Moscow and the Moscow region

06.04.2010 was in Discord (near Moscow), chasing the spring girls.

Caterpillar of some scoops

This is not Polia nebulosa!?

Thanks for the hint, it's quite similar.

Ilya, very cool!
Only pomonari again, probably, did not take, eggs from the female did not get?

Zhelna is just great!!! (even though it's a bird). I'll try to take a picture at my place (maybe it's still in my park).

I drove to Khripan yesterday:

Some kind of small water lover got caught, so I let him go. I don't do them...

Isn't it a mistake about parthenias that there are only females in the mud? First of all, yesterday only the females went to the PTZ (this is to the south), there were only three meetings, and on Sunday there were only males. Secondly, it is entirely males who land on mud, and females should not be caught on mud at all. Yes, and in the photo there are only males, there are no females.

With the Fae.

I was told to add dish detergent.This is to reduce the density of the water so that the insects sink instead of floating on the surface.Am I right?

Apparently, yes - I was wrong! The material still needs to be straightened out -- I wonder how many people I caught

Well... almost. So that the covers of insects are wetted.

Moscow. April 06 and 07. Hung out the DRL 250 split lamp on the balcony with a view of the forest (birch, oak and other deciduous tree species).
Here are the results:
Lycia pomonaria - 5
Agriopis marginaria - 1
Orthosia gothica - 4
Orthosia incerta - 2
Eupsilia transversa -1
Conistra vaccinii - 1

I was pleased with Lycia pomonaria. It's a massive number of years of this type , and earlier-in ten years I only met one.




This incerta seemed a little unusual to me, and I even wondered if it was opima. But given the high variability of this type...


Is this exactly vaccinii?

And we don't envy Israel in the least
A short report for the week.

04.04. in Chigasovo (Odintsovo district, Moscow region) on the poles of lanterns Achlya flavicornis, very high, can not get. A. parthenias, N. polychloros, A. urticae, I. io, and G. rhamni are active.

06.04. a little shameful day - I took a fresh Orthosia munda at home, then went together with a lepidopterologist to Izmailovsky Park in search of spring moths. Tolik found a female L. pomonaria on a linden tree at a height of 2.5 meters, I gently brushed it away with a twig, and the female was safely lost among last year's foliage and grass. Tolya, however, later compensated for my unfortunate mistake. At the same time, the Beetle found a male A. hispidaria in "Timka"!
That's how I pawned off my friends. The real Pavlik.

This Saturday I went to Chigasovo again, decided to try to turn on the light bulb. By 21:00, the temperature dropped to 4 degrees Celsius. Only Orthosia gothica, which did not sit down on the screen, had to be grabbed; and the female A. flavicornis, which became the only trophy, was pleased with their presence. These are the conditions we have in the lowlands. By 22:00, the temperature was no higher than +2. So it was not possible to "catch B. strataria", as I wanted.

Damn, when am I going to catch pomonaria?

Guys, do you catch the light there? You would have fished, shown -

This is a good suggestion!

Guys, catch an Eriogaster lanestris pliz for me!!!

and me a couple!
and Sievers, too! near Moscow.

the fourth time I edit the message - it would be nice to catch endromis, sievers, fluffy ones, pavonias and other pleasant things that fly abundantly, and then offer all this at the congress-fair. They'll go away like hot cakes.

Only the plow in the report, in my opinion, is not a ram at all.

Yeah, L. annotinum - last year's spikelets are visible in the background.

and me a couple!
and Sievers, too! near Moscow.

the fourth time I edit the message - it would be nice to catch endromis, sievers, fluffy ones, pavonias and other pleasant things that fly abundantly, and then offer all this at the congress-fair. They'll go away like hot cakes.

It remains for a small thing: Find and send someone to fish for the next 3 weeks in Neftyanik. It will catch all of the above, for such a time, and also in the amount that everyone on the forum will have enough.
I won't be at the dacha for the next two weeks.
Pash, I can share a couple of sievers (males). In two nights, only 10 of them arrived.

Now I'm actually updating the report of Kotbegemot.
We arrived on Friday evening. at 21.30 plus 2, at 1 am - minus three. Despite the low temperature, the air was good, at the same time 4-8 macro circled around the lamps. We caught or saw most of the early spring species.
The next night, Mikhail (Mikkey) arrived and we drove out of the dacha village (but left the lamp on at the dacha itself). Fishing with the generator brought almost a complete zero (a couple of sievers do not count). At 23.30 we returned to the site, I took lanestris and 4 sivers off the roof (yes, on the first night there was also only one fluffy one, you can see they are just starting).

In the afternoon on Saturday, we went for a walk in the fire pits, put out the fire and I saw one male endromis, something early, maybe just because of the fires and came out.

In the night from Sunday to Monday, already in Moscow, the years are crazy, although almost everything is banal. One review is doubtful, I took a picture of it separately.

Only Plaun in the report, in my opinion, is not a ram at all.

I can easily be mistaken - but it was very thick, 1.5 cm in diameter somewhere.

Spring is in full swing! On Sunday I was in the Nagatinskaya Poyma Park in Moscow. I was pleased with the almost complete absence of people, but there were a lot of nymphalids - peacock eyes and urticaria mostly, and a few pretty shabby xanthomelas/polychloros. A couple of times on the blooming willow met lemongrass.
I was pleasantly surprised by the large number of Cicindela hybrida horses. Once I came across Cicindela campestris.
Among the flies encountered was Bombylius major.
In general, the pace of spring was very pleasing, especially compared to last year.

