The original 'Butter-coloured fly' which is steadily extending its range northwards in the UK depending on the availability of its food plants. Warm weather in early March will raise the Brimstone from hibernation. This species is also a long-lived Butterfly and may be seen on the wing nearly every month depending on the cold weather.

Can be variable in colour from whitish-green, to bright yellow depending on the the spiders habitat in matching the colour of the flower its on. An ambush hunter and will sit and wait for its prey. Can be found on flower heads, among grass, scrub, woodland edges and gardens. Around 27 species of crab spiders in the UK and named after spiders crab like appearance.

The silver Y is a medium-sized moth with a wingspan of 30 to 45 mm. The wings are intricately patterned with various shades of brown and grey providing excellent camouflage. In the centre of each forewing there is a silver-coloured mark shaped like a letter Y or a Greek letter Gamma. There are several different forms with varying colours depending on the climate in which the larvae grow. The head almost seems like a head of a monkey.

Evening view of the new district of Krasnogorsk on the bank of the Moscow river.

About the cathedral: built in 2020, two floors: the upper church is dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the lower one is dedicated to the holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. The interior and exterior decoration of St. Andrew's Church is focused on the best examples of Byzantine and Old Russian architecture.

The height of the temple is 55 meters. The temple is designed for one and a half thousand people. The monolithic reinforced concrete building of the temple, with a total area of about 4,500 square meters, was built on two floors, interconnected by three stairs. For the convenience of parishioners, the church has 3 elevators. The concrete elements of the dome are covered with smalt ceramics, and translucent elements are inserted into the windows. Depending on the holiday, the domes of the temple will glow in different colors.

Barn Owl - Tyto Alba

Norfolk,

Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.

Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.

Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.

Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.

This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.

Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.

Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.

Population:

UK breeding:

4,000 pairs

Europe:

110-220,000 pairs

My favorite Coffee and a Butterfly... Simple Pleasures :)

The monarch butterfly or is a milkweed butterfly. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly.

Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3 1⁄2–4 in).

The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the northern and central United States and southern Canada to Florida and Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north.

The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in southern California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.

Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙

It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)

....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!

. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)

.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.

The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)

Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.

"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)

some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

Well, at least almost, depending on how and what you count. ;-) In the last few weeks we have been discovering more and more how beautiful our landscape is - in the near or far. Day trips for hiking are currently available to discover new things. The next hikes for the upcoming long weekend are already planned.

Tangara labradorides labradorides

(Metallic-green tanager / Tangara verdinegra)

Metallic-green Tanagers inhabit humid montane forests in the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. They are mostly blue-green in color, although strongly they appear to be blue or green can change, depending upon light conditions.

Their diet consists almost entirely of arthropods and fruits. Metallic-green Tanagers are usually found in pairs or small groups and often join flocks consisting of multiple tanager species.

There are two recognized subspecies of the Metallic-green Tanager (Storer 1970):

-labradorides Boissinneau 1840; type locality Santa-Fé de Bogota [Colombia]

Occurs in western and central Colombia and in western Ecuador (Storer 1970, Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).

-chaupensis Chapman 1925; type locality Chaupe, Cajamarca, Peru

Occurs in southeastern Ecuador and in northern Peru (Storer 1970, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001, Schulenberg et al. 2007).

DSC04946. Castillo Templario de Ponferrada. Declarado Monumento Nacional de Interés Histórico y Artístico in 1924, el castillo es el resultado de una larga serie de ampliaciones, reformas y adiciones que van desde el primero llevado a cabo cerca de la planta cuadrada a principios del siglo 12, hasta las últimas zonas construidas a finales de los siglos 15 y principios de los 16. Tan pronto como Ponferrada pasó a depender de la Orden del Temple en 1178, por el regalo de los Reyes de León, los caballeros templarios encontraron una pequeña fortaleza que en un principio actuó como un asentamiento celta. Los caballeros reforzaron y reconstruyeron el recinto amurallado con el fin de proteger y guardar el camino de los peregrinos de Santiago y defender la entrada a la zona noroeste de la península. El castillo alberga ahora la exposición permanente "Templum Libri" en libros y facsímiles. Esta es una de las mejores colecciones del mundo de su tipo.

Declared a National Monument of Historic and Artistic Interest in1924, the Castle is the result of a long series of enlargements, refurbishments and additions ranging from the first one carried out near the square ground plan in the early 12th century, up to the last areas built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. As soon as Ponferrada became dependent on the Order of the Temple in 1178, by gift of the Kings of León, the Templar knights found a small fortress that originally acted as a Celtic settlement. The knights reinforced and rebuilt the walled enclosure in order to protect and guard the Way of St. Jame’s pilgrims ad defend the entrance to the Northwest area of the peninsula. The rehabilitates palace suites host now the permanent exhibition “Templum Libri” on books and facsimiles, graphic cart and authors collections. This is one of the world’s best collections of its kind.

