Trap news.

Meconema meridionale, a recent European visitor to England, hobbled in. In the garden I see for the first time, although in the nearest forest park I observe somewhere since 2008.
A purely predatory genus, despite its exceptional plumpness. Eats aphids!

In general, the night was overcast, warm (only in the morning it dropped to 18 degrees) and humid. All, as you love (With)=) Poperli Hera, these kicks kicked out immediately, until all the others are not alarmed.

For the first time in the garden I see Acleris variegana:

Phycita roborella:

Hemistola chrysoprasaria. The second time I see it is in the garden. There's a lot of clematis growing in the culture here, but she doesn't really like it here:

I promise.
Boxwood fireflies (Cydalima perspectalis) decided to confirm their reputation and devoured the whole boxwood in my garden. In a week, probably, they managed: I didn't have time to blink, I look-and he's all devoured already!

You can't tell by the butterflies: it looks like the rains and cold weather have turned around, but the butterflies are flying. Hemistola chrysoprasaria was here again, and Ligdia adustata flew in for the first time in the garden, I think.

Oegoconia deauratella is still a quadripuncta:

Ditula angustiorana:

Fly Lymantria dispar. These comrades were probably considered extinct for the entire 20th century, but in recent years they have regained a foothold in London and the surrounding area. I have a second year of flying:

Cryphia algae, also a recent invader:

Hi everyone,
a couple of photos from my last "expedition" from August 6 to August 16.
5 days France Deportation Drome and 9 days Italy National. Primorsky Alps Park. It wasn't the best time for beetles, but there was at least some hope of catching something and exploring new places. The temperature was very high, everything dried out, but in France we managed to collect a little (even Carabus).
In Italy, I climbed only at an altitude of 2000 to 3000 meters, where only small Carabidae ran and found 1ex. Carabus solieri ssp. ligurabus
Bobochek was a lot of especially all sorts of Satyrs. I saw a lot of big caterpillars I don't know what (1 photo I made ) I took one with me and now there is a pupa in a dense cocoon, let's see what happens.
