Moscow and the Moscow region

I spent the weekend at my dacha on Yaroslavskoye Highway, behind St. Pasad. Butterflies are traditionally few here, there are too many dacha cooperatives in the area. One proserpine arrived (I don't think I've ever seen it in this place before), and there were quite a few mendicas. On Saturday afternoon, I went to kill a crucian carp in the peat bogs in the Yaroslavl region, beyond Pereslavl. Compared to the Moscow region, fresh raspberries, swallowtails, and taus still fly here. The grass has practically not grown, but there are a lot of ticks (I took 20 pieces off my clothes). I found a mustachioed guy. there was nothing else to note.

This is not a barbel, but a leaf-eating iris: Donacia or Plateumaris sp. More precisely, maybe someone else will say, I have a little weak with them.

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

Vasya, what is so interesting? I have already found P. nigricornis this year. In our country, according to my observations, it is less common than cylindrica, it mows out on wormwood.

Yes, it was the discovery of P. cylindrica that interested me. I just don't find it, and P. nigricornis as much as you want . I'd like to take a look.

Yesterday we went with G. S. Eremkin hot on the trail to the habitat of the polyxena found by kotbegemot and lepidopterologist in Alpatievo. The only polyxena caught 300 meters from the biotope, and the female-probably one of the last this year. In addition, from the daytime caught my eye

Papilio machaon
Pieris napi
Colias hyale
Nymphalis xanthomelas
Polygonia c-album
Boloria dia
Clossiana selene
Coenonympha pamphilus
Lycaena tityrus
Everes argiades

most of them are massive. From raznoustykh I will mention three bedstraw hawks, startled out of the grass.

A day earlier, on Sunday, G. S. Eremkin visited the Petushinsky forest in the Vladimir region and was struck by a massive invasion of podaliris. At the same time, up to 7-8 butterflies were in the field of view, the number was significantly higher than that of the swallowtail.

6 upper photos - Alpatievo, 6 lower-Petushinsky forest.

Not surprising. I have a polyxene station directly under the site, this weekend only one caught my eye. Their century is short, however. Soon it will be possible to watch the tracks.
I wonder what kind of plant with such semans from photo 5?

These are" slices " of the kirkazon fruit. Seeds are at the end of these lobules.

That's what an idiot I am! I never thought to gut kirkazon's pumpkin and see what's inside

P. we have plenty of cylindrica and you probably have no less. On umbrella roads, including snyti and kupyr.

Hooray!!!
The second proserpine has arrived
This time, not at 4:30, but at 22:02.

From the first encountered in our poor regions -
Leucodonta bicoloria yesterday and Acronicta alni five days ago.

The mass flight of Drymonia ruficornis has ended, and Peridea anceps still fly in large numbers (in general, in heaps).

A lot of Eilema sororculum, Diaphora mendica, Calliteara pudibunda (caught one completely dark brown without a pattern), Pterostoma palpina, Lomographa temerata.
We were pleased with Phymatopus hecta, Cyclophora annularia and Plagodis dolabraria - this is quite a lot.
Hypoxystis pluviaria, which flew en masse on Zapolitsy, did not see any of them.
The first Opisthograptis luteolata arrived yesterday.
One is Ptilodon capucina, two are Furcula bifida.

A lot of linden hawkmoth and already flown red peacock eyes. Bedstraw plants arrive.

Gennadich, cafe-172nd kilometer! (Andrey Jovovich, stroke-hi and thank you for the tip =)
And the village is Lishnyagi, not Lishnyagi or Lishnyaki, as on the sign))

Well, you need to improve your literacy, otherwise it's just a shame...

Zdorovenki buly, your behemoth. Among the toponymic wonders, let me remind you that at the very entrance to Lishnyagi on the sign someone splattered the first two letters with paint (it's been sticking out so much for years, I think they haven't fixed it this year either), so now we turn right from the Kureba lapel before the bridge over the Lane not into Lishnyagi, but into Shnyagi.

By the way, well done that the tent and car were placed close to the forest belt, and if they were taken out at least three meters closer to the river, they would suppress a lot of valuable fauna. However, any car travel on the dirt road between these forest belts and the field at this time of year is obviously worth the lives of several Dorcas of both sexes. So I advise someone to pass these one and a half kilometers in front of the car and either discard the dorcadions, or collect them, just so as not to push the wheels in vain.

What you once identified as Jordanita chloros in my photo was photographed just a few steps away from your bivouac.

If you will be in that place for a long time, I recommend (if you did not know) to take very good water in the spring on the other side, just down the river, where the previous tourist exit skoz forest strip leads to the shore directly to the cape and backwater; from the cape brody to the other side of the feet-right through the island or bypassing the island- and on the other bank, several springs run directly into the river. Ford is already quite passable in boots.

Good afternoon!
Guests from the south arrived in Moscow: burdock and yazykan! And even managed to leave behind a small offspring, however, while in the form of eggs! Photo of yazykan taken yesterday, photo of burdock-today, Istra district. If you can, please tell me the name of the plant that yazykan laid his egg on...

I think so:
Galium aparine L. (Rubiaceae family)
Bedstraw is a tenacious weed.
I have found yazykana caterpillars on other types of bedstraws.