Leur couleur dépend du nombre de bulles d'air emprisonnées dans la glace. En effet, dès qu'un rayon de soleil entre dans une des bulles, une partie de la lumière est réfléchie. ... Une partie seulement de la lumière est alors réfléchie, en particulier les longueurs d'ondes bleues.

Parce qu’ils sont faits de glace pure, avec peu de bulles d’air ,la lumière blanche qui pénètre l’iceberg subit une absorption sélective selon les longueurs d’ondes qui la constituent. Les grandes longueurs d’ondes, comme le jaune et le rouge, sont absorbées en premier, les courtes comme le bleu subsistent plus longtemps. A 30 m de fond, dans la glace, seul le bleu n’est pas totalement absorbé. De plus, en rebondissant sur les molécules de glace, les ondes subissent un important phénomène de diffusion. Les fréquences du bleu semblent alors amplifiées. La fraction de lumière qui ressort, privée de ses radiations rouges, donne sa couleur bleue à l’iceberg. Les icebergs blancs, eux, sont formés par accumulation de neige. Leur glace contient beaucoup de bulles d’air. La lumière pénètre peu, car elle se réfléchit à leur surface. Après une infinité de réflexions, la lumière ressort sans avoir subi d’absorption. Conséquence : elle est toujours blanche.

Larra bicolor is a parasitoid wasp that was introduced to Florida from its native South America as a biological pest control of invasive mole crickets.

These wasps feed on nectar as adults. The females hunt mole crickets of the genus Scapteriscus, stinging them on the underside to paralize them for a few minutes. A single egg is laid between the first and second pairs of legs. The wasp flies off and the cricket returns to its burrow. Once hatched, the wasp larva feeds on its host, eventually killing it (12-30 days). It then forms a cocoon (Depending on temperature) in the remains of the cricket. In winter it may enter a diapause, delaying emergence for several months. Adults are solitary and neither form nests or colonies. They do not parasitize the native mole crickets.

When the light reaches the throat of the Brazilian Ruby Hummingbird (male), the green feathers change to golden or to ruby depending on the angle you are looking and the angle the of the light itself.

In these two photos you can see part of the transformation: golden in the first photo and light ruby (something more similar to orange) in the second photo. But I assure to you that the throat really changes to vibrant ruby tone depending of the light and movement of the bird too.

7 fun facts about hummingbirds

1- The indigenous gave very suggestive names to the hummingbirds, which perfectly described these charming birds:

For the "Caraíbas indians", they were the “colibris”, which means “resplendent area”.

The "Tupis" called them “guainumbis”, that is, “sparkling birds”.

For the "Guarani indians", on the other hand, hummingbirds were the “mainumbis”, that is, “those who enchant, next to the flower, with its light and splendor”.

2- Its huge heart, which represents 19 to 22% of the total body weight, facilitates the rapid circulation of blood.

3- In a single day, they are able to ingest nutritious substances up to 8 times their body weight.

4- Some hummingbirds develop average speeds ranging from 30 to 70 km per hour and the vibration of the wings can reach 50 to 70 beats per second.

5- They are the only birds that can literally stand still in the air, take off and land vertically, and even reverse in mid-flight.

6- The spectacular color of hummingbirds originates from the phenomenon of refraction of light, through the microstructure of the feathers. The color changes, observed in the same bird, vary according to the angle of incidence of sunlight or the movement of the body.

7- They say that Igor Sirkorski, who invented the helicopter, based his ideas on the continuous observation of the flight of hummingbirds. However, the helicopter cannot fly upside down. Hummingbirds can.

In the United States of America, we've created a situation already where too many people have had to work for a corporation in order to have health care. Even something simple as a broken bone can cost someone thousands of dollars out of pocket in this country. I've personally known colleagues who have literally worked until they dropped dead because, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to afford chemotherapy.

So, when corporations recently stepped up and said they would help pay for their employees to travel out of state for an abortion, the first impulse was to be "grateful that corporations were taking a stand," But, as in the corporations sponsoring the Pride parade, many of these corporations have supported anti-choice legislators. All this leads me to a few points....

1. Corporations won't save us. In most places in the world, profit is valued over people and even in countries outside the US where they have health care for all people, corporations have a very strong pull with the government and policy.

2. We should follow the money in terms of what corporations actually truly support and hold them accountable.

3. When you have to depend on a corporation for body autonomy, this is a very bad situation.

4. There will always be individuals in our country who are artists and do not work for a corporation. These are humans who should be celebrated not punished. If we want creative ideas and individual thought, we need to realize that body autonomy and health care should be provided to all citizens.
