Moscow and the Moscow region

20.06. we visited the Batkovskoe swamp for the first time. Lots of impressions! The main task was to develop "swamp" butterfly species. Despite the comfortable temperature, the swamp itself is terribly stuffy, a lot of mosquitoes and horseflies.
In the mass were Coenonympha hero, but most flew.
Boloria eunomia and Boloria aquilonaris were also quite common, but the former prevailed.
Coenonympha tullia was smaller, all fresh.
Colias palaeno was not patched up in the swamp itself. I caught a single male specimen on the road adjacent to the swamp. Can't figure out why? Years at the end or not caught there?
Aporia crataegi flew everywhere, flew into the swamp.
We managed to catch a few Lasiommata maera on the road.
Also, there were many "nights" in the swamp, but I'm not an expert in this, so I didn't define it.
We walked for about two or three hours. We reached the lake. Small, beautiful there. From there, they went along a clearing to the road.
We met a bird. There is a photo, can someone tell me who it is?

Colias palaeno was not patched up in the swamp itself. I caught a single male specimen on the road adjacent to the swamp. Can't figure out why? Years at the end or not caught there?

Yolks, especially by the end of summer, tend to fly away from the place of hatching, so it's not surprising. There is information that Colias palaeno was recorded in the village of Luzhki, Serpukhov district, although there are already steppes and swamps far away.

On the night from Saturday to Sunday, I caught fish at my home in Vidnoye on the balcony. Pleased with the mass, of course, for the conditions of the city, years. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the species composition – I caught as many as 3 new species, and some species were also recorded at this point for the first time.

So how long does Colias palaeno last in the summer?

Leninsky district, Sukhanovo district, 23.06.2015

Another of the few places in the Leninsky district where you can look for butterflies is the floodplain of the Gvozdyanka River near the village of Sukhanovo. Unfortunately, at the time of my arrival, the weather abruptly changed from sunny to overcast, although it did not rain. Despite the beauty of the places, the set of butterflies turned out to be quite banal. On the way back to the city, I found a pair of Sesia apiformis on a poplar tree, after arriving near the house I went to inspect the poplars and found another female.

Another of the few places in Leninsky District where you can look for butterflies is the floodplain of the Gvozdyanka River near Sukhanovo.

It looks like a great place for such proximity to Moscow. And where is the floodplain of the Gvozdyanka River? I know there Sukhanovsky pond, on the south. on the bank of which is the House of Creativity in Sukhanovo, and it is connected by a small river with ponds to the south. Is that her?

Yes, the Sukhanovsky pond on the Gvozdyanka River. Places where I was, about a kilometer from the pond along the river.

A report on three trips to an interesting set of biotopes I explored in the upper reaches of the Moskva River, but first of all, about the day before yesterday, since the first two brought almost nothing special, but during the last one I discovered as many as 5 new species (only 10 km away). in a straight line from the dacha, the neighborhood of which I have been exploring for 6 years!), and do not care that everything is micra. All this is located to the east of Zvenigorod, between the villages of Mozzhinka and Kozino (the stop in this village can be reached by bus 452 in less than an hour from m. Kuntsevskaya Street). I have indicated interesting biotopes with numbers in the photo below, some of them are part of the Mozzhinsky Ravine Nature reserve. 1 corresponds to a dry meadow and the slopes of a small ravine, there is a lot of lyadvenets, there is a bruise in some places, and milkweed is found on the slope, the western border is the slope of a larger ravine with a linden tree. Number 2-the confluence of these two ravines, the slopes are mostly bare or overgrown with pine, there are various compositae and carnations. The ravine, in fact, does not reach the river, ending at the road laid along the shore with a convenient beach for swimming. Number 3 is already the slope of the Moskva River, partly overgrown with American maple, a lot of redwort and white wormwood, on the border of 2 and 3 - mainly ruderal vegetation, sometimes bare sand. The lower part of the slope is flooded in high water. Motherwort stands near the church. Number 4 is a pine forest, pine trees grow also on the slope. There are no particularly interesting plants there - the navel continues to meet, bells are distinguished, and a gusset is added in the western part. I didn't see any surprises there, such as molodil, heather, dream grass, or Danish astragalus. It is noteworthy that the forest is a popular holiday destination, but its zasrannost tends to zero. Number 5 is not such a steep slope as 3, with less dry-loving vegetation, there are no pupavki and white wormwood, there is still a gusset, there is oregano and licorice astragalus. Above is a dry meadow, where there is a lot of sorrel. Number 6-oak grove on the slope, something like a light version of the Ulitinskaya oak grove (there is no liverwort), with typical species-primrose, spring rank, various bluebells, sometimes with oregano or kupena (in the shade). In summer, the undergrowth is full of lastovnya and clover, in the middle part there is another ravine overgrown with ferns. Number 7 - a steep sandy slope with pine trees and dry-loving vegetation, there is a colony of solitary bees, which can be read about in the description of the reserve. On the sides of the road, passing in the lower part of the slope, there are a lot of yellow bedstraw blooming flowers. Number 8-lowering, here to the Moscow River just goes Mozzhinsky ravine, so there are a lot of different deciduous shrubs, nettles, etc., for me this place is not of interest, as there are a lot of such things in the valley of the Ostrovki river. Finally, 9 - again open steep slopes, where in places there is a pupavka, a lot of clover and lyadvenets, there is a tuber rank. Only at points 8 and 9 there is a lot of Sosnovsky hogweed in some places. This is what the map looks like with all the biotopes, the length of the coast from edge 9 to 3 is about 2.5 km.


