European part of Russia

The other day I had to go to the agrobiostation. So that the day was not completely lost, I decided to climb down to the bank of Sviyaga-to pick up some banals, because I always picked up 4 types of hands with them: Dyschirius arenosus, Dyschiriodes aeneus, D. tristis, D. neresheimeri( I hoped that nitidus:)), a full "gentleman's" set of bambi: articulatum, guttula, biguttatum, varium, dentellum, azurescens, assimile, etc.; at the same time, I hooked 1 Omophron, a couple of Georissus crenulatus, several Limnichus, 1-2 species of Heteroceridae, Aphodius plagiatus and some other (I haven't looked much yet) + A. rectus (I don't understand where it comes from in this city SO MUCH). From staffs 3-4 species of Stenus, a couple of species of Bledius, Erichsonius cinerascens, Philonthus rubripennis, even a few aleocharines from melancholy took (like from simple ones). From weevils-Lepyrus palustris, Hypera rumicis released.

25.04. I went to my usual "hunting grounds". The purpose of the trip was mainly to check out the traps set up a few days earlier. The weather was excellent, the sun was very warm. There were a lot of already well-worn spring diaries fluttering in the air, as well as the standard spring set of diaries: buckthorn, peacock's eye, urticaria, anglwing, and mourning. In the pine forest, there were a lot of small brown pigeons with bright green undersides of their wings (I don't know what kind of species it is, can someone tell me). Endomice cruised periodically, but somehow unsuccessfully, and I was too lazy to chase them along the burel. When I finally got to the traps, I was glad to see that there were quite a few beetles there. Since I haven't fully understood the charges yet, I'll limit myself to listing what caught my eye. On the developed peat bog, the traps were dominated by amars, agonums of obviously different species were present, pterostiches (it seems mainly oblongopunctatus, nigrita and strenuus, but probably someone else), oodes, panageus, badister (at first naked glance lacertosus), some bembidions, a lot of different staffs, a nutcracker was also caught, most likely hypnosis. In the abandoned field, the main prey turned out to be poeciluses, in addition to them there were anisodactylus, some small harpalas, bembidions, various amars, bradycellus, nutcrackers agriotes lineatus and obscurus, staffs, some interesting aphodium. On the wasteland, my prey was poecilus, agonum sexpunctatum, amara, and 4 carabus nitens. In the pine forest, I dug through the moose droppings, found a lot of aphodia nemoralis, prodromus and fimetarius. When I was on my way home, Myka proskarabeus came out to meet me, and I had to take her with me. That seems to be all. One of these days I will analyze the catch and if someone is interested, I will post the full list.

Callophrys rubi, probably. I also got them in the mass on April 26 at Melenok.

2Dmitrich: I also decided so, but since there is a full teapot in golubyanki, they will hesitate to write

Of course, Callophrys rubi, there really are not many pigeons with green underparts in the CIS, and if you meet one in the spring, then there is nothing to think about-Callophrys rubi.

Here they are, I caught them too.

Fourth day at the dacha in Kasimov, Ryazan region. I write via the crooked mobile Internet, so it is brief and without photos. The weather is great, getting warmer every day, but the nights are cold. I catch only from Monday (April 28). Polyxenes are already flying in full swing, although kirkazone is still absent even in sprouts. I found another station, it seems that where there is a kirkazon, there is also a polyxene. And today the swallowtails flew.Everything is fresh and pleasing to the eye. Callophrys rubi is simply in wild numbers on any bushes and trees, I have never seen such a thing. Males of zorka are numerous, but females are not caught. I still can't find mnemosyne :-( Some small fatheads fly, I'll determine later. And everything else flies that should fly. The nights are cold, which is probably why the pricked DRL-250 flies poorly. May beetles-perverts (one of 100 flying), hefty water lovers and swimmers fringed. There is no versicolor, pavonia, or tau. And males do not meet in the forest during the day. If anyone needs any of the above, write to me and I'll try to grab it :-)

PS. At Easter, I gave a gift to a local biology teacher-I found a chess-shaped hazel grouse at her direction north of the northern border of the area. Just one copy, but...

