I seem to press the wrong button. Will correct that right now.

26.04.2011 15:26, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #9004

No, no label.

24.04.2011 14:42, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #2509

I would say this is io.

24.04.2011 14:30, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #9035

The second one (behind) is Apatura schrenckii.

Sephisa dicolora princeps Fixs.

23.04.2011 15:50, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #9013

Maybe, Zygaena trifolii Esp.

23.04.2011 15:47, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #9028

Can be (Odontosia (Notodonta) ziczac L.) (seriously questionable).

Probably, Everes alcetas (?).

12.04.2011 17:17, Igor Sakhno: comment on Gonepteryx rhamni

A more interesting point. Imago, developed from overwintered eggs of birds, immediately after leaving the pupa hibernate somewhere under the leaf for two weeks. And at the end of June - beginning July depart from their shelters and have been living a full life.

I have no doubts about the label since I caught this butterfly myself, in 1976, when I was 14 and spent all the summer in Berezov Mineral Waters resort, Kharkov district. Anyway, opinions are welcome.

07.04.2011 23:00, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #8280

Maybe, that's right. Can be moved whatsoever.

05.04.2011 23:02, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #8280

What about Bulgaria and Romania that have the same latitudes as Crimea?

05.04.2011 1:30, Igor Sakhno: comment on Sphinx ligustri

More privet, euonymus, and in captivity More willow.

05.04.2011 0:58, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #8280

Hm, all sources include Crimea.

05.04.2011 0:39, Igor Sakhno: comment on photo #8281

Don't know, it's all named Crimea (this one also).

Yes, I even signed it "Oil on cardboard". I'm the author. This Sphingidae was caught in 1979, 27th of July, in Nikita. I had no good camera those days. 10 years after I made this picture using an expanded butterfly from a collection trying to be as more precise as it was possible, when depicted colors and position of the body, wings and other features. Think, it's rather piece of science that art.

A small note: "khaki" - the color of scorched desert (approximately the same as in your photo at the honeycomb.

21.03.2011 22:15, Igor Sakhno: comment on Daphnis nerii

In sufficient quantities it flies to Europe from Africa. Ff. prefer to lay eggs on the oleander bushes along the coast (at the time, the other migratory species, such as, A.atropos, prefer to fly inland). Diapause pupae do not tolerate, and even more so even a small short-term frost kills them.Therefore, every spring we come to the new individuals to the very cold weather and produce offspring. ...
