The sands are also in full bloom, and there are more satyrs than usual. I wonder what kind of white flower it is.

Well, finally I figured out my tracks, now not a big report on the trip to the Crimea, Alushta.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I found a twisted leaf on figs ( I never thought that fig leaves smell like cat urine), there was a jar on duty, I had to bring out Choreutis nemorana-fig molelistovertku.

9.07.2015

It turned out interesting with Choreutis nemorana.
On the beach, before noon, I went to the toilet saw a butterfly there and there was nothing to take it in, I came back after lunch fully armed and she was still sitting, oh how.

I found Caloptilia fidella caterpillars on hops.

Then I took a walk along the Ulu-Uzen River, which flows through Alushta, on the banks of which a huge amount of black alder(Alnus glutinosa) grows.


So on this alder I found mines Phyllonorycter sp.
Four Phyllonorycter species breed on this alder, but if we take into account that these mines are lower-sided, then most likely they belong to R. froelichiella or R. klemannella
(They are not listed on Volodya Savchuk's website)





Some strange exuvius(the upper part of the sheet is broken)

A couple of days ago, pine planting on the sand, I went to release a recently found swift; there were no daytime butterflies, it was late in the evening, well, at least I noticed some "moth". It's good that I didn't pass by - it turned out to be not a simple fireball - Metallosticha argyrogrammos - I see it for the second time.
And caterpillars from some Schargacucullia? small ones still.

In my opinion, this is something out of the micro. Already adult caterpillars. A cuckoo of this size would have a much larger head in proportion.

25-27. 06. 2015 Odessa region Ananyevsky district, Novoivanovka village district. We went with Volodya Kiselyov-Opas and Maxim Leshchenko-Musson Max. Roads there of course pi ... ets. Caught on the outskirts and inside the ghostly deciduous forest. The weather was fine, the summers intense. Only one scoop Emmelia trabialis probably flew a thousand! We caught more fish at night than during the day. There were a lot of hawkmoth - linden, oak, lilac, medium and small wine, bindweed, euphorbia, bedstraw, sea buckthorn. We caught 5 males of Dolbina elegans in two nights. In Ukraine, they expanded its range slightly to the east. From tufts Drymonia querna, Harpya milhauseri, Ptilodon cucullina well, and all sorts of Phalera bucephala and Stauropus fagi. We caught interesting scoops-Lamprosticta culta, Hecatera cappa, Epilecta linogrisea, Periphanes delphinii, Catocala hymenaea. From the beetles flew a lot of small carabids, which climbed into the ears, by the scruff of the neck, in general brr. Of the larger ones, there were many Calosoma auropunctata. Potosia aeruginosa flew, even climbed the oak tree behind them, but alas. Photos from your phone. I left my camera at home, and Max will hopefully add a card to his Photo of insects.

And today, 28.07.15, in the Kherson region, I was in a new place for myself, another wet forest near the village of Sagi in the east of the city of Tsyurupinsk. Here, as in the forest near the village of Solontsy, the sandy steppe is adjacent to meadow vegetation and forest. The forest is mostly alder with swamps, only occasionally poplars and willows are found.

On butterflies-in comparison with Solonets somehow weak was: neither golubyanka alcet, nor tolstogolovka Morpheus, nor tolstogolovka dash, nor lemongrass, nor galatea I did not meet. Maybe this is due to the heat. I fried myself today. There are a lot of spiders, webs and clings to the hands, clothes and face, and even mosquitoes do not sleep. In the photo there is a red dragonfly, it was beating in a web. I felt sorry for her and pulled her out. She fell into the grass.

The most widespread species of butterflies are turnip and rutabaga whiteflies; cow's eyes and pamphylia sennits are also common. Pontius Aeduses were rare. Hyponephele lupina isn't here either. From nymphalids-1-2 Polygonia c-album in the thickets of hops with nettles, 1 admiral, several mother-of-pearl pandora, 1-2 checkers Phoebe. There were 3 species of egg yolks (alfacariensis, erate, crocea). Of the thickheads-Erynnis tages and some other one that seemed interesting to me, but did not allow itself to be photographed normally (there is one photo). Of the pigeons, there are several Celastrina argiolus, but it is difficult to say about the rest, because I am confused with their definition. In my opinion, I have 2 Aricia agestis, and 4 Polyommatus thersites in the photo.

Wave Storm, a wonderful walk! I didn't make up my mind today, we had some rain in the afternoon. And the place is quite appropriate. Solonets, so it is possible that prichna is in the heat, you may need to go out earlier, but in general, the heat should go away soon
Very good location

Yes, just this morning I noticed that they started making a spider web cover and are preparing to pupate. So if everything goes well , I'll write down who it was.

Everything turned out to be simple-Paracorsia repandalis, although the first copy of the imago (in addition to the caterpillars, there was also a pupa) he disappeared, not wanting to leave his photo.


Today, passing through the pines and sands.
Dry, almost all faded - only scabiosa still attracts scales. In such areas fly satirids (Hyponephe lupina, Coenonympha pamphilus, Maniola jurtina), b-m xerophytic pigeons Lycaena tityrus, Lycaena thersamon, Plebejus argus), fireflies (Loxostege delibatica, Platytes alpinella), the rest is smaller (Issoria lathonia, Pontia edusa, Laspeyria flexula).
Statilin - go first!

Lupins

Tityrus

Deliblatika

14 cold!? Here you are a bourgeois.
And what is the butterfly in the bottom photo in the middle?

You quickly get used to the good stuff when it's +23-25 and three layers of biomass )) That's when it seems that +14 is a bit cold
