Report from the weekend. On June 5, we were on the island of.Sarpinsky on the Volga River near Volgograd. In the mass of C. asiaticus, S. meridianus, there are many hawthorns. I came across a few monochamuses in a small artificial pine stand. On June 6-7, I was in the Volga-Akhutba floodplain, deer beetles began to come across larger ones, I haven't found any females yet, I was pleased with several photoskaehleri and A. moshata, quite rare in our area. Almost everything is on oak trees with leaking sap. The first akimerus flew to the wine bait, though already with a damaged whisker and elytra.

Yesterday I went to the dacha in Murmino, like to water the garden, yeah

Of course, I couldn't resist sitting under the lamp until 2 o'clock, although at 6 o'clock there is a strict rise.
From 23rd it flew very well, it was warm. I didn't look at the thermometer, but it feels like it's at least 15 degrees. I didn't have time to take pictures, mostly I caught all sorts of small moths that I hadn't been able to reach before.
Kossuses flew in (I took one), erminei (I couldn't resist taking off one clean one, although I vowed not to take them anymore).
Geometra papilionaria and Chlorissa viridata flew en masse. One by one - Hemithea aestivaria, Thetidia smaragdaria and, it seems, Pseudoterpna pruinata-I killed the greens and put them in a separate jar so as not to discolor, the jar remained in the trunk, only in the evening I will clarify who is sitting there

A lot of L. opis - this year they fly here more often than marginata, although before I only met them 2 times.
I missed one, I'm sorry - I think it was Dysstroma citrata. It's a shame, I just didn't have it

I still managed to take some photos in between:

Cossus cossus

Eupithecia abietaria - and maybe analoga, of course. I'm leaning towards the first option. Especially since the analogue, it seems, eats Christmas trees, and we have only pine trees around. I would like to plant a Christmas tree in the country, but you won't find them anywhere in the area.

Eupithecia_venosata - this is the first time I've seen it

L. salicis-a man, as I understand it?

Pterapherapteryx sexalata

Here is such a painted M. wauaria - I didn't even recognize it right away.

Everything is fine, but I want to sleep now, and I have to spread the fruits of my greed before nightfall

Yesterday I turned on the split DRL 250, in the yard (Rostov region, Azov district, Chumbura village). I turned it on at 23: 00 and in a couple of minutes the first scorers arrived and then everything was in a row.
I caught it before 2: 00, but the screen was visited periodically.
Collected mostly ground beetles.

From interesting finds:
- all sorts of "little things" that sometimes give surprises;
Brachinus with a red prishchitkovym spot. I haven't looked at it in more detail yet, but it may be B. alexandri (!);
- Cymindis sp.
picture: 1.jpg

It was the third attempt to catch the light – the most successful.
In the previous two weeks, butterflies and mosquitoes had been killed. There weren't many butterflies this time, but there were plenty of mosquitoes and staphylin.

[ Stephanopachys sp. (Family Bostrichidae) - pupae under the bark of spruce-hatched;

Continuation of the report for June 4-Stephanopachys were removed, S. linearis was found. I also checked the soil traps placed on the bank of the Volga River for C. cancellatus. The result is from the ground beetles of banala: Pterostichus nigrita, P. anthracinus, P. oblongopunctatus... From interesting things, one copy at a time. Nebria rufescens and Aegialia sabuleti.
Anthrenus went to practice, Dmitrich to his relatives, so all weekend I had to get wet alone in the surrounding forests. Mostly background species came across, but I collected a small series of the grinder Cacotemnus thomsoni, cutting it out of the trunk of a spruce tree and broke the knife... Also, under the bark of a pine tree, I found a female Arhopalus rusticus, which is unusually early.
During the week with Max Klepikov, on June 9-10, we went to Svyato-Alexievskaya Pustyn (Pereslavl district), to help organize entomological research for high school students and to get acquainted with the Desert museums. The weather was not favorable for mass gatherings - mostly banals were found from beetles, a couple of soft - bodied ones (I didn't determine them in the stain...) and a black-legged and black-backed form of the May beetle are interesting. Max collected some kaya micra from the butterflies, and a lot of poplar tapeworms and hawthorns in the mud from the daytime ones. They also found the remains of a large interesting caddis fly - Semblis phalaenoides (according to Gornostaev). From biological observations, three attempts to mate males of Phyllobius pyri with females of Byctiscus betulae (photo in the branch: Photos of interactions). I really liked the museums: there are collections of insects (mostly tropical and not labeled, but there are also Russian collections. including forumchan, for example Bomki...). And in addition a couple of frames...

