Trip was aimed to see the mountain flora&fauna of Crimea, with supposed focus on lichens and mosses. Finished early because of the rain, couldn't get past one spot of high rocks.
Best finds of the day for myself were:
First photo of Viscum album, Oecanthus pellucens on the grass at the start, female Lucanus cervus and unidentified Machilidae at the spot where we culdn't ack further fast and rain was starting, many Phyllodromica polita running around and Conocephalum salebrosum growing on the rocks at the spot where salmon were swimming, and of course Carabus scabrosus ssp. tauricus found by other tourists on the rocks right in the river.
