European part of Russia

Yes, now I looked in the topic of crested whales, Odontosia sieversii. But only in a single copy .

And the cocoonworms are fluffy, lanestris fly until what time?

We had Odontosia sieversii flying en masse. I even brought it home in my jacket pockets and behind my collar. True, the forest is a solid birch forest.

On Thursday, April 28, finally opened the season for collecting awakened beetles, and not sleeping in the "wintering pits", and along the way, the mushroom season. The main goal of the release was to check the state of the Apalus bimaculatus population. The weather is beautiful, the willow is blooming. In the colony of Andren - a stormy life, in addition to them hang out various membranous kleptoparasites, buzzers are worn, here I took an interesting folding-winged wasp-it looks like a polist, but I didn't identify it... The Apaluses did not meet, perhaps they have already "slipped". But on "their" clearing caught a nutcracker Cardiophorus sp., later caught "Selatosomus" impressus. In the pits after poaching sand in the mass sat spiders, came across Pterostichus oblongopunctatus, Chrysolina sanguinolenta, and some interesting little things. Aphodius nemoralis, A. fimetarius, and A. prodromus are trying to dispose of winter moose droppings. Almost every 100 meters,you can hear the rustle of crawling snakes, from "shoelaces" to meter ones. One "shoelace" fancied itself a viper-hissed, rushed at the camera...

Overnight from 30 to 1may.I started at 22-00, 23-00 arrived the freshest female E. versicolor, T-11grad, until 02-00 arrived pieces of 300 banals of 3 species and 1 species of skinny webs.At 02-00 T-4grd.Caught on the border of the city, connected in the parking lot-shone in the direction of the forest.Light installation 1sberegayka 85W and 2uf E27 25W each.I noticed that by 1 am my eyes were tired, apparently from UV, but in the morning there were no hares.Today I will drive to the new birch massif for exploration.

Omaru: Plavuntsy-tsybistory not stupid, but cute and desirable!!!

I apologize from April 29 to April 30.

Spring is coming!!!
April 30, Andriabuzh recreation area, northern environs of Oryol.
Whiteflies P. rapi, P. napi, and Leptidea flew out. There is no A. levana yet.
Crawling T-shirts, Meloe proscarabaeus and Meloe violaceus ...
There are various beetles on the flowers, the paths were occupied by field horses C. campestris,
small ground beetles, and the elephant Cleonus was caught in the frame. Strange, I didn't see any
endromis, there are usually a lot of them here at this time.
Unfortunately, it started raining in the afternoon and everyone hid.

From 1 to 2 May, the night of 5grd at 22-00, very sluggish, a winter-type breeze, apparently disgusting for animals, no years, everything is standard for this time, there were no endromis.Feature-it flew very low and stuck tightly into the screen,fell and lay at the bottom without activity.

Caught on the first of May. Glade surrounded by mixed forest, outside the city, black grouse flew in . woodcocks, ducks, and hunters followed, with a catch of one male endromis and a bunch of moths and siversi.

Yesterday I spent the whole day searching for and turning cow cakes.Alas, except for Geotrupes stercorarius, there is no one else.Probably too early yet.

In continuation of Svyatoslav's report. We did not reach Kazakhstan for 30 kilometers.
Report on the trip of me, Mikhail (Mikkey) with my wife and Victor (vicgrr) to the south of Russia, the Volgograd and Astrakhan regions (30.04-06.05.11), in search of spini and something else, plus fishing. All the photos that I attach are made on the phone, good photos will be posted later by Viktor.

The first stop according to tradition (last year we tried to find Spini, but we were late with the arrival) was in the area of the Ilovlya River. I was struck by the terribly late spring, the leaves on the trees only popped out, the thorns did not bloom. But nevertheless, we took Spini. For three nights, about 30 pieces of varying degrees of integrity, all females (now on the spread). I think that we overslept the males, apparently it was necessary to catch them after 2 nights. From the rest, there is almost nothing to highlight, there are a few good scoops and in general that's all. The beetles didn't fly well either, and there were no dorcas.