5, 4 and 3 (in the distance) biotopes in mid-April; pine forest in the 4th biotope at the same time.


Slope in the eastern part of biotope 9; southward view of the Moskva River Valley (end of May)


Solitary bees in Biotope 7, taken in mid-April


Gusset-the day before yesterday I mowed a lot on it in the hope of finding Scopula umbelaria, but there were only nigropunctata.
[attachmentid ()=228356]

With pupavka krasilnaya luckier - it came across Isophrictis anthemidella. It's a pity that it fell back after freezing
[attachmentid ()=228357]


At the end of May, a caterpillar Griposia aprillina was caught in an oak grove, which is on the site insectamo.ru in general, only from the Cerebellum and there is, although last year I caught it in Pestovo.


Aleimma loeflingiana met there the day before yesterday


Phyllonorycter insignitella with clover in oak grove

Anacampsis timidella from a small oak tree at point 7


Finally, in biotope 9, we found one of the most spectacular cover - noses in the region-Klinzigedia wockeella (feeds on chistets)

I'm kicking up their tails...

17.06.2015 Moscow Metrogorodok district.
I took Cetonia aurata.
"you tell me."
"Not exactly! "I'll contradict you. Still, the red Book of Moscow. Yes, and on the territory of Moscow is not often found.



It was collected from this shrub. I'll ask for your help in identifying the plant.

Today I visited Nerskaya, put 2 cages with caterpillars and moth eggs there, and on the 6th I fly to the Crimea.
I mowed down the broom in the hope of finding the caterpillars of Acronicta cinerea / euphorbiae, to find out which of them lives on the Burrow. The previous two years were a failure, all the caterpillars died at the last age . As a result, I mowed out 4 pieces and put them in a cage, since I took a spare bag with me.I'll check in two weeks if the cages aren't bombed.






By-catch of Colias myrmidone caterpillars (all released)

Well, there is still not much of the output from Nerskaya.

Angelica last season was full of Lichens (O. Gorbunov, A. Zamesov, A. Elez); however, as well as all other Zygaena (except for the only osterodensis on the decline); a total of 9 species were found then. But it was not possible to confirm the chlorosis that year, and the only specimen photographed there a few years ago was not taken; it is good that you found the chlorosis after all; this is no longer an accident.

Galatea is also very pleasing; before that, I saw only one - no longer new-find of a luxury male from the Kolomna district (V. Y. Smirnov), whose photo hangs on the website of butterflies of the Moscow Region. God willing, it will trample on us as well as russiae.
At the beginning of the millennium, Teleius was noted as common (by the way, during the mass departure of betulae) in the vicinity of der. Mochila, on the near left (coming from the Village) edge of the forest at the turn to Podkhodoe.

In general, in the lishnyagovaya point for ten years (ending in 2014, I was not there this season), 11 species of mottled birds were noted (counting together with chloros), all practically without leaving their places (add to your yesterday's ones - filipendulae, osterodensis and pruni). The point in this aspect is unique not only for the Ministry of Defense.

The pine mane there, judging by your pictures, is thinning catastrophically from year to year; and on the lower part of the main slope, the pines have also suffered...

You also need to add the ephialtes that appears in your 2012 report.

Yes, of course. Sclerosis... Actually, ephialt was marked there in the last century.

Mini-report on yesterday's trip to Razdory. For those who are not in the subject - this is a cool place just a stone's throw from the MKAD, a dry pine forest on a power line clearing with various interesting plants. Unfortunately, I didn't come across anything special. Of the butterflies, only Yponomeuta cagnagella and Epagoge grotiana were interested. The latter, obviously, came from Gennadich - after all, now he is away, and butterflies should feel a lack of attention; in Pestovo last weekend, Mythimna pudorina and Chilo phragmitellus were similarly noted . Also, from the thickets of willow elecampane, of which there is a sea, I managed to mow down a finger-fly very similar to Hellinsia inulae, but I missed it. Two of the most interesting finds had a botanical focus. First, I found a small moor-the total heather cover there is 25, at most, 40 m2. But it's still very cool: heather is marked as extinct in Moscow, and here it grows only three kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road. Apparently, not only butterflies, but also plants decided to migrate from Poplar . It will be necessary to test it in May, August and June to understand whether such a small population is capable of supporting the existence of any monophage on the heather or not. Well, in half a month you need to visit this place-the heather indirectly indicates a biotope characteristic of semele, above there is a lawn with several types of cereals, and one of the last finds of this species in the region was made nearby. There are many mullein trees near the heath, where it is generally quite a frequent plant, but alas, there are no interesting checkers there, although there are both types. The second find is sulfur yellow scabiosa: I had no idea that this species was going north of the Oka River at all! Plus, I met a single copy of some krestovnik, which I initially took for elecampane, did not photograph.

