Moscow and the Moscow region

The action takes place in the Southern suburbs of Moscow. The time of action is the second half of the day, because in the first it rained. The forest is great, there are no mosquitoes yet, the grass is small, you can go into the thicket, which I did. The oak has not yet bloomed, the forest stands as if in winter. In the thicket, I immediately found a large rotten oak tree, with a hollow trunk and loose bark. Immediately, he greedily tore off the bark with a large piece, and dust poured out in his face, and two handfuls of Diaperis boleti into his outstretched palms. Carefully poured the beetles on last year's leaves and gave them the freedom to choose where-back to the oak tree or take a walk Began to look again. I took out rodent feces, a lot of feces. I raked out the acorn shells. The shell was chewed and I didn't like it, so I threw it away. Having rummaged through this junk, I found something worthwhile-a beetle from the genus Trox. I'll tell you the view soon, because I don't do plates myself.

Hylecoetus dermestoides mass flight on May 15 in Losino-Ostrovsky Park in Moscow.

In the bus on the window caught 2 Hylesinus fraxini . Is this an interesting view or a banal one? There were still a lot of sawflies, but I didn't take them.

This good is enough in the region, just now its mass growth has begun.

If anyone is interested, then my trox turned out to be Trox scaber. The one I found in the rodent's nest.

Today we took a trip to Sparrow Hills with a lepidopterologist. The weather was warm, but because of the rain that had passed, nothing was flying. On the slopes in the rotten except kivsyakov and kostyanok nothing. But here we found a bunch of some scraps of boards. There was nothing interesting there for me, but there was something for the lepidopterologist. As a result, Anchomenus dorsalis, Carabus nemoralis, Limodromus assimilis. I caught the elephant Dorytomus sp. Like that.

18.05 caught the light from Bolkon. A bunch of different small things(mosquitoes, moths, etc.) arrived. From the catch some ground beetle Badister sp, water lover, Cantharis pellucida, moth Xanthorhoe biriviata and Lobophora halterata with six wings! I thought I had it crooked rasp, and here it is that :

I don't know about butterflies, but it has 3 pairs of wings, or is it not a complete dissection of the plate?

Results of summer fishing.
Mimas tiliae
Stauropus fagi (many)
Drymonia ruficornis (and there are many of them)
Ptilodon capucina
Pygaera curtula
Pheosia tremula
Notodonta ziczac

The scoop is small, larger than Lacanobia suasa and L. thalassina, Ochropleura plecta.
Not at all a banal Orthosia gracilis in two copies.

Eilema sororculum
Phragmatobia fuliginosa

Of the moths, a couple of Eupithecia species were pleased (one is quite original, I haven't identified it yet) and Plagodis dolabraria. Full of Lobophora halterata.
A large black dead-eater, strewn with ticks, arrived. I'll post the photo later.
In general, nothing particularly outstanding, but I enjoyed it.

Dear forum participants.There is such a question for those who catch light in the Moscow,Tula and adjacent regions:
Has anyone caught or ever caught aspen(Laothoe tremulae) and blind(Smerinthus caecus) hawkmoth in the above-mentioned Moscow or other adjacent regions?If there are any finds, please provide some information.

Personally, I came across only aspen and once: in the Sergiev Posad district, on the border with Dmitrov.
The nature of their distribution in the Moscow region is generally described in corresponding to the Red List.

And in the Tula region, both species are found in the northern and western regions (8 points for aspen and 5 for blind), aspen enters the center of the region.

In the Tula region, there are both types. They were caught in the northern part of the region, in the Oka River area. Smerinthus caecus in one night (within 2 hours) was caught 6 pieces. I was very surprised, because the species is considered rare for the region. Most likely weak faunal research! I deal with beetles myself. My brother is obsessed with butterflies, he also catches them with the help of a generator.

I was pleased to find Chalcophora mariana, a beauty.

