European part of Russia

I agree, a mysterious stranger. And don't look at Bystryanka, she's on the same mattress?

is Oxicesta geographica the second generation or is it so much longer? I caught it near Belogorye in early May [/url]

The second generation. The first is until mid-May. From caterpillars collected on milkweed in late May-early June, butterflies are already obtained by mid-July.

It seemed that the second generation is more numerous. The first in those places is the beginning of May, it is larger, the second is smaller.

The first generation is very long-playing, comes out in waves, splashed around the first generation specimens noted in those parts right up to mid-June.

What can you expect near Vladimir from August 3 to August 10?

Here is a modest report on the Kaluga region, all about the second half of June, the first of July.Caught in prilyadku, near a pile of mismatched logs, there were several series of soil and 3 pieces of crown on honey-beer-yeast.There are several unidentified green ground beetles near the gebleri series??? and Chlenius???.The box with deer is the beginning of the material distribution from a trip to Volgograd,Voronezh and the Astral region with a Black Coleopter from 08.06 to 12.06., but the report with the photo session will be later, in the photo it is khlenius and barbel-approximately determined, also a male German wasp and a cool predatory wasp???.I can take something to the congress,write to us.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a strange tire iron.

What's weird?When photographing, there is a slight distortion of the overall plan to the sides, from the center, but what else?Show your correct ones, if any!

Maxim, the straightening is normal, but why is the die so punctured with a pin? Above your head. It's rare to see this. Although, if only there are boxes hanging on the wall... Maybe this surprised Alexander?

Alexey,do you have any serious recommendations, for example, from Linnaeus, about glued insects on dies, where the ent should be? pin-at the top or bottom, this is one, the second - someone uses the services of callichirovannyh rasravschikov, from them come ready-made insects for putting in a box, if about the location of the needle-crime, then-loshara, I will rearrange, and cover up the holes!!!

There is no crime, the owner is a gentleman. Everyone mounts insects to their heart's content. If only carefully.

Of course, there are no recommendations from Linnaeus, but there are generally accepted norms for mounting various insects. If you have a collection without any pretensions to scientific knowledge, then mount it as you want.

To be honest, I did not think about this question,but apparently on long winter evenings I will have to re-pin according to the generally accepted,thank God there are not 300 tons of animals in the collection..

Deer with rhinos are still better to be pricked into the body, and not on the chopping block. When placed horizontally, the boxes do not sag? Or is it planned in the future to fit the beetle tightly to the bottom?

Vasily, I straighten the animals myself,well, the questions that arise in the course have to be solved, now they are adjacent to the bottom, then the question is - and the impaled large animals do not fit to the bottom, but hang in the air and do not rotate on a pin???

then the question is - and impaled large animals do not fit to the bottom, but hang in the air and do not rotate on a pin???

It is pinned with two pins or more on the sides (just fixing without punctures) and, accordingly, the beetle impaled directly on the steel pin will never bend. I'm so used to it. Well, the "trifle" is up to 20mm. it is already possible and on the die.

Today I once again went to the Vladimir region.
The result, let's say directly for insects, is so-so.
Bugs:
Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758): the most common, widespread beetle in those parts. Probably until the end of the summer it will be full there.
There are absolutely gorgeous logs, and there are no beetles on them . Even Monochamus sp. missing: amazing.......
Of the butterflies that pleased me, Coscinia cribraria (Linnaeus, 1758) was not found near the house.
From raznoustykh full of Nuns of all color variations. Mace-moustaches are all common at this time.
In general, the mining trip is not happy. One thing is pleasant: I found a good, old oak grove for the future.

"clumsy flower" obvious drift from household plots-rudbeckia.
marianas and acanthocinuses flew away in May and June - you still have summer going on
and the cribraria is just flying now (August, inclusive) according to the pine forests, last weekend the series was taken

Acanthocinus is generally strange. Although this is Griseus, and it's flying later than the usual edilis. But not so much: I was surprised when I saw it myself. Marianas now this is normal according to my observations: a year ago there was also caught 3 copies. already in August. But I have never seen a crib in Zheleznodorozhny and the district: apparently, like Mariana, you just need to get away from Moscow. By the way: this is the second time I've found cribraria on the trunks of pine trees during the day: apparently at night, it flies well into the light?

I would not say that it is very good, but it flies. in places where it is available-10-15 pcs/night

Yesterday, 20.07.2013
we again went to the Market Karabulak. This time we decided to go deeper into a specially protected forest of regional significance.

We were lucky enough to meet one of the most cruel beetles - the Lucanophagus Carabus. This dangerous predator runs into the trunks of oak trees and engages in a bloody battle with the largest male deer beetle (while not rarely losing its hind leg). The carabus attacks lucanus with a pair of symbiotic Glazoedka flies (one in each eye), which infect the eyes and make it impossible for the deer to successfully defend itself. The carabus easily gains the upper hand, knocks its prey to the ground and eats it, as shown in these photos.



There are a lot of mushrooms in the forest. We collected mushrooms, semi-white, white, buttercups and podberezovikov. Lots of cool umbrellas.



After walking about 4 km deep into the forest, we came to a very unusual place-pine trees (obviously not planted, which is already unusual!) on the sand at the top of the hill!!! Very nice place!