[attachmentid()=230518]

I went yesterday to the vicinity of the village of Volodarsky for Zygaena centaureae. What can I say, she got caught literally after the first few attempts at mowing. It's just a pity that there weren't very many of them, so I couldn't photograph any of them in nature - I only met them in flight or mowed them down, there were no flowers on them.





The predominant species was Zygaena filipendulae:


Zygaena viciae was allowed to take pictures of herself in the most intimate activity...


... like Carcharodus alceae.


As in Razdory, there seems to be only one flowering krestovnik specimen for the entire biotope, but this time I took it off)


But, unlike Razdorov, the mass of willow elecampane grows here for a reason, and supports the population of the awesome leaf moth Tebenna bjerkandrella.



According to Fyodor reports, there is a golubyanka alkon here. I didn't come across it (and I didn't really want to), but I did find its intended food plant - gentian cross-shaped. But in Meshchera, this species is found not in dry biotopes, but in wet meadows, because there its caterpillars feed on another gentian - pulmonate.


Apparently, this is Apodia bifractella with an extremely sadly developed color:


Well, for a snack - just a couple of good photos of swallowtail, already today, from Pestovo:

As in Razdory, there seems to be only one flowering krestovnik specimen for the entire biotope, but this time I took it off)

And on the left are small turnips that will soon dry up and cling - what is it called?

Och prikolno-the second point on Tebenna! And there's a lot of alcon in lishnyag. And tebenna is also there =)

Enchanted this Volodarsky some-Lishnyagi near Moscow =)

Almost so and will be-repeshok. The abomination is disgusting, there is almost every settled biotope, it clogs the net and almost none of the butterflies eats it!

Stigmellas some rosaceae quote it well. But monophages really don't come to mind.

We do not have monophages, and Incurvaria praelatella can also eat it together with other rosaceae.

Removed from the straightener galatey from Serebryano-Prudsky district:

Serpukhov district, Luzhki district – Respublika district, 17.07.2015

Last week, I made one sortie from a dacha in Serpukhov district along the above route, hardly chose a day with good weather. I was hoping to meet Galatea there, but I couldn't. But he repeated his record for the number of diurnal species encountered at one time in the Moscow region – 48. If I had taken a closer look at the haymakers and mother-of-pearl (obviously there were very common species there – non-flying Coenonympha glycerion and Argynnis aglaja), it would have been 50.

I lit it on my balcony and went to the computer. Suddenly I hear.... Broads Came out to see who landed with such a noise on the balcony?
And I see: male Saperda (s. str.) carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758)
I jumped for joy
Despite the fact that they say: "this is an ordinary beetle," I catch it only once and every 5-10 years. Even strange why so? It seems that there are plenty of old poplars in the courtyards.... And a candle constantly from year to year
22.07.2015г. Russia, Moscow region, Zheleznodorozhny, on svet.

Vasya, take them all, shine brighter!!!!

I went yesterday to a remarkable biotope in the vicinity of the Sanatornaya platform, located opposite the Polushkin quarries on the right bank of the Moskva River. As a matter of fact, I was there for the first time in early June of this year, but then I didn't come across anything special except for a bat in the trash Aethes tesserana:




Limestone outcrop that reminds more of the Crimea than the Moscow Region:



On this trip, in fact, there was almost nothing special either. For a long time I hesitated to write a report, until I tried to identify the glass jar collected there. When I caught it, I generally wanted to throw it out, because I thought it was sorrel filth, but now it dawned on me - this is Bembecia ichneumoniformis! At least something justifies the huge thickets of peas, chinas, lyadvenets and astragalus licorice, since there are few mottled trees there. The butterfly itself was mowed down almost on the slope, which is on the left in the first photo in the report:


So you can't help but wonder if there is a vixen here, which was last celebrated just in the vicinity of the Sanatorium? I didn't see anything like it. You should probably check out this biotope at the beginning of July, at least the discovery of the vixen in 1989 was made on July 14. Perhaps, in suboptimal years, this species switches to a 2-year cycle, if it really exists here?..
Anania funebris is also found there:


Another remarkable place is located to the left of the railway in the direction of Polushkino station. There would be nothing special about it, an ordinary meadow, if not for the thickets of thyme in places (this is Thymus marschallianus or pulegioides). With it or not, but I managed to mow down a strange moth, similar to Pancalia (they feed on violets), but different from both of our species in the color of the inner part of the wing:

  
Despite the fact that they say: "this is an ordinary beetle"

The last time I caught it was in Torbeevo, in 2012. It's actually a very infrequent bug. His closest relative Similis still caught.

Join, infrequent, and still matters condition, very fresh and not rubbed very rare, especially females.....