Then we moved to Dosang, where we stopped a couple of kilometers from the village right in the steppe. The number of butterflies was mediocre, a dozen Geb and a few types of scoops-that's all that came to light at night from butterflies. Beetles simply terrorized – scarabs arrived/crawled in infinite numbers, water lovers and swimmers created a solid black carpet under their feet. There were also various dung beetles and crunchers-see photos. In the afternoon, we began to look for butterflies, which were practically nonexistent-coal pigeons, ausonians and zegrys, that's basically the whole set that was found there.





From the steppe, we drove to Dosang, where other entomologists and herpetologists stopped to talk. After seeing piri at their place (and this was at the beginning of May, when the flowers on the fruit trees were just blooming) we decided to take them. We stood on a hill at the edge of the village, turned on the fourth DRL (until the second generator died, we caught a split and non-split one on two DRL) and waited. At dusk, piri did not come, but various scoops and crested birds flew well (see photo), a little later Hebes and leghorns, and piri (males) went from 2.15 to 3.30 only 5 pieces of them came in varying degrees of integrity. Beetles are almost the same as in the steppe, plus green dung beetles. From two in the morning, the daily crunch of big-eared hedgehogs bothered me – beetles were being processed.






We were returning to Moscow with a visit to the Khopersky Nature Reserve, but we were already there at dusk, so we were in a bad place, where almost nothing interesting came.



We spent another night on our way to Moscow in Gus-Zhelezny, where we caught endromis at night. The result is 4 females and an infinite number of males.

From May 1 to May 7, I spent fishing in the village of Nizhny Baskunchak in the vicinity of Mount Bogdo.
Pentodon bidens attacked all the lanterns in the village on May 1 and 2, while Scarabaeus typhon was driven out on May 3. There was a great abundance of black heifers, of which I identified Pimelia cephalotes, Microdera deserta, Platyope leucogramma, Tentyria nomas, and Blaps lethifera. Calosoma auropunctatum and Capnodis tenebrionis were isolated. The remains of Ceratophyus polyceros and Geotrupes mutator were recorded. During the day, we flew in the mass of Epicometis hirta, on the thistle Netocia hungarica. Potosia hyeroglyphica is found dead in the mass. Around May 5, Gymnopleurus mopsus appeared. Dorcadion carinatum has been in small numbers since the third day. Some beetles will have to be identified, I will note two types of crunches, one type of horse and a large water beetle. In addition to it, Hydros piceus was recorded in some numbers, but always in the form of remains.

On the weekend(May 7 and 8) I went to the village of Rudnya in the Kaluga region.
There were a lot of lunar copra(copris lunaris) in the manure, but I took only the largest ones,I got them: aphodius fimetarius, aphodius depressus, aphodius subterraneus, aphodius luridus, aphodius fossor and others. We were also particularly pleased to find several specimens of onthophagus coenobita.

Join the ranks of night sky illuminators - finally completed the screen and tried out fishing in the light for the first time. Caught two nights - on May 8 and 9 near Naberezhnye Chelny. During the day-the heat is under 25, but both nights by 23 o'clock it was only 4 degrees, so, taking into account late spring, the trophies are only their early-frost-resistant ones. In addition to orthosia and a few other scoops, only 2 endromis, 1 strataria and one micra arrived. Scoops, sitting on the screen, after a couple of minutes froze and they could be picked up by hand or shaken off in the stain. Also pleased with the water lovers, with an intimidating sound, throwing themselves on the canvas, as well as crawling on the illuminated ground around.
Since there is no experience in defining scoops, I would appreciate your help in identifying them. Otherwise, I'm only sure of the transverse and the Gothic. I hope that among the many inserts I found something interesting.

Have you ever seen an Eriogaster lanestris nail before ?

