Yesterday, 24.04.2010 went with a friend to the south of our Omsk region to catch the light. The weather was wonderful - very warm (+22).

driving up to the intended place of fishing, we stopped to take a couple of picturesque shots:

they were on the spot at about 19.00. At this time, small groups of Archiearis parthenias were still flying around the birches. We caught them in 3 pieces for a point. Then preparations for the night fishing began:

after checking the wine baits, we noticed several butterflies Conistra vaccinii and 1 Orthosia incerta.

Night fishing was not very pleasant with the species diversity, but it was compensated by the number. A. flavicornis arrived in dozens:

C. vaccinii and B. nubeculosa were observed in the same amounts. Endromis versicolora was also very pleased - from 22.00 to 1.00, about 40 individuals arrived, including 4 fresh females!

Of the interesting ones, only Conistra rubiginea was caught - the 4th specimen in the region (the other three were caught only last year). In our country, it is probably located at the extreme eastern boundary of its range and is very rare.

On May 6, I went night fishing in the vicinity of Omsk. The weather was favorable (+20, overcast, no wind or rain). Accordingly, the year was good, although not particularly rich in species diversity:
Endromis versicolora is still flying (18 units arrived overnight)!

Clostera albosigma

Falcaria lacertinaria arrived en masse:

Quite a lot of Selenia tetralunaria:

In addition, scoops flew:
Acronicta rumicis
Orthosia gothica
Orthosia incerta
Orthosia gracilis
Orthosia populeti
Conistra vaccinii
Brachionycha nubeculosa

Moths:
Hypoxystis pluviaria
Trichopteryx carpinata
Cleora cinctaria

Meanwhile, at home from the eggs laid by the female endromis:

I came back from my first trip. route. Barnaul-Abakan-Kyzyl-Erzin-Shagonar - and back.
Summer is very late. Daily fees are stupid, except for small episodes of trifiz and O. elwesi.
Very successful materials were collected by night. Approximately 80 sphingids, large volumes of scoops, moths, and arctids. In general, it is normal, very hot. Of the minuses, it is extremely late in the summer and terrible pictures of the life of the population in Shagonara. The scariest ones. The feeling that we are not in the Russian Federation in 2010, but somewhere in Sierra Leone. Nightmare... I was with my 9-year-old son - the kid got a strong impression when he stepped over a drunk, dusty man in shagonara when buying ice cream. The largest grocery store in the city with 50 tons of population approximately 9 sq m. Devastation. Drunk. Rednecks. Ugliness. Tuva for 10 years remained at its own.... How to say my friend-to bring a tank of alcohol and "accidentally" open it. In a month, the territory will be cleared...
Greetings to all those who are familiar with the Ulug-Khem basin. Papaver in particular!!!!
Photo reports will only be available in August. Now there is absolutely no time to do this. 11 I'm going to Tuva again.
In Tuva, a strong flood, demolished many small bridges. This must be taken into account. The Yenisei is very full-flowing. About 5% of Kyzyl and several villages along the Yenisei River were flooded.
Have a great summer!

Recently returned from Altai. I've been to a lot of places, including camping on the Ukok Plateau for a week. It was possible to explore large areas, as they moved on powerful ATVs, which were delivered there by KAMAZ. Unfortunately, out of the entire group of 10 people, only I am interested in entomology, so not all trips were devoted to butterflies, but also to hunting and fishing. I was lucky with the weather and managed to catch quite a lot of butterflies, although not everything I wanted. At night, too, I regularly caught a split DRL 250, placing a sheet directly on the KAMAZ cab.The nights were bitterly cold, ranging from -5 to +8, but butterflies were flying, especially bears on one of the warm and overcast nights. The butterfly report is still ahead, and tc hasn't even started sorting anything out yet. I caught very few beetles, so I took them only along the way, but I give you photos of mattresses and will be grateful for the definition.

This year Viktor Gazankhidis (Moscow) visited Ukok. These are my favorite places. Icy, shrouded in constant clouds, with unpredictable weather, an amazing Tibetan landscape, a lot of historical mysteries.
More than 100 species of diurnal butterflies fly there. I have an article about this. There, in the ice crypt, they found the most ancient example of animation. The tattoo on the warrior's body in the form of fragments on his arm and side formed the image of a galloping deer as he moved. There are frequent encounters with wolves, bears. Huge grayling is caught there.
I've been to Ukok more than 10 times.
A few photos for dear forumchan.

Report on a trip to the Altai (Katun-Chulyshman-Teletskoye Lake and adjacent localities). The trip was still the same

-a sea of adventures, even with elements of extreme sports , but I still managed to catch insects, as an amateur for me, a sufficient number, although it didn't work out very well with night fishing, more diaries and beetles (parnassus, cerambicides and carabids were especially pleased). One of my most memorable trips!!! Nature, in general, is fabulous (the tropics are resting

). I was probably only more impressed with Kamchatka. So Altai forever

!!!
