Happy New Year to all of you. Today I had to go to the dacha, Kaluga region. No snow,it's warm. I see it crawling on the ground. Probably thought it was spring.

Also in the Kaluga region, I went out into the forest several times, looking for wintering animals.20.12-mattress with beetles, Obninsk city district, and mattress with riders-Tarussky district, 26.12.About the number of riders on the mattress-everything for science, at the request of workers, Greenpeace participants-do not worry smile.gif!Question:are there any overwintering leaf beetles on the first mattress?? confused.gif IMG_7115.JPGIMG_7114.JPG

Maxim, was it all just running around in such numbers or did you get them out of the runaway?

Mikhail-in December, in our places, no one runs in the snow and without snow!!! smile.gif wink.gif Correctly, it is necessary to determine the places where some species overwinter-such as waiting out the winter diapause-in a scientific way.Then systematically ,with the use of tools, you check your guesses-you can finally find nothing.But you can tell by the population whether the search process is going on correctly,for example-K.granulatus-background view and there were logs-where up to several dozen specimens wintered at the same time.You can't just find rare species either-you have to be lucky or you need to know the point.In the Kaluga forests, for example,I did not find wall.gif wall.gifmenetria,clathratus,Nebria livida, nitens, etc .But somewhere they are there and there is a prospect of finding them confused.gif.If it is freezing and everything is frozen-do not go to lucche, but wait until a massive thaw or March-April-month...

in the anals, the theme "winter training camps"was lost. a useful topic where people shared their winter findings and methods. I think we need to revive the theme for those who "dig snow" in winter!
after one of the "Tsurikov" articles, I was greatly encouraged and collected a number of beetles that I no longer saw or saw only once! the meaning is simple - you need to take soil samples in different places-the stump is clear that on the placor there will be 0.00001 and then in the litter there is a different alignment. the most interesting winter samples with beetles I took on the bank of the pond wink.gif

It seems to me that this season you will not get a chance to try different ways of collecting beetlesrolleyes.gif, but at the beginning of the next one you can try it.We will read the matcha and wind it up.... umnik.gif

"various" is very likely to turn wink.gifout one of them you, Maxim, have already tried-picking logs jump.gif beer.gifis still a very effective method of fishing-soil samples or samples of another substrate with defrosting at home with long-distance separation of the catch. I successfully managed to take the coastal ones, there is an option with moss (there was even a thought with flags, but pale yellow)....there are still a bunch of options and thoughts, but this is not here wink.gif

For example, in the Republic of Belarus,in the same places near the town of Borisov,M. violaceus is found,it also winters,but no traces of it were found during all the exits to the forest.I have a couple from those places-I got into the soil at the end of July, and the beetles came out before wintering.So-Sychevyms.S. and I decided for ourselves-that they spend the winter not in logs, but in the litter or moss hummocks, or in the burrows of mice and moles.It is very difficult to verify our assumption-there is a lot of moss,the burrows are deep...It was decided not to waste time on all sorts of fiction and in general garbage, but to wait for the spring release of violaceus, at the end of April, and Seryoga will put together a good series for me, I really hope....And in winter it is necessary to deal with old collections-to put in order-to change-to sell-to put in a collection, and not to destroy natural wintering grounds, so here, imho..

I agree completely! every "winter digger" should understand his responsibility, because if the hemp crumbles, those whom he did not take, will surely die! but some people can't sit still or have nothing to sort out, or the tradition of "catching a beetle on January 1" smile.gifneeds to be approached wisely, especially since we are dealing with very fragile LIVING creatures, despite all their plasticity.

A particularly large number of people who want to pin down winter lawns were not found shuffle.gif.Often, almost nothing is caught.So the danger is ephemeral wink.gif.But sometimes you just want to take a walk-pick around, purely statistically mark the exit to the forest-field type jump.gif.Some of them walk through meters of snow-sometimes they ride BICYCLES through the forest!!!! smile.gif smile.gif

There are a number of species that can only be collected in large series during the winter : Dromius and related genera, many salpingids, and staffs. They just concentrate at this time and not in the stumps, but under the scales of living trees near the coml, a lot of rarities are collected only in this way. The last traps I removed on December 14 were soil traps-surprisingly, even karabuses fell into them along the riverbank, and of course the dominance of staffs is omaliins-for them now is the most important thing. And the Choleva family has only gone on a massive scale since the end of October. Many Omalinae are caught with the first frost. Therefore, they are often absent from the collections of most collectors.

That's what the branch-catch reports-is for...The rule is simple-caught,photographed, exposed.You can also display trees, an abandoned nest, the remains of a snake skin, and the list goes wink.gif smile.gifon ...Igor is right-whoever wants to catch and catches-he will catch. jump.gif beer.gif

Taken a week ago in the village of Preobrazhenovka, Dobrovsky district, Lipetsk region. They flew to the light above the door of the "winter quarters"! The lamp was weak.

The last butterfly spent the night in the freezer of the refrigerator. It didn't come to life after that. This means that these butterflies will probably not survive the current frosts.

I also went for mushrooms on the same days. Broke in! It's funny, because in the fall I almost didn't get anything... These are winter honey mushrooms. Very tasty!

These are all winter workers. Mother nature is not deceived by thaws, everything is in the spring.

Not quite so, the whole point here is most likely in the effective temperature. If the thaw turned out to be much longer, then early spring species would come out, like the Germans in January, for example.

This winter in central Russia turned out to be successful-both frosts and snow piled up. In contrast to the snowless years of 2014 and 2015, skis had to be used to move outside the city. As always in winter, we are surprised by the active spiders and insects in the snow. Below are some illustrations. January 18 is a frosty day, -11 degrees, motionless spiders on the surface of the snow covering the lake. January 29 thaw, +2 degrees. In addition to snow-crawling spiders, there are common winter "snow fleas" Hypogastrura nivicola. Two more different larvae with a length of ~30 mm, busily crawling, caught my eye: 3 * looks like a butterfly caterpillar (possibly Diaphora mendica), 4* with horizontal claws, it is not clear whose.
Dear biology experts, write to the forum the names of the larvae and spider species shown in the pictures. I am also very interested in the question of what they do not sleep in winter, what is the biological feasibility of such winter activity? Or are they, the "children of nature", no different from plants that are deceived by the heat and re-bloom in the long autumn right on the eve of the winter cold?

It is better to write this in the appropriate topics for identifying larvae and spiders - they will respond faster. The larva, which is not a caterpillar, is 100% soft-bodied, but cantharis or someone else, I pass here. They seem to be called "snow worms" by the bourgeoisie (or something like that). In general, the complex of species is quite common for a winter thaw. Here's a peacock's eye-something else, really strange, although I remember once in January I met, but it was quite an abnormal heat.
