short holiday trips around the region
one night caught the light-from large scales nothing interesting, a little micro was collected. Armigera is massive both day and night. Statiline flew into the world )

In the afternoon, I photographed the second generation of damone - there are not enough of them this year. Just like last time, one male took a fancy to my bag and posed on it. Along the way, I met Proto.

Scopula ornata

I even think it's Scopula decorata

2 Wave Storm
Spider-Argiope lobata
With a moth-yes, apparently decorata. What's not ornata, that's for sure.

Djon, okoem, I just looked at the sites with butterflies - but really decorata, thank you.

Today, on 01.09.2013, we went with Artur Shekhovtsov to the forest near the village of Russkaya Lozovaya (Kharkiv region). The weather these days was rainy, it was not clear what would happen today, in general, we got into the forest only somewhere around 16: 00.
Endomychus coccineus was found on two birch trees with mushrooms in the mass. Before that, they came across quite rarely and only in isolated instances. Arthur got himself a couple of hundred, by my estimate. On the same birches, there were quite a lot of Aradus (?)depressus larvae, although it was not easy to notice them, their color was disguised as bark. Only one adult bug, Aradus depressus, was found.
Tenebroides fuscus was also found under the bark of a birch tree, and Pyrrhocoris apterus (entirely red) was just hatched on the trunk.

Liparus, why do you need platitudes?

Liparus, why do you need platitudes?

I do not know whether I will make a picture out of butterflies, or whether I will start collecting a collection.

Liparus, why do you need platitudes?

Here are the banals, but somewhere for happiness.

I've been looking for Statelin in my area for 20 years now ... alas... most of the southeast has been combed...

Here are the banals, but somewhere for happiness.

That's the truth, that's the truth. Field mother-of-pearl does not seem to be a Red Book butterfly, but it is rare, and usually in single specimens, and here Liparus has as many as 8 of them! And the peacock's eye is even harder to find. Of course, it affects the fact that the entire area is plowed-plowed.

___

It's cold and raining right now. No butterflies in sight. I don't remember the beginning of September ever being like this.

in our region, all these types are common and are known from most locations. Statiline is only local. In pine plantations around Severodonetsk it is not uncommon, on the ridge it is common in some cretaceous gullies, and in some places on areas of stony steppe you can count more than 50 in an hour.

Tonight we went with Diletant to the Makarovsky district of the Kiev region, a mixed forest in the village of Komarovka. With the weather, like, lucky. The sun shone from 20.30 to 1.30 on one DRV-250, then it became cold.The age was average. As a result, of the interesting caught one fresh Drymonia obliterata and three specimens of Catocala fraxini, two of them are also fresh. There were about eight of them, but not all of them could be reached. The trip turned out to be spontaneous and was decided half an hour before departure, so the photos are not attached due to the fact that the camera was forgotten in a hurry at home.

More on the benefits of visiting relatives.
Today we were invited to dinner (cabbage rolls) to my wife's sister. Having in mind to combine the useful with the pleasant after the third glass, I went out into the courtyard (garden garden), and under a rotten apple I found a small bug. Already at home I tried it on-3.5 mm, quite quickly he decided-Trechus austriacus. For Moldova, only two degrees are indicated ( plus T. quadristriatus) but mine has well-defined posterior angles of the pronotum, and there is a photo, so it's definitely an Austrian. And then I thought, I didn't know anything about this beetle, I hadn't even heard of it, I hadn't looked for it, but I found it. And I was pleased-it was nature that changed with me for nothing, for nothing. No matter what we think, nature has the largest collection. And I don't say anything about fees at all.

Issoria latonia rare? Yes well, they are always full, and everywhere, and we and in the desert of your Day peacock eyes all the more full, so it's not enough because everything is plowed but because you need to climb everywhere more often

We went to a place where there was no rain according to the forecast-to Polesie in Zhytomyr region. The exact location was not determined beforehand, i.e. we will arrive somewhere.Here's what happened.

07.09.13 Zhytomyr region, Luginsky district, on the GCC from Pavlyukivka (N51°11 '17’
E028°36’30"), I. Kostyuk and V. Sergienko, 20-00 to 5-30, quiet, +17, mixed forest.
There are a lot of eardrums and diptera of all kinds. For a colleague, I took a pair of barbels, a small bronze karabus, a geotrup, and some aphodius, who will determine it, so I gave it to nechlyadya. Igor sibiralom micro for a colleague, too, was not enough. And here's what's on the macro-

The selected ones were caught by me for the first time.
A few photos from Kostyuk

Issoria latonia rare? Come on, they are always full, and everywhere, and we and in the desert of your Day peacock eyes are even more full, so it's not enough because everything is plowed, but because you need to climb everywhere more often

Yes, they climbed. This year, so far, there are 3 latonias in April. Then in May alone. In July and August, I often climbed, but there were no such things. And for the peacock's eye, you need to find large thickets of nettles and hops-forage plants. It doesn't grow very often in forests and woodlands.
But I found a place where angleflies regularly meet with admirals - the North Crimean Canal. They fly at the bait.

