Petr! As far as I know by many shots at different websites, Vitaly didn't shoot in Russian North or Northwest. All shots were made in his village house in Moscow region. Move to comae.
I'd suggest Plebejus argus what shot author roughly retouched with hue/saturation tool and got as a result red orange instead of yellow, light blue at the main part of a hind wing instead of gray etc. I used to blunder like this at the beginning of my practicing digital photography. By the way, that would be good to note that for authors uploading their shots not to use such hard "beauty" ...
There is the next quotation: "Not so lately there was published Kaila and Albrecht work [Kaila, Albrecht, 1994] revisioned this group. Authors showed that Т. griseata can be only in limited areas such as the south part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, Baltic States and Northwest Russia (Leningrad region, Karelia). All info about Т. griseata met in other European regions included Russia, also West ...
Also, Petr! Why do you name the website as "botanical" one? This is some youngsters slang? For them we're surely all botanists, but this website is entomological, isn't it?
Petr! I'm not photo genius at all, but have been practicing macrophotography for a long time. This photo (if it ever can be named "photo") is not discussable from any photographical point of view. Fully approve Dmitry and Vasily opinions! There are photographic view and just defective work when a photographer didn't manage to shoot a thing without all this rubbish in the foreground! So that's the ...
Very big "but"! Cnaemidophorus rhododactylus shots shown at this website don't suit this one at all! Again, no shot location info :( What about Uganda or Peru? :) )
No info about shot location, but seeing at author's it should be Moscow region. I'm not an expert in Geometridae, but Evgeny Tsvetkov (Saint Petersburg) thinks there can be only Timandra comae in Central Russia.
In personal communication Alexei matt (ZIN), the species is distributed throughout the Caucasus in the subalpine and alpine zones.
Evgeny! These items are being boiled now ;) If it turns out to be something different, I'll correct this. Athalia in Russia usually lives in more dry statias, and britomartis prefers humid meadows. Anyway, devil knows. Will check it up.
Seems like author's blunder. Adding first Lycaena in a row he put there also Polygonia. Not possible to identify so wrongly.
There seems to be a couple of icarus! The male has a shine different from amandus, and it's full of orange spots!
Mistake! This is not amandus but P. coelestinus, what we can clearly see by a very bright light blue dust on its hind wings!
To be picky enough: according to Synev (exactly, Zolotuhin in Synev Catalogue), in Russian Far East can be only tancrei who has a note "wrong identifying certhia auct.". Roman! Reask after Dmitry: why certhia? Petr! Don't move it anywhere till discussion finished.
Not 100% sure either. They caught metis there, but I managed just to shoot this very butterfly, not catch. Or shooting, or catching, as a rule :(
Such wrong identifyings are caused by author's neglecting shot/caught location info! Million times there was told about this!
Boris! So sign it like you told, anyway it can be easier just to mention female caught/location :) The rest is interesting but irrelevant indeed. By the way, I was in Dombay that very time!
Whatever! Let it be 0.75 then. But many wonder for sure the species shot location, or its expansion. Or one just doesn't want collectors to find that out? Can't see other reasons to hide this information, cause you even have some fields to fill in with this info when uploading photos. As for location map, that's cool! But, as for me personally, when I find some interesting butterfly in web, I ...
Petr! I meant a collection item, in this case its value will be null for sure! There it 0.25, ok, some people just need to have a look at a species. But only 0.25 :)
Boris! Why do you publish photos with no info about shot/caught location? The same as item without label in collection. Species seems to be rare, but with no label it has a null value.
Sasha, where did you find it? I broke my mind with this beast. Was clear to the family, but further, no way!
Hipparchia pellucida! To move! There is no semele in Crimea and can not be, since this is more northern species.
H. pellucida expansion: the mountain part of the southern coast of the Crimea... H. semele: Baltic states, Belarus, Western Ukraine. To the north till the Leningrad region, to the east till Smolensk, Bryansk, Kaluga and Ivanovo regions (reference: A. L. L'vovsky, D. V. Morgun. Lepidoptera of Western Europe). Petr! Move to H. pellucida!