I collected few insects. It's still July. Got a very cool pine zlatka. I caught it automatically knocking it down with my hand)

I kept thinking, why do we have so few deer? that's the answer, we just glabry all ate a visual illustration in the paragraph about the limiting factors of Ilyukha, throw these pictures in the topic about QC

cool ocelata

Zlatka really cool: Buprestis octoguttata Linnaeus, 1758 All my life I dream of pomat it, but still nothing.... Congratulations

well, okay, in Saratov octoguttata is rare -there is no forest (normal pine forests), we often come across it, I thought that in Muscovy it goes in droves
so what's the big deal? it's the forest view that should be pressing to the north, at least for pine trees. maybe she doesn't like the fir tree and doesn't go far north?

We have it. That's for sure: http://insectamo.ru/coleo/50-zhuki/buprest...tis-octoguttata (single copy) there). But I don't get any. At least I'm running around in the right woods for her right now. So far only mariana, sometimes Buprestis haemorrhoidalis. Also on pine trees: Chrysobothris chrysostigma, Phaenops cyanea, Melanophila acuminata. I've never seen an octoguttate before. Riddle however.....

A mystery, however.....

maybe you just weren't in "those" places at "that" time? we have it crawling from the end of July to the middle of September (24.07-22.09 to be more precise), when there are almost no beetles and people go to the forest to pick mushrooms (adjusted for MO "+ - " 1-2 weeks)

Well, in principle, I plan to develop those places in the future (since May I have been riding there systematically this season). The forests there are suitable: beetle forests. And with transport from home is convenient. We'll see..... But I honestly doubt it. And I don't recall that it was very often highlighted in reports from the Moscow, Vladimir, Ryazan, Yaroslavl and other regions. The beetle is noticeable: does no one collect it?

I'm not talking specifically about your place, maybe it is there, maybe not, or maybe 100 meters to the left.... as it often happens (I gave my own extreme points for the Tambov region. biotope-as in Your and Ilyushin's (Mantispid) photos-mixed forest with a predominance of pine trees on the sand
if memory serves, then last year there was a whole mattress, but the truth is not local "Belarus-Ukraine-Moldova" beetle is not mass at all (like Mariana), but if you get there, you can heartily nail it up. she also has a variation of "in green" -just great! and finally I would put it from the underside not scientifically, but beautifully

- just great! and finally I would put it from the underside not scientifically, but beautifully

I completely agree, the bottom is even more beautiful than the top)
so I think now it's not on the die to glue it, but on a triangle of some kind

Some kind of cunning this zlatka, in the YAO it was collected in large quantities in young pine forests near Yaroslavl in the shaggy 1877 year. But later no one ever found it, although these pine forests were preserved (although they grew up and aged)... And on these pine forests I "rummage" for years ...dtsat and in July and in August.

My previous post, I forgot to register...

- Ilya and where did you get such interesting information about the ground beetle, deer beetle and"fly"??? In our country, this beetle is quite common in some biotopes...

To Vasily Feoktistov...
In what biotope were you lucky enough to find a pine sawtail (photo # 10) - I just went on a trip to the Penza "Finland" (Belaya River Shalkeev cordon) specifically day and night by sound looking for this species in the pine forests... to no avail... Of the long-whiskered ones, I didn't find only him and Sevchuk Laxmann in my region (I managed to collect everything else! See the article by Oliger, 1970-long whiskers and crickets of the Middle Volga region).

I found it in the same place where I collected pavonias: thinned pine plantations, on raspberries. Purely by chance: I noticed an interesting blacksmith and took a picture of the place there (again) good and whether it will still be.......

Oleg, since such a ground beetle is common in your region, it is understandable why the deer beetle is so rare. In the YAO of this zhuzha, too, "to the dirt", so she destroyed all the "deer"...

Dmitry, I very much doubt that this particular species is such a "specialized" hunter of the deer beetle, and even climbing for them in the oaks...

Oleg, Ilya was joking, but Roman and I picked it up...
But after all, "in every joke there is a share of jokes..." And suddenly the reason for the lack of "deer" is uneasiness with glabratus???

Night butterfly fishing with Badden
http://maxim-ryzhov.livejournal.com/134067.html

In my opinion, in the Kaluga region. all the land insects drowned, and were subsequently washed away by the torrents of rainwater to nowhere!In the forest there is just water, about low places in general-puddles and streams, as after the snow melts,and this is at temperatures up to 6C,in the forest and in the fields there is no one but starving bees and wasps-according to old-timers, this has never happened in my memory at the end of July!

We've had this rain for a week now - it pours intermittently every afternoon. At night it is cold 10-14 degrees... Insects seem to thin out a lot with the arrival of heat in August...

Well I do not know.....
Today I went to the Vladimir region. My sneaker-clad feet got wet, but I did get some people together.
2 types of mushroom staffs:
Oxyporus mannerheimi Gyllenhal, 1827 и Oxyporus maxillosus Fabricius, 1792
3 types of lichens/dippers:
1) Coscinia cribraria (Linnaeus, 1758)
2) Setina irrorella (Linnaeus, 1758)
3) Miltochrista miniata (Forster, 1771)
Still, it's better than nothing.
Do not hang your nose: nature lives despite the rains
Mushrooms are really small surprisingly .
