European part of Russia

From mother-of-pearl-nothing at all. If you're talking about the photo , this is Novgorodsky district-D.Lesnaya street. It's the same in other places. Yesterday-a swamp in the Soletsky district-similarly, in the Porkhovsky district (Pskov region) - the same situation!

Sadly.
Is the passage to the swamp near lesnaya good?
I plan to go to the marshes in the Vidogoschi area at the end of June. I'll see what's in there.

There is no passage - there is an entrance to the swamp itself! A week ago, it was possible to go to the swamp, but because of the atrocities of beavers, farmers dug a ditch - now you have to jump over. If something happens-beep - we can go together - everything is more fun.

07.06.2017 Border of the Novgorod and Pskov regions. Twenty years ago, this field grew gorgeous potatoes! Last year, at this time, all the free space was covered with blooming tar, around which swarmed piles of Hemaris. And this year, somehow, everything is still sad. There are no flowers at all!!!

06.06.207-another attempt to meet O. jutta. Past again!!!

This is strange. In the Kirishsky district, as far as I know, on the swamp jutta was on the 7th, males and females. A little, though. In Novgorod should already be even more so... Mother-of-pearl was not, this is yes.

I monitor it regularly! I have fields near the marshes, so I look in whenever I can. Jutta wasn't here yesterday. today - tomorrow-rain, so on Saturday I will check again.

June 07, 2017, Wednesday.
Leningrad region, Kirishsky district.
In the swamp:
Callophrys rubi-often
Oeneis jutta – approximately 15 specimens. The females are fresh, the males are quite different in quality. From fresh to clear.
Along the railway:
Callophrys rubi-in the mass on white cruciferous
Anthocharis cardamines-often, males and females
of Artogeia napi-often, males and females
of Gonepteryx rhamni-singly, males and females
of Inachis io-singly
Poligonia c-album-one specimen.

I haven't seen any mother-of-pearl girls. Clossiana euphrosyne hasn't taken off yet. Clossiana frigga is not uncommon in this swamp every year. It takes off at the very end of the summer of Jutta, when only flying females are found from Jutta. Frigga butterflies like to sit on the flowers of rosemary.
On June 7, the rosemary didn't even bloom.
The jutta in this swampy area flies on the border of small pine trees and open space.
Frigga - on the open part. In the photo-brown bumps with the future cloudberry. Frigga sticks to them.

Pskov region, Porkhovsky district - the dry part of the swamp. Around the swamp - thickets of flowering mountain ash. The smell..... indescribable!!!

Another trip to the swamp. Bright sun, heat, stuffiness. Wow!!! I put on my boots, took a net, closed the car, climbed over the ditch, caught one Clossiana euphrosyne and ran back to the car - it was raining like a bucket! Here is the actual nanopod.

And here, in fact, is the entrance to the swamp itself. Just beyond this ditch, the wet realm begins. The inscription on the sign, however, some dumb.

Well, I went to visit the swamp,
Oeneis jutta-I see it hasn't flown yet, I haven't met any
Gonepteryx rhamni - I've seen it a couple of times, along the road
Anthocharis cardamines - a couple of males
Callophrys rubi-massively, I've never got so much of it yet ))
taken more golubyanka, but not identified ((
a lot of raznousyh (two species en masse) and micro
mowed, photo catch later, while only the atmosphere ))

Well, what came across, unfortunately fotkayu on my knees

June 11 was a fine day, I visited the swamp and the surrounding forests. Of the marsh species, only Boloria eunomia was found. Rosemary blooms, cranberries bloom, all later than last year. There are also rare old ladies Gonepteryx rhamni, Aglais io, Polygonia c-album. There were Aporia crataegi, a bunch of different draughtsmen and pigeons, the usual moth for this time. Below is a short photo report.

On Monday, June 12, we went to Popovka. Waist-high grasslands - almost no beetles. The oaks are also empty - no bronzes, no barbels. The only more or less interesting find is that an empusa larva was caught.

Unfortunately, the underside of the wings for this pigeon could not be photographed. But a female flew nearby, the pictures of which are below. I thought it was a Cupido argiades, so I assumed it was a male of the same species. Please give us your opinion.

The photo shows a female argiades, but I would not draw conclusions about the male on this basis. In the Chernihiv region, both species are often found together.

Yesterday was the first more or less rainless day of the week. Dropped in not a swamp-silence! Only here is such here is blednyushku caught.

In Pskov or Novgorod it will be a female Calliteara pudibunda

This podi gang, podi not gang, was caught more than once, but it was always a rich gray color, and then it somehow turned very pale.

The tar was just beginning to bloom. Everything is late this year. Usually there are a lot of bumblebees here. And now... only lone bumblebees.

Another visit to the swamp-Clossiana euphrosyne is so much that you don't need to run after it! Otherwise, it's pretty boring, if you don't take into account the mass of all kinds of moth and horseflies of various sizes.