And I'll tell you what I caught.
I will not mention such background species as, for example, Spilosoma lubricipedum, Xanthorhoe ferrugata, etc.
Some of the crested birds were Drymonia dodonea, Peridea anceps, Gluphisia crenata, Notodonta torva, and N. ziczac.
Scoops - nothing special except Hyppa rectilinea-it's luck!
Pseudoips prasinanus, Hadena rivularis.
Among the moths, Lomaspilis opis and Cyclophora annularia were very popular.

to Romik:
Yes, flowers for sure эти.
to Morozzz:
and we have Cyclophora annularia for a month as the most popular species, so tired...

So I decided to write a report about the past weekend (25-27. 05). The days were very busy, so I can forget about something. The place of action is still the same Ruzsky district
25.05. Lenkovo village.
While driving, I called my brother to turn on the lamp (drl 250). I arrived late(23.30) and immediately got out of the car with a backpack to the lamp. The weather is warm (28 May), but the night is lunar. A lot of different microbes fly, but I don't catch them. There are a lot of grave diggers and May beetles. A total of 32 butterflies and 2 beetles:
Smerinthus ocellatus
Notodonta ziczac
Peridea anceps
Ptilodon capucina
Odontopera bidentata
and a bunch of different scoops and small moths that don't deserve to be mentioned.
Nicrophorus humator
Platystomus albinus
26. 05. д.Lenkovo
In the morning I go to the Ozerna river. The heat sets in quickly. Fucking borshchevik has already grown a meter. A huge number of Sarterocephalus palaemon flies near the river. With difficulty, I tracked down and caught one female, and the males were sitting every two meters. I also caught Pyrgus malvae and an interesting glass fish. It is similar to Synanthedon myopeaformis. There was nothing else of interest.

In the evening, I catch the light again, but already on 2 lamps. One stood in the yard, the other at a distance from the house, in the field. The night is better than the previous one. Again I caught about 35 butterflies and various beetles. I won't list them all.
Smerinthus ocellatus
Notodonta tritophus
Notodonta torva
Pheosia tremula
Pterostoma palpina
Ptilodon capucina
Pygaera timon
Drepana falcataria
Odontopera bidentata
Acronicta alni
Protodeltote pygarga
Colocasia coryli
Earias chlorana
из жуков:
Nicrophorus humator
Necrodes littoralis
Denticollis linearis
Odonteus armiger (!)
and a bunch of other small things.

27.05. Panino - d natural boundary. Nuts.
Long ago I noticed a peat bog not far from the village. Nuts. The road passes right by the side of the swamp. And here at 11.00 I'm in the swamp. At first, after chyasovogo wandering in the swamp, I didn't catch anything except the banal leaf-eating hidden head. But then, when I went back, I caught Melitaea athalia and Polyommatus icarus. I was really happy. When I saw a fisherman coming out of the old swamp, I asked him about the road to the depths of the swamp, and he showed it to me. Moving towards the middle of the swamp, more and more dragonflies and caddis flies appear. So I went out to the pond. There are so many dragonflies that with one swing, Poi mal immediately took 2 pieces, but then let them go. From butterflies nifiga.


I continued down the path. It sometimes went into the forest, then went straight along the shore of the pond. After an hour of walking without stopping, I realized that there was no further road :

When I got back, I was walking along the side of the road again, but there was nothing but S. palaemon. So I go back to the car and, as a reward, there is a fresh, not battered Euphydryas aurinia sitting on a dandelion tree . Then I saw a huge hill behind the swamp and decided to head there. It was very beautiful on the slope, but there weren't many butterflies. They flew Cynthia cardui, Leptidea sinapis, Pieris napi, Colias hyale(how many did not catch, all curves), C. palaemon, C. silvicolus.

I decided to leave it at that and go back.
On the way back, I stopped at d. Nuts. There is an interesting pine forest on a hill about 40x40m in size. I've never been there. It was getting late and I only took the stains.

