[ ... ] and also the elm tail. No one knows, in KKMO, as always, nonsense about five districts is written or the view is really infrequent?

Not often caught in the eye, let's say
They are a lot of places - just fly high.
And in the CC of course nonsense!

Lamellocossus terebra (male this time)

It is from last year Acossus terebra [Yakovlev R. V. 2007. Taxonomic notes on Acossus Dyar and Parahypopta Daniel (Cossidae). Nota Lepid. Vol. 30: 415-421.]

Where else had he been?

Yes, I just caught a male and a female in Lenkovo this year, I've never seen anything before.

Well, as long as you don't say anything, no one else will know.
They wanted to include this species in the CC MO as extinct!

And where in the O-Zuevsky district?

Where always, at his dacha, the village of Neftyanik, this is after the village of Snopka and Maysky. without reaching Parfenovo.

A quick summary of the last week.
Monday 14. I went to the dacha 83 km of the Yaroslavl highway. During the day in the area of small and large perelivnitsy, camilla, V(L) - white angloptera, dominula, etc. The night of the whole week was nothing outstanding, although the air was plentiful, but stupid. On Tuesday 15 was under the Kr Lighthouse. Well, Apollo came across badly beaten, red checkers flew, and some other large mottled birds. From interesting things in the forest, collecting blueberries, I scared off a black mottled bird with a combed mustache while it was drying. Yes, on my way back, I saw Apollons in almost all the villages I passed through. It seems its population is starting to expand. Mikhail, here is a rosette that grows not far from my dacha. All, all for now, I'm leaving for the dacha near Orekhov.

1) Apollons - you must understand, in the Vladimir region, not in Moscow?
2) Pestryanka, podi, Rhagades pruni...

And the socket looks like molodilo.

And the socket looks like molodilo.

And then! Specially photographed for me, People are looking for it all over the Moscow region, and Sergey has it growing freely. I should go see him...

I went out to the fields today with Nikitsky to check the window traps. In the traps there were a lot of small things, in one sapper-perforata, and in one a huge rider with a tail of probably 9 cm. And yet, the most glapvnoe, believe it or not-I saw Cerambyx scopoli! This reptile spilled for 10 m and I thought Ropalopus or scopoli, and then I saw it again, ran up and made sure that scopoli (in flight), barely knocked it down with my hand, and it fell into high thickets that I started to trample, but I didn't find the beetle anymore, so now it remains only for someone to find it catch it.

Gee! But I believe him - he sold his soul to the devil for beetles.

Nda, survived: Scopoli in MO. Soon the Lucanuses will be on their way, and Cerdo will come for them.. If they find enough oaks

I'll find something else interesting on the weekend

it looks like Alcon. Are you going to give it to me in this state?"??

This weekend I was in the village, catching the light and chuchut in the afternoon. Variety created no, garbage one. And the weather let me down.. I took several types to replace the old ones.
Total:
Pieridae:
Leptidea sinapis

Nymphalidae:
Araschnia levana
Argynnis paphia

Arctiidae:
Eilema lutarella

Drepanidae:
Drepana falcataria

Geometridae:
Chiasmia clathrata (almost completely black)
Geometra papilionaria
Cyclophora albipunctata

Noctuidae:
Autographa excelsa

... and in the forest ripened kostenika

Report on a trip to a dacha near Orekhovo. On the first day I went for mushrooms, on the way back, almost under the car, I found a male oak cocoonworm. By the way, why is it oak? The third time I catch it is in the area where there is no smell of oaks, probably eating willow. Until Thursday, I didn't catch anything interesting, the standard hawkmoth, dipper, crested owl, etc.You can single out the white-winged owl Aedia funesta, because it is beautiful, but not rare.
On Thursday, with Omar's "light hand", Mikhail (Mikee), who picked up Nikitsky, Rippera and A. Petrov and was traveling from Moscow, plus I, who was in a dacha nearby, went to knead the mud in search of some valuable barbel. I'll write about this separately.
The night shift from Friday to Saturday was noticeably different from all the others for the better. It all started with a female oak cocoonworm, continued with a milkweed hawk moth (for the first time in my MO), then a scoop Calyptra thalictri (very rare for me) and at three in the morning the arrival of a gray striped bear Coscinia cribraria, for the first time.

