Moscow and the Moscow region

And as a rule, it developed on birch trees burned after a fire...

Yes, yes, on the burns.

Yesterday in Zhukovsky 3 pieces of Korscheltellus lupulinus were born!

By the way, about the "coniferous" R. inquisitor. In the Yaroslavl region, its development was reliably noted not only on coniferous trees, but also on birch. Both Elizar and I found it.

And I found it repeatedly... And as a rule, it developed on birch trees burned after a fire...

Yes, yes, on the burns.

But I've never found it on deciduous trees. All spruce, yes pine (full).

It also occurs on larch trees

Well, on a larch tree, R. inquisitor can be, but this tree is "not local" and I do not observe it in the wild-only in planting (parks, etc.)

Yesterday in Zhukovsky 3 pieces of Korscheltellus lupulinus were born!

Last night, dozens of them flew to my PTZ.

Three photos from today's walk:

In the night from 22.05 to 23.05 caught the light in the vicinity of the PTZ. It flew very well, and from the quality of those who arrived, it seems to me that they have just "come out". I was hoping to catch Aglia tau, there were 5 of them flying at dusk, but none of them came to the light. I attach photos of what I caught. On an industrial scale, it was not packaged, but it flew in a similar vein. By the way, who needs cocoonworm eggs(you can see them in the photo)- contact us, I'll give it away just like that.

Almost where I live. Vlad, and about this lichen you said correctly (hesitated to drive it from your balcony)

Caught on the night of May 22-23 in the vicinity of the village of Snegiri (Istra district of Moscow region). A lot of moths of all stripes from small to large, the scoop is small, a few pieces of Drepana falcataria sat down, a bunch of spilos, a troika of medium-sized wine hawks flew in and one or two eye-shaped ones, I didn't take them, C. pudibunda - males and females flew, I tried to get eggs-cones with butter, I took one of the novelties (for me) Laothoe amurensis, Plagodis dolabraria, Notodonta dromedarius, Pygaera timon and a few fireflies, by the way, in the house in the pantry (there are all sorts of cereals and other edible goods) there were several pieces of fireflies (not Plodia interpunctella), I'll put it in the definition. I was also visited by several P. gnoma (or tremula, I keep getting confused ) and the hole is silver in a single and unique copy. There were no cocoonworms and I left a 1x2 m battlefield littered with the corpses of moths, which dragged themselves along the ground in ecstasy and were crushed by me

So, I will mentally and personally thank the residential complex for turning off the hot water so timely, thanks to which we lived in the country for two weeks, where there is a sauna and all that. I had, of course, to arrive late after work and get up much earlier than usual, but I turned on the lamp feverishly and for good reason.
This week's report is different from the previous one. The May beetles managed to come to naught and sharply decreased in the number of Aglia tau, but others appeared. For example, the moth Spargania luctuata, which was found in large numbers in the clearing and sometimes flew into the light. Egeria was already plentiful on Thursday. There were almost no beetles coming into the world.
At the beginning of the week, a tau female flew into the world, battered and skinny, but the next day we managed to find a fresh female in the forest. I kept them in the cage, and caught a couple of males and launched them to her - I didn't get any eggs.
Pleased with the females of Peridea anceps and Furcula bifida (this is generally the first time I catch it, so the whole furcula set near Moscow). For the first time, the pine moth Bupalus piniarius arrived, which is probably not so typical for our blackworms. Another thing is Panthea coenobita.
From hawkmoth-H. gallii in the daytime, H. pinastri, M. tiliae, S. ocellatus in the light. There are a pair of cucullia "similar to lucifuga" caught by the shuttle Earias clorana.

And a female swallowtail flew over the garden and laid eggs for dill. Female - in an envelope, dill-in a pot. Egg photo-to the forum

I am very happy with the successful coincidence of hot water disconnection and good weather in May.

Yes, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, too.

On the weekend I was at the dacha, 83 km of the Yaroslavl highway. Unexpectedly, a couple of kilometers from the dacha caught mnemosyne. although there are a lot of crested birds there, but mnemosyne met for the first time. In the same meadow, there were some barbels in the mass, and a carabus was crawling at night. Nothing interesting about butterflies at night. Tonight, the moth Scotopteryx mucronata arrived in Ukhtomka, which, although not rare in the MO, has not yet been seen here.

Barbel: Brachyta interrogationis Linnaeus, 1758
Carabus: Carabus (Archicarabus) nemoralis Muller, 1764

By the way, I thought that nemoralis was only found in garbage dumps - until I caught it in a hole in the forest! I didn't expect it! Not even hortensis!