Well, we've reached the report... Ryazan region, Kasimovsky district, Gus-Zhelezny. June 11-14=4 days and three nights. The first and last days are cool, and the first night is also cool. The rest - heat, night from 13 to 14 at 2: 00 temperature 24 gr. Caught mainly in pairs with Victor-vicgrr. I'm tired as a dog

So I'll only bother with Latin if I remember it

The purpose of the trip is C. palaeno and the accompanying swamp joys, the female L. populi, since this year it is a mass species, everything else.
By day, in short, there is already everything that is supposed to be on time and, even, more. Only apollos haven't been hatched yet. L. populi is very plentiful: males have noticeably thinned out since last weekend, while females are mostly fresh picture: DSC00288.jpg

L. camilla - a lot, since last weekend it has become even more. Mass flight of A. ilia (so far only males).Aglai and niobe mother-of-pearl and xanthomelas have already flown. picture: DSC00276.jpg

Separate conversation about egg yolks. A small number of fresh C. myrmidone fly in standard yellow-orange coloring, but on one of the glades there were several specimens of flown females, about which I have some strange doubts - not quite standard white spots on the border of the upper wings and a bluish-gray tone of the underside of the wings. Or is it, after all, a form of alba? picture: DSC00291.jpg

C with. palaeno is also interesting. First, butterflies leave the blueberry swamp immediately after hatching and go to the surrounding dry clearings and clearings where there are flowers. As a result, butterflies are distributed evenly almost throughout the forest within a radius of 2-3 km from their native swamps, but nowhere in large numbers. Secondly, there are two varieties of butterflies:
- rather large of the standard type with a solid marginal band on both the upper and lower wings;
- noticeably smaller with yellow pollination of the veins on the border in males and noticeable white spots on the border in females. Somehow I did not come across such in the literature, although I am not a great specialist

, however, you can see everything in the photo There are opinions?

Mother-of-pearl Argionalis is not found in the swamps, there is only selenium in the mass. In the course of the case, a couple of optilets for sdi and sennitsa-hero (KK of the Ryazan region) were picked up - damaged, but by no means isolated in that swamp. Just a thunderstorm started, and then it was not possible to return to the place.

Night fishing. We spent two nights fishing with Viktor at the intersection of gas pipelines in the forest, and one night separately at different ends of the village. Results:
- cocoonworms dubolistny and aspen-leaved - some males, quite abundant;
- plum cocoonworm - several males.
- pine, raspberry and grass cocoonworms - isolated;
- vicgrr caught a female oak cocoonworm quite out of time and place;
- purple bear, meadow bear(males), lutea, lubricipeda / urtice, rubricollis lichens-quite abundant, some en masse;
- dipper-villika - only at Victor's property, a little worn. It is not clear why I don't have them this year?;
- kossuses ordinary and terebra - only a few;
- crested birds in relatively small quantities or only a few, including timon and beech fork-tail (KK).regions).
- massively multi-colored moth of prunaria, large golden, ruled and other-other-other. Victor caught and, if I'm not mistaken, Bupalus piniarius
-sickle wings - to fig and different;
-hawkmoth: linden (including the female pinkish-green in Viktor), small and medium wine, pine, oculate (a little), poplar (2 specimens), Hemaris sp. (1 pc.);
- but the scoop is frankly small so far and not very diverse.
In general, nothing particularly outstanding, although with such very warm nights, something more was expected

. However, everything (my part) is in the photo picture: DSC00293.jpg

Finally, the beetles. When fishing for light in the village, beetles suddenly poppered en masse. Despite kazax-a's calls to commit genocide against them, he took only small horses, ground beetles, and a single male rhinoceros beetle. Pravuntsy, vodolyuby, nutcrackers, softies were ignored, despite the abundance picture: DSC00267.jpg

Yesterday, June 20, I went out for beetles in places located near the southern borders of Yaroslavl. It was supposed to survey several "points": a broad-leaved grove on the Timerevsky burial ground (where last year the false-bedded Choragus cheppardi Kirby fell into the soil trap; then an oak grove in the village, a cow pasture in order to search for Geotrupes stercorarius,and a "sweet" place where in 2009 I found a population of Phytoecia (Musaria) affinis. This "point" is the northernmost place of the modern habitat of the species in Europe (according to M. L. Danilevsky).
A brief summary (I took some of them, but just marked most of them...):
Ground beetles-Lebia cruxminor (4 copies).
Most likely, a complete set of globules in cow dung;
Plates: Aphodius fossor, Aphodius erraticus, Anomala dubia, Phyllopertha horticola, Hoplia parvula (very locally on the riverbank), Oxythyrea funesta, Cetonia aurata, Trichius fasciatus;
Nutcrackers: Agrypnus murinus, Hemicrepidius niger, Cidnopus aeruginosus, Prosternon tesselatum, Selatosomus cruciatus;
Goldenrod Dicerca alni-on gray alder;
Thyroid Ostoma ferruginea under the bark of goat willow;
Mushroom eater Mycetophagus quadripustulatus-dead oak road;
Tenelub Dircaea quadriguttata on dead gray alder;
Pollen eaters Mycetochara flavipes, Mycetochara axillaris on dry birch roadsides;
Barbels: Carilia virginea, Pseudovadonia livida, Anastrangalia sanguinolenta, Anastrangalia reyi, Lepturobosca virens, Leptura quadrifasciata, Lepturalia nigripes, Saperda calaris (on grey alder), Agapanthia villosoviridescens, Phytoecia (Musaria) affinis (3 pieces
Leaf-eaters: some interesting skrytoglav – black, shiny with yellow legs – on the umbrella tree, Chrysolina fastuosa, Chrysolina polita, a bunch of Galeruca tanaceti
Pseudoslayer Anthribus nebulosus on the dead spruce.
«Долгоносы» - Otiorrhynchus ovatus, Chlorophanus viridis, Tanymecus palliatus, Lixus iridis, Cryptorrhynchus lapathi, Zacladus geranii, Alophus triguttatus vau ? (this must be determined);
Well, a lot of small things from spangles, humpbacks, different podkornik which also need to be determined, determined, determined...
From the "scales" - a lot of different pigeons: amanda, icarus, etc., unpaired chervonets, piles of cruciferous whiteflies (in agrocenoses) and hawthorns. I also saw Camilla the ribbon – bearer, but I didn't see any topolevs.

