I don't understand, I'm tormented - can I speak Latin?

Hello everyone!
At home, the Internet was cut down again, so I'm writing from work.
Weekend is also nothing, I managed to visit a couple of places and catch a lamp.

On the 12th-a trip to the vicinity of the PTZ, Luzhki (Serpukhov district)
On the road near Serpukhov, we were caught by a heavy downpour with a thunderstorm. I even had to stand on the side of the road and wait it out. It was raining almost horizontally, they were afraid that everything would be knocked down, and it was also inconvenient to roam on wet grass.
A lot of Muschampia tesselum, Pyrgus serratulae, Melitaea cinxia flew on the Luzhki-Respublika section, and sometimes Meleageria daphnis flew by. In general, of course, the total number of butterflies is small, less than usual. Pleasant meeting-we saw a hoopoe.

On the 14th-a trip to the Nerskaya River (Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, Podosinki-Nerskaya Square).
An attempt was made to pass to the right bank of the Nerskaya River. However, this was a bad idea, as the entire right bank was flooded with vacationers (for more information, see the topic about mermaids). I had to go to the left bank-and this is in the passage to the 3rd concrete block and to the clearing. It was already more pleasant in the clearing with the power line. There were myrmidons, from which fresh ones had to be chosen (there were not so many of them at all, as in August). Caught, it seems, an aberrative male, will be dealt with - I'll post a photo. There are maturnas, which are not very many, caught cinxia, ran after bumblebees, probably H. tytius, which also ran, but faster than us, hung over the flowers rarely and reluctantly.

In the evening of the same day, we went to the dacha near Zvenigorod, where the light was flying well, on chetverochka.
DRL-250-125 result:
Acronicta strigosa
Moma alpium
Charanica trigrammica
Euyphia picata
Eupithecia abietaria
Eupithecia sp
Drymonia dodonaea
Notodonta ziczac
Pterostoma palpinum
There were also ocellated, linden, medium wine hawkmoth, about two dozen scoops A. exclamationis, A. rumicis, A megacephala, Apamea sordens, Spilosoma lubricipeda

I'll post the photo later.

It's still a bad year in Moscow anyway, and there should be a lot of things flying at this time... Maybe it's the almost full moon that affects it, although it has already set by 2 o'clock?
In general, something strange is happening to me with crested birds, in the second generation they are generally full, and in the first few... Maybe the first generation is stretched (2 months) and the second generation is limited (no more than a month)?

Caught two days in Balashikha. 18 and 19. On Thursday, I decided to go to the field (near the area of 33 km), next to this field there is a beautiful coniferous forest, the first thing I caught was 2 Autographa gamma specimens, I got one female Colias hyale and Pieris napi.Coenonympha pamphilus was often encountered. I found several Ochlodes sylvanus, also very often came across moth Siona lineata, one thick-headed (similar to some Carcharodus, did not determine yet), caudate (like plum),came across bronzes, also caught 2 ex. glaucopsyche alexis. There were a few more banals Aglais urticae and gonepteryx rhamni female. That was the end of the hike. I took photos of the fishing trip:
Such bushes were very fond of bronzes and bumblebees





But the area itself



The next day I went to Biserovo Lake, the same moth Siona lineata flew, very often Boloria selene, especially near the lake in wet meadows, Ochlodes sylvanus came across (mostly females, and only one male),
in a meadow near the forest itself I caught two male Diacrisia sannio bears, dragonflies began to fly, I saw one hawthorn (not caught up )there were no interesting beetles(only softlings flew). Of course, nothing extra interesting, but in general, I am happy with the trip, I returned last night and even managed to straighten some things, photos from the lake:

There is also a forest on the lake



Here I found selenium





When I left I took a general picture



The rest is on the straighteners.

Report on night fishing on DRL-250/125. M. O., Odintsovo district, Chigasovo, 21.06.2008.
The air temperature is +13
, nothing flew, not a fountain.
It is worth noting Hadena luteago (previously not yet caught)
Lomaspilis opis, which are surprisingly much more numerous than L. marginata
Plagodis dolabraria
Stegania cararia
Tetheella fluctuosa
Dypterygia scabriuscula

It's funny that the flight became better in the dead of night, after the victory of our national football team over the Dutch!

Phalera bucephala is quite fresh. Just started flying? I caught about a week ago and even then did not fly.
P.S. ALL RUSSIANS WITH a VICTORY!