Do you have cho there!? mariana crawls all year round?

Usually in June-July, but here...

Do you have cho there!? mariana crawls all year round?

August 23 saw 2 copies. in the Vladimir region. I think I could have seen it yesterday if the weather had been warmer. This is so, for information.

I saw the "edge" on July 2, but this is during a cold spring, and usually mid-May - mid-jun

You have cooler weather and because of this, the climate is slightly shifted, but "Kharkiv reg." is located in slightly lower latitudes. Here's what surprised me

And zlatki are generally unpredictable. About the regions: in my opinion, they do not matter for the goldsmiths living on their territory. "Zlatka is a child of the sun" (J. A. Fabre) and the sun is the main thing for them. Please note when I caught the first mariana this year: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=1406978 (May 12). And the last one was seen on August 23. I hope that if I get out there tomorrow (I don't know for sure yet), I'll catch her again. The main thing is that the weather is favorable.
P.S. Once I collected other goldsmiths: Melanophila (s.str.) acuminata (Degeer, 1774) and Phaenops cyanea (Fabricius, 1775) as early as September 5 and in the mass. The weather then accompanied them and their years also begin in May and June. And Kharkiv is to the south: I think the autumn there is later than ours. Why shouldn't there be zlatkam

11.09.2013 with Artur Shekhovtsov were in Vasishchevo (Kharkiv region).

Has Harmony already occupied Kharkiv? I only caught the first one last year, although I've been collecting coccinellids for almost 20 years...

?Chrysomelidae sp. -- Podagrica menetriesi. The other one on your site is malvae.

I've never seen Harmony before.Harmony population larvae and imagos were found on the Bolotny Oak Tree. How do Podagrica menetriesi and malvae differ?

Yesterday in the entrance here is such a butterfly met:

It's not Erannis defoliaria by any chance?

And today I took a walk in the vicinity of N. Kakhovka. In the steppe, when the sun occasionally comes out, fly swallowtails, yellowbirds, whiteflies and pigeons. In general, everyone tries to hide from the strong wind.





On the spot near the sand pit where I met Scopul decorat last time, I came across another pyadenichka (I don't know what her name is):


Another surprise came across in the city, in the sandy steppe under the power line - Lampides boeticus. Beautiful butterfly!

No, it looks like Pelurga comitata (Linnaeus, 1758). Not E. defoliaria definitely.

  
On the spot near the sand pit where I met Scopul decorat last time, I came across another pyadenichka (I don't know what her name is):

Dyscia ?innocentaria

Dyscia innocentaria-Second moth

Dyscia innocentaria-the second moth

I failed

The other is what exactly is meant? Which is Podagrica fuscicornis?
http://barry.fotopage.ru/gallery/index_cla...p?category=2578
There are several for different dates...
Or menetriesi from Crimea?

Crimean - malvae, all Kharkiv - menetriesi. And try to look for fuscicornis on cultivated malvas, for example, in Kharkiv, or in the steppes on Lavathera. I only collected it in these conditions, but in your climate it may be different.
In malvae, the crown is almost always blackish, it is noticeably smaller. In Ukraine, mainly in the Crimea. menetriesi differs from fuscicornis primarily by its dotted prsp., which is almost the same size as on the ndcr. Fuscicornis has prsp points. much smaller than the ndkr. In addition, menetriesi often has darkened legs, which I have not observed in fuscicornis.

Everyone has no time to register on the site. Then I'll take a closer look:)

15.09.2013, Russkaya Lozovaya village.
Sorting junk in the basement, moldy rotten boards, etc.

On molds in the mass of Mycetaea subterranea (Fabricius, 1801).





(?) Rhyncolus reflexus. On a birch tree partially submerged in water. I even got the impression that one of the three found was located in the underwater part.




(?) Monotoma quadrifoveolata Aubé, 1837.
In decomposing apples.



(?) Xestobium rufovillosum.
In rotten wood (I would say pine).




And so far without versions, dried up...