Yes, they are everywhere. Perhaps the most common ground beetle for the Moscow region.

And yesterday in Zhukovsky I was again overwhelmed by K. lupulinus - but most importantly - one freshest Chlorissa cloraria arrived, a new species for the MO!

Yes, there are plenty of them: in general, this is not the beetle whose rarity you need to talk about. Not only them, but many other things we have become less in connection with the activities (construction, etc.) of our mayor Zhirkov E. I. Yes, he will not dream in a terrible dream !

Friends, 22.05 caught the light in the PTZ. I caught several males of Dendrolimus pini, but one of them has the following color(see photo). Is this an aberration or just a strong variability?

On weekends, I caught the light (Ruzsky district, Lenkovo). It was flying very well, the weather was overcast, although at around 3 o'clock in the morning there was a heavy downpour. But he didn't stop me .
Among the interesting things I caught Spargania luctuata and A. pulchrina for the first time. In the light, and in the daytime also in the forest, dofiga Petrophora chlorosata. The huge females of Peridea anceps and Cerura erminea were also delighted. But the most interesting find was a female Smerinthus caecus! The last time I celebrated this hawk moth was 10 years ago.

Vlad, I congratulate you on Proserpine!
Also yesterday in my city I found for the first time a female Diaphora mendica with a clutch.
I decided not to take the butterfly and Grena. Let them live (and I will follow) .

Last weekend, Stupinsky district, Marinka

S. caecus, M. alpium, S. harpagula...not bad!

Venusia blomeri in this amount is also nothing)

S. caecus, M. alpium, S. harpagula...not bad!

S. harpagula first arrived. M. alpium in June occasionally arrives 1-2 specimens. in good weather, similarly with caecus, 1-2 copies each. once again.

29.05.2010 I decided to visit the Sushka River in the Serpukhov district of the Moscow region and visit its inhabitants.

The first two Parnassius mnemosyne (male) were seen flying along the road at a distance of about 200 m from their favorite clearing. There were a lot of them in the clearing. It was partly cloudy and as soon as the sun disappeared behind a cloud, all Parnassius mnemosyne immediately sat down on the grass and allowed themselves to be photographed. I even took one male in my arms without causing him the slightest worry (I suspect he was still drying his wings, he looked too fresh).

The butterflies were feeding on a bushy herbaceous plant with white flowers.


After taking plenty of photos, Parnassius mnemosyne saw a black and white male Parasemia plantaginis.




In addition to the two species already mentioned, there were many Carterocephalus palaemon and Polyommatus icarus in the clearing. I also found the caterpillar Malacosoma castrensis.

Ematurga atomaria, Pseudopanthera macularia, Siona lineata, Anania verbascalis and some kind of fingerfly flew

After driving a little further along the road, I found a completely different dry clearing in a pine forest.

Lycaena tityrus, Ochlodes sylvanus and, in my opinion, Pyrgus malvae flew here (I want to hear your opinion about the latter).




I was very satisfied with the trip.

Fifteen minutes ago, this somewhat battered, but very large (apparently female) linden hawk moth flew to my house, on the balcony.
I'm waiting for more:
P.S. In continuation of the report: A couple of some nice scoops (I'll be grateful for the definition) and tomorrow I'll probably continue with something else.
Well, I decided to add the ubiquitous Lomographa bimaculata (still sitting on my window and "not blowing into anything")
That's actually the whole balcony catch. True, mikra still flew some (only: Pandemis heparana identified).

Has anyone caught Lamia textor in Moscow???

Has anyone caught Lamia textor in Moscow???

I didn't catch it in Moscow, but I did it twice (9 km from MKAD). It is quite possible that it also exists in Moscow.

  
The butterflies were feeding on a bushy herbaceous plant with white flowers.

No, it's gusset (Vincetoxicum hirundinaria).

1-Ochropleura plecta
2-Axylia putris
These are scoops that are always there, from spring to autumn, although not in large quantities, samples from 3 to 10 (this is with us)

Thank you, unfortunately there is nothing more to add-I just drove another Axylia putris into the stain this morning. But this is in a city where everything is dirty, so please excuse me. Linden pleased with the scope-8.5 cm. (it is usually much smaller in our country).

So you have a female, she is bigger

So you have a bigger female

Yes, it's a female (just caught it for the first time). Well, healthy compared to the male, I will say.

Yesterday in Zhukovsky, a second Chlorissa cloraria was born -- as well as Perizoma hydrata and two freshest Agrotera nemoralis!
