Ilya, and glistyanochka, which Glishrochilus case is not "American"???

I'm quite bad at them

I would like a better picture to see the shape of the spots and the color... At first glance it looks like G. quadrisignatus

On Easter weekend I went fishing on the Don near Volgograd. I was hoping that maybe the spini had already left, but no, they haven't flown yet. Along the way, in the Khopyorsky Nature Reserve, sprouts and crested grass are in full bloom, yellow tulips are in full bloom in the Zadonye steppes, and irises are in full bloom on Ilovla. During the day, the weather, unlike the Moscow winter, was warm, during the day the temperature reached 20 degrees, and in the sun it was even hotter, people went in only shortssmile.gif, the wind blew all day, and it was very strong, it was not comfortable on the Don, but hiding behind a hill, this problem could be solved. At night, however, the weather was not pleasant, only the first night was very warm (about 10 degrees after dark). There was nothing interesting at night, a few cuculias, and the rest I don't know why I took frown.gifa lot of animals On the screen, but they were the most common orthosias near Moscow (cerasi, populetti, inserts, crudes, munds, Gothic), ordinary spring moth and other mass butterflies. There were few dung beetles during the night. During the day, only one dorkash came across, but honestly I didn't spend much time searching for them smile.gifIn the glades of buttercups, the chanterelle crunchers were frolicking with might and main. During the day, ausonians and rapeseed whiteflies, some pigeons and wintering birds flew. In general, we just rested and enjoyed almost summer against the background of the Moscow winter!

Good people, has anything already flown in the northwest?

Can something fly if it's winter outside? However, the North-West is big, maybe you have warmer weather. On April 10, the only warm day, Archiearis moth was observed outside the city. Since then, we have been sitting wrapped up in fur coats and earflaps.

The day before yesterday, they were running around in droves.... and today-it's snowing, just like in Moldova!

Snow Moldavia - become a household name. Just like Sunny Moldova used to be. Nitsche, let's spend the winter! There was a desire to give a reportage from our yard, in a pure windbreak. I've never seen anything like this on TV. But the hand didn't come up. People are walking around dumbfounded, no one is doing anything, they have trampled down detours. City services somewhere in the center are sawing slowly, in the residential areas of taiga after the fall of Tung. a meteorite. And in the head of the thought-nature takes revenge.

22.04.2017 21:06, Andrei Dolgikh

Yes, something is wrong with nature here! At this time, spring species should be flying and crawling in full swing... An-no, utter silence whiteness.

Well, Ustyuzhna, from Vozhega far to the southwest, maybe it's better there. And the grass, yes, we do not burn, immediately cut off the hands and put in the opa beer.gif

I would have found signs of insect life in most winters - I would have had the desire, observation, and patience. Well, still the sun is desirable at least for an hour. And the temperature is at least -10. And in the north, the entomofauna should be more hardened and frost-resistant, because if we have an insect can safely wait for summer in diapause with a full guarantee of its onset,then everything is not so clear, you can skip it.

22.04.2017 23:25, Andrei Dolgikh

Well, except for the caterpillars of Phragmatobia fuliginosa, I didn't meet anyone in the winter.

23.04.2017 0:09, ИНО

I strongly suspect that they didn't look closely enough. These caterpillars are relatively large and easily visible, and in winter they are mostly small and nondescript animals are active: ticks, legtails, small diptera, cicadas, spiders... And the nature of the search is quite specific, not at all the same as in the warm season, when it goes to you from everywhere. Although one bright and catchy companion should in theory meet in winter and you - Pyrrhocoris apterus.

These comrades are outside the zone of my vital interests rolleyes.gif. I am not an American to try to impose on everything

And why put a paw on it? I took a picture, but I was glad that I met an insect in the winter. And for butterfly harvesting (if there is no way without it), you can wait for the summer.

Weather like a metronome, day-sunny, day-cloudy. Yesterday, during the break between work, I managed to catch some beetles. Along the way, I found a nest of an ordinary remez and a beaver bite.

So the heat came to Saratov. The first full-fledged weekend trip this year. We took the train to Kurdyum station, and from there we went to Mount Rokhmanka-
a hot spot for paragliders. We fished quite well, but the worst windmill got in the way, especially on the mountain. On the roads we have a standard spring set - 3 types of dorcas, 3 types of T-shirts and 2 types of horses. At the top of the mountain, we were surprised by the abundance of bieberstein tulip, hazel grouse, lumbago and crested grass. There were few weevils, but on bird toadstools and fox poo collected trox, 2 species of onthophagus and aphodia and 3 species of staphylinids.

Alexey, where was Pterostichus aterrimus caught? On the coast???
Today I tried to check the Agabus bifarius point near Yaroslavl. There are temporary reservoirs, but they are made of beetles-NOTHING weep.gifApparently the last dry years make themselves felt. Perhaps because of the dry years (and the last few years there was no water at the "point"), the population of Agabus bifarius collapsed...