You also have ruby local. Just wondering how local this butterfly is where it is. Here we have exactly one point is not enough, you can not do without GPS, I have not noticed this in our diaries before. Thaler also writes that Ruby is a terrible territorial. In the Crimea, this is not observed writes okoem, so I wonder what all this is connected with

In the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, it is quite local, but it is not uncommon where it exists.

At home in the Moscow region, I rarely meet Ruby, perhaps very rarely. But in a radius of 50 km around the dacha (Kasimovsky district of the Ryazan region), the butterfly is found everywhere, in all biotopes, including my yard. I meet them on pine trees and birch trees, and near puddles on roads, in the forest, in the Oka floodplain, they flash everywhere. Moreover, I do not catch them and just see them from the car window when traveling.

Full of it in the Ministry of Defense, almost everywhere. Even in Moscow, it is not difficult to find.

It is also common in the Yaroslavl region.

May 01, Yaroslavl. The weather was just wonderful. I spent the whole day wandering around the forest in search of pavonias, even trying to lure males to the females born at home. Nothing. The males are like enchanted animals to me. But on the night of May 1 to 2, six female peacocks flew to the stab DRL - 250.

30.04. made a joint exit with Dmitry and Elizar. Since it was a working day, they decided to go for a walk right in the city center in the floodplain of the river.Kotorosl during the lunch break. We did a little digging on the bark of the poplars, found nothing worth traveling for, kicked the garbage on the shore, where I caught Agonum muelleri, Elizar poked at the dog's poop and extracted a couple of Aphodius sabulicola. Then we went to the confluence of the river.Kotorosl with the Volga, our goal was to see the fountains, where often floats something interesting. Along the way, numerous Opatrum sabulosum were found right on the edge of the sidewalk, and several Amara sp. were caught. When we reached the fountains, we found that they did not work, but they were filled with water and there were very, very many beetles floating in them. Margarinotus purpurascens dominated, and Amara sp. was not inferior in number. Among the less numerous representatives of the fountain fauna, we caught nutcrackers Agriotes, Aphodius sabulicola, Chrisolina sanguinolenta, some small jumping leaf beetles, small swimmers and water lovers (the latter, unlike all the others, felt good in the fountain). Elizar fished out some small baby fish, I found Lebia cruxminor and Anisodactilus signatus, and Dmitrich noticed a T-shirt at the bottom of the fountain, which after extraction turned out to be proskarabeus (and this is in the very center of the city). After that, very satisfied with themselves, they went to finish the working day and prepare for the holidays...

Guests arrived for the May holidays, which added to the hassle (pleasant, of course, but distracting from entomological research). But the guests partially compensated for "their fault" by delivering books from omara to me,Elizar,and Anthrenus (thanks again, Roman!). After all, on May 2, under the pretext of a picnic, he and his guests went to the forest (Borushki village, Borisoglebsky district, Yaroslavl region). I don't do butterflies, but I can't help but notice the flying swallowtails and zores (both males and females). Intermittent gatherings from communication with relatives yielded the following results (I name only the species, without quantitative indicators, that interested and replenished the" prey " of this season): Lochmaea crataegi, Anthonomus sp. (it is necessary to determine - mowing by bird cherry), Pachnephorus pilosus (previously I somehow did not come across this small leaf beetle), Rhagium mordax, Melanimon tibialis (for the first time I found this very local black calf for the Yaroslavl region in "their places"), Platycerus caraboides (a female, intensely blue in color-before I came across only blue-green, dark green and bronze with red legs), Anisotoma humeralis (under the bark of a rotten fallen pine trunk with myxomycetes). In general-May, warm, cherry blossoms, fairy tale!
  
  
  

It probably wasn't easy for the spider to grab Bombilius major!

To catch up, tomorrow I will post a report on fishing in the south of the Ryazan region-although I didn't catch anything outstanding (I caught it at night with a lamp), but suddenly someone is interested.

I don't know about the worn tau, but the pavonias in the south of Ryazan only flew 4 days ago. And I see swallowtails at my dacha in Orekhovo at the end of April every year.

I don't know about the worn tau, but the pavonias in the south of Ryazan only flew 4 days ago. And I see swallowtails at my dacha in Orekhovo at the end of April every year.

