This insect is sitting on a rose leaf in our Garden (south of Munich). It's ca. 2.5 cm long (without antenna). I would be glad, if you could give the correct ID. Thank you very much!
Eine Langfühlerschrecke (eine Zart- oder Säbelschrecke?) auf unserem Rosenbusch. Ca 2,5 cm (ohne Fühler) lang. Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand die genaue Art bestimmen könnte. Vielen Dank!
My Aunt Dorothy doesn't look as comfortable on this fake horse as my mother does in another picture. That is because she wasn't. Years before, she had a horse run off with her, and drag her under big tree limbs, etc. She was petrified of horses. Even though this wasn't real, I bet it brought up some bad memories for her. Can someone tell me where this fake horse was? Maybe Santa Monica Beach, California; maybe Houston or Galveston, Texas. I don't know.
This is dorothy Groves on the horse. she was my favorite Aunt, and she would be Anna Leigh's Second Great Grand Aunt. (mom&auntdotonfakehorse&arthurwithcamera3)

I did not know what this flower was called, so I listed it in ID Please. I have two heavyweights disagreeing below on the exact title of this flower, but they both agree on one word: Costus, which reminded me of the 15%+ tax the Canadians charged us at every step, LOL!

as a former physiotherapist. I cannot help speculating on just how thin the leg muscles must be, to fit within the delicate skinny legs of many varieties if insects and spiders.... anyone know ????
IDPlease for these insects too will be appreciated greatly !
Lorquin's admiral, Limenitis lorquini.
Green River Natural Resources Area, Kent, Washington State, June 24, 2017.
I have seen these greenish mushrooms, in late summer, now for the third year in a row....but I don't know what they are....despite the fact that green is an unusual colour here...and it does not seem to fit in the category of Parrot Waxcap, in my book ( not slimy at all)...spore print is quite light, but visible. These mushrooms are small, and fairly numerous, on the ground, where they occur....ID Please would be greatly appreciated!
First one.... on birch, seen today...with sparkling foggy dew not yet evaporated...
I think it is Ganoderma applanatum.
Some I don't know below....please help with the ID if you can...I'll be very thankful if you can !
I definitely need help with ID's on these 2 warblers. This one was high in the pines, and nothing distinct enough to help with an ID. For the warbler below that was high in the oak tree, it looks like a young Townsend Warbler, although they're not common in the east. That always brings a big question mark, but those face markings are pretty distinct, and I couldn't find any other warbler that looked similar.
OhioFoothills--September challenge is to enter the first photo uploaded on flickr, and a brief story on how you got started on flickr. I've posted mine in the group room, and also below. My friend, Doris (dailyville) got me interested in flickr, and I wanted to comment on one of her photos. Had to join to comment, which meant I should post a photo in case anyone clicked on my icon. I've been hooked ever since, and inspired by all the great talent I've seen. Thanks to all of you who have helped me along the way. The outing is Sunday afternoon (15th) 4 PM at Dogwood Pass. Info is in the OhioFoothills' discussions.
Not sure of the ID on this one.

This was about 1937, and not as good a picture as some of the others as far as quality, but I like the chair and the bear too.
Can someone identify if that is a Steiff Bear? The picture was most likely taken in Southern California.

Normally I have a strong dislike for chipped China dishes, etc. In this case I found a little piece of China sticking out in the dirt of the nearly 100 year old home that I used to have. As I brushed it off I thought I noticed a little hand, and then a face. I went inside to wash it with soap and water, and found not one, but two adorable little faeries. I wonder when during the last 100 years that it ended up out in the yard, and what pattern it might be? I wonder if someone in the family that lived there before me had a family argument and threw dishes out in the yard? The real piece is more faded than this. I used some saturation to bring out the color some.
I am a a very curious person. I could not leave this little piece with a little hand showing in the dirt. I felt compelled to dig it out and clean it off, and see what it was all about.
Even though it is broken, I treasure this little find.
By the way, the house is now 100 years old (written on January 25, 2010)

My parents, before I was born. I need to check; this may be a duplicate. I believe they were visiting Santa Monica, California. Anyone recognize some of the homes on the hills? This was between 1939 and 1945 ish.

I think this little butterfly spent last night on my window....and most of the morning too, until the rain began ( and as usual, I have no idea what species this one is.....)
In our dive at Stonington there were literally hundreds and hundreds of these fish surrounding us, feeding on the plankton in our light beams. They were also attracting the larger fish - bluefish, black sea bass and fluke among others. These fish were literally bouncing off of us, off our hoods (sounds like rain almost) off our hands, off our masks and inevitably off and in our rebreathers. At the end of the dive, ww found dozens of these 2" fish had found their way deep into our gear and came out in the rinse. We thingk these are this years young Alewifes, but I'm not sure, I have a hard time telling the various menhaden/shad apart, especially the young. This one's length is right at 1.75" long. Most of them were about the same length. If anyone can give me a positive ID I would really appreciate it!
Not sure this one is a wildflower...not in my book... I found only these two ...solid and spiky and small ( 1", or almost 2cm)
the next pair... also found near the water...and very tiny...and not in my Peterson book
and the last....beside the lake this evening....looking like Queen Anne's Lace...but not quite...with purple stems...and it IS in my book...Alexander's Angelica...and I am pretty sure !
If you can help with the other two...I'd be very pleased.
you can see wings. this is a signal that the larva is nearing the dragonfly stage.