Not quite on the coast, sparse birch forest (with an admixture of spruce), on a birch stump at the edge, in the stump there was a nest of Lasius sp. under the bark. But with the humidity everything is in order, a little further away there are already overgrown willows and swampy banks of the Rybinsk reservoir with ovbalovannye reservoirs.

A little Oryol spring April 30-May 1.
Cherry and pear blossoms. Again, almost the entire wasteland was burned out, young birches and wild rose bushes died.
A lot of fresh swallowtails frolic and quarrel on their plots. Hives again did not catch the eye, we have completely lost them. Only the peacock's eye and anguloptera, and even variegated wings are pleasing.

And now a little" spring " of St. Petersburg. On the eve of the next promised frosts and snowstorms. Today, half an hour away by train from Finlyandsky railway station, the forest near Pesochnaya Square. Sunny, +10. Bumblebees, limp lemongrass, a few peacocks, anglewings, and Archiearis springwings finally appeared. And some micra was sitting on a lime tree. Well, now we'll go back to the den until June: that's our St. Petersburg share.

We went 55 km yesterday. Spring is very late this year. Fishing was also hindered by a strong headwind, so the fees are modest, but an interesting beetle was picked up in groundhog burrows thanks to an innovative nanopalker from the "find and adapt" series (I want to patent it smile.gif

It's very cool outside, but it's good to have the sun. I visited several nearby reservoirs yesterday. The waters in the Rybinsk "sea" watered, soaked the heels of resting kebabs, and propped up fishermen who grew up everywhere like mushrooms. The forests are flooded. Beavers are happy, water and near-water birds too. A list of beetles is attached.

