Moscow and the Moscow region

Guys, don't throw tomatoes at me, please .
You've just taken the fourth TROX in your entire life ! According to my Trox scaber. Troxes are quite rare in our country, according to my observations, I probably won't sleep all night now (I still have to wait). The photos are pretty bad: the beetle is lively and nimble:
UPD: Added a photo of a handsome man already submerged.

Evening on April 26 - dawn on April 27. Kazanskaya railway station, platforms Voimezhny, Tugolesye, Botino, Zapolitsy, 49th km. The barbel is not only already mating, but has already started laying eggs. The nocturnal climate is supermassive, but the number of species is very limited. In addition to the endromis females that were captured, several others were also seen. Several copies are marked. may crunch. Fauna items are not repeated in the images.
PS The fact that the day recklessly alternates with the night is a site glitch; I uploaded images strictly by their numbers, and then molbiol rearranged the files randomly during the download process, and I don't know what to do with it.

Oh, Peacock Eyes, did you come in one copy?

The Khripan platform . All the participants in the photo session were still alive , and I also had to throw Silkwings aside so that the crowd coming out wouldn't crush them .

Yesterday I went to Alpatievo, which is in the extreme south-east of the Moscow Region. Butterflies weren't the main target - there's not much to catch in the daytime right now - but the lack of moths was disappointing. First of all, I wanted to see what kind of places there are in general, and try to find some interesting primroses (unfortunately, the set was about the same as in Odintsovo district) Among the butterflies, I can note the departure of Celastrina argiolus and Xanthorhoe biriviata, and the only interesting find was Lythria purpuraria of the first generation.

However, the most interesting object was a colony of solitary bees discovered on the bank of the Oka River. I counted 3 types ?pereponov (a specialist would probably have found much more), please help with the definition.
The main type is some rather big burrowing bee


This one was less common, smaller in size

Some kind of nimble creature, red belly

There were also a few beetles in the colony, at first I thought it was some special bee-related species, but then I met a lot of them on the railway. I believe it's Opatrum sabulosum.

Both in the colony and on the surrounding flowers and willows, there were at least two types of buzzers, but only one was captured.:

On the railway I met another nutcracker Anostirus castaneus:

The grove in the Oka Valley (easy to find on some map site) turned out to be mostly broad-leaved, there was even a carpet of primroses in some places, of course, not as dense as in the steppe, but there was nothing special there: there was a medunitsa, a crested one, anemone buttercup, Peter's cross, and, perhaps, the buttercups themselves. I decided to take a picture only of the forest, which most likely ran away from a nearby cemetery:

Even during the trip, I wanted to see the Oka Flood. This, of course, succeeded:


After that, I also decided to explore the pine forest very close to the Lukhovitsy station. I didn't find anything unusual there, but it was the first time I met a male Acanthocinus aedilis, as well as Thanasimus formicarius:

 
There were also a few beetles in the colony, at first I thought it was some special bee-related species, but then I met a lot of them on the railway. I believe it's Opatrum sabulosum.

It is: 99.999%

Oh, Peacock Eyes, did you come in one copy?

In one. If you have a question for me.
In general, I already caught a female in this direction several years ago; and I know from other people's information that the species is generally common there (as well as almost everywhere), although it is not frequent. I just happen to be there at the right time, not even every year. I found the caterpillar a few years ago in a power line clearing in the vicinity of Donino.

Does anyone know if the Tau flew to MO?

Hello.
Please tell me what ontofagusy is in the north-east of Moscow
in early May.

Does anyone know if the Tau flew to MO?

Be patient, it's too early for them. From May 9, you can start worrying, and now pavonia has only just begun...

With your permission, I marked this on the Yandex map Editor. The river valley is shown in blue, and the route to the power line exit is shown in red. Just in case, open Yandex maps for comparison, because here my marks cover the forest road and riverine meadows, and on a clean map you can clearly see all this. You can see that the road merges from above into a large meadow that runs away from the floodplain to the south. The name of the river can be viewed on normal maps (in my opinion, a freebie).

Thank you very much! I'll definitely go there. Although the male endromis was already lucky enough to catch, and I feel sorry for catching a lot.

Evening on April 26 - dawn on April 27. Kazanskaya railway station, platforms Voimezhny, Tugolesye, Botino, Zapolitsy, 49th km. The barbel is not only already mating, but has already started laying eggs. The nocturnal climate is supermassive, but the number of species is very limited. In addition to the endromis females that were captured, several others were also seen. Several copies are marked. may crunch. Fauna items are not repeated in the images.

I dream of pavonias I have never met near Zvenigorod. Have you ever met them?
Can you share where you caught fish on these platforms? Only under the lights on the platforms or on the generator yet?
Do I understand correctly that you need to go to the south-east or east of the MO (Nerskaya, Tugolesye) for them? Are there any places closer?

.. and here is the fourth female endromis in our poor lands
Finally, we managed to catch a male in good condition. The sex ratio remains unusual, with a total of two males to four females arriving.

Today I walked with my granddaughter on the playground.Insects are dark.Sitting on a bench, I watched ammophiles scouring for canned food for their offspring,andren bees that dived into the sand like water, and some beetles.
Cleonis pigra?

