Moscow and the Moscow region

Breeders, damn it )))
And what will you feed your offspring in your inhumane conditions in Moscow???

Tolya, have you already stabbed the male?
I got a female out.
Why don't we tie it up?"

stabbed already, couldn't resist
and to feed it yes, now there is nothing in general

Her caterpillar is exceptional!
Happy New year!!!

Last night I opened the season of photo hunting for Lepidoptera. Outside the window minus 31 (the coldest night this winter), and in the house, on the curtain sits Anania hortulata Linnaeus, 1758. Apparently, the caterpillar crawled into the house in the fall and the butterfly hatched 3.5 months ahead of schedule.

Only it is now called Anania hortulata

Only it is now called Anania hortulata

This is her, what is in the same genus with Anania funebris placed now?

The genera Algedonia, Mutuuraia, Nealgedonia, Ebulea, Ennychia, Eurrhypara, Proteurrhypara, Opsibotys, Perinephela, Phlyctaenia and Trichovalva are synonymous with Anania.

Wow! That means even how! Thank you for the latest information. Now we'll know.

Hello everyone
To the report on a trip to Tugolesye (Shatursky district, Moscow Region) 18.08.2009.
As you may remember, 2 Anarta myrtilli caterpillars were found and they pupated safely.
Today at 17.00 one female butterfly hatched. The second chrysalis is on its way

I just looked into the cage (on the windowsill it stands) and this is what I saw: Another hatched!
PS I will add this is the second Deilephila elpenor Linnaeus, 1758 in a week.
I just wrote a post in a hurry (I had to move away) and this is my first report, so do not judge strictly, and the butterfly's sentence has already been carried out.

Oh, yes, yes, yes! And the shish kebab, if I'm not mistaken, is made from broiler locust breeds!

Do they fly well for meat?

Another Cucullia absinthii has just hatched from the pupa
Unfortunately, there is no camera at hand.

The season has also opened in Moscow. On Sunday, transverses and vaquinias flew at the lamp. By the end of the week, we can expect, judging by the weather forecasts, that the first moths and the Hippopotamus Cat will arrive.

Just past the window in Moscow lemongrass flew-almost fell off the chair! O_o
Upd: The season is open! I saw a moth of Lycia or Apocheima, but I couldn't get it - it was sitting high...

Open season, of course. Strictly speaking, in Moscow tomorrow we celebrate a month from the opening day of the season. The reports showed quite active overwintered io in Moscow (February 27) – in the wild, not indoors. Ladybugs got out on warm spots, bedbugs, flies, all for a month already.

So the winterers - and this is the output, from this year! Although, given the amount of snow and relatively recent warming, the heating main here most likely "tried"

If about a moth, then, of course, brood.

Oh, people! it's spring, damn it!
Pluses-flowers are too lazy to put up, everything is so cool! We can't wait for the season to start in Moscow, as winter has already wavered.

Yesterday, I also decided to "stretch my bones" and wandered around the forest in the vicinity of my city: I can't get through anywhere yet, but spring has started and this pleases me (in this weather, in a week it will be possible to catch fish).
Crossing the railway directly above the track, I already observed some kind of nymphalid (urticaria or anguloptera)-I couldn't see it.
Here are some photos from the Moscow region:

OPENING OF THE SEASON
The lamp is ready. The flask is broken. Instead of a screen, I use an old light trap, but without valves.
April 1, the first test.
Hurray! It's on


Here's the first guest


April 1st. We have Mozhaisk district MO usche lies snow. It's overcast at night. The temperature is +3.
The lamp was turned on at 22-30. Years ended at 23-30.
Here's what arrived on April 1:

And why was it necessary to prick the flask, if your Tampa is covered with a thick cloth from "kuchmovoz"?

And why did they shine until 11.30, the sun did not interfere?

I think UV passes through this fabric, it is not possible to stand next to it. Wait, but how do you get caught on the screen with a broken lamp?
What does kuchmavoz mean? I don't understand. Dacron bag is...

2 Aata. fixed the mistake

The screen behind the lamp reflects most of the UV rays, thereby noticeably enhancing the insect-attracting effect. You almost lost this component.

