Crimea, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova

were the bembidions active? or under rocks/logs?

All in the litter and under the rocks.But bambi are quite active.

And last night in Kharkiv I saw Notonecta glauca under a street lamp, flying.

On Sunday, I went to our desert for mushrooms, the temperature was OK +18C, but it was overcast and at first quite windy. There were very few animals, except for a bunch of roe deer, I saw Vanessa atalanta, jaundice, a lot of dragonflies, ants were active, tarantula burrows were open.

Now, alas, it's getting colder, up to +13 in the afternoon, +7 in the morning

And in the trees, if anything, not nests at all, but witches ' brooms!

And what is this beetle on Veselka???

I think it's Dorcus paralellopipedus. Once in an unusual habitat ("desert"), I grabbed the only thing familiar from my native forests - a mushroom

Yes, it is very similar, usually they are massively found in our oak forests, but this one seems to have flown in on the smell, this fungus generally attracts a lot of insects, but mainly small midges.

And do you often have dorcus trees there in November?

I think I found them even in January, as I understand it, they winter in the form of imagos, so sometimes they fly on warm days. In the meantime, November is quite warm, there have not even been any frosts on the soil yet...

the day before yesterday I went for a walk, rode a bike, and so - a bunch of yolks flying, dragonflies, full of flowering plants, including bruise blooms, daisies, all sorts of legumes and even cornflowers!!! Yolks are mating with might and main, the grass has grown, well, it's like spring for you, I haven't seen such greenery all summer, because there was a drought.
Well, of course, mushrooms are growing with might and main for now.
From Wednesday of next week, the first morning frosts may already be possible, up to-3C

You're a sadistic little boy! We have, you know, the snow cover is being established, and his butterflies are soaring! Eh....severogondurasovo....

Today seems to be the last day of autumn, tomorrow is fucking winter, but Heaven gave us a gift
This morning it was OK +15 and in the afternoon up to +17C, and the most important thing is clear! True, the wind was quite strong, so there were not many butterflies flying, but they were! And not only















But in such a bush, very prickly, THEY live - they are quite avid collectors of insects, it turns out, they like coleoptera most of all, but they also collect straight-winged ones. True, they take a more rational approach to this, and pre-copies of their collections are slightly, um, eaten) And then, as it should be, the collection is left to children by inheritance, only, as it happens, they do not need it nafik ))))





Here are such mansions.. The nest is built quite strongly, the web mesh is reinforced with pieces of earth, fragments of plants and chitinous shells of victims. Only those nests that are made in the prickly branches of the shipshina remain intact, and if there are not enough branches, then the nest is destroyed and eaten by someone, but it is not clear why, is it not for the sake of cocoons and "collection", and the animal that eats these dry black bodies does not dig



And here is part of the collection The material is much better than that of AGG

I was surprised myself, but yes, there are also erect wings, and quite a few. However, the trill was heard only once and that's all.



Alfakariensis or hyale??? ))))))))))









And here there is a butterfly, and a scoop, and it occupies a fairly large area of the frame)









Plants are blooming, even onosma, being already dried up, decided to take the chance, grew young shoots from her dry stems and bloomed! That's how it happens!



And this fly met the end of the season and its demise on the inflorescence of "porridge"... She died clutching a flower with her hind legs, and lifted her front legs up, a rather ambiguous gesture, probably asking for warmth, and the warmth came, but it was too late

In general, there were not very many animals, it could have been more, if not for the summer drought, and as a result - the lack of standards at all. grass cover. A lot of spiders and ladybirds were running around, various small moths were flying, but rarely, literally, one millimeter per square meter. It was often seen how some butterfly, like a scoop, or a moth, took off, but the wind instantly blew it over the event horizon. I even saw one murmur. And in the shady places mosquitoes attacked, clearly not kuleks, but more like a snapper.

gamma - will fly as long as it is warm

December 1, Ukraine, N. Kakhovka, peski, cloudy, sometimes raining, 17-18 degrees of heat.

Rosemary-leaved willow (in my opinion)


Thyme of the Dnieper


From insects got into the frame here are these:



They missed the shot: small flies, another sleepy ladybug, two micro-butterflies that were lost in the grass. Unfortunately, there were no mottled butterflies at all. I probably should have gone somewhere other than Pisky.

In Kishlano For the last two days, the most catchy place is trolleybuses. Every little thing has warmed up and is crawling on the windows (from the inside). Bedbugs, tskadki, eardrums, aphids of some kind. A lot of Harmonia axyridis, but with their diversity, only large forms, orange with black spots, appeared. And I caught myself Adonia variegata, nothing special. Well, I didn't have one.

Wave Storm, in cloudy weather, go anywhere - you won't see many people anyway. This is only at night, if you catch the light, then someone will fly in.
Personally, I would go to the forest, for mushrooms

In general, you have places there! In the middle of the river is the island of tipma Khortytsia, but it looks much better, with a wet forest and meadows and a lot of driftwood, grass frogs are probably found, on the other side there is a steppe in Shilova gulch-you can see a lot of runners, on the other side there is a desert with vipers, and pine plantations! Climb - don't climb!!!

Hmm, we had a sunny day, 15 degrees of heat-but there are not many insects-quite a lot of various diptera, and that's all. Well, then there are the spiders. All.

Kharkovbut, so probably it's within the city limits

Kharkovbut, so it's probably within the city limits

Formally in the city limits, but there is nature, the floodplain of the Uda River, and in the season there is a lot of everything. I wasn't scratching on the ground - maybe someone was crawling there. But the erect wings are not marked, the dragonflies are frozen (the wintering ones did not fly out), there are no butterflies either... Maybe I was unlucky.

Yes, Hierophis, I dream of getting to both Shilova Balka and Plavni. But I don't have a car, and it's inconvenient to go somewhere for night fishing without it. And I don't have any friends who would be interested in entomology in my field.

Wave Storm, but why the car? I go to you, to your surroundings, by train and then almost everywhere buses go. But this is of course very inconvenient now, I last time, in the 10th of November, barely left back, and then on a ride. On the island of course, probably only in plav you can get, and in the beam and the desert you can get there anyway.

Yesterday, Bary and I visited a forest in Russkaya Lozovaya (Kharkiv region). In general, I added cool riders to the collection, and Barry took Photos.

In addition, there are Insects...

And I also found a suspicious plot in the area of the Lozovaya River:
https://maps.google.ru/?ll=50.137896,36.248...033023&t=h&z=16
Whether (?) chalk, or swamps and reflected clouds - I do not understand... In any case, it is worth visiting there sometime.

It's not chalk. I think it's ice. There's a low place right next to the stream... It looks like an early spring photo on this section; just west of the highway is the junction point, and everything is already green to the east, but to the west - alas.

Why such confidence in the definition of ichneumonids? How was it determined?

diffuser: hand made & exclusive

Yeah, the diffuser is super! I love this technique... A diffuser from a doshirach trough, a lens placed on scotch tape...
Supermacrotechnics is obtained from a regular soap dish

This is nothing but a nest, cocoons and remnants of the Karakurt meal...

I agree! Not everyone could tell.

I agree! Not everyone could tell.

Probably just chased away by the key in Green?
Without a visit to the reference collection and consulting a specialist, the probability of correct detection especially in the ichneumoninus subfamily is less than 10%!

So I decided to add a photo
