Moscow and the Moscow region

I spent last day at a dacha in the O-Zuevsky district. It was hot during the day, and there were some blue dung beetles flying around. whether bronzes. I caught one (the other on a mattress with beetles). In the evening, a male tau flew through the area, a banal butterfly, but at the dacha I saw for the first time. The night is very warm, a lot of mosquitoes, black flies, May crunches and water lovers (there was a terrible crunch under my feet, because the whole earth was in water lovers). The purpose of the trip was Japanese schools (I gave away almost all of my own), and they came. True, at first two tremulics came at dusk, and after 12 at night two Japanese schools. Just the dominance of crested birds at night, I counted 17 species. The most popular one is tritofuses. I scored a little for my bombycoid friends. From relatively interesting-orthosia miniosa, Narraga fasciolaria, cuculia most likely banal-lucifuga, but not sure, lithophane similar but ornithopus. At night, some fly-bee came to the screen, just in case I took it with me.

I also keep this often, this is only for those who understand

Last week's fishing report in Pestovo, Odintsovo district of Moscow region. Most families of mottled whiskers slowly begin to fly, only the scoops are somewhat late (Lacanobia suasa is not too often, only rumicis from Acronicta) There are a lot of tufts - 12 species, although, in fact, there were probably even more of them. Bears flew: Phragmatobia fuliginosa, Diaphora mendica and Eilema sororcula; on the last night I met Calliteara pudibunda. Of the no longer interesting, but not very banal species, Acasis viretata and Tyta luctuosa once met (the latter, apparently, managed to form a population after 2010), there were also many Lampropteryx suffumata. For the first time for Pestovo, I noticed rather banal Lycia pomonaria and Ypsolopha asperella; I was more interested in Drymonia ruficornis, which I had only met once before in Moscow. Three females of Saturnia pavonia arrived during the whole time, which I was very happy about, as I had never seen this species before. I didn't see any males anywhere, but one female Aglia tau also arrived. Caught a new moth for me Eupithecia indigata, but the most interesting find among the macro was Simyra albovenosa! From mikra, a new leaf wrapper came to light for meCydia strobilella, and in the forest near the Moscow River caught Nematopogon swammerdamellus from long-whiskered moths. At the same point, I met a moth from the genus Incurvaria, which, if you are lucky, may turn out to be I. masculella - then this is a very good find. Of the beetles, only Ampedus was interested, but the least striking one was A. balteatus











Caterpillar of Dendrolimus pini

Caterpillar of Hallimorpha dominula

A caterpillar ?Zeuzera pyrina

  
I can't identify Raduzhnitsa, but still someone else can tell.
UPD: Perhaps rainbow Donacia bicolor Zschach, 1788 needs confirmation or refutation.

basically it looks like....

Gennadich - cool photos you have, lyapota!
Do you use a special lens?

Canon macro lens.

Gennadich, the firefly is similar to Euzophera cinerosella.

Tyta luctuosa has arrived
It's the first time I've met her here.

Kapets any, here is this you wet

But somehow we get wet.
The result of today's joint trip to the Lukhovitsky district of the Moscow region (near Beloomut). About 300 km round trip by public transport and "on your own two feet" (at 5 am I left and 23: 00 I went home).
A series of goldfish Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) was collected from one point (it was possible to collect more, but did not become). By the way, today for the first time in my life I collected this species on my own (I have never found it before). A real holiday for me

Vasily, what is the biggest one? Also collected in the Moscow region last week-much larger than from last year's fees

I tried it on in a hurry: 31mm. (I'll sort it out later). It was still full on the same logs of Melanophila acuminata, I took only one, "for the point": I regularly catch it.

Ocular hawk moth has arrived

Pavonia caterpillars hatched.
They didn't want birch, wild strawberries, rosehips, and elderberries. The apple tree seems to be almost untouched, too. And raspberries are well eaten.

