Moscow and the Moscow region

I found it three times in the center of Moscow

I regularly hatch Trichoferus campestris from apple tree logs (since 2003). For Ukraine, it was indicated first by A. F. Bartenev (Kharkiv), and then again by A. Zamorok

Engaged in business at the dacha on Yaroslavka, 83 km. The only thing that I can distinguish is the herds of dominula, which were born a hundred pieces per night. Previously, it was clearly less.

Today I was in the PTZ (Serpukhovskaya district), first in Karpovaya Polyana, then in Luzhki and the Republic. I was surprised by the huge number of all kinds of lepidoptera compared to last year. Just cars flew Papilio machaon, Satyrium spini, Lycaena virgaureae tityrus, Gonepteryx rhamni, Nymphalis l-album(these created ppts how many). Only Meleageria daphnis flew. I also observed a female Muschampia tessellum laying eggs on the leaves of Phlomis sp. From interesting things for myself, I first caught the moth Philereme vetulata.

Earlier this week, we went to the south of the Moscow Region, to Kurebino Serebryano-Prudsky district, to look at southern grasshoppers. Wonderful places, with a lot of erect-winged birds and rare plants (for example, Pyrethrum scutellum). As a result, they found a Russian isophia (Isophya rossica), which was sitting on trees and was found in the steppe, and, I think, unusually large females of the eastern sawtail (Poecilimon intermedius), but for some reason they did not find another wingless grasshopper of these places - Poecilimon ukrainicus. All this is in addition to other inhabitants of the southern Moscow region, such as Viridissima. From the missing - a full-winged form of an ordinary green beetle, with a very bright and unusual color, more like Parapleurus alliaceus. But the butterflies, on the contrary, were few, and all banal. In the end, a rainstorm came down at midnight, and I didn't manage to walk as much as I would have liked.

Together with Romka (Omar) I was at his dacha in the village of Lovtsy, Lukhovitsky district. During the day, I didn't meet anything interesting from butterflies, from beetles, the most interesting barbels from the ones I met are called Dick... At night, catocals perled on a split lamp, yellow ones in dozens, crimson ones in units, but regularly, after 15 I got tired of taking them, all the subsequent ones were eaten by wagtails in the morning. Of the interesting things for me was a couple of scoops. On the second night, I suffered all day with my right eye, did not catch it, only in the evening it let go and we went to the oak grove near Beloomut. Everything was conducive to a massive summer, but it didn't work out. There were practically no beetles, and only yellow catocals flew en masse from butterflies (under a hundred). Banal hawkmoth and cocoonworms were flying only a few times. From an interesting, single one came the golden tail, Narraga fasciolaria some scoops.

Yes, it's a golden tail! Seryoga pie! =)

nothing! super!

I would like to clarify what kind of bronzes from the oak grove under Beloomutom

I don't know much about beetles, but I think the banals are two metallics and one aurata.

They are the same, I forgot to specify that viridissima was not removed.

And today, in the center of Moscow, near the Belorusskaya metro station along Leningradsky Prospekt, I saw Papilio machaon brazenly flying by! (Maybe not quite on the topic, but I really wanted to share it with someone )

I was at the PTZ today, in the vicinity of the village of Luzhki. There were Lycaena virgaureae, phlaeas, tityrus. Satyrium pruni grated already. A lot of swallowtails, for the collection I took a large female, used to come across smaller ones. I have seen several Zygaena lonicerae. A relatively large number of Zygaena ephialtes, while walking along the glade of the power line, observed about 20 specimens, including two butterflies of the form medusa.

Zygaena lonicerae





Zygaena ephialtes

Moscow Region, Serpukhovskaya district, Zibrovo district, July 08, 2011.
Papilio machaon is ubiquitous, almost all specimens are already battered, and it was easier to find fresh Melitaea didyma at the edge of the forest. I found Maculinea teleius in a meadow with krovokhlebka, many of them very broken. There are Polyommatus daphnis, quite a few. Again I met Melanargia russiae, now 2 copies are quite far from each other. Apparently, this species has a chance to meet almost everywhere this year.

I know Olga Sytina from Yandex photos and I think that the biology teacher will not be engaged in falsification of facts.

About five years ago, when I was in Kuzminki, I saw two large butterflies flying past, which absolutely do not belong to the fauna of central Russia. So obviously some prankster released.

Here's more on the topic:

Report on a trip to the Mecca of Moscow entomologists - the village of Luzhki, Serpukhov district, Moscow region-with colleagues Zhuk and lepidopterologist.

As for the beetles, it is worth noting the capture of two Potosia fieberi. It seems that this species is not so rare in the PTZ (in early June I caught it near Karpova Polyana). I found Lasiopsis caninus on a quiet lawn. Of the barbels on flowers in the mass of Stenurella bifasciata, Aromia moschata, Pachyta quadrimaculata, on the umbrella came across Necydalis major. Persistent attempts to find osmoderma led to the fact that I found a tree, apparently once inhabited by osmoderma (a small hollow, numerous excrements similar to osmoderma, under the tree), but, alas...

Among the lepidoptera, we were struck by the abundance of swallowtails of varying degrees of freshness and their early-aged caterpillars, as well as 4 species of Satyrium, which sat in abundance on the inflorescences of bluebottle. On the side of the road caught a heavily flown milkweed hawk moth. However, our colleagues will probably tell us more about lepidoptera.

