Theretra japonica
Vasily, the Far East identification guide says there are three species of this genus, of which only one is distributed in Far East, Mimas christophi Stdr , which is quite similar.
Ampelophaga rubiginosa ?
Antherea yamamai
Antherea yamamai
Larva
Seems this one should be moved to Neozephyrus brillantinus Staudinger (aurorinus by Kuznetsov). It develops in Quercus mongolica where the larva was found and fed on. As for N. japonicus, it has no discal hatches downside its wings and develops in alder tree.
I think, it's way far from Cucullia asteris. Location doesn't fit. According to the Key to the insects of the Far East of the USSR, there is no asteris in Amur region. I checked the catalogue, it mentions 35—37 regions, neither there. I'd like to ask the author, Dina, could you please recall on which plant you shot this larva?
Peter! Correct. In food plants P. holophylla be read and Abies holophylla
Despite all the author's stands about sure IDs of the photos, this is definitely not Hypsopygia costalis, and even not Pyralidae at all. As for Timandra comae, it's absent in Jugoslavia according to the Catalogue, or it just wasn't catalogued. This image of Hypsopygia costalis still differs from Timandra comae version. Ira, look at its head, it's stretched, which we can't see in any photos of ...
Found in the internet Old. In my opinion it is worth reading. Dolinskaya I. Ivy I. Review of the book "" V. Jizera Bombikoidnye lepidoptera and Corydalis Siberia and the Far East. Two PDF files. Here is a link http://mail.izan.kiev.ua/vz-pdf/2000/1/20_New_Books.pdf
Something I do not understand - especially external vida.A where do the eye diameter, length of the whiskers, the diameters of the head, etc. Yes, even up to a tenth. Is that really important?
Here is image of Gastrooacha sikkima: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastropacha_sikkima
Ira! Didn't check out the links you gave, I checked and compared their descriptions. You're right again, this is Melanargia epinede. As for #7671 pic, I think the same is there. Grounds: 1. You can see part of the topside and this is specific color of Melanargia epinede whilst Melanargia halimede is way lighter; 2. If we rely on the collection specimen (underside) of Melanargia halimede, Vasily's ...
Description Jizera - cocoon color does not match the description Kurentsova.

There is closeup http://macroid.ru/showphoto.php?photo=4810&size=big&cat=6516. Both species shown in one pic.
Vasily, thanks! I checked the link and other sources on the web. Summary. Nearly 100% sure this is P. brassicae. If compare with the web, there are some slight distinctions, can be just larvae age. Also they could have to do with uncertainty if there would be male or female after pupation. Should be checked biologically, documenting with shots, everything will be cleared up. Pity no one prompted ...
Here is something similar http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/4761, can't see clearly, no way to enlarge. Why anyway to have such if can't be properly seen? What's use of them?
There were tulip and Perilla nankinensis plants nearby. Cabbages were a bit far, around 30m aside. I was watching these larvae for few days, took 2 more. They all refused eating Ipomoea and finally died. Ipomoea was damaged slightly, could be snails though. Before pupation larvae stop eating but unlikely they just happened to get on Ipomoea to pupate. Here two arguments. 1. No larva eventually ...
Vasily, why didn't move this one. The same specimen.
Pupa got of #25435 larva. There is also small pupa of supposedly Tachinidae parasite beside it. Here is something similar with another butterfly species http://zooex.baikal.ru/diptera/tachinidae.htm
Larva is infested with fly.
Tortricidae larva ? Food plant is Fraxinus sp
Well, agree. The shape of the apex spot is specific. So if no objections, should be moved.

Twisted case of Cosmia trapezina larva.
Yponomeuta kanaiella Matsumura
Yponomeuta kanaiella Matsumura
Ira, you're right! The first letter is indeed "K" (kanaiella). Found my notebook with IDs and identifiers. Could have checked it before. So my pardon to all.
So if anyone wanted to collect pupa, where should he/she look for one? You claim that no matter on which plant pupa is fixed, this is not biology. Thus you admit that larvae of any species which pupate in plants crawl wherever they could and get fixed in anything occasional, any plant instead of choosing some group of plants or just one, and they don't avoid some plants in which they refuse to ...
Alexandr, so the info isn't complete then. Some sources, for one, say: "Pupae of overwintering generation are fixed underside of Philadelphus tenuifolius leaves and then fall down together with these leaves on the soil where they overwinter in the leaf litter. Institute of Biology and Soil Science FEB RAS, TINRO-centre, Phoenix Fund, 2011." Isn't this biology? This seems to be wrong though.
Here we already have plenty of pupae. This is distinguished for it was shot in late autumn in nature, wasn't raised of a larva. Pupa poses at about 2m height, supposedly in Philadelphus tenuifolius (no leaves). No visible damage on it I noticed which is uncommon to see, most pupae have some damage. Still unclear why pupae are spotted in Philadelphus tenuifolius. Haven't seen any pupa in ...
"Entomology is the scientific study of insects which examines the thing in its full." nothing to add, well said. What we're all to aspire to. Descriptions should be definitely added with such info, no matter that there are no references yet as to this very species of parasite. Personal observation is of more weight as it's authentic and proved (with an image).
Please let's not limit ourselves with plain cycle from egg-laying to imago. This is a biological website, so let's show the biology in full (which can be shown by pics). Lepidoptera parasites are to know too, this info might be useful for experts anyway. Just don't upload individual sawflies or ichneumons as it's still to be proved that it's very them who invade larvae and then pupae. Let's ...
Broken cocoon, with remains of larva or sawfly?
I added pupae of another species http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/25020
R.jankowskii is distributed in Primorye, I confirm. As for this pupa, I got it many times, no win. This one, in the pic, is at home too, picked up again, no positive belief it will work out after two fails.
Ira! Didn't I dig it out... Suggested filipjevi just roughly. Wanted more opinions if there would be any. So pitched that in the morning, before work.

Weird shape, maybe this cocoon belongs to anything but lepidoptera?
Rhodinia fugax?