Sbycha mecht or 101 ilovlinsky bummer
April 29-May 1 of this year
Ilovlya is a long and at the same time very specific concept. I think that in the European part of Russia, this is one of those iconic places that every self-respecting entomologist should visit, along with Dosang, Thorn Forest, Belogorye, etc.
I dreamed of visiting those places for many years, but I still couldn't manage it. The main deterrent factors were and still are the lack of a personal car and a partner adventurer frown.gifMaps, satellite images, lists of species, long-term correspondence with local and visiting collectors, but still nothing.
Suddenly, I find out that friends are going in that direction and there is a place in the car. Hurray!!! With a "creak" I ask off at work, because it's the season of tick baiting, and I'm an "irreplaceable person" in this business and I'm already starting to pack my bags when I find out that the reservation has been "confirmed" for an empty seat weep.gifBummer # 1. More…
A friend and companion in the net, having heard my lamentations and stories about indescribable beauties and myriad species diversity, makes a strong-willed decision to leave the grumpy spouse and rush to Ilovlia on May Day. A specially trained person conducts maintenance of the generator, an inverter is purchased for safety, lamps are purchased, secret cards are printed. And here it is, that rare moment when you are glad to wake up at 4 in the morning. Things are loaded and the car carries me to the dream. Ilovlya, meet me! beer.gif
Ilovlya, turn to Olkhovka, the gasoline sensor shows that there are 100 km of solariums left, but there are a lot of settlements ahead and we will fill up there (so we thought). The farms along the Ilovlya-Olkhovka highway turned out to be "sparsely populated places" and only in Chernozubovka did we manage to catch an aboriginal who told us that the nearest gas station is in Solodcha, but it is private there, so it is most likely closed, which we were very surprised about. But there is no choice, and the planned fishing spots are in that direction, including going further. Solodcha is a fairly large settlement, if you believe the bold letters on the map. The villager shows us the way to the gas station, but still advises us to go to Olkhovka. We remember the sign "Olkhovka 82". At such moments, you understand how big Mother Russia is and how much relative distances are. There is only one gas station per 85 km! Game! The sign at the gas station in Solodcha has already been painted clean.
Well, hello, Olkhovka. We filled up gasoline for the generator, refueled the car, and went downtown to look for a store. We bought tea, sugar, cookies, a couple of packs of instant noodles – a small set, but I'll get back to it wink.gif
"Attractions": 1-A handwritten sign-board "hospital ↑ p.XXX 16 km"is bolted on a pole next to the ROVD. 2-A friend, on trips around the country, photographs monuments to Lenin. A worthy copy was included in his collection on the main square of Olkhovka. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo, and it would not convey the main "highlight" of this monument. Ilyich's right hand is stretched out slightly forward and clutches either his cap or the April theses. But vandals damaged the structure, and under the influence of the wind, the limb performs translational return movements swinging on the rebar.
The first parking place is a section of steppe near a ravine above the Mikhailovka farm. The day is hot and sunny, but ... another bummer-a squally wind. The day's work could be forgotten. Only at the bottom of the ravine were isolated rapeseed whiteflies and a couple of polyxenes, but I have enough of this stuff in Tambov. A banal bug crawled along the field road, causing despondency: Opatrum sabulosum, some Gonocephalum, Dorcadion carinatum and equestre, several types of T-shirts (very small M. variegatus surprised me, maybe it's not them?) and numerous Blaps. On the slopes of the ravine on the fading adonis and tulips, we managed to catch a few crunching chanterelles Pygopleurus vulpes, unfortunately only one female was caught. I have never seen this beetle in nature, so I was very interested in observing their behavior. The beetles behaved like bumblebees, breaking off and flying away from the flower at the slightest danger and continuously flying in the net when caught. And nothing more, nothing at all, just a terrible wind mad.gifOnly in the evening I was lucky enough to catch 1 instance of Dorcadion ? sareptanum. That's the whole catch from this beautiful place. Towards nightfall, I pulled on the ropes, but it was pointless to hang the screen because of the wind. The wind did not stop all night, it was very cold, the sky was clear with a growing moon and even the smallest stars could be seen. The set of winter clothes was very appropriate, and I just wished I'd brought my gloves. We had dinner in sukhomyatku, what we took from home, because we forgot to buy WATER! (returning to tea, sugar, etc.) For the same reason, I did not bury the glasses, although, as further practice will show, this did not make any sense.
Sasha plugged the air mattresses left for winter storage with corks, and the rubber around the corks cracked, since the mattresses could only be thrown out. We slept in the car in sleeping bags, warming it up every couple of hours. Even from the school physics course, we all remembered that all bodies shrink when they cool down. So, my body, in winter clothes and a sleeping bag, when cooling down, normally fit with my feet in the front seat of the kia Sorento.
In the morning we went back to Olkhovka to solve the problem with water and beer. In the local "magnet" there was a promotion "when buying any beer discount on dried bream 50%" than I hurried to take advantage wink.gifof the action just started and the imperfection of the cash register software did not miss the desired bream. To solve the problem, the entire store staff was mobilized-3 people, but the cursed tin did not give up and gave out any numbers except the necessary ones with a terrible squeak. Discontent grew in the queue that formed, and in order to avoid a riot, it was decided to just give me a fish wink.gif
We moved to a new place - the Ilovli floodplain just north of the Dmitrievka farm. A steppe limestone slope, a vast meadow, a fence of blooming thorns frames the strip ? white poplars or aspens, in a word, everything you can wish for. But the wind! mad.gif It didn't stop for a second, even though it wasn't as strong here in the lowlands.
On the road crawled all the same dorcas, T-shirts (but there were no questionable variegates) and blaps, but here Pimelia subglobosa and Tentyria nomas were added to them. After walking 50 meters, we entered the territory of the solute horses, they did not go beyond the invisible boundaries of the site of 10 meters, although there were no visible differences either in the vegetation cover or in the nature and composition of the soil. Then there was the same isolate with hundreds of Microdera.
I found a large dead vole on the road. I decided to use it as bait in a cup. He flattened the beer can, put the "game" on it, and held it down with a stick to make it easier to carry. I brought her back to the camp and started burying the glasses. I buried a line of 10 glasses, filled them, and left one under my arm. I turn around, but there's no mouse! The jar and stick are in the same place, but the mouse is not there!!! Some insidious and cunning Volgograd animal or birds stole my mouse, as soon as I turned mad.gifaway, I had to fill the glass with the head and intestines of bream.
It was getting dark... they lit up at 20: 30. Immediately, the first swallow – a female Xylena exsoleta (laid some eggs, let's try to bring it out) and almost together with it, a geotrup and a couple of copra collapsed on the screen. Well, that's it, poperloh! jump.gif Then the screen and the surrounding area were covered with Egira conspicillaris of all colors of the rainbow and a small standard set of spring platitudes of the middle band. Several pieces of Dicranura ulmi and Simyra dentinosa arrived. By 10 o'clock it became quite cold and the wind stopped. Until 11, I looked at the emptying screen, from which the wind tore the last Egira As weep.gifa result, there were 20 banal scoops and a dozen moths.
In the morning I decided to warm up with hot tea, I didn't buy it for nothing. Even at home, it was decided to take an electric kettle with us, because I strained with firewood, and we had a lot of electricity. I turned on the kettle – the generator turned off. Something's wrong. I look at the label of the kettle "2200 Watts", and we have only 1100 genes. Electricians we are still those pm even had no idea that such a setup could come outwall.gif, Drank teafrown.gif, Washed with ice water, went to look in 10 empty glasses. Only 2 spiders fell into them during the entire night! confused.gif In December, you can catch more fish in the middle of Tambov. teapot.gif And only the head of the bream smiled at me with Pseudotaphoxenus in parting.

From it, epishkin root! Already they take envies! And we have winter back again today-the snow is falling ...

A cold front with hail and thunderstorms passed this afternoon, followed by a two - hour downpour in the evening. Snow, however, is unlikely to reach. The image shows a weather archive with meteo7.ru.