I'll come to your dacha in 1.5-2 weeks sometime for the night :- ) As for the bad summer on the night from Saturday to Sunday, we seem to agree that the reason is the use of a non-gold DRL. Because the distance to your dacha did not exceed 300 meters, and visibility in the fields was much better.

the funny thing is that I had a spare split lamp in my car all the time, I saw it on Sunday morning when I was assembling the car.

to sdi:
Sergey, if you share your sivers, I will consider you happy!

Short report for 2 days (I don't have much time to work in the field right now):
Photo # 1: The channel leading to the forest lake. Pay attention to how much our soil is glandular. At least open a field.
Photo # 2: "For the fact that you need to tear off your hands and your head into the bargain." Everywhere solid fell, when will the people get smarter?
Photo # 3: Not only the mother and stepmother are now blooming (by the way, I saw this plant for the first time in my city).
Photo # 4: The goal of my hike today. In one place, we have a population of a rather unusual C. hybrida (I collected only 3 specimens, but it was full).
For comparison, below is an earlier picture of her in 2005 (this one comes across everywhere).

What's wrong with today's C. hybrida ?

Much smaller and no dark spots.

Males because of that. And in the picture of 2005. female.

Thank you for clarifying. It turns out I only collected females before.

I will allow myself a small addition to my report today (more precisely, to photo #2):
But last year there was Lycaena dispar Haworth, 1802 (the heart bleeds) - now the noobs have burned everything out.
Here is last year's photo of a female from exactly that place:

Don't be discouraged. There seem to be some unburned bones left there. Maybe someone did survive. Well, in addition, Lycaena dispar is not so rare here. I see it even in Moscow every year.

Yes, I do. Of course, it is not very rare (it just occurs in foci), and this is just such a focus.

Nikolai and I got to Moscow in a train occupied by Bolokovtsy, the men went to work to Michurinsk-Uralsky and occupied almost the entire car. Upon arrival, we were met by Ilya, who went to the Moscow State University Library to register for the Lomonosov 2010 conference, while Nikolai was buying a tripod for his camera. Then they all met together at VDNKh and took a bus to the Moscow region.

I had to open the season not in my own domain, but in the Moscow region, which I am no less happy about, we were fishing near the city of Krasnoarmeysk, where Ilya Yudakov kindly received us for the night, for which I thank him very much!

They searched mainly for xylobionts, under the bark of fallen and still standing pines, turned over logs and stones, and were pleased (especially birds) with the abundance of Rhagium inquisitor larvae and other species...

5 copies were caught under the first log. Anchomenus dorsalis, under the rocks were, as we have Platynus assimilis, Phosphuga atrata. The cow Coccinella quinquepunctata, a very cute animal, was also found in the same pine tree. There were various staphylinids, some of the sylvanids, Boros schneideri (Boridae), and other pleasant little things.

Excellent lunch and dinner (honestly, we were fed for slaughter!) we made an evening detour along the coast of the Vorya River, surprised the thickets of hogweed under 3 meters in height, there was a lot of it, and we decided to put all the troubles in terms of ecology and the drying riverbed on it as a counter...

Bitomes were caught under aspen bark, Chrysolina staphylaea, 2 Aphodius species and some other beetles were caught under rocks.

After drinking a beer, we decided to go to the side, but before that, we considered Ilya's fees until one o'clock in the morning... his neat boxes of butterflies, boxes of beetles and mattresses, and terrariums with American blackbirds, tarantulas and cockroaches... Ilya gave some of the beetles to us, for which he received another vivat!!!

In the morning we got into the famous traffic jam on the Yaroslavl highway, 9 rows of cars are impressive, and the scorching sun and stuffiness of the bus add color. So we "hurried" to the conference, and Nikolai went to buy a tent. The memo said that the section would start at 10 and we decided that we were hopelessly late for an hour... But after calling Andrey Ukrainsky, it turned out that he, too, was just on his way to the MSU biofactory department, and the conference starts at 11...)

After meeting with Andrey, they shook hands and moved inside the building. The conference was very interesting - reports related to ecology, morphology, anatomy, faunistics, synonymy and invertebrate variability... But since we still had a meeting scheduled with Roman, we left it earlier, not forgetting to bring a couple of collections )

We met Omar in the center of Moscow, on Okhotny Ryad, had a little chat, got acquainted, I gave him ground beetles from the Benkovsky collection, and showed him yesterday's collections ... then we went about our business, wishing each other good luck.

After eating shawarma, we said goodbye to Ilya, walked around Manezhnaya Square, and Nikolai and I went to Paveletsky, where the return train was waiting for us ...

The list of captured beetles will be presented below...

Thanks to: Ilya Yudakov, Andrey Ukrainsky and Roman (Omar).

You can say that I also opened the season in my own way, but the truth is in Butovo. And it was all like this: Papaver posted a message about finding the corpses of 2 dogs on the trail. a search was organized every day. A little lost, the corpses were found. But since I was with a companion in dogs, I didn't manage to dig properly. A cursory examination with turning over gave quite a lot of Cleridae (Necrobia sp.) + a single Thanatophilus.
14.04.2010 Re-examination in the proud oditochestvo. Unfortunately, it was late afternoon, it was cool and there wasn't much activity. Somewhat "pleased" with the second dog. She was almost buried under a pile of sand. On examination, the dog's head fell off. All the same Necrobia and some (probably banal) Aphodius were found in the receding crater. Finally, I'll attach a photo report:

P. S. Near the platf. Pokrovskaya found another dead dog. Well, then-more...

There are still good staffs should be (creophilus in particular, etc.). Just choose the weather warmer and the main thing is that they are not removed ahead of time.
