Solyanki on Bulukhta

For accuracy. This is not solyanka (Salsola), but soleros (Salicornia).

Today at 21-45 a dustpan arrived, I don't remember what it's called. The wing margin is strongly scalloped, brownish in color with orange spots, and the legs have bright white spots. I flew into the light.

Scoliopteryx libatrix (?)

absolutely right! That's the one. it's in the freezer right now.

That's right....it is not possible to determine the scoop by three words in my opinion.

This one is possible (it's the only one we have at this time).

And until what time does it fly? Does her imago hibernate?

While it is relatively warm, it can be met. Yes, she has an imago wintering.

I wrote last year in this topic about the discovery of November 28 (Moscow)

here you see, and in the middle zone, the fishing season can be sooo long, late winter thaws, and then you look and spring .

February 8, in the evening after work, I'm sitting watching TV in the kitchen, and suddenly out of the corner of my eye I notice some movement on the new sofa (bought three weeks ago) - freshly brewed Tetropium castaneum! Apparently it came out of a furniture frame made of untreated coniferous wood. I haven't disassembled the sofa yet, so I can't say 100%. But there's nowhere else this barbel can hatch. In the photo, the barbel is slightly frozen, I threw it in a container in my bag, not thinking about the frost on the street, and while waiting for transport and driving to work, the barbel froze...

Today I saw a bee with a yellow leg! "I don't see any flowers." Only the woodlouse weed blooms here and there on the steep southern slopes freed from snow. I've never seen bees land on these flowers. And in some places there are overwintered flowers of veronica (also not visited by bees) and crushed, no longer any flowers of chistyak, which bloomed in the warm days of December, which is not typical for this spring-blooming plant.

That would be at least how to stop this mess. The report is the material for the last year: your own, exchanges, purchases.Well, it can be considered a fishing report.Many thanks to: KDG, RippeR, KAZAX, BAD DEN, Entoterra, rpanin, Smax,Dmitrich,wise snake, Yakovlev,Elizar, Anthrenus, taler and many others for the material, communication, etc.......

Guys, stop it!!!!!! In September, you will personally sort it out.Right now, we want to enjoy our reports

Thank you for the beautiful photos. You are a fairly good connoisseur of barbels, it would be interesting to see your main collection. Would you mind showing a photo if possible?

and spring has come to me!
the first, albeit modest, catch of this year "in open water"
75 Kronshtadtskaya St., Tambov, Northern exposure wall, t +5 C. 30. III. 2011. I am leg.

You have it firmly glued, and then they say that
this Dermestes lardarius (Ham leatherworm) is very
harmful to zoological (read entomological) collections

this one is completely harmless 100%! you just need the right approach - first the weasel, and only then the shack can be added

And we are still cold (0..-1 C), most likely in a week I will make my first sortie. I want to sift through the anthills and try them out)

"I want to sift through the anthills
," let me know the result later, otherwise I've been going for a couple of years, but everything is somehow ...

The same garbage, last year everything was going to be collected and never collected

So spring has come to Volgograd. During the day, at about +10. Frogs bloom, C. campestris, O. sabulosum, T. nomas run; one C. bessarabicus was caught

Season 2011 in Saratov is declared open!
So!

04.04.2011. The temperature is +5C. Sunny.

There is still snow everywhere in the forest, but it has melted a little near the trees. The pond was also under ice, but in some places, right under the transparent crust of ice, some small larvae of the mosquito type were scurrying, and among them we managed to catch 5 water nuggets.
I also found an interesting Malachius larva on the shore ?aeneus and staphylinida. I found a nest of hibernating ants under the bark and decided to bring it home for study.

maybe it won't reach us until the end of the week, otherwise I also wanted to warm up the generator

Do you have a generator?

In "Our ditch"(Udmurtia), we will "warm up", I think, on the 10th of May.

Roman, cool photos, thank you! And the forest with fluffy is a masterpiece!

I was in shock myself. before that, I only saw it in the natural history class (grade 1-3). and I drove past this swamp for 3 years several times a month and never saw such a thing. place / time! in general, we have a rarity, TC is too "south", and filed for rarity TC is too "north", but this is what it is and the FOREST STEPPE!

In "Our ditch"(Udmurtia), we will "warm up", I think, on the 10th of May.

we have the same garbage "effect of the second winter" =pit, but the early spring ones fly "through snowdrifts", and in May, when the snow comes down.... you need to deal with the May ones, and forget about these until next March/April. each (butterfly / beetle/catcher) has its own...

It's beautiful there!!! And the fluff pleases and zlatochki pine! And the ant is an asshole! dragged away by phyllobius)

Ilya-if everything goes well, we will be there with you just at the same time
poor guy argentatus clung to life from the last one by the way, it's interesting-there are a lot of argentatus on the birches, as well as goosebumps, but I've never seen the latter behave so aggressively
