Time of action-June 05, 2011 Place of action - Yaroslavl neighborhood, Zavolzhsky district, Lower settlement, mixed forest with a predominance of pine. Participants - me (Dmitrich), Elizar and our Yaroslavl" settled down " babochnik Maxim Klepikov. Weather: +22-25°C, quite windy. The main goal, which was primarily pursued by Max - to confirm the habitation of the" red book " species of pigeon Pseudophilotes vicrama in the examined point-was not achieved. "Apparently, it's not the season," Max sighed (in the snowdrifts, however, unlike Stirlitz, he did not fall

through ). Seriously, Vikrama, according to his previous observations, should fly in mid-June, and we went for it, really, a little early. But since the summer period is also short, the game was worth the candle: what if it had already flown? Maxim was rewarded with the capture of another" Red Book " - Lycaena helle, as well as a number of interesting types of micro-scales in his specialization (addiction), which Elizar and I periodically "mowed down" to him. Max was happy to prick her right "in the field". I came across a dwarf copy of the swallowtail (no bigger than a wren, with small "tails"), which was caught and handed to Max. As for the beetles that Elizar and I paid our attention to, we managed to collect something by "mowing", shaking off and manually collecting them. Among the barbels, Nivellia sanguinosa (the first find at this point), Leptura aethiops, Cortodera femorata, Rhagium inquisitor, Agapanthia villosoviridescens, Phytoecia cylindrica, Tetrops praeusta, and Lamia textor were found. Collected requiring careful determination of Agrilus (on shrubby willows; I would immediately say that viridis, but slightly confused by the "two-color" of a number of specimens), Magdalis. Lixus iridis are already sitting on kupyr. There were also interesting elephants (such as Curculio crux and Phyllobius brevis). Well, and some other small things that even I don't prick when mounting

, and that need home analysis.

In addition to the Dmitrich report.
When mowing in the mass came across nutcrackers:Dalopius marginatus; Athous subfuscus; Selatosomus aeneus; Cidnopus aeruginosus; Prosternon tesselatus, also came across (me) a pair of Denticollis linearis, a pair of Ampedus baltheatus, adyn Cidnopus "minutus" (in quotation marks because it is necessary to understand because of the description of the double species) and a pair of the most delicious-previously defined as Liotrichus affinis. Dromius quadraticollis, Magdalis phlegmatiga, and several Pissodes pini were found on windbreak pine branches. Interesting leaf beetles: Pachnephorus sp. and a small blue-black yellow-legged Cryptocephalus from willow. Also on the dead aspen tree I found some red and relatively large grinder from Anobiinae - something very interesting!.
Promised exit photos...

Last Friday, 03.06.11 was in the Gatchina district of the Leningrad region at the Chashcha station. I've long wanted to break out there in order to find Mnemosyne. At the station itself was lan for 2 hours. I got off the train and just walked along the railway. Along the way, there were a small number of pigeons and pea whiteflies with flown lemongrass. Someone wrote earlier that to search for mnemosyne, it is enough to meet growing crested flowers .So the crested bird is plentiful there ,but Mnemosyne didn't see it. After an hour and a half of walking and searching, I despaired and suddenly a female mnemosyne flew straight to meet me from nowhere! She was caught, of course. Twenty minutes later, I turned back to the station without encountering any more mnemosynes. But I collected some checkers...
Crossing the railway track over the river "Zverinka" I finally came across a group of four males flying within a radius of 20-30 m . They fluttered around a tall sedge growing on a very steep slope. As long as the sun was out, the males were easy to catch, not even bothered by my net, but when the sun was hidden behind a cloud, I couldn't find a single butterfly to photograph in the grass.In general, my short trip was a success!

