Roman in the first photo a flowering plant is that heather? blooming??? Bees?

Yes, Oleg, this is heather. Blooms in full. I didn't see any bees - the weather was very bad

Today I did go to my favorite places, wander through a nice forest, get some air. Yes, and just enjoy nature, which, alas, will soon subside until spring.......
The pine forest has a lot of Polish mushrooms: As I wrote last time "Though oblique braid"
This time I scored myself a fry and what will remain to freeze for the winter. I collected exclusively Polish and only young mushrooms until they were zacherviveli.
I collected again a little bit of Upis ceramboides (there is practically no one else).
I was expecting to see the goldfish Chalcophora mariana: I didn't see it. Apparently the weather let you down
I didn't take a camera, so there will only be a couple of photo charges.

Yes, and here, not far from home, it comes across only sometimes and in isolated instances. And if you drive away from Moscow far away-the beetle is massive. Such are the cases: apparently democracy speaks for itself.

Rather not ecology, but the presence of swamps... Upis is practically " tied to swamps (although developed). At one time (somewhere in 93-94) Nikitsky was very surprised by my words that in the Pavlovo-Posadsky district of the Moscow Region (near Elektrogorsk) I saw upisa nemeryano, and even collected a series. He thought that this bug was extremely rare...

The same direction of the railway: "Gorkovskoe". Here's how-just swamps there are full, including the area in which I drive now: 117 km. from Moscow on the same road. By the way: Upis can now be found under the bark of everything (aspen, birch, pine), and most of all I find it on aspen, and not on birch. At least right now go and get a bucket instead of mushrooms

I am not very well versed in the definition of the species of Draughtsmen (Melitaeinae) and Mother-of-Pearl (Argynninae). In the photos, these are # 1 Field mother-of-pearl (Issoria lathone) and # 2, # 3 Phoebe's Draughtsman (Melitaea phoebe)?

Last year I saw it in the mass on the Khripansko-Doninskaya clearing on the fallen trunks of birch trees...
And Upis also "goes well" on an iron-concrete pole-about five years ago on the Tugolesye-Voimezhny stretch, along the iron almost every pole was sitting. At the same time, there were significantly more of them on the white-painted ones than on the gray, unpainted ones. Did he confuse them with the birch tree, poor fellow?..

Autumn came to Saratov, and with it sadness, melancholy and the school year

Not only in Saratov, it came.... Today we were there-where I got the reports this year: the same picture and torrential rain (soaked to the skin). But the mushrooms are wild: there is also a pleasant one In autumn From beetles: again some upis under the bark. I didn't collect it-that's enough. However, if you need someone: I will keep in mind.