At me in the north of the Ryazan region I didn't wait for pavoniums yet:-( Whether it was early (very cold nights), or the place is not suitable for them. And at the end of April in the Moscow region, snow still often lies in places... It's only the last few years that have been so warm. Last year, the swallowtails flew simultaneously with the polyxenes, i.e. on the 15th of May (north of the Ryazan region). I always caught Tau in my city, starting from May 9, not earlier. And pavonius met in late May-early June near Kirzhach (Vladimir region). In any case, this year everything flew earlier. In general, for me, it's better to lose time than to be late, but I catch it for my own pleasure.

In general, year after year, of course, it is not necessary, but Pavonia in O-Zuyevo is the latest on May 10. I also catch it for myself, I don't do it professionally, but the interest is huge. My Taus don't fly at all. Go to the PTZ I understand about 200 km? Yes, about the warm years, a year like that in 98 in the 20s of May, my linden hawks flew...

Simferopol highway is less than 100 km away, and you can get to the highway...

if you have so many peacocks, can't you catch some piglets?
And if you get eggs, then it's generally great.

To PTZ from MKAD on Simferopol highway no more than a hundred km

So, a report on a trip to the south of the Ryazan region from April 27 to May 01.
First, general impressions: nothing outstanding flew, three nights out of 4 with frosts. A little bit not about butterflies. The first photo is the Ranova River near the village where I fished (biting badly). The main attraction was the flocks of geese that make a week-long stop on their way north at a nearby fish farm. Every morning several thousand geese fly from the fish farm to the fields, and in the evening-back. It's an amazing sight. On the bank of the river there were many beetles (see photo), and at night herds of May and huge floaters. Even at night, a hedgehog came to feed on butterflies under the lamp.

I went to check my traps this morning. Of the carabuses, S. menetriesi was the leader in number, there were about a dozen of them, apparently this year the traps turned out to be in a place especially rich in this species. There were also quite a few C. arvensis, 6 specimens, and this is the first time this year that this species has been caught in such numbers. A lot of Poecilus came across, mostly P. versicolor, but there were also P. cupreus. Among the pterostiches, Pt.niger, Pt.melanarius, Pt.nigrita, Pt.oblongopunctatus, Pt.strenuus, and what appeared to be Pt.minor were present. Numerous were Anisodactylus binotatus. Among the harpals were H. tardus and another small species that I caught last time but never bothered to identify. The Amara were much smaller in number than before, but still quite plentiful. Among the agonums, A. moestum, A. sexpunctatum and some species of the subgenus Europhilus were found. In addition, Badister lacertosus, Oodes helopioides were caught. Of the beetles of other families, various staffs and nutcrackers (Agriotes) were abundant, and 2 T-shirts (proscarabeus) were trapped in an abandoned field.

So, a report on a trip to the south of the Ryazan region from April 27 to May 01.

On the bank of the river there were many beetles (see photo), and at night herds of May and huge floaters. Even at night, a hedgehog came to feed on butterflies under the lamp.

In the north-east of the Ryazan region, everything is the same, except for frosts, but with wind. And the fish bite badly May beetles flew to my lamp only late at night and in limited quantities. But " plavuntsy "(in fact - the big water lover Hydrous aterrimus), in the mass. On the night of May 1, during the period from 11 to 2 am, only 67 beetles were collected (for subsequent release). The fringed floater had only flown in once in all that time. There was also a female Copris lunaris and some kind of nimble dead-eater, I think, Necrodes littoralis. The same is true for diurnal butterflies, plus A. cardamines, V. antiopa, Z. polyxena, and C. argiolus. C night did not understand, and there were scoops, and sickle-wings, and moth, and crested. There was no Saturn

Hmm, I didn't think there were Dorcadions in the Ryazan region...

I know that Dorcadion holosericeum is marked for the Tula and Kaluga regions. I didn't know about Ryazan either...

I would know that this is a rarity could you collect a whole jar, half a liter

But we have dorkashi

2 sdi Pavonia is just great!!! It would be necessary for her already, but there are no cases in the wrong place, if all these exams were in August, at least it wouldn't be so offensive. And then every year the same

I have five years ago (burned down unfortunately) was a house near Tuma in the village of Novoanosovo, so there and close to no polixenes did not fly. Your place is clearly more productive, although I had more pavonias there than in the Moscow region.

