Moscow and the Moscow region

This is my second time there. The nature is amazing! I do not know where it burned last year. Visually, there are scorch marks on the pine mane trees from the outside (facing the field). On the terraces along the river, the variety of vegetation is high.
By the way, I forgot to write that I saw some motley stuff, but unfortunately I didn't take it.

Pestryanki there are interesting!
Do you hear any crickets?"

I didn't hear any crickets.
I saw a large moth with very long whiskers in a wet water meadow. The wings were brownish, I think with a copper sheen. I wonder what it could be.

Nemophora metallica, bullshit.
There is also a much more interesting Nemophora dumerilella, but it is small. Southern view in the region, north of the Oka River is not found.

Nah, now it's found on Volodarka. Together with violellus. And Diplodoma laichartingella. And a lot of things even less epic. Thanks to A. Zamesov for showing us normal biotopes instead of a dreary descent to the river. And by the way, there is also a lot of alcon there.

Isn't the leaf wrapper made of Lichens Pelochrista?

I had a thought that it was caecimaculana - but aemulana imho is similar more.

Suns today-not a single good butterfly. But a huge biomass of beetles! But first came the green grasshopper. A couple of large Cymindis with a long yellow patch on their shoulders-I didn't know that cymindis also fly to the light, Stenolophus skrimschiranus, a few Colon, a bunch of Leiodes, a large black but thin pollen-eater, a few small beetles that are still unidentifiable. Well, it was a night of invasive species-a massive flight of Alphitobius diaperinus, a few Anthicus floralis, most likely Dermestes haemorroidalis and Cyaneus angustus-where to go without it!

M. O., Poplar, peat bog
26.06.2020 On the umbrella of a stallion standing by the roadside, caught such an animal.
Cyrtoclytus capra?

I got to sukhodolov - terrible heat, snow in the shade, a monstrous number of horseflies. The mass age of Melanargia russiae is more than all the other diurnal butterflies combined. But if you fall with your face in the grass, the horseflies stop annoying, and you can see how many ripe meadow strawberries are right in front of you, and young mantises are walking. By the way, what kind of grasshopper is unripe? Tell me who can.

I'm sorry, but photos aren't attached. How do we get support from the forum's Armenian moderators and German editors? Or does everyone give a shit about everything, and only I have enough strength to ban?

I haven't been able to attach any photos since March.

The forest is dry, and the birds are no longer singing. There are old and wormy porcini mushrooms. I caught Spiris striata with a net in the grass. I lit up at night-it flies disgusting, there are almost no beetles. In total, I took 1 Colon and 1 Leiodes. Of the butterflies, I took only Eucarta virgo.

On the meadow near the pines on Voinovo Mountain, I noticed a lot of flowering Jacobea.
I wonder if anyone has ever met Tyria jacobaeae there?

The pine mane itself was on fire, and the slope down from it to the river was very far down.

I didn't see. There are really a lot of flowers this year.

Today I visited Voynova Gora and was not a little surprised when I mowed down Cucullia gnaphalii caterpillars from the goldenrod. From the oilman they have been sitting in cocoons for a long time, and these are only 2-3 years old. Cucullia asteris is also available there.

Tugolesye. Today. Two fresh Calamia tridens

Mid-August. South of the Moscow region, pine forest on sand dunes along the Oka river. My first experience using Barber traps.
I would like to know the opinion of forum members regarding the habitability of Carabus arcensis and Carabus hortensis in the Moscow region. In any case, both types were new to me.




The only gathering place for Carabus hortensis is a thicket of blueberries


Molodilo places usually, as well as blooming white flowers stonecrop

C. hortensis - the most common in MO karabus after nemoralis.

Which of these two (counting already with granulatus-three) is more common in the Moscow Region and in Moscow itself, I would not say for sure. Unless nemoralis definitely outweighs everyone on asphalt; in other biotopes, it is only more often than others that it is found under shelters and openly on the route, but in reality it is not always more numerous. By the way, it is in the city of Moscow in some places that hortensis can live en masse, several times more numerous even than granulatus and nemoralis living in the same areas combined; now it has a very active period, which will last approximately until the end of leaf fall and almost until the first frost.

Last night in Pestovo: Pennithera firmata, new to the region, turned out to be the second most abundant moth species after Dysstroma spp.

As expected for the west of the region, it was known from the Tver and Kaluga regions.

Everywhere it was not "known": in Ryazan [Bekshtrem, 1930], Voronezh [Vodyanov et al., 2005: 356], Tatarstan [Zhukov, 2009: 136], Penza [Shlykov, 1988: 51], and Kirov [Bakka and Mosyagina, 2017]. Volgograd (Anikin et al., 2017: 215) and Saratov (Kumakov and Korshunov, 1979: 172) regions.

These findings are, let's say, questionable.

But these (the quality of the photo, of course, leaves much to be desired.... but don't kick the piano player, he plays as well as he can)?

This one isn't, but it's from the northwest? PS: Thanks for the point!

I caught a male at the dacha near Zvenigorod about two weeks ago and yesterday a female in Tugolesye.

Last night in Pestovo: Pennithera firmata, new to the region, turned out to be the second most abundant moth species after Dysstroma spp.

The result of two nights in Tugolesye. From interesting things:

31.08-two Calamia tridens, one Gazoryctra ganna are born. Some fresh Staurophora celsia.

07.09 - another Calamia tridens (and crushed one in the grass near the screen), three Tiliacea citrago, five pieces of Staurophora celsia on the screen, a mass of Agrochola helvola, a female Pennithera firmata, Nycteola degenerana and suddenly two Catocala electa - somewhat torn, but bright and not at all junk. Gazoryctra ganna tried to mow during the day-without success.

On both nights, a bunch of Xylena solidaginis and Ammoconia caecimacula.

And in Tugolesye at the platform or in the side where?

Yes, citrago is doing well this year, but what did they forget in Tugolesye?

55.566634, 39.771083

And in Tugolesye at the platform or in the side where?

Hmm, the theme turns out to have a 100th anniversary page! In honor of this, I will report on several trips to the vicinity of the Belopesotskaya platform (Stupinsky district, point 1) and the village of Volodarsky (point 2). In principle, my trips to these two places this year were limited, except for the dacha and its surroundings. I only caught it during the day.

Ilya, thank you for a great report! I do not get tired of being amazed by your enthusiasm, especially since everything was collected during the day.

Now in Neftyanik. Something I think is Tiliacea aurago! Is it listed in the DOD? I don't remember her for some reason...

Wow! New view for Russia!

It's a good thing that after an hour of sitting on the screen, she didn't leave. Long thought, take - do not take

We need to take everything and then think about it!

Vlad, not new, and you seem to have personally seen the post in the "Definition of butterflies", the photo was from Rylsk.

So I forgot. I'll try to find it.
Upd: Yes, I found it: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?act=findpost&pid=1332545

This is back in 2012! But it's not in the second catalog!

Upd2: In 2019, it was brought to the Lipetsk region!
