European part of Russia

As always, Ryazan region, Kasimovsky district, Gus-Zhelezny. There is simply nothing to catch during the day, the end of the season is near
The first two nights - on the light in the yard, the moon in the last quarter, partly cloudy, +13...+15. C. fraxini flew, completely fresh, while C. fulminea still flies. C. electa arrived again, but C. nupta was not there (one red-winged tapeworm missed the sheet and ran away). A set of yellow-winged scoops after 24-00 (N. interposita, N. pronuba, N. fimbriata-check, pliz, who is what ). There are a lot of scoops with a net pattern and a long striped belly, in my opinion, Tholera decimalis). [attachmentid()=69038]
The gorse moth Scotopteryx moeniata and some other moth arrived for sdi (see photo).
[attachmentid()=69032][attachmentid(right)=69033]
Closer to 2 o'clock in the morning - a couple of either Plusia festucae, or Plusia putnami. Please enlighten me. And two more Hyles euphorbiae-fresh, but what they eat (almost all burned out already), I have no idea... Overall, it was a weak year.
Between nights - visit the oak grove, where in previous years C. sponsa and C. promissa were found en masse. Alas, after the survey of 50 oak trees, only one specimen was caught.
Last night. Together with the vicgrr that arrived, they caught the light in the oak grove with the hope that the coveted katokals would still fly to the light. Because the congress is on the nose, alas, only one sponsa flew in (another one spun high and escaped), but it's a hefty one. At the same time, the entire screen was covered with hornets, and only T. decimalis and yellow moth with toothed wings flew in relatively marketable quantities. By logical inference, I assume that Ennomos quercinaria. The camera was not taken with you, so the pictures will only be taken by vicgrr on your return.
Finally, S. pinastri caterpillars were found on young pines. Surprisingly, the butterflies finally just finished their years, and the caterpillars look already at the last age I watched them, it seemed that they feed by scraping the top layer from pine needles.[attachmentid()=69031]

Spread it out and take a close-up picture.

For sdi, the gorse moth Scotopteryx moeniata and some other moth arrived..

apparently aplocera plagiata

Vo, damn it! I never get tired of wondering how these butterflies run everything! Here in beetles: larvae of closely related species have common "features in appearance". But these" relatives " of Acronis are completely different! Externally, except for the typical "worm-like" shape - well, nothing in common!

Yes. Especially if you remember what the caterpillar Acronycta alni looks like.

Nothing special, but since I was sitting and taking pictures of something, it's a sin not to share the result for statistics

Yesterday again sat under the lamp DRV-160 at the dacha in Murmino, Ryazan region.
It was cool and not very old. Hawthorn cocoonworms flew (and 1 herbaceous one somehow miraculously still came), there were noticeably more Staurophora celsia and less Tholera decimalis.
2 Nupts arrived. And at 11 o'clock, a gang of three young foxes dragged in, which was dispersed by whistling, swearing and threatening gestures. True, they are not afraid of much. A neighbor, for example, recently stole a mobile phone in a leather case. She was lucky: the mobile phone on the road after 20 meters fell out, but the case sank into oblivion. My polyurethane sneaker was stolen over the weekend. What to do with the other one now, I don't know In short, a gang - it is a gang.
At 12 o'clock I went to bed, leaving the lamp hanging on the shed for the night. In the morning, there were 2 fresh fox paw prints on the screen almost at waist level. I wonder who this hrundel managed to lick off the screen? Most likely, some kind of catocala. In the morning, ennomos and cocoonworms appeared on the screen, and two C. fraxini were hiding in the barn.
A sample list of what I remembered or photographed is below.
All 1-2 copies, in the mass only sericealis and decimalis, well, celsia was about a dozen.

Trichiura crataegi

Ennomos autumnaria

Aporophyla ?lutulenta
Catocala nupta
Catocala fraxini
Eurois occulta
Hypena proboscidalis
Mniotype satura

Staurophora celsia
Tholera cespitis

Xanthia icteritia
Xanthia togata

UPD: I remembered a couple more:
Aplocera plagiata
Abrostola tripartita/triplazia - I haven't learned to distinguish them yet

And to me on Friday evening here is such a veteran fraxini flew in.
And in the morning, she was still sitting on the screen. I drove her away, so she flew to the northern part of the fence and stayed there until the evening

Last weekend I caught the light. Murmino, Ryazan region, DRV-160.
From about 21: 00 to 24: 00, the lamp was left for the night, but in the morning from what was not until 24 hours, there were only Ennomos autumnaria and Trichiura crataegi; and celsia's main mass arrived after 24: 00.
In principle, there was nothing interesting, I didn't take many photos, mostly just recorded them. From 28 to 29 all the time very light rain, approx. 15 degrees. The next night is clear and 1-2 degrees warmer.

Just beetles for something... On weekends, I went to the Yaroslavl region, for Pereslavl-Zalesky, Msharovo village for cranberries, cranberries, mushrooms.

At night from 4 to 5 September caught with a generator. The bright moon determined a rather sluggish year, but something flew in, in parentheses the number:

Two more banal barbels flew in.