Yes, that Pavonia you have both medium and pear peacock eyes fly, Moldova is generally a paradise for butterflies.

That's about the middle and especially pear for a long time nothing has been heard, and pavonia is not rare everywhere you catch. The situation with butterflies continues to worsen, even in the last 3-4 years of observations due to extensive mudslides. and in general, anthropoegna in general.

But what about the average peacock eye on the stamps of Moldova? I once collected stamps with butterflies (I have about 2 thousand different ones) and I remember well the average peacock eye on them. yes, and the anthropogenic impact is greater than in the Moscow region is difficult to imagine, and I'm very good at catching fish in Moscow, although night fishing is really bad with daytime fishing. It seems to me that either your place is not very suitable or you are not actively fishing enough.

Vitalik, you messed up - we have Saturnia pyri-Peacock-eyed pear! Pavonia doesn't run here, and neither does anyone else, including Tau.
We have them on our stamps, and even in the CC... But this is based on very old data. Currently, no one has seen them for a hundred years. Maybe somewhere it flies in small numbers, but this means that it does not fly far, but is this possible?

In principle, we do not catch much light. No one catches butterflies at all In good places, and no one catches them at all.
We only catch a few people in the world-me, Trofim, Shastik, and now Memes is starting to catch them. In total, we catch very little, almost several times a year. The fact is that there is simply no place to do this.. One to go around the villages, asking for houses to catch fish.. And not in all localities you can fish well.
I'm going to go to Stezhereny on 9-11, they know me there and invited me to come again. But it always takes time.

From work, as you know, even horses die like flies. So, in order not to go to the upper tundra ahead of time, I decided yesterday to run away from work an hour early and go fishing. To do this, I went down to the Oka River-not far and efficiently.
I wanted to catch Bembidion's and try to look for T-shirts, since there are a lot of clay scraps with colonies of single bees. At the same time, I thought to check the traps that I set on the same beroegu. It was not possible to check - a company was sitting next to the secret place and culturally consumed everything inside, so I passed by in order not to lose the traps.
On the cherished scraps with colonies of bees, it turned out not to be very good, only small and medium-sized ones flew, and even minks were only digging, as it seemed to me. Although the parasitic bees were right there, scurrying around. Fishing without a net, with one exhausteris quite difficult, but I still managed to get a few pieces, including one of the parasites. These do not sit still at all and are cautious - it is understandable, a special agent...
Actually, here they are:
[attachmentid ()=39729] [attachmentid()=39730] [attachmentid()=39731] [attachmentid()=39732]
Then went down to the water itself- "along the bembidion". These were rich, below I give their photos (as it seems to me - different types):
[attachmentid()=39738]

[attachmentid()=39739]

[attachmentid()=39740]

[attachmentid()=39741]

[attachmentid()=39742]

[attachmentid()=39743]

[attachmentid()=39744]

[attachmentid()=39745]
In the mass (no, not so much - In the MASS) on the soil (the soil, by the way, is clay) crawled - these leaf eaters:
[attachmentid ()=39734]
Found a fish nearby that was completely dead and therefore reached the desired condition. The condition was evaluated by flies and 1 Aphodius:
[attachmentid ()=39733]
What a riverbank without staphylinids - and they were there too! In addition to all sorts of small ordinary-looking ones, we met with a stand-out appearance:
[attachmentid ()=39735]
I also caught a couple of specimens of 2 types of Dyschirius "handpods":
[attachmentid ()=39736] [attachmentid()=39737]
That was the end of my climbing trip along the bank in the willow thicket and I set off on my way back. As expected, I didn't find any T-shirts

Pchelkii.... Halicts and their parasites sphecodes....
Sorry andren no but these are also interesting...
Bees without a net.... good reaction, I don't really get it anymore

Yes, I also don't have much without a net, I missed a lot more.
And the Andrens... I've shaken up the mattresses from previous years, picked out bee eardrums and a few other ones, so maybe they'll come across there
