European part of Russia

June 23-25 spent in the Ulyanovsk region, near the Volga. The heat is terrible, they say it hasn't rained since May. Everything is dry, there are noticeably fewer erect wings and praying mantises than two years ago. A lot of ktyrei, mantispas, many more deer beetles, clites, dorcadions and dybki are also present. A lot of wasps hunting spiders (photo of the victim below). There are quite a few butterflies, mainly pigeons and melanarg. Other animals included ground squirrels, foxes, snakes, some large birds of prey, and tree frogs.

Something about the area is painfully familiar

The area feels painfully familiar

Yes, yes, Alexey. You are not mistaken, the area is the same, for the second time I go to these wonderful places, thank you for recommending

Yes, yes, Alexey. You are not mistaken, the area is the same, for the second time I go to these wonderful places, thank you for recommending

Well, if you are still going-please contact us - we have a lot of fun places

Kasimovsky district of the Ryazan region. Two days and one night. The heat is wild. So much so that daytime butterflies almost do not fly, they gather near the water. Only 2 apollons were encountered throughout the forest, something after last year's outbreak of numbers is bad for them. Fresh swallowtails, lemongrass and mother-of-pearl paphias have flown, all tapeworms, iridescences and hawthorns are leaving, myrmidons are quite isolated, whiteflies simply do not exist. Golubyanki exclusively banal, checkers are few.
The night was quite warm (+17), but with a full moon. The city is quite active, but not very diverse. Nothing particularly delicious arrived. Cocoonworms:
- oak (1 female).
- oak-leaved (1 female and a bunch of males-they fly for a long time, already a month);
- aspen-leaved (1 male);
- plum (female -1, males-a lot);
- euphorbia (several males);
- ringed (1 male).
- grass (lots of males).
- pine (3-4 males, a couple of females)
Hawkmoth-standard set:
- pine (in mass).
- ocular (single and small).
- poplar (in the mass, in a variety of colors);
- linden (several copies);
- small wine (many);
- medium wine (several)
Quite sad with the bears - female purpurata, in the mass of lyubritsip / urtik, males sannio, a little lutey of both sexes and ordinary lichens. Somehow, there's still no Kaya. And at the same time, sdi on the border with the Yaroslavl region "strangled" the dominant phegea/nigricornis Flew.
Of the moths, a couple were interesting - a male and a female melanaria (blueberry), although, again, the nearest blueberry is 5 kilometers away in the forest, and the butterfly does not look like a good flyer at all.
Kossuses (C. Sossis), including the female, vinula, volnyanki, sovkovidki...
Of the beetles - a female rhinoceros (in a remote forest!), a barbel, very similar to a woodcutter-tanner, but a little more than 2.5 cm in size, and a couple of some indistinct ones (a brown cylindrical barbel and someone ground beetle-shaped )
In general, the soul, of course, took a little, but...

On the weekend I was at the dacha.
Leningrad region, Vsevolozhsky district, pos. Vaskelovo
On Saturday 26 it was overcast, it rained all day, but it was warm.
The night from 26 to 27 was warm +18 and overcast, in general, what you need for night fishing. The first auspicious night of the season in our region!
I caught on the DRL 250 from 12 (we have white nights in full swing, not like in the Moscow region), until 3 am.
Here's what arrived:



The next day the weather cleared up and right in the garden caught these animals:

Kasimovsky district, Ryazan region, Gus-Zhelezny.
The heat wave continues... Even sun-loving Apollos don't really fly, but they can barely fly from flower to flower. Moreover, they are already well beaten and burned out. In addition, after a harsh winter, those who survived it are small in size. During the day, in fact, there is nothing to catch.
I started the first night only at 1-00, finished at 3-30. Nothing special, cocoonworms, kaya bears, scoops, pyadenichki, the usual set of hawkmoth, a little volnyanok...
In the afternoon, out of longing, I went to the local oak grove, to see with one eye what is happening there, because this year my hands have not yet reached it. Basically, I looked closely at the skinny oaks in search of beetles, checked the hollow with marble bronzes (up to a fig with a disguise). And then I accidentally notice a large butterfly flickering in the crown.. Wow, a month ahead of schedule - Catocala promissa/sponsa-I always confuse them. The study of oak trees revealed that this year there are a lot of butterflies and very early (in previous years they flew together with nupts and fraxini). In short, there is a prospect for the night... And in the evening-an accidental capture of Rhombonyx holosericea. It seems that he is gaining a foothold in the Ryazan region, because he dug out of the ground.