Good day to all forum participants. This week (from September 16 to 22) I spent at the dacha (Ivanovo region, Shuisky district, the village of Krasnoarmeyskoye). The main purpose of the trip was just to have a good rest from the city bustle, pick mushrooms, catch butterflies. Of the butterflies, I really hoped to meet the lettuce silkworm (Lemonia dumi) and, looking ahead, I will say that my hopes came true, I managed to catch this species. But first things first.
I must say right away that the weather was very bad, most of the time it was just terrible (cloudy, windy, cold and rainy). If the weather was better and the fees were much richer. But, nevertheless, every day (except Friday and Sunday), he spent at least six hours a day in the field, and every evening, without exception, he caught the light.
During the day, the standard set of autumn species mostly flew-Issoria lathonia, Nymphalis xanthomelas, Aglais urticae, Polygonia c-album, Pieris napi and rapae, Colias hyale (surprisingly en masse - this year there are a lot of field yolks to outrage!), Polyommatus icarus from mace and Autographa gamma, Macdunnoughia confusa and Helicoverpa armigera made of mottled butterflies. Well, a very nice addition to this list is Lemonia dumi (I'll tell you more about his capture below). In general, during the day most of the time it was very difficult to meet at least some butterflies, as the weather was cloudy and windy, and only in short sunny windows did life wake up in the field.
I started my search for the lettuce silkworm on Tuesday, September 17. To do this, I made a hike along my standard route through the forest edges and dry meadows in the vicinity of the village of Polki. The weather on this day was very changeable: there were only two very short sunny windows, which were very quickly replaced by rain waves. There were very few butterflies, and on this day I caught only one butterfly - the metalworm Macdunnoughia confusa. But it was possible to collect caterpillars for cultivation. In general, not the most successful day.
On Thursday, September 19, I made a bicycle trip along the route Krasnoarmeyskoye village-Sergeevo village-Kleshchevka village-Aleshevo village. It was much more interesting than on Tuesday. First, we managed to collect a fairly good series of mother-of-pearl Issoria lathonia of almost perfect quality (the question is-what generation is this? "second or third?" The copies are of very good quality.). Secondly, I caught the freshest male Pieris rapae. But the most important meeting was waiting for me at the entrance to the village of Aleshevo. Driving past an abandoned quarry, I noticed that from the direction of sukhodolny meadow, a red butterfly, obviously with a different mustache, was rushing very quickly to the road. It was Lemonia dumi!!! Judging by the high speed and ease of flight - a male. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to catch this instance. A butterfly flew across the road and flew over the quarry, and you don't really chase it in the water. The second male silkworm lettuce I met on the way back, between the villages of Aleshevo and Kleshchevka. It was also impossible to catch him, as he was flying very high. In general, I immediately noticed that many butterflies in the daytime in the fall when they are startled begin to rise up, even those species for which this behavior is not typical. For example, whiteflies of the genus Pieris in the summer would run away from the net, simply increasing the speed of flight, but in the fall, when they are frightened, they for some reason took the fashion to climb up to an inaccessible height. Probably, ascending convective flows of warm air play a certain role here. Such are the observations. At the end of the trip, after d. Kleshchevka at the entrance to the village of Sergeevo, on the side of the road found a huge caterpillar Macrothylacia rubi. Surely there will be a female. I took the caterpillar for breeding.
On Friday, September 20 and Sunday, September 22, I didn't go anywhere because of heavy rain.
On Saturday, September 21, I went to the forest behind the village of Krasnoarmeyskoye and in the vicinity of the village of Polki (opposite bank of the Granddaughter River). I didn't set any entomological goals for myself, the only goal of this trip was to collect mushrooms. This goal was successfully completed! I managed to collect a full basket of mushrooms, including twenty-five small and medium-sized white ones. In general, mushroom soup and zharekha are guaranteed!
But the most successful day in terms of day fishing was Wednesday, September 18. On this day, I took a walking tour along the route Krasnoarmeyskoye village-Polki village-Lomki village-the vicinity of Klochkovo village (the archaeological site "Ivanovo-Gorodishche", the so - called "oak grove" in my area), exploring dry meadows with yastrebinka-the main forage plant of Lemonia dumi. On Wednesday, I caught three butterflies and collected several caterpillars for breeding. In a dry meadow behind the village of Polki, I caught the Helicoverpa armigera scoopwort and the Colias hyale grasshopper. Both butterflies were quite good quality. Among the caterpillars collected on this day in different places, I would like to note the unusual shape of the caterpillar of the hawk moth (Smerinthus ocellata) with rows of red spots on the sides, two Macrothylacia rubi, and Notodonta crested caterpillars ?ziczac, Clostera pigra, and Falcaria lacertinaria. The most valuable trophy was collected at the very beginning of the journey, at the entrance to the village of Polki. As I was walking along a barely discernible path that stretched across a dry meadow, I suddenly noticed that something red fluttered almost directly from under my feet and quickly flew. I reacted instantly and immediately chased after this object. How I chased this butterfly, you should have seen from the side! He missed, fell, rose, and ran again. But I still caught the butterfly. I'd only gotten a glimpse of it during the flight, so when I looked into the net, I had a rough idea of who it would be. And exactly! Lemonia dumi!! The female!!! I will not hide that this was the main goal of the trip for butterflies, and I managed to fulfill it!!!
I'll say a few words about night fishing. I caught the light every night during this week, even despite the weather that was not very suitable for this business on some evenings. Most of the evenings, with the exception of one, it flew very poorly, almost not at all. And only on the night from Thursday (September 19) to Friday (September 20), the light was more or less decent. Here is an almost complete list of what I managed to catch at night in the light: scoops Agrotis ipsilon, Lithophane ?ornitopus, Blepharita amica, Helicoverpa armigera, Conistra rubiginea, Macdunnoughia confusa, moth moth Habrosyne pyritoides, moth moth Ennomos autumnaria, Operophtera ?brumata/fagata, Thera juniperata. I would also like to say a few words about some of the oddities I noticed this season. First, the almost complete absence of the genus Catocala. During the entire season, I encountered only a dozen C. fulminea and one C. pacta. Other species of the genus Catocala (including the blue and red order ribbon) were not found at all until the very last moment. It was only in autumn that five C. fraxini and one C. nupta finally arrived. Secondly, the complete absence of scoops of the genus Agrochola. Even the most banal type of A. circellaris wasn't there. Third, a much smaller number of scoops of the genus Xanthia than usual. X. icteritia was a rarity this year, arriving only in individual, isolated specimens. X. togata was caught only once this season. And fourth, an increased amount of Pseudoips prasinana. Previously, in all the past years, I met this species only once, while in August of this year I managed to collect a good series of ten copies.

