What's there to worry about? There are 2 types of rainbows in Israel. They live in the Hula area (the area is famous for hosting migratory birds). For 12 years of living in Israel, I've been there 20-30 times. I haven't seen any of them. I haven't died of it yet. I remember that in Ukraine, on any Donacia river, you could collect a kilogram.

Oh, Yuri, and if someone is engaged in rainbow girls? We have more than 20 species of them, and some of them are quite rare. Donacia obscura on the Karelian Isthmus was found only on one lake (although the population is stable, I have been observing it for 25 years), Plateumaris weisii also only on one lake. Donacia fennica and Donacia bicolor in Flax.I didn't catch any areas at all.
Not everyone is interested in 15 cm barbels, carabuses and large butterflies. I do not need Callipogon relictus for nothing, but I would not refuse from the rainbow girls from Primorye....

So walk or do not walk wintering imagi zhuzhla warm November nights, from experience, anyone say?

in my experience, white flies walk on "warm" November nights, and all decent beetles sit in / under stumps and wait for spring

In our region, I do not know this, but in Frunze (somewhere in the Dzerzhinsk or Molodaya Gvardiya region) in 1992, I noted only once at the beginning of the third decade of December (although there was snow on the lawns, it was five degrees above zero, no less) wandering along the sidewalk or freshly crushed beetles the size of our nemoralis or a little smaller. And our beetle (the one that is already an imago by winter) is quite active during the winter thaw, as I noticed, but only if it is disturbed under the bark, where it sometimes winters at a height of three meters; in my opinion, it does not go out voluntarily until spring. In Osh (in the city itself), five days before the new year of 1993, we also came across a few people, it was just quite warm-despite the fact that Suleiman was standing in the snow from his heels to the top of his head. Maybe it was an unusually warm December, I don't know.

And we had snow today. Apparently the season is over. It's time to install and define

In Rostov-on-Don, it's cool +7 in the morning. The sun periodically peeks out, complete calm. In the Don Delta, the remnants of this season. They eat mosquitoes. Exactly at 12: 00 it started to rain and the hunt ended.

Maxim, again about "alien shores": I was told that in the North Ossetian Nature Reserve, setting traps for ground beetles during the period of stable snow cover directly under the snow is a common thing. put - and, still, catch!

Yesterday was the first frost-today the first brumata.

Kasimov, October 22, at night it was -4 gr. S. Did not have time...

Diloba does it apply to crested birds? I remember at first I was in the shovels, then I moved to the shovels..

Yes, I agree
and in the book "Lepidoptera of the Saratov region" is listed as Episema caeruleocephala (Noctuidae).

Anikin probably caught them from you long ago.

On Sunday, I went out to the nearby forest to take a walk, see mushrooms and beetles. Mushrooms are still growing in full swing-russula, winter honey mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, fly agarics are found, even found buttermilk. Beetles are almost all wintering, collected only interesting ones:
Carabidae-Dromius schneideri (1) - still warm, apparently they are active and do not sit under the bark.
Coccinellidae - Chilocorus renipustulatus.
Tenebrionidae-Eledona agaricola (1) in old sulphur-yellow tinder, Corticeus fraxini, C. longulus, Pentaphyllus testaceus (rotten oak).
Aderidae - undecorated (?) beetle previously identified as Phytobaenus amabilis (1)-in an old sulfur-yellow tinder box.
Cerambycidae-Pogonocherus decoratus (1) has already come out of the mushrooms at home (it can be seen that it has been shaken off somewhere).
Scolytidae - Tomicus minor (in" shorn " pine branches), Hylastes brunneus, Pityogenes irkutensis, Ips acuminatus. Dendroctonus micans "spent" pines were not found in the swamp - previously, this bark beetle was not found at this point...
I also cut willow and aspen branches with Saperda (Compsidia) populnea galls, I will lay them for the winter and try to bring them out. This spring I have already tried to collect branches, but found only with galls pecked by a small mottled woodpecker...

A live question for me. All the time I'm looking for this species, examining branches, undergrowth, etc. (aspens, willows, poplars are full and the region seems to fit), but I don't find it at all. There are three species of Saperda (carcharias, scalaris, and perforata), while S. populnea is absent. Maybe I'm looking for something wrong
Or are there any special features? Help would be......