Due to busy work on this fine weekend, it was possible to use only Saturday, June 19, to collect beetles. I was in the Borisoglebsky district, between the village of Borushka-S. Krasnovo. From the marked (and partially - as needed-taken):
Barbels: Pseudovadonia livida, Paracorymbia maculicornis, Anastrangalia reyi, Lepturobosca virens, Leptura annularis, Lepturalia nigripes, Pachyta quadrimaculata, Dinoptera collaris, Agapanthia villosoviridescens, Agapanthia (Smaragdula) intermedia (naturally, on korostavnik; previously in the Borisoglebsky district there was no found), Lamia textor;
ground beetles: Lebia cruxminor, Cicindela campestris;
nutcrackers: Agrypnus murinus, Hemicrepidius niger, Prosternon tesselatum;
pollen eater: Mycetochara flavipes (this one is right in the city - on the dry road of poplar);
leaf eaters: Galeruca tanaceti, Cassida viridis, Chrysolina varieties;
"weevils": Otiorhynchus tristis, Notaris acridulus;
Dryops sp.
Limenitis populi, Limenitis camilla, Aglais urticae, faded Vanessa cardui, some shashechnits, golubenki, Aporia crataegi (in the mass), sennits, Aphantopus hyperantus, Hemaris tityus and Hyles galii (circled over the tar in a dry meadow) flew from the butterflies. I was struck by the rather late small and relatively clean (except for one ragged tail) Papilio machaon. And in the city, I found Paranthrene tabanifonnis on the wall of a building (I photographed it and posted it in the topic about glass girls).

Although late, here is my modest report on our harsh land.

attachmentid ()=91142] Leningrad region, Vyborg district, Semiozerye.
The place is picturesque, pine forest. The lakes are very cold and deep.
June 12-13.
I was on an overnight trip. The night is cold, the day12 is rainy and cold, and the 13 is rainy with clearings.
At night, an average wine hawk flew to the flashlight with diodes, which is already a joy in the cold night.

In the morning, while inspecting the surrounding area, I found a cute green scoop in the blueberries (I don't remember the name exactly). Walking through the forest, I saw several caterpillars of cocoonworms(which ones I didn't identify, maybe someone will tell me).

From June 22 to 23, I spent the night at a dacha in Murmino, Ryazan region. For the sake of order, he turned on the DRV-250 lamp. Caught from 23 to one o'clock, in the morning I had to go to work. Despite the warm night (although the growing moon was 2/3 above the horizon), it was somewhat sluggish. A mass of fine green pulverized rubbish and caddis flies. I will not list all the butterflies, because I tried to catch only something new or replacement in the collection, so I will note only the characteristic moments.
Compared to last year, there are a lot of Rusina ferruginea, last year I came across it only once. This night there are surprisingly few hawkmoths - only 2 poplar and 1 small wine. Of the cocoonworms, only 1 quercifolia and 2 neustria males are present. Consistently almost every night recently 1-2 Cossus cossus arrive, this time 1 male and 1 female.
From what I remember or was interesting-Eupithecia subfuscata, E. subumbrata, terribly shabby Gymnoscelis rufifasciata ( actually Chloroclystis v-ata, thanks for the definition of Sungaya), zero Habrosyne pyritoides, giant female H. roboraria, 2 Lygephila pastinum, many Idaea humiliata, Paracolax tristalis and Meganola albula. A pair of yellow-tails, a lot of lubricipedes, lutea, and in a single copy Rhyparia purpurata (there were a lot of them at the weekend). But Spilosoma urtitsa doesn't want to come to me, for the life of apsten