Last Friday, a landing party from me and Ripper courageously landed in the vicinity of my dacha. The task was harsh: to find and catch an exclusive Ripper from the Moscow region to replenish the collection within two days and at the same time be able to catch it into the light. Upon arrival, it was already dark (oh, these traffic jams!) and barely had time to turn on the lamp. There were very, very many butterflies flying - all some cool scoops that Frozz admired, and some others that were also cool. From what I know, there are 2 grass cocoonworms and bedstraw hawks and Catocala nupta. And I, as always, got crumbs - one Leiodes, large, round and bow-legged (yes, all on "K"), some bark beetles for Dzanat and a small incomprehensible Epuraea. On Saturday morning, we went first to the most remote point - behind the osmoderma. Upon arrival at the site, we come to a disappointing conclusion - osmoderma was still here recently, but was already moving away. One dead osmoderma (completely intact!)became a trophy. and one osmoderm leg. We expected more - but what to do! "we're off on our way. Along the way, they removed Plagionotus arcuatus, Plagionotus detritus and Potosia lugubris from the trunk of an oak tree( on oak juice), found Hoplia parvula and caught some pigeons (he knows). I collected a couple of some strange agonums that got out on the forest path. They saw myrmidon flying, but missed. Later still caught two-see, just went, very fresh. They found a male oak cocoonworm hit by a car - who knows, a worthy find for the Moscow region or so-so? I hadn't seen them before.
On the way, we saw a nice white moss-pine forest and could not deny ourselves the pleasure of tearing off the dried lichen. Then they caught myrmidon and some huge pompilla again, and they caught all of them. Time was short, and then we went at a brisk pace to upisov. There were a lot of Upis
As always, we walked along the birch trunks. Neomida (Oplocephala) hemorrhidalis was collected in tinder boxes on the same birches. Ripper also caught Peltis grossa and Synodendron cylindricum (male). Then we went in the hope of hunting omophrons - but alas! such a nice little pond in the middle of sukhodol was dry and overgrown with willows. And yet, back in June, it was possible to drive out f*** omofrons by handfuls. Upon arrival, the forces were already small and the expedition to the playground for Chlorophorus herbsti was decided to be postponed until tomorrow. Tomorrow we were disappointed with Sorbaria almost all faded and was a complete bummer. Out of grief, we went to the swamp in front of the house and caught amarna, a couple of small pterostichs, unexpectedly in such a wet place Harpalus smaragdinus-a good variation with a red head, some agonums (black), patrobus (in a pathetic hope for septemtrionisa) and hypera. Then we went further into a swampy meadow and I caught a very cool and very fast beetle, like enterophagus from cryptophagidae, but smaller, sandy in color with black lines on the elytra, which dragged a small tick in its jaws. By chance, when I put my hand in my pocket, the cherished test tube was open, and there was no beetle there Can anyone at least roughly tell me who it could be? Then it was night and the Ripper caught the light, and I went to bed. He caught something there, of course, and I'm already at work writing this "probably", because I didn't see it. Summer is waning, the seeds of bodyak are already flying, and the grass is withered. All very sad

Report on a trip in search of the mythical barbel near d. Dorogali O-Zuyevsky district of the Moscow region.
The name of the barbel, I think Ripper will tell you. So, last Thursday, the trip for the "rarest" sawyere took place. How he joined Mikhail Ripper, he probably will tell you himself. It all started with a congress at which Mikhail and I "signed up to help Russian science" in search of some rare barbel, which it seems that last (or the year before) someone caught somewhere near the village of Dorogali O-Zuevsky district of the Moscow Region. The subscriber was Omar, who, by the way, did not go himself.
On Thursday morning, Mikhail from Zheldor picked up Nikitsky, Petrov and Ripper at Teply Stan, from where he drove back to Nosovikhinskoe highway. They were lucky, they didn't catch any serious traffic jams and were at the turn around 11: 00. I was initially located 20 km away from the desired turn at my dacha, and while they were getting out of Moscow, I managed to stop by to dig up Mikhail Molodila's rosettes. We met, discussed the route, and went, Mikhail and I following. After about 1 km, the road took on the appearance of a mud swamp, but Mikee did not stop to overcome it and passed without any problems. The view of the road turned out to be scarier than the essence. Yes, both cars are Shnivy. Then, after about five kilometers, we came to a village and then circled around it until we stopped somewhere, where it seems that we once caught this barbel. Old felled pines with a diameter of at least 30-40 cm served as a reference point. Visual searches for the beetle did not yield any results, and Nikitsky began to set traps - window and earth traps. To do this, in addition to the old stumps, it was necessary to chop pine and use a fresh stump. At the end of August, they will go to check them. In general, everyone had fun, with the greatest benefit of Ripper, who exterminated the Moscow entomofauna, although nothing rare flew from butterflies, so mother-of-pearl, fire chervonets, banal pigeons, lemongrass, lichens, etc., plus in the grass I found the thinworm Phymatopus hecta. Somewhere around eight in the evening, we parted, I was drinking beer in 15 minutes, and Mikhail had a long journey to Teply Stan and back...I wonder what time he was home....