Usually, S. populnea beetles sit on aspen or willow stems, less often on leaves, and with a certain amount of diligence, a series can be collected. But I don't need to spend time looking at dozens or even hundreds of bushes, despite the fact that the beetles are well camouflaged. I already had the experience of breeding S. populnea, from a gall on a poplar tree collected in June-the beetle was hatched almost a year later.

The first bug of 2012! Necrobia violacea L. just caught in the kitchen is not uncommon and not on the street, but still the first!

The first beetle of 2012 crawled out of an envelope with a butterfly...

and what are the mosquitoes on IMG_5897 ?

There are few reports,it's still winter in the middle zone of the Russian Federation,so I had to do a little fishing on the Internet,acc.there is no photo report.I apologize for the flood...

In the museum where I work, repair work has begun in one of the structures. I saw holes in the discarded skirting boards and floorboards and decided to find out if a furniture grinder lived there... As a result of a long and purposeful digging of the boards, a couple of remains of Anobium punctatum and a good series of weevils, presumably Hexarthrum exiguum, were found. Photos of the board and beetle are attached...

I shook one of the" bookmarks " to display. There were branches of prickly spruce (Picea pungens) with larval passages. In February, I already extracted a couple of small half-wings and some parasitic membranes. This time I already thought that it was necessary to throw out all the contents, but in the dust at the bottom I found a couple of interesting beetles: a grinder from the genus Episernus and a leatherworm Megatoma tjanshanica (definition from the Quarantine Reference Book...)...

In the fall, I brought a magpie's nest to the museum (who doesn't know - it looks like a big pile of branches secured in the depths of the bush) and cleaned it up until better times. I got there yesterday - I'll go to the exhibition, and at the bottom of the box there are a lot of already dead beetles: more than a dozen Magdalis ruficornis and several Tetrops praeusta. The question immediately arose-where did they come from? Upon a detailed inspection of the nest, it turned out that the magpie used inhabited apple branches during its construction...

And there were no trox, karapuzikov, etc. nidikolov?

Unfortunately, it wasn't, the nest was brought to okryabre, and these "guys" usually hang out in a residential nest.

I think it can be considered the first beetle this year)

Hello!
I am a beginner, and my first season is still ahead of me, but today I made an attempt to find something under the bark and in the dead wood near the city in a long ravine with a stream called Sungir flowing along its bottom.
The ravine is quite deep, mostly overgrown with alder. Closer to the upper edge, single oaks and their small clusters are often found. There are a lot of rosehips from the bushes, horsetail thickets in summer (small tributaries with a bright red bottom flow into the stream every now and then, there are probably a lot of iron oxides in the water).
Under the bark of various rotten meerschaum trees and trunks, I found nothing but various mushrooms. There were traces of tunnels,the remains of some kind of bug, a pile of empty spider cocoons. In principle, I didn't even get to look much like it - the snow is often knee-deep.

Having left with nothing, I left places on a note for fishing in the season.

Here are some photos.

On the approach to the ravine



On the horizon, you can see the treetops from it.


Actually the biotope itself





Ravine slope

Wow, that's bold!!! It must have been cold? Doesn't the water in the stream freeze in winter?
Under the bark you can find, but not always, and you need to tear off a lot of bark for this, and this is still an economy, the best thing is not to destroy it

Yes, we have it now (one direction of Moscow time). Today it was near zero in the afternoon and naturally snow everywhere is still knee-deep. In about a week or a week and a half, it will be possible to make sorties.
Don't be surprised

Well, now we have a temperature of about zero, so it's not very cold, only the snow cover is very large. A stream with a rocky bottom, flows quite quickly, along the way there are many small steps, rapids,and tree trunks, so it probably does not freeze.
It's a pity that the camera's battery died quickly, the variability of views would have been greater.

Actually, there was a question about this biotope (Sungir which)

It is located very close to the city,near the highway with a bunch of powerful spotlights and gas stations, etc.

Here is the location relative to the outskirts of the city (Vladimir)


BUT from the ravine itself, there is no direct line of sight of all this lighting. I'm thinking of fishing there for light in the season, I've already noticed a niche on the slope that offers a panorama of a large part of the biotope , while being below the horizon of the field behind which the road and the beginning of the city are located.
How many chances do I have for successful fishing?

By the way, here is a photo of the biotope in the summer, I apologize for the quality

Who do you want to catch out there?

And who will fly?)) I just haven't decided on my area of interest yet. Well, if very generically, then I think beetles and lepidoptera.

This is understandable. Just for catching beetles in the light, at least, the place is not very good.