The next night I was at the dacha (83 km Yar. sh.), I didn't have the strength to catch, at 12 o'clock I went to bed. Everything is about the same, without catokalas, volnyanok and pyadenits, but the bedstraw hawk moth arrived, quite fresh. Also, some barbel flew in and in the morning he took off a banal bronze cap on the flowers.

What a mustache, I don't stick it in. Saperda what?

What a mustache, I don't stick it in. Saperda what?

I'm in beetles much worse than you are in butterflies, someone help

What a mustache, I don't stick it in. Saperda what?

And what's there to stick - the murdered Saperda carcharias

similis.

brown pair-Criocephalus rusticus
and barbel svm-Trichoferus campestris

similis.

Not, after all, a male carcharias.

it looks like there are no teeth

And it just seems to me that there are teeth, although it is difficult to say from this photo, it would be necessary to have the tops of the elytra more honorable, then there would be nothing to argue about.

No wonder, in general, the moon shone so that 15 meters from the DRV-160 lamp, the shadow from the lamp was inferior in clarity to the shadow from the moon
I turned on the lamp for both nights, but I didn't even put up a list: just banalities, nothing interesting at all.

Yeah, you could read in the moonlight, it was just disgusting. The only bright spot was a dozen Staurophora celsia. They just didn't come to me in previous years. C. fraxini - 3 pieces and very broken. There were no other tapes. The only thing that bothered me was some kind of black dustpan with white windows on the rear fenders. Similar to Catephia alchymista, but not the same season, like... Unfortunately, I didn't have time to catch it, it went off the screen.
By the way, I notice that with the onset of autumn, the non-punctured DRL is getting worse. Not that there are fewer arrivals, but the butterflies don't stay on the screen for long. Last night, I added an ultraviolet germicidal lamp to the DRL. But I didn't feel any radical changes.
Beetles-flew a pair of brown barbels like sdi and a hefty dung beetle, the size is more than 2 centimeters.
I spent two days fighting a hornet's nest under the roof. The nest is some kind of non-standard-in the form of a long sausage (see 50) with a wavy structure of the outer shell. Eliminated, the larvae were allowed to feed on fishing, however, without much success. The total number of adults etched by dichlorvos in the nest is up to 1000, with a yellow-black carpet on the ground. I'll attach the photos later, if anyone is interested.
I apply it. The nest was located under the roof of the porch in a sort of rectangular box, bounded by boards. The approximate size of the cavity in cm is 50x10x20, the volume was almost completely filled with the nest.

You are welcome. I edited my message and inserted a photo. What kind of os is this?

Tomorrow I will take a picture and place it, but in my opinion the top of the elytra is sharp.

Like V. vulgaris

Here's a better picture

yes, carcharias

Yes, carcharias

Is it wrong (wet)?

Yes , it is not wet, but grated. Perhaps September is already in the yard, so many do not live.

It is clear that it is dry, and I would not say that grated, female Criocephalus rusticus is much worse. It's just that the topography of his elytra is so rough.

Normally, the elytra of this creeper are covered with a grayish-yellowish coating; in the photo, its remains are visible on the sides of the elytra. But after a long life, this plaque in this instance was erased. And the relief of the elytra is of course rough, it is not erased.

All Saperda (s. l.) who have been repeatedly exposed to rain, as well as in other scrapes, like this late-arriving and well-worn Saperda carcharias, become dark and similar to each other. A similar situation, if you overexpose them in a softener, the hairs stick together and the color disappears, alas, irreversibly. And in this instance, the hairs are generally erased, a bald sculpture of elytra is visible.

Yes, thanks. I know that,and that's why I asked the question. It is better to edit such insects right away (if you add them to your collection, of course).

very interesting Today saw obdertogo (flight, burnt out)male Apatura ?iris

Ground beetles such as Drypta dentata and Chlaenius decipiens turn blue if they are overexposed in a stain with ethyl acetate,and the longer they lie there,the bluer they turn,while Elephants of the genus Phyllobius also turn blue (if they are stained for a long time).

Belated and brief report. <url>.Gus=Zhelezny region, August 12-14.
One of the most memorable things in the afternoon:
- fresh female Macroglossum stellatarum on phlox, I don't know if it's local or stray. The neighbor says she sees them often. I've only seen such large specimens in the Caucasus;
- Sphinx pinastri caterpillars - three weeks ago they were lively and cheerful(see fishing reports) and now they are eaten by larvae, probably tahini (one is visible in the photo);
- although not an insect, but a beautiful spider-Argiope bruennichi

I only sat at night until 1 o'clock, so probably the moon didn't have time to get out. Quiet, up to 10-12 degrees, haze. Years - so-so. Without definition, I post what I managed to shoot and catch. There are no forces, no time, no wealth of knowledge to determine. If anyone will take the trouble, I will be grateful, I will check my meager knowledge at the same time. The degree of rarity is interesting.

raspberry patch in September? 0_o wow!!!! You need to blow your genitals - you never know another kind.. And the fact that raspberries in September would be strange.. Although what you will not see in our time)

Okay, I don't understand something....
What's this, then?"

Okay, I don't understand something....
What's this, then?"

I guess it was taken in May, but where?
Most likely, this is Phyllometra culminaria.
Possibly also P. teneraria, but it flies in the Tianshan Mountains.

Yes, indeed May. Bogdinsky-Baskunchaksky district, Astrakhan region