A few comments on the sdi message:
1. the road to this forest was almost trouble-free. I landed the car only once, and then by my own carelessness - I was dragged into a deep rut.
2. I was struck by the methods of catching beetles - I did not expect that you can easily cut down a hefty pine tree to install a trap. Moreover, I was told that they usually do not cut down less than 4 pines...
3. I am very happy to meet new interesting people. Thanks!
4. arrived home at 23-30

Thank you to Omar for the report
From myself, I will add that last night it got colder, flew little, interesting little. I caught an interesting nupta with a gray half of the pronotum - obbirand.
Everything else is described in great detail

About the trip for a rare barbel:
The barbel is called a Tragosome - 2 years ago it was found crawling across the road in those places that strongly interested Nikolai Borisovich. Of course, such a rarity is not so easy to find, and you need to catch the light and wait for what results the traps will give.
In addition, I caught Buprestis hemorrhoidalis, the rest is banal. Mikee, sdi and Alexander Petrov brought me an awesome 2.7 cm long catfish, and a couple of cute lichens.
Many thanks to Mikhail for taking me on the trip, and even giving me a couple of interesting katokals and Malaysian crunchers.

I can also add interesting meetings to my reports. Of course, first of all, I was glad to meet Mikee, sdi, whom I previously knew only from the forum. I was glad to meet Nikolai Borisovich Nikitsky, and an unexpected acquaintance with Alexander Petrov, who turned out to be a sociable person, and told a lot of interesting things about which our forum, for some reason, has never been told yet, Finally met firsthand with Mikhail Leontyevich Danilevsky and Maxim Lazarev. I am very happy to meet them - the people are very sociable, as well as absolutely not arrogant, which was very pleasantly surprised. In General, full of pleasant acquaintances and impressions.

vygr* * * omofronov this is just grebsti omofronov-what a suspicious forum!

Yes, for my part, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the people who have off-road vehicles and remarkable personal qualities that made this trip possible. First of all, mikee, who so generously sacrificed his personal time for the whim of entomologists. Thanks also to Sergey for the much-needed insurance on dubious off-road terrain in this case. Gentlemen, I owe you one
ps I couldn't go - they don't always let me go from work easily, plus I recently erased my legs very badly - they still haven't passed.
zyzy the work on "logging" has been agreed with the administration of the Moscow region.

To know in advance, I would have picked up a chainsaw

or dynamite.

I fully agree with Ripper about the interesting stories of Alexander Petrov. A man has traveled the world in search of insects.

Aha, he calls with him, but without guarantees of material export

Take out the material! You'll find a way! Only to catch the species to which he invites is worth something!!!!

Then we went further into a swampy meadow and I caught a very cool and very fast beetle, like enterophagus from cryptophagidae, but smaller, sandy in color with black lines on the elytra, which dragged a small tick in its jaws.

Does this one look like yours, by any chance?"
http://www.colpolon.biol.uni.wroc.pl/Foto/...20sparganii.jpg

it reminds me of a Slegan, but it had yellow elytra with black dots behind the middle of the elytra, and so there is something in common. Roma will tell you more precisely.

Well, if points, then
http://www.colpolon.biol.uni.wroc.pl/psamm...bipunctatus.htm

this one is already much better, only the dots were 2-3 times larger, they were not in a straight line, and the pronotum and / or head were black. Roma confirmed the family - he suspected so )

Thank you, Fornax13, the last version is very similar, but there were many small slanting strokes on the elytra, they were mottled. The last segment of the antennae was obliquely cut off, like that of Telmatophilus. The head was yellow, the pronotum reddish. What kind of animals are they anyway, are they good, and why haven't I, a sinner, met them before? Are they predators? At least I'll know what I missed.

Photos from Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, this week. The diaries were flying pretty poorly. At night, too, not very much; during the day, a lot of Camptogramma bilineata and Scotopteryx chenopodiata were scared out of the grass, the latter generally zadolbali beyond measure! I will put almost all scoops and their ilk on the definition, but Xestia baja, Clostera pigra, Sideridis rivularis, Eurois occulta, Cyclophora pendularia, Ipimorpha retusa and Pelosia muscerda are already looming.
Pamphylus and Lycaones.