in backyard frog pond. Genus unknown.
What is this? Growing on the surface of the soil (a professional grade potting mix) in two large concrete flower pots, in the southeastern United States. The pots are watered daily, and are in bright, filtered sun all day. A cool spring has given way to daily high temps of 99-101 degrees F.
I've never encountered this before! This stuff is growing in two of a set of 6 large pots that I've been planting for the last 4 or 5 years. It's covering the surface of the soil. The two affected pots get more sun than the other 4, if that helps... All of the plants in the affected pots look punier than the others - they're smaller and more yellow. Some of the plants are impatiens, so I could assume that they're just getting too much sun, but the showpiece plant in each pot is a large elephant ear (Xanthosoma), which normally THRIVE in these pots. The other four pots look fantastic, but these two just look pitiful. :(
I thought this boy looked similar to the photo stitched together with him. The boy who is not on a pony is named Gary, and was 5 1/2 years old in 1942. He has a sister named Cynthia who was 2 1/2 years old in 1942. He has on suspenders and a western style belt. I do not know his last name, but the picture was processed at Shewmakers Cameras in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1942. The boy on the pony could be him, or it could be another boy named Billie Ray, or it could be a boy named Earl SURBER, who grew up to marry Rosella "MASTERSON". I'd like some opinions.
Wish you all a magnific and happy day my friends. xoxoxo
@Excuse me if i didnt coment your last photo but im having net problems and im doing my best to coment them as much as i can. Hope you can understand.
@Thanks for your friendship,coments,faves and galeries.They are really apreciated :))
Please take a look View On Black for great details.It really worth it
just another butterfly shot when I went backroading with my friend Gail...still no idea what these butterflies are...I know they are not Admirals..anyone out there know?....got the name thanks to Ride n' Fast &Take n' Chances....thanks Karen!...(name in tags!)
This is Hobart Bosworth. At first I thought either Howard or Hobart, but I have been informed that it is Hobart. He looks like a Jimmy Stewart sort of person, actor? singer? what? This was in 1928. Can someone tell me more about him? If someone wants to try their hand at restoring this picture, I have a much, much bigger file I could e-mail to you. Another flickrite, below, was kind enough to inform me about him. He held many positions like producer, actor, writer I think, and lived a long life.

Anigozanthos (garden hybrids). Plants for acidic soils whose parents are from Australian origin.
The plants that are alternating with the "kangaroo paws" and that have similar ribbon-shaped leaves, are Agapanthus ("Nile lily", although they comes from Southern Africa and not from the Nile valley)

Thank you martinsanford for onece again helping me with the name of a flover!
In a neighbor's yard. Coreopsis? www.whiteflowerfarm.com/26798-product.html
The centers are different. The flower heads in my photo are a little more than
an inch across.
It was breezy.
ID please. East Central Indiana. Late June.
If this is a correct ID, they are another tickseed.
I picked this specimen up to photograph.
It withered and disappeared within a minute.
I washed my hands. :)
ID Please

June 18 Grassy open field.
They disappear in the evening.
all year long ( except when snow is on the ground ), I see these attractive little green growths....looking like miniature evergreen trees... and now appearing with seed cases (?)...I have no idea what this is called. I would very much appreciate some ID help...thank you !
Toasted Marshmallow Mushroom - A fun mushroom cropped up across the street this week, looking for all the world like a toasted marshmallow. This specimen is about 5" across! In the desert, you don't see these often but we've had tons of rain for 3 weeks.
We found this in the middle of our living room floor this morning, hidden behind a pair of shoes. Fortunately it was dead; a total lack of response to the fact that four of us had been thundering past it getting ready for the day suggested that, and a careful poke with a very long stick confirmed it.
It was about a foot (30cm) long.
We binned it.
I can guess how it got into the house. What we can't quite work out is whether the cats brought it in alive or if it was dead when they found it. And, if it's venomous, how they got away with it ...
Could we have an ID please? For those that aren't regulars here I'm in Wollongong, NSW, Australia.
I think I've seen at least seven different species of lichen or moss (see the notes)... it would be really great if you could help me with the IDs!

