21.february.2022 – spring is close

Yesterday, 21.february.2022, me and Claudia explored for the first time sone forest not very far from Iasi. This was the first insect hunting trip for this year.

Not much was found but one new species for me (and a rare one from what I know) has come out from a fallen dead trunk of Populus – Pleganophorus bispinosus.

I’m not a talker so will just leave here some photos from yesterday and links to species page (or at least to some of them) where other photos can be seen.

• Lasius brunneus
• Oedemera femoralis
• Mezira tremulae
• Mimas tiliae
• Cucujus cinnaberinus
• Pleganophorus bispinosus
• Rhizophagus bipustulatus
• Bothrideres bipunctatus

Bird’s-eye views of the area to end this post.
