Yes, coolly ventilated

One clarification and a couple of photos from me.

Clarification regarding the swimmer - it's still Dytiscus dimidiatus (caught 2 males and one female)



And a couple of photos:

Well, how much birch sap? Or was it just my imagination?

The juice is not ours, it is in one passing kolke hung with a dozen bottles of 1.5 and 2 liters, at least half are filled, the maximum is overflow.

the elephant there is Brachysomus echinatus

What a calm and sunny day))) In the park, of course, it's cool, but next weekend the hike is all business, not a single early dawn will remain at such a pace in the steppe, How can you go to parks at such a time?

And who said that I put absolutely everything on the forum?

And what's the fun of not posting? Or are you afraid that the pictures will be stolen and no money will be paid?

I sat down to write a report, and the earthquake started. At first, it was a bit shaky, but now it's just swaying. I'll unsubscribe later.

Nifiga itself almost 5 points!!!! We didn't have anything yet

The fact that for me personally there is no fun to spread everything in a row. Especially if the trip was unsuccessful on insects or the photos did not turn out well.

This is the area of Vrancea in the Carpathians, often shakes, this year is not the first time.
There are a lot of beetles, I started to identify them and it stalled. I was particularly pleased to find Psammoecus bipuncatatus (Fabricius, 1792) (Silvanids), already familiar from Barry's reports, but I thought that the animal was still larger. Right now I'll start defining the rest, maybe tomorrow something else will be added. Then I'll write it in two days.
And the mood is good, a strong house was built by Soviet builders. How springy he was!!

So far, only field images. There is still a dropout, I haven't sorted it out yet...

Saturday. It's a shame to admit, Chisinau again, forest plantations again, lake, south-north wind, confident. In the reeds, at the water's edge, in the coastal clusters of leaves, there are a lot of all sorts of different beetles. Three new species were taken - the already mentioned Psammoecus bipuncatatus, as well as Bradycellus csikii and Bembidion dentellum from ground beetles. I might be able to spot some small pterostiches, a couple of amaras and agonums, but I don't believe in these at all. In addition, two Lepirus capucinus, one Badister sodalis, Notaris scirpi, and Chrysolina sanguinolenta were removed from the wild. And something else for small things. Nothing serious was found, and it was not possible to repeat Chlaenius tristis. But now I know he's here, and he's not the only one.
Still, I thanked the spirits of the woodlands, three new species for coming out is not bad at all.

This weevil is a very interesting thing. It belongs to the subfamily Cossonidae and is similar to Hexarthrum exiguum (Boheman, 1838), but it should be shown to specialists...

Good day everyone!
Latest report from 27.03.2014.
I bought a generator and decided to try it out. I quickly made a frame for the screen, made of aluminum
tubes(an old cornice), took a sheet (it was lying in a closet in the garage) and waved to the forest, to
my "hunting" grounds.
Fishing place: Belarus, Grodno region, Zelvensky district, 1.5 km east of d. Voronichi
is located approximately 4-5 km west of Zelva. The edge of a mixed forest (oak, birch, aspen, pine) along the railway track t +10, there was no wind protically.
From the flown ones:
Endromis versicolora - 2экз.

Odontosia sieversii-pts. many

Agriopis leucophaearia-och. a lot
of Ectropis crepuscularia - in small quantities

Brachionycha nubeculosa-och. many
Orthosia cruda-many
Orthosia gothica - many
Orthosia opima -many
Orthosia populeti -many
Conistra vaccinii -1 specimen.

These could also be shown
We don't have any, but we'll be happy for you.

The screen turned out well, on a quick hand, now you will drive with it for several years.

I was going quickly, I didn't look at charging in the photo option, the batteries were dead.
Already on the stretcher.There were still a couple of shovels and a shovel, it is necessary to determine, I will not say on a whim.





The screen was made in a couple of hours. At 17:20 I came home from work, at 20:10 I turned on the flashlight.

Boris, what do you take pictures of them all the time? and you are not afraid of glare, do you light up with a lamp?

10-looks like someone from the aderidae
12-Omias verruca

Washed sand.
And the light is a built-in flash with a diffuser.

Based on my past adventures, I have developed a kind of final material here...

Artur Shekhovtsov-biography pages

Last fall, the bug Leptoglossus occidentalis was found near Chisinau in all holes where you can spend the winter. A fresh abandoned hornet's nest is packed with about ten of them, and it just fits in the cell. I've never seen such people before, so I'd like to pay attention. The exterior is exotic for our places. Right now I read about it, and indeed, it is found near pine plantations or right in them.

By topic. Practice proves that everyday life is not a hindrance for a slacker. The time has come when any smooth, bright surface in the city turns into an open showcase of urban entomology. And yesterday, on the fence of trolleybus park No. 2, spoymans Oulema rufocyanea, some Ceutorhynchus from curcula were also found, but there are ten options, plus several unidentified seaton and Ischnomera caerulea from Oedemeridae. These are all new species for me.
There are no boundaries to the Zhukov variety

In general, I decided this afternoon to go for food, woodlice to collect a little.. And there
EVERYTHING!!! Life is coming into its own, everything is flying, buzzing, singing, jumping, grasshoppers are hatching - darkness, as if the dust has suddenly become bouncy, blackbirds are running everywhere,
polyxenes, latonias, piles of whiteflies are flying, moths are full, scoops and moths are being scared out of every blade of
grass, all sorts of caterpillars are crawling, both fat and fluffy, and with thorns,
the hum of bees, the singing of larks, already the beetles have begun to eat cakes,
summer
Lapchatki everywhere are blooming, rindery are blooming, adonis still continue to bloom, although it is noticeable that many leaves were caught by frost, but in general, they hold on perfectly, sometimes even naaamno worse, irises are blooming, and apricots are blooming!!! A lot of flowers on apricots of course turned black in the steppe, and the ovaries disappeared, but there are a lot of live ones, and a lot of such flowers that are only now blooming. In general, apparently, in the conditions of the city, the apricot harvest should be no less than last year's, in the steppes it will most likely be mainly on the tops of trees. But I was to the north, it is necessary to look even closer to the sea, there may be lower ovaries all alive, after all, about 35 km distance.
