Yes, right, Eryphanis. Dmitry, thanks! Tend more to Eryphanis automedon, though not sure. Eryphanis polyxena is an alike species... Maybe pros add something?
I am not going to add anything, but apparently will have to answer in detail to avoid misunderstandings and grew a tendency to "red stamp". You're absolutely right - I'm always for the truth, clarified in the correct form. Therefore, I explain: 1. Jura, please read carefully - I have not referred to the opinion of Al.Zhakova on the species, and his words about the fact that the information is ...
Jura, "not to water it down" and not to repeat, at this point I will not add anything to the discussion. I, like Al. Zhakov, I think that seems to be enough said on this page, and here http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/21521.By their arguments / reasons I add is nothing, especially in this particular picture (And mind you, no one insists on the accuracy of the determination of the form). Perhaps ...
Ure, the answer obradoval- hence oreas slowly conquering new spaces (not just Golda;)! Coming soon to your Red Book have to be amended) (This is what Bush the country populated Celastrina filipjevi, not surprised they are settled more easily)
Jura, in my opinion, their resemblance does not provide explicitly define the type of image, and given the place of shooting, the small number of species oreas and more difficult survival on artificial planting Prinsep, I'd rather stop at Filipeva, given that the Botanical Garden of the population of a large and sustainability. But wait, what will EA.Belyaev (repeat - example Goldia pacifica very ...
Ure, the site A. I know for a long time Nedoluzhko even made it here a week ago, the list of literature at number 97, there is a lot of useful. So that is where both are represented copper-butterfly (Filipeva - http://www.treefrog.ru/photo/category/13-phil.html and Article MM Omelko about both - http://www.treefrog.ru/ floraandfauna / item / 21-phil02.html). Shodstvo- !!
It would be very good. interesting! Ure, I just wanted to understand - why this photo you reacted to oreas? What's in it such, indicating definitely this kind? And yet you were the night, another article found. MM Omelko, NV Omelko "Breeding and maintenance need of protection of insects as one of the directions of their preservation."It is there including these two kinds - Filipeva and oreas. And ...
Jura question - why oreas? Let me explain where doubts. Maybe I do not know the latest data, but in the latest version of the Red Book of Primorsky Krai in the article on copper-butterfly oreas (compiled by Belyaev EA) indicated that this species in Primorye significantly numerically smaller than Filipeva ,.and you've only known two kinds of permanent colony on the territory of the Ussuri Nature ...
Lev, agree. I'd call it demure graceful) Pity it's rare. I thought I could later take better pictures, but saw it just once)
Petr, this may be closed and moved to Ahlbergia frivaldszkyi, I found on the species description page that Callophrys ferrea = Ahlbergia ferrea are Ahlbergia frivaldszkyi synonyms. Though there is still place for doubt. The website by Eduard and Oleg Berlov "1000 SIBERIAN BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS" has Ahlbergia frivaldszkyi (Kindermann, 1853) and Ahlbergia ferrea (Butler, 1866) as two different ...
Peter, I added a "copper-butterfly seaside" through the Old to the form. Just zasomnevalas- whether to score just two Russian titles (especially since I can not determine what, or more accurately the prevalence), and therefore decided to name-second copper-butterfly ladonopodobnaya- added through comments). As for caps - uchtu)
In the literature, there are two kinds of Russian names Celastrina ladonides: online memory YP Korshunova "Butterflies of North Asia" http://www.jugan.narod.ru/ - copper-butterfly-Maritime, in the atlas-determinant animals south of the Russian Far East, edited by AE Vrischa - Copper-butterfly ladonopodobnaya
Ure, yesterday began to write their opinions to your answer to Peter. And today is ready to support you - it Celastrina filipjevi = Maslowskia filipjevi. The Botanical Garden in a radius of about 2 to 3 meters from the large number Prinsep Celastrina filipjevi. Butterflies of this species do not usually fly off from the undergrowth Prinsep more than 3m.According to Belyaev, "The Botanical ...
The picture is not quite good but very informative) I think there can be no doubt of that the ID is correct like that was on there http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/6380, since only Celastrina ladonides larvae (of four possible species discussed there) feed on Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. and Sophora flavescens Sol. In this photo Celastrina ladonides female is laying eggs just on Lespedeza!