So we finally have a normal spring.
On Friday, I opened the season in my favorite fishing spot - one of the toilets of the biofac, where you can find quite a lot of things from March to October. This time I came across a banal Orthosia incerta, but I still came out of the toilet satisfied, after all - the first butterfly of the season, and then on the way home I decided to take a short look at Izmailovsky Park - and on the first oak tree I found a male Alsophila aescularia, very, very fresh
And closer to night, it dawned on Zhuk and me-we should definitely go to the PTZ tomorrow and look for cool spring hairy moths there!!!

Said and done, 10 hours later we were on a bus heading towards Serpukhov. From there, we somehow got to Luzhkov and moved in the direction of the Republic. Snow everywhere came down, Oka spilled, flooding the floodplain almost to the road (from the Beetle pictures of nature, by the way )
In short, we wandered around the Oka for a while, then went to the border of the reserve, to examine the oaks for moths. We examined it for about an hour, to no avail, until I accidentally noticed a male Lycia pomonaria in a completely inappropriate place - on the underside of a very stupid perpendicular branch protruding 2.5 m from the ground. Then we were engaged in training the Beetle's abs and leg muscles (I was used as a projectile) and setting up a photo shoot for a male pomonaria, after which the butterfly went to the mordant.

Then we had a snack, watched the hives want to fuck N. polychloros, enjoyed the first bumblebee, sacrificed a piece of sandwich to the ants and went on, not forgetting to stop near the oaks.


However, all further searches turned out to be fruitless - we did not find a single normal moth anymore (well, we also caught A. parthenias, but it is not normal). From the rest of the prey - Nymphalis l-album to the delight of a Beetle that has never seen them, and a swallowtail pupa.

In short, we had a great walk, explored the situation and in general, spring

We had a very cool trip! PTZ continues to please! You can go there indefinitely
I'll add a few photos of nature

Spilled Oka



Oaks-sorcerers on which moths were searched




Further on the road!



On the sands



and finally

And what can please PTZ? Come to Siberia. It's very nice here. Both for science and for the soul

to understand, you need to go there

.this is not some kind of Siberia

PEOPLE, I APOLOGIZE, BUT YOU CAN PUT YOUR MESSAGES A LITTLE LOWER SO AS NOT TO INTERRUPT THE REPORT ABOUT PTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!    

Anatolia, thank you for your report. I see there's almost no snow and it hasn't flooded much
Tuesday morning I open the season near Kolomna

And what can please PTZ? Come to Siberia. It's very nice here. Both for science and for the soul

Really! What not to drive to Siberia on Saturday and Sunday!

OPENING OF THE SEASON
The lamp is ready. The flask is broken. Instead of a screen, I use an old light trap, but without valves.

I take it you were fishing without a choke? If so, what ratings did you have for the DRL and a regular incandescent lamp?

03.04.2010 Chekhov district of the Moscow region
is warm and sunny. There are a lot of butterflies:
Gonepteryx rhamni L
Aglais urticae L
Nymphalis io L
Polygonia c-album L
Nymphalis vaualbum Shiff (I didn't see it last year)

Nymphalis xanthomelas Esper, 1781 (last seen in 2005)

Archiearis parthenias fluttered out from under their feet and flew into the trees.

Once I startled a dustpan from the ground.

04.04.2010 Moscow
Visited the edge of the birch forest. The snow wasn't melting everywhere yet, plus it was overcast at first.

But soon the cloud cover was blown away and Archiearis parthenias appeared about 20 minutes later.

They hadn't warmed up yet and weren't as skittish. One even allowed herself to be photographed.

I met Nymphalis xanthomelas Esper again, 1781 !

Yesterday I walked through the city park (I didn't have a camera with me) and picked at the bark a little.
The season has also started for us! Although all the banals, but I took them as the first beetles:

Siberia is undoubtedly good, but there is also something in the PTZ...

06.04.2010 was in Discord (near Moscow), chasing the spring girls. One was photographed quite quickly, the other, brighter and more beautiful-only at home (both A. parthenias)


The most valuable find is a pair of Lycia pomonaria


Caterpillar of some scoops

A bunch of ants

The mother-and-stepmother is already blooming, and a lot of hives are gathering on it. From other diaries full of lemongrass, several times noticed Nymphalis sp.

Black woodpecker, yellow. The size of a crow!

And in Moscow, meanwhile, in large quantities - scoops Anorthoa munda and Orthosia incerta (the second-more).