Bazarno-Karabulaksky district, Alekseyevka village district, 18. VI. 2017

It's wet. It's dirty. Dull.
Nevertheless, it wasn't a bad trip. In Alekseyevka, for some reason, they sawed a lot of pines and long-whiskered Acanthocinus aedilis was found on the logs (damn, the whiskers didn't fit into the frame again). On the edge of a pine forest on a popovnik (Leucanthemum vulgare) I collected a series of Microplontus campestris and Diplapion stolidum. And from the clover mowed down a couple of Tychius polylineatus. These are all new types of weevils for me. On the common bruise (Echium vulgare), I collected a lot of Phytoecia (Opsilia) coerulescens (and I was looking for Mogulones geographicus, but I didn't find it). The funny thing is-on the roads, as in spring, regularly come across racehorses and dorcadions!

The heat is impossible, then heavy precipitation - today's reality of Novgorod region. Mnemosyne flew out-females with or without sphragis. Two days ago I didn't see any of them, but today I see 5-6 pieces at once. Below is its biotope.

Slightly late report
of the YAO, Uglich district, Petrin Mokh swamp on June 18, 2017.
I went out to check on the Jutta population (I couldn't do it before because of the busy schedule/weather/bad health).
This year, the water in the swamps and forests until the "can't" ,
went knee-deep in water. I found Yuttu - they fly with varying degrees of difficulty. In addition to them, efrosiny - in the swamp and near, on the "islands" of a pile of frayed raspberries and lemongrass. Still unsuccessfully "knocked down" a bluish chervonets. There was nothing else from the diaries. True, by the river on the way to the swamp I saw a lone mnemosyne.
Interesting beetles include Donacia obscura (1); Orithales serraticornis (1); Sericus ?brunneussulcipennis (2); Mycetina cruciata (1); Onthophagus nuchicornis (1) (in canine(?) g-not in the field); some small grinder from the genus Ernobius; a couple of coniferous Magdalis; interesting swamp softlings. The rest is banal...
And finally, a few photos:
jutta station

wild rosemary blooms in full bloom

actually jutta

I tried to take a photo of chistina through the" thickets " of the sheiktseria, but I sat down .opoy in wet moss and "filled up" the horizon

This year, the theme of visiting the swamps is very popular. I'll add a little more. On June 18, I visited the swamp for the second time, about which I posted my previous report of June 12. Actually, the marsh lepidofauna is the same (i.e. nothing but Boloria eunomia), although fresh Scopula virgulata was added, and a large number of Odezia atrata and Heteropterus morpheus flew out on the lawns next to the swamp. Cranberries are blooming profusely, rosemary is also still in bloom. Gulls thrive on a nearby lake.

5 Heteropterus-morpheus

6 Scopula-virgulata


On June 20, I looked at another high swamp - completely without wild rosemary, sedge-moss, with non-flowering cranberries on hummocks and low pine trees. Life is richer here. If you do not move your head or eyes, there are always 5 to 10 fluttering mother - of-pearl birds in the field of view-Boloria aquilonaris (in the predominant amount) and Boloria eunomia. If you look around, you can see many dozens of mother-of-pearl. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything else specifically marsh - like-pigeons, egg yolks, and sennits, not to mention the particularly popular jutta. In addition to these species, there are several very active draughtsmen Melitaea athalia (they sit on clothes all the time), ubiquitous Ematurga atomaria, occasionally raspberries, Euclidia mi, hawthorns, micras. Horseflies are plentiful. In the forest near the edge of the swamp, Cybosia mesomella often fly over, young Bupalus piniaria frolic near the pines, and sometimes you see startled Macaria liturata. From bulavovyh - Boloria euphrosyne and, occasionally, Lopinga achine.

After the swamp, I went to wander along the forest roads. It's more interesting here. Luxury Limenitis populi sit on the road dirt, often next to Limenitis camilla, and with them Neptis sappho. Fresh Angerona prunaria is often seen. Hypomecis punctinalis sit on the trunks. Hawthorns, thickheads, abundance Coenonympha hero, Brenthisino. Large mother-of-pearl varieties-Argynnis paphia and Argynnis adippe / aglaja-are not yet visible.

It became quite interesting when I came to a large puddle on the road. Dozens of various moth-like butterflies of all sizes lay on the water. It seems that the collector laid out the mattresses with their collections, and already spread the catch. Of these butterflies, I met many outside the puddle, and some are completely new to me, I met for the first time. Some butterflies that had just fallen into the water were alive and active, trying to swim out, and I saved them. The strongest (Angerona prunaria, Hypomecis punctinalis) immediately flew away, some again tried to sit on the water, had to be driven away. The same pattern was repeated on all the more or less large road puddles. The pictures show some of the "drowned people", but I could not identify all of them. Please tell us what these types are.

And we have a direct invasion of mnemosyne of some kind! Wherever you go, they're everywhere. I think even the spiders are tired of them.

And we have a direct invasion of mnemosyne of some kind! Wherever you go, they're everywhere. I think even the spiders are tired of them.

We have the first mnemosyne appeared in mid-May, the peak number was in late May-early June, now you will not find any.

Today's catch. I can't understand - everything seems to be the same?! Or is there something wrong?

It's all the same. Atalia.

Today's visit to your favorite swamp. From the diaries - all the same B. euphrosyne in the mass, and C. hero From the new-C. paleno flew out.

From June 17 to 19, I went to the Pskov village (Opochetsky district). So there with daytime even worse than in the Leningrad region! Despite the fact that in those days just caught good weather. A year like this, you can't do anything...

Exactly, the year is unfavorable. For several years in a row, Limenitis populi flew out at the end of May, and this year it was 3 weeks later.