It pleases) Alexander, I note - it would be nice if, and under other "unidentified object" set records). A lot of issues ... I understand that the Far Eastern species are not too familiar to most, but it is more pleasant to find the answers)
Do not give rest to this photo). Ure, the new guide: "Fauna of the Ussuri taiga", edited by AE Vrischa which acquired, flying away from you, this kind of early spring is uniquely defined as Celastrina ladonides (copper-butterfly ladonopodobnaya). This atlas you probably have (including "Flora" is exactly))), see pages 116-117. Photo, by the way, Yuri Chistyakov
Yury, want to share some interesting find concerning differences between Pieris melete and Pieris dulcinea. The publication "Diurnal Lepidoptera of Priargunsky district" by Novosibirsk entomologists V. V. Dubatolov and O. E. Kosterin reads that Pieris dulcinea's back black spot on its forewing is as well emphasized as the front one, whilst Pieris melete has that back black spot quite more ...
To the collection... of water areas)) Colias hyale against the Golden Horn Bay in Vladivostok. To Dmitry: I do love interesting backgrounds, which can really enrich the aesthetics of a shot (what's probably not so important for catalogue, still looks nice)), especially if the subject of a photo is shot good. Yet it's more common when you're just too far from pondering the background thing)... not ...
No secret) Philippines, of course. Luzon Island, can't say surely what's part, alas. They (pupae) are the great travellers)) Philippines — Thailand — Vladivostok — Moscow! Therefore I doubted the emersion would be successful) Yet they all did emerge, you may see these beauties in other photos)
Dmitry, Vladivostok here means the shot location as well as Moscow for three other images of Atrophaneura kotzebuea raised from the pupae shown above. These pupae are the gift from Southeast Asia, naturally. By the way, previously added photo of Papilio rumanzovia http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/21416 is the same thing, wasn't called attention to.
))... chained with one crush) Pity sometimes that the gallery isn't designed as one to enable adding exclusive author's name to photos))
It's been allegedly deemed before as a variation of another similar species, Neptis thisbe most probably.
Me think too not only "dry" photo can enrich the catalogue) should I say again, each photo of poor quality may take its legitimate place of an exclusion before good one is uploaded. Different subject though, not to comment)
Even with the Sea of Japan))) Petr, thanks. I usually cut any background before uploading on this website, which is called "catalogue" and primarily serves as that).. but this time was pity to cut it, good vacation memories of Russky Island)
This is rather ubiquitous species in the Far East along with Neptis sappho. Neptis tshetverikovi, Kurentzov, 1936.
If I'm not wrong, this pic was posted on molbiol.ru about 1.5—2 years ago, the discussion included a comment by pro about males happened as well to have such spot.
Always wanted to shoot lathonia so that its nacreousness would be clearly seen))! It is the most nacreous of all of the kind.
For some reason the autosuggestion didn't work... The pic is hardly of good quality, yet I decided to upload this since the species was not illustrated with nature pics.
Petr, no biggies, question is still here) As for the background I'd like to say it couldn't look natural as well as in other imago photos of Atrophaneura alcinous. I made an author's comment that those specimens had been raised of pupae in winter (larvae had been picked from birthwort in August) at home. Few specimens emerged in Vladivostok, and the rest did in Moscow, 10 days later, right by the ...
Petr, photo #21313, Atrophaneura alcinous female, disappeared from the gallery. Since it was good quality, have just one idea, you might have considered that Atrophaneura alcinous already overillustrated? Ok with that. But that photo had my comment/question that I'd like to reask here please. I'd like to hear some pro opinion of the difference between submarginal semicircles of the females ...
I don't object) If the moderators decide this angle would be a better choice for this swallowtail, let's rotate. Once I upload images of the emerged butterflies, I'll rotate, promise) Igor, thanks for the "amazing pic")
No objections) Even more, I totally agree with Alexandr in his wish to see this website good and reliable.
Alexandr, thanks for the remark. I saw this species as Chartographa ludovicaria more than once on Chinese and Korean websites as well as there: http://globalspecies.org/ntaxa/1412906 , http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=297134 и http://macroid.ru/showphoto.php?photo=36142.
Alexandr, this very species was identified long ago (photo dates 2008) by professional entomologist. It read as Amphipoea oculea (LINNAEUS, 1761) ssp. nictitans Bkh. Also I checked this on leps.it and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphipoea_oculea.
On your request to substantiate a link reply http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/21263 and http://lepidoptera.ru/gallery/21264. For fidelity definition warrant. Compare underside gives an unequivocal answer. Copper-butterfly Filipeva met three times in large numbers - they plastered all Prinsep in mid-August. (Sorry, do not immediately get a comment)