Birch sickle-wing, argiades and laodice.

Pachyta quadrimaculata. And another thing: I found a small sand pit (a quarry or something), where different plants grow on the ridges, and only sand in the depressions, and I found a horse, like a hybrid. What else can be found there interesting?

Clostera pigra

And so, after Nepal, I turned on the light bulbs at the dacha in Chigasovo.
On the night of August 10, it was 17 degrees Celsius, a light rain fell.
It flew better than in Nepal. Well, maybe not much better than before leaving Pokhara.
There were a lot of butterflies, especially the scoop, but there was very little that was more or less interesting.
In the mass of such butterflies as:
Xestia baja
Apamea monoglypha (battered)
Enargia paleacea
Eulithis prunata
Alphus sylvinus
, Lymantria monacha
Geometra papilionaria
took Alphus sylvinus females, Noctua interposita, Noctua fimbriata, Xestia sexstrigata, Hadena bicruris, Notodonta torva.

On Wednesday, kotbegemot and I went to the village of Nerskaya in the Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district of the Moscow Region.
First, we wandered along the clearing in front of the nursery. The first thing that catches your eye is that there are many species that should have already left (last year at this time they were no longer there): almost all species of Argynnis of the region, Everes argiades, Celastrina argiolus, Heodes virgaurea. Myrmidon is much smaller than it was a year ago. Caught a beaten-up swallowtail. In general, from butterflies-nothing special.
Phaneroptera falcata is also found among the erect-winged species:


Then they started walking toward the nursery.
Many lycaons:

Idas fly, sometimes there are very fresh specimens of both sexes. Vlad caught a few copies of some cool fire engine (which, I think, he will be happy to tell you about later). The most interesting butterfly find is Hesperia comma, a fairly fresh female. I caught a female arion here last year, and I've been looking for this species ever since, but to no avail.
There are a lot of blue-winged fillies everywhere on the sandy ground:


Cicindella hybrida:

Vlad caught a female Chalcophora mariana in mid-flight.
If I'm not mistaken, this is Rhombonyx holosericea-it seems to be the second find in the region:

A few meters later, I found another specimen of this species in the sand.
Nerskaya and I moved in the direction of Podosinok. The bridge over the Nerskaya River was destroyed, so I had to make a detour of several km, bypassing the dam.
Caught along the railway track. In principle, almost everything is the same, only myrmidon is even smaller (and mostly females are caught). On the Antsiferovo - Podosinki stretch, Vlad caught a comm, and we missed another one.
By the way, this time I didn't find a single caterpillar of the Calophasia lunula owl in the nursery - last year there were a lot of them.

August 12 in Moscow found under the bark of an old linden tree black calf Diaperis boleti

About Rhombonix I will add that I found them in approximately the same places, dead on the sand near pine forests.

And in the Moscow region, who has already met katokal?

And in the Moscow region, who has already met katokal?

nupta, fraxini, pacta are there, fulminea has probably already flown away.

Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, August 7-22. Everything was fine with the diaries, but I know almost all of them there; I managed to catch new ones: Hesperia comma, Lycaena tityrus, Thecla betulae and (finally!) Maculinea alcon! Almost all scoops and moths will be in the definition, and yet, for general information, the number of photos of scoops is three times that of moths. At the beginning of the summer, the opposite was true. Xestia baja, Autograha gamma, and Tholer were very annoying from the scoops, and Xestia C-nigrum, Diachrysia stenochrysis, Rivula sericealis, Cirrhia icterita, and Chortodes also flew frequently. Scoliopteryx libatrix, Amphipoea sp., Hypena proboscidalis, Xestia sexstrigata, Macdunnoughia confusa, and Diarsia sp.were occasionally encountered. Still caught such a thing as Aedia funesta, with her in MO how? There were not very many moths, banal thymandra and cyclophores, Eulithis prunata, Camptogramma bilineata and other banals. Other macrophages were mostly isolated: Clostera pygra, Triodia sylvina, Eilema lutarellum, Orgya antiqua, Pheosia gnoma, and Phragmatobia fuliginosa. There were also a lot of fireflies, very much got pleuroptia, also almost all Acentropinae flew to the light, especially Cataclysta lemnata. I managed to take a picture of Oncocera semirubella, and many different agonopteryx were still flying. After a trip to the myrmidon nursery, I photographed a blue-winged filly and a moth Lythria sp. Of the beetles, attention was mainly drawn to barbels: four-striped and red leprosy (I see it there for the first time), aspen creaker, tinker woodcutter (what a creature!) and Oberea oculata.