After wandering around the hill, I didn't find anything. But then I noticed the only thing in this place that can be turned over - a pine log. And under it I picked up Carabus hortensis and some barbels from Asemini. Under the bark there are some round black spangles (like Strongylini), a very small flat carapace(3 mm) and Grynocharis oblonga. After that, satisfied, I went home to Moscow .
I'll add more details later. Like that.

I spent a week at the dacha, Domodedovo district. Moscow region
11. 06. 07 decided to go to the river, like there is more variety and swim at the same time. Almost arrived (on a bicycle) and suddenly next to me a parallel course Limenitis populi. The rim of the net is separate from the handle, so I pulled it out easily without getting off the bike and chased the steering wheel with one hand, adding speed, 30 meters so I raced over rough terrain.
Result:
The bike has a bent fork.
I have one on my left hand, a cracked thumb bone, and a severely dislocated index finger.
Limenitis populi-flying somewhere.

What a sense of purpose!
It's just a shame that it's because of a poplar ribbon tree of some kind. I understand because of the rarity of what...

""It's just a shame that it's because of a poplar ribbon tree of some kind""

I have a copy of 1989 in my collection, it was very poorly spread out in my youth, and Limenitis populi has not been seen at all for the last 3 years.

This is a common view for MO. I've met him several times in Moscow itself.

Wow! I caught it en masse in 2000 - both to the north of Moscow and to the south.
All the puddles were cleaned out by males.

I wonder how other participants in the Moscow region are doing with this type of activity. Maybe the population has collapsed in recent years? And then I never had any problems typing it in any number -- but I haven't been to Russia since 2000

There are no problems with populations. The view, of course, is not mass, but common. Last year in Moscow, in the south, I saw one flying thing. In 2000, I found a caterpillar in May on a poplar tree. To Moscow-come, we will be glad. Don't be afraid of bears. Or are you political?

"This is a common view for MO. I've met him several times in Moscow itself. ""

Well, you can just see the Domodedovo district with it was not lucky (or I'm not lucky), and because I catch either there or far from the Moscow region. respectively, and the result.

Perhaps you were really just unlucky. Such a butterfly is simply no longer confused with anything else. It is ok. I, for example, still can't catch more than one copy. Cucujus cinnabarinus, which you posted here, and the second species of the genus occurs to me regularly. Although the beetle is rare, it also occurs consistently, but not for me.

In the Ramenskoye district, in some places (I can't say about the whole area), the population of the species was severely affected by frosts last winter - for the whole of last summer I saw only 1 specimen. Let's see if the population will recover in the coming years or not. Earlier (until last year) in the Ramenskoye district, the species was very common, often found on forest roads, flew into greenhouses. Yesterday I saw several specimens in the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve.

If we talk about the far suburbs, then in the Lukhovitsky district, where my dacha is located, last year 2-3 copies were observed at a time in the field of view. Especially near garbage dumps.

On June 2, in the vicinity of his city, he caught 4 small (3.5 mm) narrow-winged fish on the leaves of the undergrowth of an ash tree. Houses identified-Agrilus convexicollis Redt.!!! In "green", its range is indicated "south, except for the southeast". And yesterday I met Elizar at lunchtime, walked with him through the green zone in the area of the floodplain of the Kotorosl River (in the center of Yaroslavl), and on the leaves of an ash tree he caught it - Agrilus convexicollis, and I awkwardly missed two of them. Today Elizar called and picked up another one in the same place. According to the data available to us, Agrilus convexicollis is not listed for the Moscow Region. Has anyone found it in the middle lane?

Yeah, I found it. Last year, in July, in the Istra region, together with Agrilus planipennis, I caught one A. convexicollis on an ash tree, and on 3 and 11.06.2007, in the same place, on the same half-killed ash trees, I took about a dozen convexicollis. Previously, it didn't seem to be marked for the region. But Omar knows this best. I can throw a point in the topic "Beetles of the Moscow and neighboring regions"

G. Zheleznoorozhny: the species is common, occurs annually, although not en masse. 9 km from Moscow. In Moscow itself, about barrels of kvass are regularly seen. Very beautiful butterfly!