Report on a trip on June 8,9,10 to the Smolensk region, the coast of Desnogorsky vdhr.There are no fish,the fish farm has used up all the commercial fish in industrial volumes with nets,water-T23c,they bought it from the heart.I started the night on 22-30, t-16s, a breeze and three moons, good years, there were a lot of interesting little things and middle peasants, but I didn't pick them up-I'm not ready morally and informatively.From krupnyak:excellent kr. kossus, holes, 5 types of brazhniko-cf.freshest wines.An interesting case 5-6raz flew in and out of a large dark monster and at 3-45utra sat down on the screen was a purple hawk moth, though flown.In the afternoon, the wind began, 13-00 blew 10 kr. barbel, took.I didn't find any gold coins.Lupins are plentiful but empty.The second night was caught until 03 = 30, several times large dark hawks flew by at the speed of light,did not sit up until morning-the beer ran out,went to bed with my wife,very happy.A special feature is that when the moon was sitting down, it became especially active.This time there was no fog,arrivals were from the water side-3000 meters.All new animals have been identified for me,I'll post pictures later, otherwise I don't have the strength.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TRINITY!
June 12. National Park "Orel Polesie", north-west of the Orel region.
I wanted to combine fishing and the festival "Trinity Round Dances", but the rain prevented....
In the vicinity of the village of Zhudre, where the central estate of the national park is located,
only hawthorns, rapeseed whiteflies, arcanias, and icarus were found. . on the flowers of T. fasciatus, on the paths crawl L. textor, dung beetles G. stercorsus. Caught Monochamus sutor, Rhagium mordax...
There are not enough animals, the treatment of the territory adjacent to the village from ticks may have affected.
But the holiday was a success!

There are flies sitting on it, however, this is about it...

Then I don't know, the fly landed on the beetle at the time of shooting (there was a smelly place on the oak tree, there was a bazaar around it), I was focused on the beetle, and I didn't pay attention to the fly until now. On the adjacent frames, alas, the background objects are also very blurry, but just in case I post these frames, and who understands the topic, let them decide, and my intellectual capabilities are not enough to determine the fly

. In image 1182, for example, a fly is straddling a beetle's mandible; you can at least see this specimen. Please tell us about the results of the examination, if you don't mind; I would be very grateful.

No, here, it seems, Ulidiidae (= Otitidae), i.e. randomly crawl, without fanaticism.