Well, for the night I persuaded vicgrr to go to dubrava, because the usual points, although very catchy, were already fed up. Yes, remembering last year's capture in the oak grove of clover cocoonworms. In short, it turned out that these tapeworms practically refuse to fly to the light, despite the abundance (only last year one came). But, they plentifully fly on the oak sap, however, if the expiration occurs above 2 meters and the juice ferments. As a result, Viktor worked on the screen, and I caught ribbon girls on the oak tree. Vicgrr will unsubscribe itself, and my catch is shown in the photos:
One problem - it is worth a butterfly to run in a bag of net and it immediately goes bald Butterflies flew to the juice with an interval of 15-20 minutes, and at night they are not afraid of the light of a lantern and fly slowly. But during the day they are easily frightened and immediately run away even higher.
Viktor and I also wanted to drive them on Sunday dnm, but it didn't work out for me and he went alone. We are hoping for a report, because he caught some lentils

Finally, the images are from a week ago. So, Tyria jacobaeae in its youth:


And finally, a barbel, size 2 cm, caught on an oak tree at night when disassembling equipment on departure. Please define it.


PS. By the way, the fifth of the promissa/sponsa pair is not noticed, although they usually fly at the same time.

PS. By the way, the fifth of the promissa/sponsa pair is not noticed, although they usually fly at the same time.

You have both views in the photo. To be precise, 7 promissa and 1 sponsa, it is also in a separate photo.

Woodcutter in the photo
Aegomorphus obscurior (Pic, 1904) (= wojtylai Hilszczanski et Bystrowski, 2005). Previously, this species was mistakenly confused with the related species A. clavipes, from which in reality, in addition to color, it clearly differs in the structure of the genitals of males. The range is generally similar to that of A. clavipes, but the species A. obscurior is somewhat more northern

You have both views in the photo. To be precise, 7 promissa and 1 sponsa, it is also in a separate photo.

Thanks . I just didn't have time to really look at it. By the way, usually in this oak grove promissa is caught much lighter and therefore easily distinguishable from sponsa.

Hello everyone From 2 to 5, I fished in the Kasimov district at the dacha and in the surrounding area. The day didn't interest me much, except for catching Cato Scala promissa and sponsa in the local oak forest. Butterflies sit on oak trees, are easily found visually, but they are very shy and it is not so easy to catch them. Promissa is more common than sponsa-the result is about 6 to 1.
At night, I caught a pair of milkweed cocoonworms in my dacha, a lilac moth Apeira syringaria, a male and female, Cossus terebra, in the mass-grass cocoonworms, kaya bears, background hawks, etc. The scoop has not yet been determined.
The next night we fished with mikee in Dubrava. Catocala as Mikhail already wrote, they did not fly to the light. Among the larger animals - a battered female oak cocoonworm, uninteresting hawkmoth, in the mass oak-leaved cocoonworms, already pretty beaten, but alas not one female. From the incomprehensible-flew some very similar to a pine cocoonworm, but something gnawing doubts, after straightening out I'll put it on the definition. The scoop flew decently - beautiful and different, they are in the photo, we will be grateful for the definition. Sorry for the photo on the straighteners - I straighten it right at the dacha, and I take pictures at home.

I would like to share a small observation on fishing for light.
Butterflies react differently to the screen. Some hawks, for example, beat their heads against the wall until they bleed into it (the head, of course ) they won't break it. Especially affected by this are ocular, poplar and pine trees. not far from them, some cocoonworms also left. The most disgusting is M. castrense, I called them "mad Winnie-the-Pooh" because of their behavior at the screen. A small fluffy red ball that rolls up and down the screen until it's completely exhausted.
But the most disgusting animal is Parascotia fuliginaria. Not only does it arrive extremely infrequently, but it also behaves incredibly meanly. She flies behind the light source into the shadows and can sit for quite a long time somewhere on the wall of the shed, but if you point the camera at her and click the flash, she is gone. As a result, in 2 years of fishing, I saw it only 2 times through the camera lens, and never managed to catch it.
Here is this insidious type of civilian appearance.
If you see such a person, catch it right away, don't even point a flashlight at it, don't let yourself be deceived

And I have both fuliginaria and poplar hawkmoth quite normally landed on the screen. The most disgusting butterflies are the scoops Xyleninae, Hadeninae and Noctuinae. (such as Cryptocala and Pseudeustrotia don't count). The most rabid scoops - Oligia and Chortodes fluxa-are constantly raging and sitting on the back of the screen (which is leaning at an acute angle against the fence).

I agree, hawkmoth behave differently. Sometimes they arrive and immediately sit on the screen, as if rooted to the spot. But often there are such creatures that all sleepy animals will be driven off the screen
Apparently, the differences between us are due to the fact that you have a screen on the fence, which is illuminated from the screen side all in any way, and I have a shed, which has 2 unlit side walls, where some views are protected from bright light
By the way, it would be nice to make a list of such types. It will be necessary now to look closely and mark the "shadow lovers", maybe when someone will fit.

Catocala usually like to dive somewhere under the visor

Parascotia fuliginaria flies better at dawn. And special frolic at this time is not different, cover immediately with a stain.

The first decade of July was marked by trips to Elton and Bogdinsky-Baskunchak Nature Reserve. There wasn't much time for fishing, but we also managed to bring a few beetles.

Did you take off your shovel?