A total of 3 specimens of P. bucephala arrived.
Two freshest males (they are in the photo) and one already pretty shabby.

Were there any hawkmoths?

I really liked the copy in the bottom row, 3rd from the left. Who is it?

Someone already has rhinos flying. I don't have a single large beetle.

Someone already has rhinos flying. I don't have a single large beetle.

If it arrives, should I catch it?

No, of course not. Let them live. It's just that last year the rhinos were already flying in the first days of May, and this year-none. In general, with beetles in the world this year is tight. But there are a lot of butterflies, but their composition is also different from last year's.

Roma, catch butterflies - all sorts of silkworms, hawkmoth, crested birds.. if they are

I have only banal hawkmoth - small and medium wine, eye-shaped, poplar, linden, bedstraw. I don't know who needs them. And only Ptilodon capucina and Phalera bucephala are crested, or was it that year! Different scoops fly, but I'm a teapot in them. True, I caught one interesting one for the Frost, I've never seen one like it.

No one reports on the raspberry scoop, or it is so banal in the Ministry of Defense that it is not even mentioned. I have them for a week, as they arrive, the butterfly is beautiful!

Yes, it's like a butterfly from the tropics! Last year it was full, but this year it's even .

I didn't have one. This weekend. But I didn't get it. Is it really rare?

I didn't have one. This weekend. But I didn't get it. Is it really rare?

Recently, it is quite common, but from 1994 to 2002 there was not one, and since 2003 they have appeared everywhere where I catch, in gradually increasing numbers.

Today I was in the PTZ (Meadows and Springs), the weather let me down a little, but I still fished
I ran into a moose, which ran screaming away from me into the woods
in general, here is:
Hesperidae:
Carcharodus flocciferus
Muschampia tessellum

Lycaenidae:
Satyrium pruni
Lycaena virgaureae
L. dispar
L. alciphron
Cupido minimus
Plebejus argyrognomon

Satyridae:
Coenonympha arcania
Lopinga achine

Nymphalidae:
Melitaea athalia
M. cinxia
Euphydryas maturna
Brenthis ino

Hepialidae:
Phymatopus hecta (flew over the grass, eggs were bamborded)

Zygaenidae:
Zygaena osterodensis

Geometridae:
Idaea serpentata

Finally, the forum has started working.
As it turned out, Beetle and I were in the Meadows in parallel, independently of each other!
What can I add? On Prioksky meadows I have in general the same thing. There aren't many butterflies at all.
In front of the settled expanses near d.Luzhki and Respublika we visited the forest area east of the reserve. The goal was to find the upper swamp and its characteristic butterflies. They found only low-lying swamps with an abundance of elk manure ticks and a small amount of V. optilete, which were also successfully photographed (photo - a little later in the topic about pigeons). Near the Danki-Igumnovo highway, we explored a lovely lake, along the banks of which grow wild rosemary, heather and blueberries, birch trees sharpened by beavers are lying around.

The result of almost three weeks of fishing, mainly in the light, MO, Stupinsky district.
The weather, to be honest, did not please me at all for most of the time, a few warm days, and mostly cold and summery. A lot of butterflies are only isolated. The best year is yesterday, finally flew really well.
Spread over 3 weeks, so there are also June butterflies...
Bears
Atolmis rubricollis
Cybosia mesomella
Miltochrista miniata
Eilema complana or Eilema lurideola (I haven't determined yet, I can't say for sure yet)
Diacrisia sannio
Spilosoma (all species)

Sickle-
flies Drepana
falcataria Habrosyne pyritoides (not enough of them this year, but I caught a female on an oak tree, fed on juice flowing from cracks in the bark, and by the way, I caught other interesting butterflies on this oak tree)
Tethea ocularis
Thyatira batis

Epiplemids
well, it's clear who

from thin shells only hop, almost flew off...

Cocoonworms
were hatched from the cocoons of euphorbiaceae 2 males and a female, 2 more cocoons lie
and their mass flies, once as many as 6 pieces flew, females also sometimes fly. only fresh ones, still fully "stuffed" with eggs, fly up and start crawling on the ground...
in general, the usual species, I would say
yesterday ringed flew
once a female Gastropacha populifolia


Calliteara pudibunda
Arctornis l-nigrum
Euproctis similis

Crested birds (rarely flew at all)
Pheosia gnoma
Notodonta dromedarius
Phalera bucephala
Pterostoma palpina
Ptilodon capucina (yesterday the female arrived, collected eggs, I will hatch)
Gluphisia crenata
Furcula bifida


There are very few medium-sized wine hawks in general this year, there are more small ones, milkweed has flown to the light, bedstraw trees are always full, poplar trees arrived yesterday for the first time this year, linden trees have already flown away, and eye-shaped ones, except for last night, when they flew in dozens, before that only a few came across.

to AntSkr:
Cool catch!