Today we took a walk with a Beetle 150 km from Moscow - to the Batkovskoe swamp, to visit Jutta near Moscow. It's nice there - cloudberry, dwarf willows, rosemary bloom, all this is pollinated by small, northern-looking bumblebees; dwarf birch grows. Grace, in short! There are a lot of Jutts, I haven't even seen so many in the north, and at least a hundred individuals were found along the route. Most of them are already battered, really. The main find (for it and went, in fact) - scoop Coranarta cordigera, also has absolutely no, in terms of the quality of specimens. Like a madwoman running around among the blooming wild rosemary. Another nice find is Acronicta menyanthidis. In general, I am unlikely to surprise anyone if I say that due to a sudden and hot spring, the entire phenology has shifted by 1.5 - 2 weeks.
Collected/Met:
Pyrgus malvae
Oeneis jutta
Clossiana euphrosyne
Gastropacha quercifolia (larva)
Jodis putata
Acronicta menyanthidis
Coranarta cordigera
Lacanobia thalassina

On May 30, I was in the PTZ, watching the construction of the Oka River bank. In addition to the number of snappers and plates expected in this region, I was surprised to find a pair of Calosoma investigator. I'll give you a full list of beetles later.

I would also like to offer a short report on our joint trip yesterday with Volodya Smirnov (Macroglossum) to Nerskaya (the railway station of the Big Ring of the Moscow Railway).
The trip began with the discovery of the thin worm Korscheltellus lupulina (Linnaeus, 1758) at the Kazansky railway station in Moscow: a kick in the CC of the Moscow region
On the Nerskaya itself, the places are simply wonderful: I didn't even want to leave. True, I didn't come across any interesting beetles: I only caught 1 copy. Peltis (=Zimioma) grossa (Linnaeus, 1758) (never found before). Runs/crawls a lot of all kinds of reptiles. I even managed to catch a small viper (Vipera berus) with a butterfly net!!! We watched a little and I let her out-let her live.
List of the most notable species:
Colias myrmidone (Esper, 1781) is full, but many have already been extensively flown.
Aporia crataegi (Linnaeus, 1758) well, a lot: it filled everything in the area.
Papilio machaon Linnaeus, 1758 a lot, but almost all of them are flown.
Euphydryas maturna (Linnaeus, 1758) is sometimes quite rare.
Finally, Tyria jacobaeae (Linnaeus, 1758) was caught singly!
Yes, yesterday your humble servant caught a net for the first time in many years
Well, some photos:
P.S. I really want to know what kind of small butterfly is in photo #6. We have a lot of them everywhere.

Vasily, and Aporia tobish Hawthorn, on the eighth photo all is not alive. Is this pest control, or is it supposed to be done according to the script?

Pyrausta porphyralis, a good find. But not the fact that they are all like this.

Vlad, there are a lot of them out there. Closer to the Nerskaya River itself (on the sand). I didn't take it myself, but I recommend checking it out.

And Vlad probably means that there could have been other, more common Pyrausta species, which from a distance can not be distinguished from P. porphyralis...

Yes, do not understand: on a puddle drying up filmed. Apparently half of them died, but the cluster is completely wild.

Will, Sing. I took a few shots of it: I'll just figure it out right now.

Come on, it ended up like dirt.... On roads on sandy slopes... But one view...
Basil, addition-luxury ausonia (male) Funny, but luxury argiolus)))
On the river mass of dragonflies dragonflies (beauty) males, under the canopy of the forest (near the swamps) females
Dia only comes out, bumblebees (one), bedstraw (many).
There would be more, but there are almost no honeybees... Only broom and lupine(bespontovy)_ On the road of ammophila and some of the pompils (small)

Well, I do not understand them, I call them finished, well, what does Vasily have in the photo Here?

no offense, but with the same success-this fenestrella kangaroo has a completely different habit http://www.lepidoptera.pl/show.php?ID=1302&country=RU

Do not judge strictly) That's exactly habitus and confused Yes in Beloomute 2 weeks ago fenestrella)) and this is something related))))

And where exactly in Beloomut?

Well, starting from the military unit on the way to the power line, the route is 2 km. It is on the gerbil on the power line. And then after the power line on a pont-less path along the edges on broom flowers.
Well there are 3-5 individuals in the field of view at once

Do not judge strictly) That's exactly habitus and confused Yes in Beloomute 2 weeks ago fenestrella)) and this is something related))))

Was it fenestrella? Or maybe this one?

http://lepiforum.de/cgi-bin/lepiwiki.pl?Eurrhypis_Pollinalis

Vlad, yaz Gru do not understand mozh and Pollinalis. Well tomorrow I'll catch it if you need

Today I visited the power line clearing between the village of Torbeevo, Lyuberetsky district of the Moscow region, and the Ovrazhki station of the Kazan direction of the Moscow Railway for goldenrods and barbels, as I previously noticed a lot of relatively recently felled trees on it (apparently it was expanded due to some new technical standards) and I want to share the result.

Cerambycidae:
Monochamus sutor (Linnaeus, 1758): many.
Acanthocinus aedilis (Linnaeus, 1758): many.
Acanthocinus griseus (Fabricius, 1792): collected a series that I am very happy
about Xylotrechus rusticus (Linnaeus, 1758) : on birch and aspen logs in crazy quantities!
Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758): small, only 2 specimens were collected. on a single oak log.
Saperda scalaris (Linnaeus, 1758): a lot, but I took only one pair because it was too small.

Buprestidae:
Chrysobothris chrysostigma (Linnaeus, 1758): единична.
Chrysobothris affinis (Fabricius, 1794): 4 specimens collected.
Phaenops cyanea (Fabricius, 1775): there is always a lot of it, so I took 1 copy.
Melanophila acuminata (Degeer, 1774): a lot, took 2 copies. for a point.

Tenebrionidae:
Upis ceramboides (Linnaeus, 1758): it is rare, which is even strange because far away from Moscow it is in large numbers, and nearby I always catch it one at a time.

Carabidae:
Panagaeus (Panagaeus) bipustulatus (Fabricius, 1775): it is also a single one, but there is never much of it.

Just like that, I took the bus from home to the forest for a short time .

By the way, did anyone notice that this year's camel is somehow bigger than usual? Even deep in the city come across, and not only entomologists.

Yes, they also saw Tolik in Alpatievo.
