Wildlife Spotting

You have already my suggestion and vote +1, so any other who agree might add another + or has to give a new suggestion.

haha, yes why not! After all is the closest one to Dimitri's butterfly :))

OK, we take Nymphalis, but which one? Do you agree with Xantomelas??

Then it's a deal, kaniska goes, nymphalis stays :)

Kaniska would have black and blue, so it looks more like Nymphalis.

Moscow is in my eyes out of the range of Kaniska canace and I did not find any reference in European books.

Oh, @Bayucca xanthomelas is very similar to the Kaniska canace in the underside! But I'm afraid since we don't know what's the color in the upperside, we can't tell wich species it is! Maybe if Dimitri could tell us :)

One of the most tricky ones, I IDed from Europe. It is definitely a Nymphalis sp. and I think it is Nymphalis xanthomelas, due to the more intense color contrasts and the sharper scalopped forewings. The other candidate is Nymphalis polychloros. Please, Despina, take a look at this one and tell me what you think.

No, it's not a tawny moth. It looks like a polygonia c, or a kaniska canace http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kaniska_canace_no-japonicum_underside.jpg http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/vodolaz/vodolaz0804/vodolaz080400009/2955051-butterflies-from-moderate-climate-of-russia-polygonia-c-album.jpg