On July 8-9, I fished in the vicinity of 33 km square (this is in the direction of Vladimir from the Kursky railway station, Balashikha near Moscow).There were many males of Maniola jurtina (there were almost no females).Missed a male Apatura ilia flying in the puddles. But this was soon compensated for by the capture of Carcharodus flocciferus (photo below).Caught a very fresh Lycaena dispar.I took a few pieces of Celastrina argiolus, two female Diacrisia sannio bears.And of course there were Aglais urticae (one agreed to be photographed).Lycaena virgaureae and Aphantopus hyperantus flew on daisies.
















After that, I went to my dacha (Kupavna Square, one stop by train from the places where I caught fish). The night was going to be warm, and of course night fishing was coming , many scoops and small moths were flying. From the family Geometridae were Thalera fimbrialis and like Geometra papilionaria (the second was not exactly defined yet). Of the hawk moth, only the ocular one. The scavenger Angerona prunaria and many others (naturally not yet defined) arrived, and there was also one May beetle.






9 it was overcast so nothing outstanding and in the evening I was returning to Moscow
But the mattress

Something on the straightener

The end

May bug? Or maybe the June crunch Rhizotrogus solstitialis?

May bug? Or maybe the June crunch Rhizotrogus solstitialis?

Maybe. I haven't defined it yet. I can still detect butterflies, but I can't detect beetles by sight.

large perelivnitsy there, most likely, is not uncommon, in MO they are more common in the West of the region....

large perelivnitsy there, most likely, is not uncommon, in MO they are more common in the west of the region....

I catch large perelivnits in the MO in the north, 10 km from the 83 km Yarosla highway, both species fly in mass, but there are more large ones, but I have not observed large ones in the O-Zuevsky district.

Me too, with them in the east as well as with Egeria and dominula.

I've seen dominul on SE, though only a couple of times... and big perelivnitsy, although not every year, fly...

Yes, all in the same place as always in Marinka, Stupinsky district...

Yes, all in the same place as always in Marinka, Stupinsky district...

Well, this is still not quite the south-east: the right bank of the Moskva River, Podolsk upland - "western nature".

Good day to all.
There are several questions for the public:
-do Apollos still fly to MO? Their years aren't over yet? Does it make sense to go?
- C. dominula bears have been reported in fishing reports. Does anyone,anywhere catch Pericallia matronula?
Thank you to everyone who answers.

If you find Apollons in the MO, it will be a significant event. Not a sensation of course, but very interesting.

The Appolons are no longer in the MO. We once visited the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve, but this is a completely different story. Matronula in my opinion, too, no, I do not know, maybe when-thread a hundred years ago where-thread and was. And Dominuli are quite ordinary butterflies, regularly fly to the light (I have it regularly)

Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, this week. I didn't really watch the diaries, but some shortcomings in the photo collection were filled in (under aglai, alcifron, argiad...) From the interesting daphne (not for me, already tired!), as well as the elm tail. No one knows, in KKMO, as always, nonsense about five districts is written or the view is really infrequent?

There are a lot of them, but most of them have not yet been identified. It was possible to find an oak cocoonworm and a fat brown one that had not been seen since childhood. From moth: lilac, a lot of Camptogramma bilineata and Idaea dimidiata, as yet unknown villages and Thetidia smaragdaria; also Eversmannia exornata. From cocoonworms still pine and grass; hawkmoth-pine and elpenor. Already identified scoops: Cerapteryx graminis, a lot of some Xestia and Caradrina morpheus, Lygephila pastinum, Moma alpium, Mythimna conigera, Polypogon tentacularia, Diachrysia stenochrysis, Diachrysia chrysitis and the second find in the last 100 years in the MO Macrochilo cribrumalis; scoops Tethea or and Ochropacha duplaris. Of the little things, it should be noted Pyralis regalis. The rest (there is or will be in a week) - in the topic "definition of butterflies"!



I forgot someone!
