Thank you, you correctly noticed the meaning. In general, when we told Pierfranco that we were going to write a report about our meeting with him for Russian collectors, he was very flattered. Surprisingly, I was allowed to take pictures of whatever I thought was necessary. It seems that having a collector's business card in the person of Anton, the trust was unlimited. It was the same at the home of Giuseppe Marazzi. In general, it seemed to me that all collectors are a big and friendly family, and here even language proficiency recedes into the background. Dedicated people understand each other without words.
As for Pierfranco, here, I was touched to the core. The man is 75 years old, and he still turns stones and with great pleasure makes five-kilometer tracks in the mountains. And even drinks a little wine...

The weather is currently warm, humid and overcast. The night light is very good - but there is not enough light for photographing!
I left some of the butterflies for a photo shoot tomorrow or the day after, I hope they don't die.
Here's what's happened so far...

Rhyacionia buoliana. This species is listed in the Russian catalog for many regions-but for some, apparently, by mistake: in the eighth, in particular, its close relative Rh. pinicolana lives, which was previously treated as a form of buoliana, for example, in the collection of Ludwig Albrecht, specimens near Moscow are signed as Retinia buoliana var. pinicolana - and in the publication on only the name buoliana is mentioned in this collection. So, in fact, it got into the 8th region of the catalog.
But there is no real Rh. buoliana in central Russia, but it is in England:

Maybe, but with this (not with packages!) it's usually in England that there are problems, and at night-not only in England. By the way, I liked the sunlight, whether direct or diffused, much less than the flash through the ring reflector (see the topic "cameras", there are illustrative examples). Perhaps it is somehow different with DSLRs, but logic suggests that the principles are the same and that if a soap dish with a flash turns out much better than without, then a DSLR will turn out similarly, plus much better than a soap dish. This is me from the point of view of distinguishing the details of morphology, artistic views on the photography of insects are inaccessible to me, as practice has shown. Maybe in artistic terms, the sun through a bag or without it will be better.