Total beetles:

Family Scarabaeidae:
Cetonia aurata
Potosia metallica
Potosia fieberi
Oxythyrea funesta
Trichius fasciatus
Lasiopsis caninus
Hoplia parvula

Family Cerambycidae:
Aromia moschata
Necydalis major
Stenurella bifasciata
Stictoleptura rubra
Lepturobosca virens
Pseudovadonia livida
Pachyta quadrimaculata

Recently, I notice that in the Moscow region, species have begun to come across that have not previously been found in it, moreover, in several places at the same time. Recently, sdi caught a golden tail, and just now I was born in the Stupinsky district with one golden tail exmeplar.
I think they'll be everywhere soon..

(To the Dergg report)
You can add a huge amount of Satyrium w-album to the butterflies, almost all of which have already been flown. And last Thursday they weren't there yet. Come across i licis, spini, already very shabby pruni. Only Favonius quercus. Two specimens of Maculinea teleius were caught in a clearing with several bloodworm plants. Carcharodus alceae, the 2nd generation of Cupido minimus, are isolated. Only Zygaena filipendulae, Lythria cruentaria flew. Very massively Idaea serpentata.

Report on a trip to the Mecca of Moscow entomologists-Luzhki village, Serpukhov district, Moscow region

There are stronger places in the MO, but for Lasiopsis caninus respect and respect. This beetle is found only in those parts.

On July 11, I went to the Red Lighthouse...At my request, the forum participants did not localize the cherished places...As a result, I went on a BOOM.From the north of the Moscow region to Moscow and then to Vladimirskaya.I left at 6: 00.Having overcome 400 km, I found a station.This is the first time I've seen live Parnassians.I caught 20 copies in 1.5 hours.I left three copies-a male, a female,and a girl.He dismissed the others.Out of 20 pieces, 5 copies are battered.Just that the girl who came out (from the pupa) surprised me with her behavior!Just like in the literature.I wasn't going to fly away,but when I fell and unfolded my wings, I started to "hiss"-scratch my wings with my feet...The rest, disturbed, flew away like ass-crows!Lots of Swallowtails.And there are a lot of Hawthorns to fool around with....Having dug out five cleanings(on which the female Apollons laid eggs), I went to MO. I took my mother-in-law in Moscow and arrived at the dacha before sunset.In the north of MO, there are insanely many Hawthorns and Swallowtails this year.Soon the second gradation of Swallowtail caterpillars will start eating umbrella plants and dill.In the evening, the first tanners(saw-toothed)barbels flew to my baits!Very early.Thank You All!Reading the forum carefully, I found a "normal" apollo!!!

Today I spent fishing in the village of Luzhki.
On current oaks:
1. Oiceptoma thoracica.
2. Plagionotus detritus.
In addition, I found Protaetia lugubris on the trunk of an oak
tree, and Osmoderma barnabita was pleasantly pleased as an imago on the trunk of a tall oak tree and as
larvae in the hollow.

Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Zolototilovo village, July 11-16, on light.
from new products:
Apamea unanimis and Hecatera bicolorata

Zygaena ephialtes, while walking along the glade of the power line, observed about 20 specimens, including two medusa-shaped butterflies.

Pictured form peucedani Esper, 1780

Pictured is a peucedani Esper uniform, 1780

In the photo, yes. I have never photographed a jellyfish in nature. I was afraid to miss it

Last weekend, Stupinsky district, Marinka.
From what is worth noting - the light of Catocala promissa and sponsa, only a few. Also these two species were found drinking juice from cracked oak bark in the morning. Because of the moon, nothing more interesting.

During the day, a fairly common set of butterflies flying at this time, from the interesting Lycaena tityrus, a lot of mating mottles (probably Zygaena lonicerae) and a single Zygaena filipendulae.
I also saw a flying mourning bird, this is the second time I have seen this species this year, although I have never managed to catch it.

Moscow Region, Sergiev Posad district, Zolototilovo village, July 18-22, to light;
this season continues to delight with new products:

Arenostola phragmitidis
Cerapteryx graminis
Apamea scolopacina
Acronicta auricoma

Zeuzera pyrina

Idea serpentata
Isturgia arenacearia

I got back from Luzhkov an hour ago.
Trichius fasciatus, Oxythyrea funesta, some Potosia metallica and Cetonia aurata, and one specimen of Lepturobosca virens. There are swallowtails in the air. On the oaks Vespa crabro, Prionus coriarius (males), but continues to please Osmoderma barnabita. Males are found in small shelters on the surface of an oak trunk. Often, the paws are missing. The female was caught inside the hollow.
Potosia fieberi is not and never was.

I also did not see Potosia fieberi in the PTZ, but in the Belgorod region it is a mass species.

July 17, 2011 Moscow region, Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, vicinities of the village. Now. The fauna is mostly banal, although the biotopes are interesting and deserve further research. Swallowtail (second generation) is common. Argiolus (second generation) is numerous. There are a lot of dumps of logs (mostly last year's), mostly pine. A very interesting moraine (?), located to the south of the long-dismantled narrow-gauge railway, is not visible, only some small stones can be found in easily accessible places of the swamp. The moraine was clearly visible a few years ago, when its area was burnt out and settled and had not yet been overgrown with forest; now you can't see it from any side behind the rising birch trees, etc., except from the air.