Additions to the sdi report on the sdi+mikee+vicgrr trip on the Moscow-Ilovlya-Dosang route.
1. The first point of the route was the Lukoil gas station near Vityutnev (Volgograd region), where last spring we came across a carpet from A. festiva. A complete bummer - not a single one! Written off for late spring and decided to check on the way back...
2. The main point is the Ilovlya River valley, the goal is S. spini, which we missed last year on the Bolshaya Golubaya River. Fishing directly in the thicket of blackthorn due to shyness-near the highway. Nothing is blooming yet, except for tulips, hazel grouses, tufts and some kind of kaluzhnitsa, not that vetrennitsa. At night, the hammer is solid, up to 5-7 degrees of heat.
The first night, a clearing of 10x10 meters = 2 copies, one badly broken. Plc is one male endromis. The nearest stunted birches are three kilometers away... Split DRL + non-split DRL on two screens. Years from 22 to 23.
Night two-a clearing 200 meters from the first size is already 50x50 meters - about a dozen Saturnia, some females, mostly completely fresh. years from 22-05 to 23-05.
Night three-the screens were divided into two clearings, on both of them - stab DRL. My wife was left on duty in the small parking lot next to ours. At 22-35, desperate to catch anything (there is a complete zero in a large clearing), I went to check on my wife. And I found her completely confused by the number of spins that arrived, in short, she made us this night with a fantastic score of about 15:1. Age from 21-45 to 23-15.
So we did not understand this butterfly, because:
- not a single male (Sergey's arguments about 2 nights seem doubtful to me);
- arrival from the river;
- uneven summer on different nights, whether we just knocked them all out of the immediate vicinity, or - I don't know;
- two freshest females hung for a day in a cage in a thicket of blackthorn. And no one came to them
The diurnal entomofauna is very sparse: overwintered nymphalids (polychloros, C-beloe, io), rapeseed and turnip whiteflies, a few raspberries and a single polyxena. From beetles - numerous fluffy crunch and crunch-chanterelle, a little black-bodied, single T-shirts, zero dorcadions. There are a few May beetles, swimmers and water lovers in the world.
However, the goal is achieved!

Fishing and its results:



3. Point #3-Dosang. Passing through Volgograd with a visit to Mamayev Kurgan and passing the new bridge over the Volga. It should be noted that for the first time in many years, the streets of the city did not make the impression of being freshly bombed, although we drove only in the center.
The purpose of visiting Dosang is for informational purposes only
The first night is a camp in the bare steppe. Smells of wormwood and kipchak, the late arrival of a dozen A. festiva, a huge number of water lovers (in my opinion - three species: big, black and small), floaters (at least three species) and scarabs. Beetles rained down on cars and marched in columns across the steppe to the lamp - a fantastic sight, there were thousands of them! My Kipor generator is dead
In the morning, there was a mass flight of scarabs in the steppe, and the interest was aroused by their appearance, similar to the bronzes, i.e. with unopened elytra and the same maneuverable and fast. And the speed with which they arrive at the fresh shit and pull it apart-minutes! A joyous bonus was the capture of coal pigeons Praephilotes anthracias and Zegris eupheme, but the ausonia did not count.

So catch Moscow entomologists


This is vicgrr (not hot, however ):


Some beetles:



Semi-desert flowers:



In the morning we went to the village to meet our colleagues at the anti-plague station. There were not many entomologists, but we were hooked by the presence of S. pyri in their catches, which, according to my ideas, is still very early to fly. Naturally, we started up and went to look for a place for night fishing. We found a killing point-a protective rampart (from water) on the outskirts of the village, near Akhtuba, ilmovo-poplar floodplain forest and an open view of the village gardens and steppe. A little indulged in fishing-debauchery, bites a lot and abundantly, large chehon and ordinary perch, and, despite the spring, on the lure too. At sunset, the first eared hedgehog arrived, was caught and put in a boot to do a photo shoot in the morning. It turned out that they were twitching in vain. Sergey, who was on duty at night, told about the morning invasion with the crunch of beetle shells...