Here is all that nasnimal from raznousykh, Elton 2 July.
In the Bogdinsky-Baskunchak Nature Reserve, 2-3 species of different sawyers flew in the mass, they were not even removed, and the standard set of hawkmoth Hyles.

What a cute Cerceris wasp in the photo IMG_2244

July 9 and 10 caught the light at the dacha in Murmino, Ryazan region. From 23: 00 to 2: 00, lamp-DRV-250. The first night is not very good, just banal. The second night was warmer, and the flight was more fun. Most of the interesting species arrived from Saturday to Sunday.
I write that I remembered.

Zraste ... my voice from Volgograd ............. (place for a whistle that conditionally replaces profanity) ... The smoking room is alive. Although I am on the verge of insanity due to circumstances, the voicing of which threatens with fouls and banning. In short, I present a belated photo report from June 25. It was in a country village north of Volgograd. All this flew into the light of a finished light bulb in the ceiling, outside the front door. I note that it was only possible to observe this particular night, because of the sudden absence of six-legged bloodsuckers (bipeds continued similar sabotage). The previous ones were much better. Next week, there was no summer.
In the evenings, the coleopteran years begin. During the day, only abscesses frolic, and clouds of locusts-from what catches the eye. I have never seen fillies fly up from the feet of a walking man, like the spray from the wheels of a bicycle racing through puddles, fluttering their pink wings! One type in the mass. I suspect that we also have him on KMV and lives quietly and quietly. Another Volgograd species with blue-black wings comes across on the banks of the Volga occasionally and does not climb into the city.
Don't beat your feet on the head for quality – I shot with a whale lens in the dark.
By the way, - this was the last photo report... - because my new bride, a common-law wife, broke the lens in a fit of anger. There is no limit to my emotions, dear people.

This is the second year we have such a massive outbreak of locusts, usually there are just a lot of them. A month earlier, there was an invasion of the gray grasshopper.

Thank you very much!

I combined my life as best I could with an apiary on the road and collecting beetles. True, only 4 days...

Rostov region, Azovsky district, district of Poltava 2-ya. Forest belt + sunflower sowing.
3-7.07.2010

On the layer laid out the material divided by methods (and techniques) of collection.


"simple manual collection" (there are two groups on the top layer)
"manual collection at night with a lantern" (lower-left corner)
"manual collection of litter during the installation of traps" (two groups above the lower left corner)
"Trap with illumination by a decorative night lamp" (the largest group)



And mustache collected, as I could




And yet, to the light from another point:

Rostov region, Azov district, Chumbur-Kosa village. Crushed DRL 250 in the yard of the house.
10-11.07.2010



I was extremely happy to catch Microlestes plagiatus

I combined my life as best I could with an apiary on the road and collecting beetles. True, only 4 days...

These are rare ones like, I caught one nidelya back, flew to the light.
Rpaninus exhibited, CHLAENIUS SULCICOLLIS (PAYKULL, 1798).

Andreas.Don't be discouraged.And if the mood is right, come visit me in Saratov-only 500 km away.
It's also worth a roast.

Yes, apparently, the year is completely freaky. Yesterday I spent the night at the dacha in Murmino, C. nupta has been flying around for many days, but all the other bandwigs seem to have already flown away.
I wouldn't be surprised if S. celsia flies this weekend
And yesterday, Perizoma lugdunaria flew to my screen! Last year, she was caught for the first time, I think, in MO. So it seems that this species is slowly moving to the east.


UPD: actually, there are not very many butterflies, and almost everything is banal. Apparently, the heat and lack of vitamin nutrition affect.

Did Rhopalopus clavipes apparently run on the ground?

It is quite possible that Potosia caucasica is nothing more than Protaetia (Netocia) hungarica with a similar pattern. There was one in the fishing reports from last year. The range of Potosia caucasica is not quite suitable. I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of the beetle or him.

Me here, one person who knows defined... - I probably shouldn't say his last name, so as not to offend him... I'll present the photo later. My brother tells me (according to the verbal description) that it can be either "Kuprina" or "Metalika", because it is not green, but brownish-pinkish. The bottom is purple-pink.

Did Rhopalopus clavipes apparently run on the ground?

- On the greenhouse with cucumbers. And there are many rooted fruit trees nearby. And the boards are half-rotten lying around. I ran very fast and fast.

This is a well-known taxon - outside the Caucasus, populations of the species are known from settlements in the Volgograd and Astrakhan regions. In the Orenburg region, on the territory of the city of Orsk, a few years ago, a population of this species was also found in old garden plots, although normal metallics are found near the city. presumably-brought once with fruit or seedlings from ?Turkmenistan. In my opinion, it is not quite correct to call this species kuprina - with large samples, there are usually green specimens in the series, which is impossible for Kuprina. Gusakov calls this species P. hyeroglyphyca, in general, and according to the" fauna of the USSR " it is defined in this way.

Turkmenistan is home to the green subspecies P. hyeroglyphyca.
