Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2014-06-02 00:00:00, Vologda region, Velikoustyugsky district, Yudinsky settlement, luzhok near the former Church of Our Lady of Tikhvin on the bank of the Striga River in the great floodplain of the Northern Dvina.

Photographer's comment: I met him for the first time on May 24 of this year. He chased her along the road near that place, but she is extremely timid and crouches deep in the grass. The flight is choppy with jerks. He won't let you get too close. Therefore, I went in cloudy weather and actually flew more sluggishly, with relatively short flights. Very responsive to the crunch of dry grass underfoot. In the end, she got tired of my pursuit and flew across the river in a long flight. Meetings with this moth were rare, only three times.
