This is the thing what the caterpillar turned into. I wonder if it should be rather named a cocoon. Pupae still move a little bit while this thing hasn't done since it appeared or I might not have noticed.
The food plant on what caterpillars of this species feed (at least, in Botanical garden of the Institute FEB RAS) is Rhamnus ussuriensis.
Petr, hello! I mistakenly noted month 6 instead of 7, correct that, please. Actually, I shot that with my old Olympus with unstable settings needed to fix every day. I hurriedly set once "6" instead of right "7". I will send you now other shots of this butterfly made with another camera.
Roman! It's still questionable if it was honeysuckle whatsoever. I'll know it this year. If we meet up this Saturday, I can show you both the site and the tree.
Petr! Why delay? This is also Matov A. Yu.'s identifying. There are only two experts in the Russian Far East Noctuidae in the whole country, and Matov is one of these two. Got his "yes" to the authors's identifying and work place. You can check it up.
Is it possible for more detail. And, for obvious data. They can be seen visually? To determine the type of?
Eugene! However, you have given Russian name and it is not confusing? With regard to the elm, please. Here's Latin. Ulmus pumila and Ulmus laciniata
Hello! It's about food supply - OSTRYA CARPINIFOLIA. As I was trying to figure out a tree in the Primorsky region does not grow. I'll ask more botanists BPI FEB RAS, but they probably say the same thing. So, once the tree is not proizrostaet, -to habitats Donaciinae Schrenk, it can not be their food supply.Oviposition occurs on elm, as well as (for an Internet data), - to serdtselistnom ...
This is not my name and Chistyakov either. My album has no any file named like this. So, either it's some technical bug (not mine), or the human, as it's called today, factor.
Pardon, I seemed to confuse something uploading images. Checked out my folder and found different name, Epatolmis caesarea.
As for bug. Chistyakov examined this caterpillar with me nearby. He called it Arctiidae. Latin name was also given by him. There was also one more entomologist with us. Since I'm not one (and there happen to be some contradictions in this "entoworld"), so I applied to this image the info about author's identifying. Not to confuse who identified that first. By the way, there are some more ...
Hi there! The third stage of this caterpillar you identified as #6372: Caligula boisduvalii. So why this one, the first stage, and further also are undetermined? This is the same caterpillar.
Caligula jonasii is a Japanese species. We have none such. Seems to be same Caligula boisduvalii, before the first molting.