The results of fishing are frankly pleased:


4. In the morning we left for the return journey. In the Kharabalinsky district, there are a lot of cops on the highway, however, very favorable to offerings, but at the Lukoil gas station near Vityutnev, there is again a complete zero on festivals/gebs. Complete incomprehensions! Broken roads and cops-cops-cops... My colleagues were completely impudent and set out to catch all 4 types of saturniums in the European part of Russia in one trip. Therefore, we stopped in a broad-leaved forest near the Khopra floodplain. However, figs to you( us), zero for Saturniums, but what struck me was a complete zero for May beetles. And where did they go?
5. We continued on to Gus-Zhelezny, where Viktor and I are at home. The terrible 40 km of "highway" beyond Morshansk, the broken streets of Sasovo, patching repairs everywhere and gasoline getting more expensive with every kilometer. Shame on you, great Russia!
Visit on the way to the really old (1573) monastery in the Tsna floodplain, and again-road-road-road. As a result, I drove almost 4000 km (I drove sdi to Moscow, returned to the village and again to Moscow...
6. Attempt to achieve a result on saturniums in Gus-Zhelezny. Mass release of endromis and nothing more interesting. Spring is even more delayed there than in Moscow. The next day-an attempt to catch A. tau near Kurovskaya on a tip-off to the place of Kotombegemot. The result is curious - one tau seen and not caught, 7 ticks on sdi and one on me
On the night of the 9th, they caught only with Viktor again in Gus-Zhelezny. Despite the warmth of the night, the weather is much worse than two nights earlier. And only with a small addition of vinula.

That's all there is to it. Viktor will probably add more. Thank you for your attention

And did they give you Ryazan tickets when they fly? The eternal dream is to discover them in the Lipetsk region...

They fly when the lilac blooms. As of today - another three weeks later,
if it doesn't get much warmer.

Additions to the sdi report on the sdi+mikee+vicgrr trip on the Moscow-Ilovlya-Dosang route.

Well done! Great report! This year, something strange is happening in the Volgograd region for beetles. There are very few steppe carabuses, near Volgograd Gesner's tulips faded in 3 days, with dorcadions strained, the mass output of bronze torches has just begun... 12-15 days behind last year !

Have you ever seen an Eriogaster lanestris nail before ?

I didn't come across it. I think this is solely due to the fact that I have never caught a light before . So I hope it's only a matter of time before we catch them.

a few raspberries

And from this place in more detail please, raspberries came with you or stayed in their historical homeland?

And from this place in more detail please, raspberries came with you or stayed in their historical homeland?

"And everything is blooming in front of us, everything is burning behind us" sdi recently doesn't even want to hear about anything less than 50 copies of each type (or better-about 50 pairs) and will soon be on duty at the screen at night with a broom and a bucket of ethyl acetate...
We return to the raspberry tree. Something, of course, remained in the historical homeland. And only a few copies arrived in Moscow, and even those-not from me, but from sdi and vicgrr. Here's the thing: we had a dispute, the same raspberry in the Volgograd region, as in Moscow, or not? I, having read the forum, claimed that, like, a different kind, the rest swore that the same. As a result, they were not too lazy to take away what I had already caught or catch in front of my nose what I had shown them. Joke...
In general, we have had such disputes from time to time on various occasions. For example, ordinary xylocops (valga, apparently) fly there in decent numbers, although there are not many large trees. I also noticed a black (not blue) individual with dark wings and two transverse white stripes on the front chest. It was caught out of curiosity and starved, but the question of "xylocope or bumblebee" remained unclear, and a copy was left on the mattress of one of the guys... Again, sdi does not want to believe that I caught (as a child) the S. pyri caterpillar, which eats a southern variety of elm... He didn't believe about E. pavonia on willow either
In general, the hint, I hope, is quite transparent - if you are interested in Volgograd raspberries, then you need to shake Sergey or Viktor.

Okay, let's shake it!
Raspberries are the same most likely, only better, larger and lighter There will be a lot of material from the south of the HDI - there will be final conclusions)
Theoretically, chalybeitincta eitschbergeri is possible in the south-east of the Volgograd region, but this is still a pure theory. In the photo anyway not chalybeitincta

I didn't come across it. capture is only a matter of time.

Damn, we need to look!!!

Hello everybody! I thought for a long time about what topic to put this post in, but probably still here. Location: Luga, Leningrad region. I found a beer bottle in the woods, half buried in moss. It lay with a slight negative slope, i.e. the neck was slightly lower than the bottom. So it was full of beetles all the way down to my throat. Mostly dung beetles. I'm not interested in beetles, so I didn't shake them out. From butterflies, caught in the afternoon, with a net, a couple of brefos and versicolor (in total, I saw 40 pieces flying). The Brephos females were very bright. And of course, the dream-grass blooms, in all its glory.