The same one, no questions asked: Cleonis pigra (Scopoli, 1763)
I do not know Cassidinae at all.

Hello.
Please tell me what ontofagusy is in the north-east of Moscow
in early May.

I have caught only: Onthophagus nuchicornis (Linnaeus, 1758).
Maybe someone else is there, I don't know.
Although I dug up the shit decently: I found only the above-mentioned form

Again platforms on the Kazanskaya railway in the same interval; afternoon of April 30, 2012. Please note that the female pavonia is already at least crushed by the air wave from a passing train, and the male is even crushed by passers-by. At the same time, the female is alive, and the male is dead, but still completely soft.

I also attach a video file:

Two nights from 27 to 29, Moscow region, Marinka.
For the first time in several years. endromises have been flying for many years, given the fact that the birches are located beyond nesk. kilometers from the dacha. Plus many other rare species I have in large quantities.




During the day, in a massive number of C. dominula caterpillars, I scored 20-30 pieces, if desired, I could score two or three hundred, if not more.

Again platforms on the Kazanskaya railway in the same interval; afternoon of April 30, 2012. Please note that the female pavonia is already at least crushed by the air wave from a passing train, and the male is even crushed by passers-by.

Do you think it makes sense to hope for pavonius near Zvenigorod?
Where were they caught in the light?
Just under the lights on the platforms?
Isn't it too late to go for the pavonias on the second day of May?

Pavonia is worth hoping for everywhere.
I caught the light on platforms under streetlights. Along the Kazanka River, the species lives exactly from Khripani to Shatursky district.
On the second May holidays, it can still be, although it is unlikely to be in decent condition.
P.S. You need to choose platforms with lanterns that give the main light exactly on the platforms, i.e. do not throw the light too widely (for example, also behind the platform in the swampy backsides or on the railway track). Of course, you should choose a platform where, in addition to the platform lights, there is no night illumination in the immediate vicinity (or, in extreme cases, close to zero). At least one side should be protected. Using satellite maps, you can easily determine whether there is a forest or unnecessary light sources (such as localities, businesses, etc.) near the platforms. Platforms where one and a half lanterns remain unbroken on each side should be avoided: it will take too much time to walk along the dark platform from lantern to lantern. However, at the beginning of the season, most of the lights are still working, but you can't keep track of the whole road, you can't detect a faulty lamp by smell during the day, and every next evening can bring unpleasant surprises. After all, in most of the small settlements for which the platforms were built, there are really no public evening entertainment, except for drinking on the nearest platforms, smashing lanterns and empty bottles, and disfiguring signs. Sometimes a bottle is so filigree planted in the lampshade that only the PRK junkie glows, and here you have a ready-made ultraviolet source, you can't crack the DRL-ku yourself more precisely... By the way, electric trains in the direction of Moscow stop along Kazanka very early, so you can not do without an overnight stay on the spot and without a tent, which you need to put in the forest very close to the edge and to the platform and before dark, as there are a lot of undecayed mushrooms around the platforms.

Thank you very much! I'll go through the ones you've been to.

A short report on fishing in Pestovo, Odintsovo district of Moscow region. On the night of 29-30 after the thunderstorm, the weather was good, but only one garbage arrived (two female endromis, Earophila badiata, Brachionycha nubeculosa and all types of orthozyas, except opima and miniosa, are considered garbage) On the night from 30 to 1 years old, it was much worse, which probably all residents of the region realized (according to Zhuk, it was freezing), but Odontosia sieversi arrived, for the first time for me, as well as Xylena vetusta, which had not previously been caught in Pestovo. The first time I saw male endromis flying during the day, the raspberries were already flying. Also, a certain amount of micra was taken out from fishing.
Nola confusalis

Diurnea fagella, male and female. To Zhuk - the last one is larger than a female prairie dog)


Eriocrania sp.

Orthosia populeti

Odontosia sieversi

There are a lot of ticks this year... it seems to me more ordinary

Yes, this is normal: local carabuses climb along the trunks. How many times have I found it under the lagging bark at a height of half a meter or more (nemoralis in particular)

By the way, those nemoralis on the trunks, which are in the photo in my April report on Victory Park, both sat at about two meters high. In other years, I didn't notice anything like this. Under the bark-as much as you want, but in the open on the trunk at this height-did not have to.

M. O., Orekhovo-Zuyevsky district, Poplar.29.04-02.05.2012.
The best of all nights from April 29 to April 30, even though it was raining.
The worst part yesterday is why I did it, I almost got carried away with the sheet.
The Carmelites flew.
[attachmentid()=139822]

It looks like an Erotylidae (Skrytnoyedy) animal. Tritoma sp. Tritoma bipustulata Fabricius, 1775 such?

Well, it means exactly Skrytnoed: "Griboviki" they are also called in Russian. Only here with a look of doubt: it is necessary to confirm or deny someone.

Tritoma subbasalis

usually this is how marsh myrtle blooms

Thank you, Slava.I wanted to write blueberry (I don't know why I bought blueberries),because we have it,but it would still be wrong.

On May 6-7, I'm going to take a ride on railway platforms in the east of the Moscow Region in search of pavonias. I really hope that they will arrive this year.
Fish under the lanterns on the platforms, spend the night in a tent.
I don't have a generator or a car
Who's with me?