Is this a black widow? It was in the wheel well of the motorhome. I was on my way out to walk the dogs and when I returned it was gone. If it is, any suggestions on how to remove it? assuming it even shows again?
I found this a while ago and have no idea what it is - I think it may be some prayer counter or something. Has anyone seen one of these before?
This picture came in the same box of MASTERSON & SURBER pictures as the one of the little boy and girl, Cynthia & Gary. This one has only a handwritten date on the back, and it doesn't appear to be the same handwriting as the other one. So this is most likely Colorado, but could also have been Bellingham, Washington, or even in Hawaii, or anywhere. The clues are writing that says "Baby Herman and his Mama" and a date of July 30, 1950. One of the Masterson daughters grew up to become a Nun. She didn't have any children, but it would not surprise me if families that were friends through her church would have given her little pictures of their children. So these children do not necesarily have the last name of Masterson or Surber.
Don't know what kind of fly this is. He's colored like a bluebottle fly but much smaller. Perhaps half a centimeter in length. Seen in Barrett Park, Leominster, MA, USA.
EDIT: One of the kind members of the ID Please group (urtica) identified this as a member of the Long-legged Fly family, (Dolichopodidae).
At first I though these two fungi...( Close together,one on a stump, the other wrapped around a dead branch on the ground) had to be Red-Banded Polypore...Fomitopsis pinicola...but it is definitely a stalked fungus...not bracket-formed, light and smooth underneath, shiny on top, and it lacks a light-coloured border...so it's not...and it does not closely match any of the descriptions in my book. Help would be greatly appreciated !

(since we started tracking this statistic on April 19, 2006)
Found in an open field in the flood plains of the Ohio river near Uniontown, Kentucky, located in Union County in Western Kentucky,,,,,
Echinacea purpurea (Eastern purple coneflower; syn. Brauneria purpurea (L.) Britt., Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench var. arkansana Steyermark, Rudbeckia purpurea L.) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Echinacea.[1] Recognizable by its purple cone-shaped flowers, it is native to eastern North America[1] and present to some extent in the wild in much of the eastern, southeastern and midwest United States.[2] and often known as the purple coneflower.
Echinacea purpurea is an ornamental plant. It is very poplular as a garden plant in North America.[citation needed]
This perennial flower is 1.2m tall and 0.5m wide at maturity. Depending on the climate, it begins to bloom in late May or early July, before losing its flowers in August.[citation needed] Its flowers are hermaphroditic, having both male and female organs on each flower. It is pollinated by insects.[1] Its habitats include dry open woods, prairies and barrens, as well as cultivated beds. Although the plant prefers loamy or sandy, well-drained soils, it is little affected by the soil's ph. Unable to grow in the shade, Echinacea purpurea thrives in either dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought, once established.
[edit]Propagation
In order to facilitate germination of this flower's seeds, they should be sown in early spring in a greenhouse and barely covered with soil. Daily temperature changes are also effective in helping them sprout. With an average temperature of 25°c, the seeds will usually germinate in 10-21 days. Once the seedlings have grown large enough to be safely handled, it is recommended that they be potted individually and allowed to spend their first summer in the greenhouse. They should be planted the following spring or summer; at this point it is important to protect them from slugs. Clumps of echinacea purpurea can be divided, or broken into smaller bunches in the spring or autumn, for replanting. While large clumps may be planted directly, smaller ones require more care. These should be planted in pots which are to be placed into a cold frame until they take root. These potted clumps should then be planted in the spring.[1]

I had troubles IDing this duck. Googling "black duck" got me all sorts of ducks, but none of them were black... very funny... but the ID Please group once again came to the rescue. Thanks for the ID www.flickr.com/photos/primevalnature/.
Anyway... I am on my way to St. Augustine and will be at the Alligator Farm tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday. I dunno if the hotel I am staying at has internet (or how much time I'll actually have to be on the computer), so I'll probably see y'all Sunday when I get back. Have a nice weekend!
This is only the 2d time I've ever seen this plant. I'm familiar with it only in passing. I think it's some type of evergreen, though I am not certain in the least. It produces an unusual flower - shaped like a small ball, and only slighty smaller than a golf ball - and can withstand freezing temperatures. The leaves are thick and leathery in texture & consistency, and the plant with which I'm most familiar is at least 5 feet tall (152cm).
Excitement in the flower box this morning...a very small.... beetle ? ..smaller than a lady bug... and quite pretty. This photo only shows one antenna..but there are two in another photo ( not posted)
Lavender and white flower, against the sky, with others in the background.
An ID Please group member ( www.flickr.com/groups/idplease/ ) has identified this as a species of Lavatera, common name tree mallow.
From Hilton Head Park in Eastern San Diego County, California.
Larger sizes are also clear.
Very small, perhaps 3 to 4mm and with an Athanas sp. tail. Pinkish with yellow feelers it seems. Hard to spot with the naked eye.
Does anyone know the ID of this blooming plant? I got it at Fry's Supermarket a few days ago. This was taken with a diffuser on my 430 EXII Speedlight early in the morning when the light comes through the window just right. See the other two images for more handheld experiments in low light. The next photo is my favorite of the group.
