Moscow and the Moscow region

Do Tau virgins fly? It seems that they need an injection to start.

This is guaranteed to be the case with pavonians (and probably with the whole genus), but it may not be the case with tau, although I can't say for sure.

It seems that female endromis also begin to fly after mating. I don't want to say that the unfertilized don't fly at all, but if they do, they're already looking for a place to lay eggs.
In continuation of the topic: female "wingless" moths (sitting quietly) I most often met at about the same height on the trunks-a meter and a half. Of course, I can't see anything higher than five meters, but at a three-meter height it would be quite possible to see them if they were there. I rarely found them quite at the bottom at the roots and rarely above 2 meters, although I inspect the trunks from the roots and up to where I have enough vision. Apparently, after hatching, they crawl onto the trunk without the intention of running straight up, but to dry off and wait for the male. And after waiting, they start looking for a place to lay eggs.
I mean, it doesn't make sense for females of non-feeding species to crawl or fly before mating.
No?

I went to d today.Zhukovo, for food for your pets.I took an old soap dish, a backpack and a small net and set off.Before collecting food for the caterpillars, I decided not to hunt them much and take pictures of what I would see interesting,and at the same time take a walk.In general, I am happy with the walk, if not for the rain.
Here's what we managed to see and capture in nature.Almost all photos of butterflies were taken at home for well-known reasons.There are a lot of infected caterpillars, I hardly found canned food, but there is probably no guarantee.
I would be grateful for the help of identifying animals..

Gennadich, what kind of creepy creature is this? I didn't know that we have such a thing, it's definitely a gelechiid, and not Ethmia quadrillella?

These barbels were hanging out in the hazel grove.

And this one was sitting on a willow tree

Exactly, and I then looked at the kangaroo house and rolled my lips.

That's right, and I looked at the kangaroo house and rolled my lips.

Well, I will briefly report on how I went to" work at work " in Moscow .
Moscow, Eastern Administrative District, Bogorodskoe district, night of May 29-30, 2013.
The catch, of course, is "sparse", but this is stinking Moscow and I'm on duty (especially not razgulyeshsya).
It all started with the capture of the moth Timandra comae A. Schmidt, 1931
under a lantern from the DRL, and I already thought that this was all. But suddenly, in the morning, a woman turns to me and says that she is afraid to go to the toilet because there is something hefty, fat and scary sitting there. They say: "remove this muck." I go in there, and this is a huge female Hyles gallii (Rottemburg, 1775). Apparently at night it flew through an open window into the light that burns there all the time and settled on the wall. I picked it up in the stain and now I'm thinking about writing a geographical label. It comes to mind: "Moscow, Eastern Administrative District, Bogorodskoe district, on the light, in the toilet"
By the way: the fresh appearance of the female suggests that she was born somewhere nearby, and did not fly from afar. And this is Moscow.
Such are the cases:

Yesterday, a male Aglia tau

Today, I couldn't believe my eyes, the Prague metro area saw two males Tau

You are all so surprised by the facts of detecting insects within Moscow that you get the impression of complete sterility of the Moscow expanses

Term industrial zone does it tell you something? Industrial zone "Kaloshino" it's within walking distance. In short: live in Moscow and you will understand everything

I looked at this case in Google , personally, a huge forest area in the form of a "liver", which stretches over a microscopic industrial zone in that area, says a lot to me
Not only is it like the largest forest area near Moscow, but the place is also generally surrounded by woodlands.
A bad butterfly, maybe it was flying from one forest to another, along the way it needed to, and it flew into the toilet like a civilized one,and here you are..

This array is called Losiny Ostrov National Park
To the left is also quite large Sokolniki Culture and Recreation Park

Leaf beetles in the first three photos-Smaragdina salicina

Viktor, I'm sorry, but it could also be Smaragdina flavicollis. These two species must be distinguished by their genitals. At least this is the case for Benkovsky.

A specimen of Dendroxena quadripunctata

A specimen of Dendroxena quadripunctata was found in the center of Moscow

I assembled it on 16.05.2013 on the Kursky Railway Station Square. The specimen was slightly crushed, but this did not prevent it from being spread out well. The beetle is found rather infrequently.

I found it only 2 times. By the way: in the forest where we climbed a year ago (Torbeevo/Gullies), which is also near Moscow.
Here they are, my dears. Found with an interval of 6 years: on the left, 23.05.1999, and on the right, 24.05.2005.
And I didn't find any more: a good beetle in Muscovy.

My copy was found in the Elektrozavodskaya metro area, not far from Kursky train station. I've never found this view before.

Is it really that rare? I meet him every year near Ramenskoye (practically in the city). Or is it just about Moscow?

Where are the oaks it should be: a predatory bug and catches caterpillars on the oaks like-like. The truth is rare here.

Another small report from Pestovo, Odintsovo district of Moscow region. There was almost nothing left of the spring butterflies, and summer species flew out, including atalia and avrinia. At night, the most delicious find was Apamea illyria, Conisania luteago and a lot of Bupalus piniaria also arrived.




This is certainly not the Cicadetta montana itself, but a clear proof that it exists in Pestovo)

I went for a walk in Zhukovsky Park:

Vlad, these goldsmiths can be found dofiga with us now on buttercups, dandelions, etc
. Do not worry that you did not collect: another "car" will be

Yesterday, 10 days earlier than last year, I went back to the neighborhood of S. Andreevskoe Odintsovo district. I came across fresh Lycaena helle, but Boloria eunomia did not meet, apparently it has not yet flown out. And the general list of what I saw is as follows:

. Do not worry that you have not collected: there will still be a "wagon"

honestly speaking, there is a small "ambush" with this species if I'm not mistaken, then a few years ago Europeans described a species of vdoynik, it seems Ilya (Mantispid) gave a link to this article here.... they differ in the sculpture of the head and the width of the forehead

I wouldn't be so sure, especially without the male's genitals (a depressing situation, so now I'm "pulling" everyone to find differences in females by spermothecae, so as not to "depend on males", which are usually given in the defining tables) let's focus on the genus recently caught such a bug on a birch tree, and when "pulled"afigel! about the color of prsp and spots on the shoulders - forget it

ps Gennadich cool scoops

I didn't catch others east of Moscow (don't forget about the region). And even more so, the appearance is very characteristic of him and the size is most likely about 1 cm. That is why I am so sure.
P. S. I do not see the shoulder spot on the outer edge of the elytra, unlike the smaller L. longimana, in which it is very pronounced and which I came across only on the border with the Ryazan region (Alpatievo).
Now there is no time to argue so-as the next departure to the Vladimir region is planned. (in the evening, most likely, the report will be), but I still put it on tridentata.

I agree with Vasily. Both here and in the Moscow region, the choice is small.
And who are you awesome on the birch caught?

Just to deal with this "small choice". For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, there are large labidostomis (those copies that A. O. B. watched). turned out to be L. lepida

So you also have L. lepida? Interesting. Thanks for the information.
We have (according to Romantsov) only tridentata and longimana