Imagine, I don't have a net at all. I don't even know how to catch them: more and more hands, long tweezers with polished sponges, and eyes, respectively

Continuation of yesterday's post. Photos of those animals that I decided to take as of interest to me:
A couple of copies. rather variable arrowhead Acronicta leporina (Linnaeus, 1758), one specimen. "for extras" Acronicta rumicis (Linnaeus, 1758), a pretty moth Selenia tetralunaria (Hufnagel, 1767) and a pair of hawkmoth Mimas tiliae (Linnaeus, 1758). All views are generally ordinary, but it is worth considering that this is the center of a 130-thousand-strong city and under the windows there is a brightly lit square with a round-the-clock tavern and supermarket on it + one of the busiest streets of the city along which there is incessant traffic.

And there won't be a new view? Al hybrid? I should have waited

Just friendship! Moscow region, Serpukhovskaya district, Danki village district, 17.05.2012

This is not a friendship, but a rally in support of species diversity....

No, what do you say to that? I've just gone out to smoke on the balcony, and there's another Lime Hawk Moth sitting on the toolbox. And the freshest: apparently just hatched. And I just got knocked up. He wasn't here this morning. Fishing has begun.
"First Swallow" today:

Sexism is eternal!!!

Another small report from Pestovo, Odintsovo district of Moscow region. There are a lot of butterflies, but almost all of them are not in the right place( Pamphilus sennitsa has already appeared from the diaries, small mother-of-pearl flowers fly, I saw something like ino's mother-of-pearl or aglai (in flight) Dofiga of crested whales, 22 species, if we assume that there were two species of Pheosia and both Furcula bifida and furcula (I did not look closely at them); among them are silvery hole and Peridea anceps. Lomographa bimaculata could be collected in packages, but orthozyas are already few in number. Tau females were born several times, and Calophasia lunula and Earias clorana were found once each. I don't know if I would have written this report if the third one in the Minucia lunaris area hadn't come to me. I also caught a lot of micra, it is now in the definition, interesting and moreover definable for me were the leafworms Ancylis apicella and Coccyx turionella; for the first time for Pestovo, I noted Ethmia bipunctella. From the beetles, a water lover flew to the light, and during the day he also caught a strange dead-eater-shield carrier, which he then identified as Peltis grossa.
Does anyone know the name of a wasp-like weevil?

Similar to Nephrotoma crocata

HOORAY!!!
Proserpine arrived at 4: 30 am!
There is no limit to joy

Linden and bedstraw are already actively flying from hawkmoth. Both of them got three apiece. I met the eye-shaped one and the pine one each.

Similar, but not very much.
This is Ctenophora (Ctenophora) flaveolata (Fabricius, 1794), a female.

Hello everyone.Today I returned from Poplar.
16-18 visited with Vlad peat bogs and shone with a generator on the Nerskaya, there is a lot of interesting,but no less interesting find of the beetle Ditylus laevis on the dacha plot, under the old fence board.
Reports on scales later,photos are still being sorted.

Most likely it is! Ditylus laevis (Fabricius, 1792)
Andrey, do you want to go and turn over the entire fence

The Uzbeks have already turned it over. And I collect old boards on the site.

The photos are gorgeous!!!
Respect to Genadich!!!

Yesterday, Zhuk and I sat on the jury of the XXVII Green Olympiad of Schoolchildren. It took place in the roc. der. Misailovo in the Leninsky district of the Moscow region. We fished a little on the terraces of a small river. Here's what was encountered/caught:

Scales:
Pyrgus malvae
Papilio machaon
Leptidea juvernica
Clossiana dia
Сhlorissa viridata

Bugs:
Mesosa myops
Agapanthia villosoviredescens
Phytoecia cylindrica
Сytilus sericeus (Byrrhidae)

Biotope (photo by Zhuk)

Leptidea juvernica

A pressure cooker? Or is it a reliable field feature?

First, I haven't found the second one yet

Oh, I also had pamphiluses, I forgot.

Anatoly, are you sure it's her? Not P. nigricornis?
Can I ask for a photo if possible?

I think that she, shins and thighs to the middle of red. Photo, alas, now there is nothing to do, as soon as possible-I will post it!