Sorry, the previous message is mine. This year I saw a single specimen on June 9 at the Uchinsky reservoir (Khvoyny Bor pier).

Yeah, I found it. Last year, in July, in the Istra region, together with Agrilus planipennis, I caught one A. convexicollis on an ash tree, and on 3 and 11.06.2007, in the same place, on the same half-killed ash trees, I took about a dozen convexicollis.

That would be nice. The view was indeed not marked in the area. To date, I say this confidently. Nikitsky definitely didn't catch it. And are you sure, gentlemen, of the definition? You know what the Agriluses are like...If there are a dozen copies, can you give me one to double-check? We will return it.

Dadu. However, M. Volkovich has already identified it by reference to the feed object (indirectly) and by the photo.

Has Volkovich seen the photo? Why don't we see it?

In 2005, in the Ruzsky district, it was like garbage. At each puddle on 10 males sat and on roadsides brought down in bulk was. The same goes for Limenitis camilla. And last year, for the entire season of current, I saw 10 pieces.

Has Volkovich seen the photo? Why don't we see it?

I didn't see the photo either. I just submitted the bug for identification. The photos were taken by Makarov and forwarded to Volkovich along with the documentation. They may have already been posted on the ZIN-ovskom site

Hello everyone. Today I went to the south-east of the Moscow region, 75 km from the city. I haven't been to the site since mid-May. How everything has changed! There is no longer a carabid running across the road, a lot of lepturina (in particular, pachyta quadrimaculata and Judolia sexmaculata, plus other species) is buzzing on the flowers, the grass (in the broad sense of the word) has grown to the knees and above. I set traps, and from a rare (or rather, worthy) one, only one copy of Oberea oculata came across on the spot. Which is strange, because I used to catch this kind of hangout In general, I will go there again the day after tomorrow, the situation with Karabida will be clear

PS: how did the mosquitoes get me?

PS: how did the mosquitoes get me?

With all due respect to Diptera, I propose to temporarily (until October) categorically ban the families Tabanidae, Culicidae and Simuliidae...
at least at the imago stage... at least the females...

Southern suburbs, DRL-250
Again caught the light. It flew a terrible amount, there was almost no space left on the screen. Hawks flew in dense crowds, hanging out in 3-4 pieces, as if they were thinking for three. All banal types: medium wine, small wine, eye-shaped, linden, poplar, bedstraw. The shovels were stuffed down his neck and crunched under his feet, though he tried to tread carefully. Beetle pearl is a nightmare, especially zealous staphylins, swimmers, small water lovers, from ground beetles numerous Stenolophus mixtus, Acupalpus sp. three or four species, both types of red badisters, agonums of several species (at a cursory glance, there are interesting ones), harpalus of several species, of which Harpalus hirtipes pleased, one hlenius, from the classic, with a yellow border, an interesting leiodid, something from salpingids, Aderus populnea, a couple of rhinos flew from the plates and a pair of Geotrupes stercorarius, Trox scaber. 3 pieces of interesting small beetles arrived, I don't even know yet, red and small, I will definitely write them off as soon as I determine them. One Cicindera germanica arrived. And most importantly, Calosoma investigator arrived, which I was very happy about. A strong male took up residence in my 2-liter jar, because I decided that death in the stain was too easy for him. After determining, I will post a full list of the most interesting things, as well as photos.

Awesome I wonder what kind of Chlenius is here?"

And more. There will be an opportunity, catch, plz, more Geotrupes stercorarius (which, most likely, Baikalikus), we'll swap

PS: An investor is great. Just keep in mind that in a jar you can start losing your limbs very quickly

What's the big deal? It's just him and the scoops he eats

And this does not depend on who is in the jar with it. Perhaps this is how aging manifests itself. Perhaps the microclimate is not the same, or there is not enough space. In short, take it as a fact If you do not feel sorry for the instance, you can checkfor yourself