From June 11 to 13, I went with Anthrenus to the biological station of our native University. He went to lead the practice, and I went to catch beetles for the company. Since the terrain is well-trodden, it was supposed to collect heat-loving beetles (according to the weather forecast) and search for some interesting species, without being distracted by banal ones.
Arriving as white people, by bus and checking in, we first went for a walk around the biological station and assess the size of the destruction caused by heavy winter snows: a lot of broken tops of Christmas trees, bent deciduous trees, a collapsed toilet...
On the shore, the first pleasant surprise is the nutcracker Ampedus nigroflavus (not recorded here) on the mutt of a birch tree. We looked at the state of the mnemosyne population – the number has not changed in recent years... After walking along the shore and running into traps along the water's edge, we turned over logs (the consequences of last year's squall). Under one Carabus glabratus, under the other in the bark of bark beetles Hylastes brunneus, Hylastes opacus, Hylurgops palliatus, in their passages some Rhizophagus and Epuraea.
Then we went to a dry meadow for a targeted collection of Agapanthia intermedia. Sukhodol suffered from last year's heat – vegetation 10-15 cm high. Mowing is almost impossible. So I had to look for a scabbard and look for agapanthia on its bushes… When mowing, Malachius viridis, Dolichosoma lineare, several species of Rhagonycta and Cantharis were found in the mass. Cryptocephalus moraei was mowed down from St. John's wort, and Cteniopus pollen eaters (?), which had never been recorded here before, began to mow down from cereals! In the forest on the way back, they examined pine stumps for Oxymirus cursor – so they didn't find it these days… In general, there is some kind of crap with barbels: along with the species that are normal for this time - Carilia virginea, Anastrangalia, Stictoleptura maculicornis, Alosterna tabacicolor, Leptura annularis, Stenurella melanura (female), Leptura quadrifasciata have already appeared, and they have not seen monohamuses, although they have not specifically examined the logs of woodpiles…
In the evening, I shook some interesting grinder from the Ernobius river from the branches of a fallen pine tree. On the "sweet" we decided to catch a split DRL, turning it on at dusk (23 hours), but I didn't ask for years – the screen was covered with flies, mosquitoes, pine and linden hawkmoth flew in pieces from the" scales", a few moths, a lone coniferous volnyanka and a little "micra" ... From beetles-two females of the Maysky beetle, all worn out, firefly, some interesting staphylin (looks like myrmecophilus) and a few 2-3 mm beetles (water lovers and skrytnoyedy)... So we went to bed at midnight.
In the morning, after the dew had subsided, we went to the clearing for uzkozlatki. On the way, we went to the roadside reservoirs for Donacia cinerea rainbows, but they (reservoirs) were severely affected by last year's drought and only a few Donacia impressa and Plateumaris became the result of mowing sedge, reeds and horsetail.
The sun was warm in the clearing, but there were no narrow-necked trees on the willows (Agrilus viridis) or mountain ash (Agrilus mendax). But after half an hour, both began to appear, gradually filling our stains. When mowing on willows and other undergrowth, skrytnoglavy (2-3 species), Labidostomis, s came across, Magdalis ruficornis was mowed down from mountain ash. Anthrenus suddenly let out a yell and showed me the barbel Menesia bipunctata (a new species for the region!), which he mowed down from a buckthorn tree! For the next forty minutes, the buckthorn bushes cracked under the blows of the nets, but I couldn't catch any more specimens... I caught one copy of Agrilus roberti on a goat willow. Boar droppings of varying freshness were occasionally found in the clearing, but there was nothing in it except for the banals - Aphodis depressus, A. rufipes, Anoplotrupes stercorosus. Anthrenus found a nest of peacock-eye caterpillars on a shrubby willow tree, which he cut off from the branches and carried to the biostation in a net.
After lunch and making a caterpillar cage, we went to "check out" Ceruchus chrysomelinus. Last year's drought probably did a lot of damage – in more than two hours we didn't find a single wet brown-rot trunk suitable for settlement, and of the beetles I found only a single dwarf male (approximately 10-11 mm).
In the morning, the sky turned out to be overcast, rain began to fall, I removed coastal traps, in which there were several Carabus granulatus, one C. glabratus and individual specimens of small things - from an interesting 3 species of Badister: unipustulatus, dorsiger, peltatus-dilatatus, Panagaeus crux-major, Agonum (Europhilus) sp., Patrobus assimilis. at 10 o'clock in the morning, the car went to the city and since it was noticeably cold and the rain did not stop, but only increased, I went home with a clear conscience...
Photos will be released later…

Hello guys! I'm sending you a report from Pskov region

The weather was unbearably hot all week, only the last couple of days of rain. During the day, we fly only small things - golubyanki, mother-of-pearl, shashechnitsy, tolstogolovki. Even Io and urticaria are not frequent. Caught only beaten Limenitis populi with a span of 85mm (!). Night fishing is much more productive, years on drl-ku incomparable, not sorry for the money spent. Of the hawkmoths, the most frequent is Smerinthus ocellata, which arrives every night in dozens, circling over the lamp like mad, and then interfere

with the number of Deilephila porcellus and Deilephila porcellus, about a dozen each. Laothoe populi and Sphinx pinastri flew in sporadically.
The following is a short list of what I have so far managed to determine from the night catches:
- Khokhlatki
Phalera bucephala
Notodonta ziczac
Ptilodon capucina
Cerura vinula
Clostera curtula
- Sickle wings
Habrosyne pyritoides
Drepana curvatula
Drepana falcataria
- Dippers
Diacrisia sannio
Spilosoma urticae