From 11 to 12 May I caught the light, the vicinity of Gobninsk, the slope of the Rprotva floodplain, started at 22-00, T-14C, at 02-00 T-6S, A FEMALE PAVONIA ARRIVED, 2 female harpies and 4 males, some silkworm-I'll post it on the definition.During the day I fished near a mixed forest:I took 2 large swallowtails, saw a piece of 40 tau-caught 1 male, feature-tau stopped flying abruptly at 15-00, saw a flying bronzer? and you saw a deer flying over a pile of oaks?.Horses run in packs.On the path, I found a T-shirt-4cm, caught a beetle-4.8 cm could not be determined yet.In the evening, I will try to catch tau at the light, although experts say that it is not a fact that they will fly.

I'd like this bottle, and I'd also like to see the birches. Many years ago, in the woods on the birch trees they made incisions (not good people) and collected juice in three-liter cans. A mouse got into one of the cans, and almost all the existing dead-eater species in Ukraine flew to the stink. I collected them, restored them, and still have them in my collection. The stench from them still remains, and 20 years have passed. And I look at them and am glad that there is. Who's to say I'm not an idiot? Who is idiotic about butterflies, who is stupid about beetles. But we are not completely idiots ( almost 20 years of education), just SPECIAL. I remembered a book I read as a child about a jubilant soul when there are fragments of a butterfly in the backpack (like Jacobson). I respect EVERYONE who brags about the posted photos. and spends crazy money on trips to floodplain (catch) me personally do not need a moth.

Article 16.1. Clear indication of novelty is required.

With a slight delay, I submit a report on my trip to the Pskov region during the May holidays. At first, the weather was very depressing, insects were slightly less than absent (we had to settle for bumblebees), but sometimes the sun came out, hives, peacock's eye, and other whims flew. the nights were cold, up to -4. I was beginning to feel bad about coming. But the last three or four days, the weather was still good, everything flew a lot, the nights became warm (+8-10). I didn't catch everything I wanted, but I'm quite happy. I would like to say that this is my first truly entomological fishing trip, which I have been dreaming about since September (it all started last summer with a simple set of mace sawyers that I wanted to decorate my wall with).
At night, I caught it on an energy saving device, 25w. The beetle actively flew only on the last day, when it was +25 in the heat, and you could walk without a T-shirt. the swallowtails even flew out. I also really wanted to catch peacock eyes, but only 3 times I caught a glimpse of tau, the epic raid on this grandmother did not end with success

List of caught / seen
Inachis io
Aglais urticae
Polygonia c-album
Anthocharis cardamines
Gonepteryx rhamni
Leptidea sinapis
Papilio machaon
Araschnia levana
Aglia tau
also a couple of pigeon species...

I will be grateful for the definition of beetles, scoops, moths, and woodworms...

I am submitting a report with a slight delay.

The first and third photos show babbling flies, Cheilosia sp., and it seems to me that it is Ch. vernalis, although those who understand may not adequately give me a candelabra... There are several hundred species in this genus, including flax.regions - several dozen, among the spring-many similar, well, in general-all on the same person

May 14. Oryol. Botany Park, heavily cut down in recent years.
High bank of the Oka River, there are limestone outcrops.
Due to unstable weather, a trip to an interesting place was disrupted,
so I had to settle for a small one.
Insects are not enough, mostly on dandelions "hang out". Blackbirds
feast on May crunches.. The paths in the park are full of crushed nemoralis,
or are they being crushed on purpose?

A little late, just the definition of the material was delayed, and even now not everything is still defined, I share the results of a small outing in the vicinity of Saratov, namely:

Saratov, Lysogorsky massif - protected area "Kumysnaya Polyana" and its surroundings, including "Tatarsky rodnik" - 8. V. 2011. Participants: A. S. Sazhnev, N. V. Rodnev.

It was not possible to catch in the pond, there were no devices, except for the found plastic bottle with the bottom cut off and the lid to it, which was used to scoop up the only water beetle of this walk.

While landscapes. See the list of species and photos of some specimens below.
