Or maybe it's traditional-Bolitophagus reticulatus and Neomida haemorrhoidalis

yes, you are right, I looked under the binoculars and went through the keys, which is for sure,

Dropout rate. An epilogue...

And by any chance the third in the second row is not defined? 2.5 mm? It looks like a spangle, most likely from Epuraea of the melanocephala type. There are very similar ones, I've already installed them, but I don't dare call them names.

No one seems to have tried yet. Probably something from Epuraea sp.

I heard rumors that we have wingless moth flew...

Sometimes, the bear also flies...

Today and the next two days I am "burning" at the service, so it is unlikely that I will be able to look at such a wonderful phenomenon. Unless it's closer to the end of the week...

Weather more or less... sunny weather, light wind, temperature forecast +3. We were with Artur Shekhovtsov (Liparus).
For some reason, they didn't find wingless moths, although they tried. But the source of information is quite reliable, apparently they were looking for the wrong place or not so much.
But it was fun to sow in different places - both on the grass, and under groups of different trees, and a little in the forest. So far, of course, the results are preliminary.
Campylosteira verna (Fallen, 1826) (Tingidae), my first find.
Of the interesting ligeids-Taphropeltus contractus (5 pcs.), two short - winged Plinthisus pusillus-last time I also had my first (1 pc. each).
A couple of interesting podkorniks (clearly not Aradus betulae).
Naturally, beetles of different families, including several types of weevils.
In general, the dropout rate is normal, along the way I will throw it up...











It was me who went looking for grass (tenacious) for Tingis reticulata. Arthur found them here once, but he let me take pictures of them already glued on. And before that, in Kitsevka, he found one, but a little pokotsannaya.

"10 grand" was, did I guess?

I found them by tapping the branches.
I found one right on top of me after a walk in the woods.
And today, near my house, I saw a wingless female, though not a moth, but Deuterotinea casanella.

Agriopis budashkini Kostjuk, 2009. I came out of my chrysalis yesterday.
The caterpillar was collected on May 7 near Simferopol, in the city of Tash-Jorgan.

"10 grand" was, did I guess?

Not yet, just one. I only shot the first batch. Still of course I will look, I did not go through anything, only from above while I was looking.
By the way, I haven't even looked into your bag yet - come and sort it out...
By the way, there is also a cool weevil - you don't have one...

In Kherson this evening I saw a male wingless moth, most likely Erannis defoliaria, on a building. On light arrived.

Dropout, first batch. The process is still underway...

On the eve of the end of the 2013 season and with the forecast of several warm days in the Crimea, we took a small expedition to the Crimea on the initiative of Vadim "Shustov".
Very light Dryobotodes_carbonis, or ...

The coolest copy. How many of them have arrived?

This is the only one in the steppe, there is no oak tree for 10 km, and there were many ordinary ones in the mountains. Cook it?

I don't even know. You probably don't need to do this on purpose.

A small report.
Today I walked through the park of N. Kakhovka.
There are still insects, and flowers too.
t=12-13 gr. C

question to barry or Liparus.
I understand that by sifting the litter, you sift out large fractions, and bring home small ones, so I'm interested in how you choose beetles at home, by photo-eclecticism or drugoma?