A few photos in addition:
































As I wrote above, this week, spent in the country, we managed to collect several caterpillars for subsequent breeding. Here's a photo:

Smerinthus ocellata (Linnaeus, 1758)





Notodonta ?ziczac (Linnaeus, 1758)










Notodonta ?torva (Hubner, 1803)





In comparison with each other:




Clostera pigra (Hufnagel, 1766)



Falcaria lacertinaria (Linnaeus, 1758)



Macrothylacia rubi (Linnaeus, 1758)


Well, as a matter of fact, the catch:




Lemonia dumi, (Linnaeus, 1758)

Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel, 1766)

Lithophane ornitopus (Hufnagel, 1766)


PS Next week, in the middle zone of Russia, they promise terrible weather in general - only 6-8 degrees of heat in the afternoon. It is clear that in this weather, any entomological fees are out of the question. So, unfortunately, it was most likely the end of the season. But we will believe in the best and maybe we will still have a relatively warm first half of October...

Third, at least. In the Moscow region, the second generation takes off in the second half of June, and then it is very problematic to determine the timing of the summer of generations and the belonging of a particular butterfly to a particular generation, because before the onset of frost, butterflies of varying degrees of freshness occur simultaneously.

And what time frame do you have for the first generation to fly?

In the Ivanovo region - May (from the 10th day) until the beginning of June.

From the first days of May to the middle of June.

If you mean the instance that I circled in red




then this is also a Helicoverpa armigera.

To put it mildly, September is "not in the red army" Yesterday from lunch it started raining with a squally wind, by 3-4 hours snow was added to it smoothly turning into a blizzard and so it lasted almost until the morning And now I found it on the asphalt near the house....

If the size is like Ulochlaena hirta - then it is most likely Tholera hilaris - which is just smaller than decimalis and should be there.

And molodilo in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation? Or in the regional CC? In the Ministry of Defense, I know where it is widespread, as well as in the Yaroslavl region.

The mushroom year is rare. I've already eaten too many Polish ones to disgust and the whole freezer is full of them for the winter. And why do people not like them even though they turn blue? Probably they just don't know that there are no poisonous bolete (tubular) mushrooms in central Russia: only the satanic mushroom, and it doesn't grow everywhere. Gorkusha (gall mushroom) does not count-it is not poisonous, but it is simply impossible to eat it and there is no way to destroy the bitterness
