This morning, when the sun rose, the winter view of Grave.
Le ou la lepture tacheté(e) (Rutpela maculata ou Leptura (Rutpela) maculata), aussi appelé strangalia tachetée, est une espèce d'insectes coléoptères de la famille des cérambycidés (longicornes).
Description
La livrée jaune et noire sur les élytres est assez variable avec des individus plus ou moins marqués de noir. La base des articles des antennes est marquée de jaune.
L'insecte ne doit pas être confondu avec Strangalia attenuata, plus allongée et parfois plus marquée de noir.
Biologie
Les adultes ont une vie brève (deux semaines à un mois) pendant laquelle ils se nourrissent de pollen et de nectar (d'ombellifères surtout) tout en pondant leurs œufs dans des souches ou du bois pourri qui servira de nourriture aux larves.
Commun de mai à août sur diverses fleurs, de préférence blanches (achillées, berces, etc.), principalement en lisières de forêts. Les larves se développent dans le bois des arbres feuillus et des conifères.

In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.