A sieve with a mesh of about 5-6 mm (in our case). Although multi-stage sieves are also used in science, but we will not go deeper...
In general, in my little experience, I will say that the bulk of beetles climbs out by themselves. Let's say I have a dropout at home for several days, I occasionally look there and it turns out that something is sitting on top of it. But my method is based on my specifics. I don't need the whole mass of beetles at once, because I'm shooting... It is more convenient for me to take small portions, and let the rest live better there in the dropout. That is, I do not set a goal to immediately get them to the maximum.
Of course, when there is time, I sometimes go through it. But usually it's not immediately, not on the first day, but after several preselections that have come out on their own. The effect is usually close to zero, although there are still some who "don't want to climb out". And again, such a manual bulkhead does not give 100% results. If the dropout is still standing for a day or two, there may be someone else coming out. Even from relatively large and noticeable ones-such as Scaphidema metallicum, Pilemostoma fastuosa, Thyreocoris scarabaeoides, and Cathormiocerus aristatus... All of them got out after too much, although it would seem that they sorted everything out by grains.
The eclector was not used due to its absence, but I gave the last batch of dropouts from a week ago to the museum - there is some kind of eclector there... let's see what happens... I can't say anything yet.
The other day, I also talked with Yunakov about both the dropout samples and the technology of its subsequent processing. As I understand it, he has been practicing this for several years. Of course, he said that just a manual bulkhead will not do much, many beetles just stupidly lie there in the mud and the bulk remains in the dropout. You either need to use an eclector... he even showed it on video... but there is no secret here - there are enough constructions on the Internet. Well, or in everyday conditions, it is enough to warm up the dropout-spread it out thinly and hold it over the stove or heater. Many people get ahead of themselves and it will be much more efficient and faster than just sorting through...
Well, we must take into account that the time is not the best for sowing - the weather is not the best, everything is wet, it does not fall out as efficiently as from dry. Even experienced entomologists say that mentally balanced people do not sow at such a time... But, on the other hand, the effect is quite good, judging by our results. Although there is a plus in late-autumn sowing - beetles do not climb at the top, they go to winter in the litter...

thank you, because I also want to make a sieve and try to sow from next season.

Why postpone something that can be done today (well, at least tomorrow)? I generally started just with a piece of mesh, and right in the garden... and Arthur resisted for a long time, until he saw through all the fun of this event...

a sieve, yes, can be done now, but does it make sense to go to sow now, like frosts?

  "Dachi-2" - the series continues...

At night, there were terrible sounds-screeching.
Two weeks later, I checked and found the place where the sounds were coming from, moved the cabinet-there was a layer of styrofoam under it once, now there is sawdust, picked up the computer and found a larva in the course of the styrofoam-it chewed it, paving the course

It was 1 of the escaped larvae, under the bark of the oak otkovyryal. ,The second woodworm larva escaped on the balcony

Whether there will be more... have you looked in your sofa for a long time? No one ate any beetles there?

Well... there would be a desire. We sowed normally even in the rain. Not a single day was "empty"...

The whole season will never end. And at night it's already minus.
We have a tiny birch grove in our yard, maybe 5-6 trees. Among them today was found a large old mushroom, something like a pig, and at the bottom of the cap, on the edge of the plates, an elephant beetle! Moreover, he deigned to eat this mushroom, and ate a decent clearing around him. It turned out to be Trichosirocalus troglodytes (Fabricius, 1787).
What names, troglodytes, diabolicus...
By the way, Nosodomodes diabolicus was photographed at the request of the public two weeks ago. Sasha, find five minutes, send me some pictures!!

who are we talking about, the boxes of beetles or the barbels that sharpened the pine tree in my sofa?

   who are we talking about, the boxes of beetles or the barbels that sharpened the pine tree in my sofa?

I think that the range has already expanded significantly...

There is a first exit and the first new nice view!
The weather has completely gone crazy and Chisinau has finally warmed up. What will happen next is hard to imagine. The place is old-forest plantations on the southern outskirts of the city, lake "eight". In the cottonwood litter, there is a massive accumulation of large Paederus and some other small staphylinae of different subfamilies. It seems there are some new ones for me. In a leafy drainage ditch, a dozen Lebia cruxminor wintered, many Drypta dentata wintered, and a couple of Perigona (?) nigriceps wintered on the bank of a stream. In general, the litter is quite lively, numerous bedbugs, small cockroaches, leg-tails, mokits, spiders and so on have come to life. Ants.
I would not write about it, but in the stalk of a burdock, among the waste products of some larva (there was no larva itself), I came across Demetrias. With a very thin but clear stripe along the suture of the elytra. I have two species of this genus - D. imperialis and D. monostigma. The third species, D. atricapillus, is not listed for Moldova (the list of ground beetles of Moldova from Wikipedia), so I didn't count on it, although of course I had it in mind for the kit (I don't know any other Demetrias). At home, suspicions were confirmed, it turned out to be exactly atricapillus. I put all three views side by side - just like in the picture!
This is all well and good, but the fact that there is still no winter gave another unpleasant effect. A walk through the forest left a feeling of last year's long autumn. This is not yet a new season, with its fresh impressions, it is too long old

Good day!Have the first bug of the season!Crimea, Tubay gully,20.02.2014.
