - I found a larva of some Reduviidae.



While we were in the forest, the sun was already beginning to sink behind the mountain, it became cooler, we walked a little around the field, examined the stones. Mostly ants, the ground was dry and cracked, and there were a few beetles.
I took them off at home, washed sand from the river, there was no time to dry them.

Crimea, May 4-8.
What was collected...

Crimea, May 5 (continued).
In the morning we went to the forest-to the beeches, in the area of the waterfall on the Suatkan river.
On the way, I first came across a broken aspen tree. Staphylin, Cerylon, and several Pediacus dermestoides.



Then we passed by old aspens, there are 3 huge trunks lying there, no longer the first freshness, I dug into them on my last trip (in September 2011). I didn't stay long, I decided to take a picture only of staphylline, who for some reason didn't want to run.


Soon they began to get closer to the waterfall. There were plenty of beeches, of course... but those who are in good health. There were practically no lying trunks. After a long search, I finally managed to get to a good place - there were several trunks lying nearby, apparently felled recently by the wind, slightly dried up, but still fresh at the base. I've been here about four hours....

Crimea, May 5 (continued)

Crimea, May 6 (continued).
Local men were going for a ride in the woods, somewhere far away in the mountains... We drove almost empty, in general, there was a place. I thought for a while about whether to go, after all, most of the time will have to be spent on wheels, you won't climb anywhere much, you won't dig into the trunks for a couple of hours... Still, I decided that it was worth a trip, not every day there is such a chance...

We start climbing the Kayak road.



After a short gentle ascent, the serpentine begins.



We turn onto the forest road.






A barrier blocks the road ahead, so that no one can go anywhere...


But "their" people will always have their own key...


And now we are already at an altitude of about 700 m.





A rich Gorge can be seen somewhere far below.






We went back somewhere in the afternoon, along the forest riding roads, and it turned out that we went down to the Rich Gorge just on the road past the waterfall, where we were only yesterday. A little higher than the waterfall, I noticed piles of logs scattered about a hundred meters from the road - it was impossible to miss this, especially since the road back is already familiar, you don't need to climb up, you only need to stomp down later. Yes, and there is a time, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon...

Crimea, May 6 (continued)

When I got closer to the logs, it turned out that they were quite fresh, someone here recently filled up several beeches, but they didn't have time to pick them up yet... Although in the evening I already knew whose job it was.

















At night, I was no years old, I once again got to the full moon. Although I'd had enough to do with the beetles for the night. If it was flying normally, I might have paid more attention to it, but as it is, there were usually 2-3 butterflies sitting near the lamp, I didn't even want to be distracted...

I didn't take it. Did you have to? Or what did you mean?" You only ordered Cetonia aurata, I brought you a couple.

Cool, thanks!

Just idle interest. Why is there no C. aurata in Kharkiv? I was hanging around in my city today, probably watching a dozen lilac trees. Interesting

There is. Where would you go without them?.. You can collect a bag...

12.05.2012 23:43, Kharkovbut

..Apparently, Arthur needs them from different geographical locations.

28.04.2012. I went back to the park.





There were a lot of dandelions. In the morning, they are more open.













Then I reached the hydroelectric power station, crossed the bridge and came to the right bank of the Dnieper on the peninsula near the village of Kazatskoye.
There was a lot of polyxene here.



I first met the bloody bear. It's nice to discover new insects.








04.05.2012. I went to the sands within the city limits. We, of course, are not as cool as in the Egorus report, they were, as I understood from the report, at the Kazachyelagerskaya Arena. There are no birch groves or lakes on the Kakhovskaya Arena, but a significant part of the sands is occupied by settlements, vegetable gardens, and pine forests. But still something runs and flies.









There were also blood bears, and a lot of them.







Well, the Burdock and Swallowtail flew by.

13.05.2012 11:43, Hierophis

Wow, Entalex, this is an event

Wave Storm, do you have vipers in the sand there?

So far, the drought has gained maximum momentum, it's just a nightmare, there are heavy rains all around, but nothing near the coast, only two days ago there were light rains. Almost the entire annual herbage is drying out, and the multi-year herbage has stopped growing and does not bloom.
In general, the vegetation has almost stopped, and somehow the insects have disappeared, almost nothing blooms, and what blooms, probably does not give nectar. Even on the acacia tree, the bees somehow do not fly together.
Now the situation should change, we will wait)))

13.05.2012 19:23, Hierophis

And on May 9, I walked around the places of military glory, in this beam that there were fights in the pictures, there are craters from shells, and the shells themselves sometimes come across.
Drought, drought and drought, and heat. In the morning, at 6 o'clock ok +25C..

Yesterday I went through the park again to the village of Kazatskoye in the so-called Nightingale Grove.
The dawns were flying away, but Polixena only saw one. But then there were other butterflies.
Park:

Nightingale Grove. It's usually more interesting here:







This is the first time I've met such a motley bird:















There are very few grasshopper thickets:



Prince Trubetskoy's Castle:






And I have a question: this photo is not dydima, right? This is trivia, isn't it?

And a large marigold.

How big is it? The big ones aren't supposed to fly yet. Although everything is going rather ahead of schedule.

It must have been maera or jurtina.
