African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)
Only the second time I have seen one of these. The first being in January last year.
I add the description that I got at that time.
This is a recently introduced exotic African carder bee, (Pseudoanthidium repetitum). It differs from the native Megachile bees in that the white bands across the abdomen are coloured cuticle rather than coloured hair as found in native bees. The common name carder comes from the way females construct a brood cell. Some native Megachile bees use cut leaves to build a cell while others gather plant resin. This bee scrapes or carders plant fibres from the leaves of a few plant families and makes a cotton wool like brood cell. First found in Australia in 2000 in Brisbane and was recorded in Perth in 2020. These bees often nest in human made boxes (especially fuse boxes) so get transported easily by us. An interesting bee to have in your garden.
E' solo una nuvola di moscerini, nati dai fanghi dei bassi fondali lagunari. Una foto difficile, che riscuoterà pochi consensi. Eppure l'importanza ecologica di questi minuscoli organismi è notevole. Senza di loro rimarrebbero senza cibo rondini, balestrucci, beccamoschini, cannaiole e moltri altri piccoli predatori. Benvenuti mescerini, allora ..... ..

Quite pretty flowers although this is an imported weed.

The first of these I have seen this season.
These were first sighted in Australia in 2000. My first sighting was in 2022.
I am having tech problems today, hopefully I can upload these images and I will catch up when I can - it may be tomorrow.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Bristol Airport’s WX19 LYC is seen leaving the Staff Transport Hub working a Staff Shuttle. This vehicle was formerly with SBS Transit as SG4004B and recently imported to the UK. One of very few (if not the only) Citaro Hybrid in the UK currently.
Yay, an upload! :D
I got my MRU order today and I'm so-so with it. I'll most likely trade/sell my dot44 guy so offer?
I know the German has the wrong pouches...
Inspired by Lincoln.
Also, I'm having trouble with my E8 tank and need a BL order so, yup. :P

Great Barrington, MA, is the home of a huge store that imports all manner of wood carvings and art from Asia. I loved a lot of items - but these carved wooden fish were the only thing I could afford!
A huge container ship sails under the bridge from Savannah, Georgia into South Carolina, as it prepares to unload its cargo imported from the far east.

Perhaps a common combination in 1990s Romania but certainly not in the UK in 2018. The Field of Dreams currently contains another obscure Romanian-built car in the form of an Oltcit so the opportunity to photograph it with the Mighty Dacia couldn't be missed. Sadly it has suffered an engine fire but its owner hopes it will be repaired one day,

These creatures are called “Lantern Flies” They are an import from our friends in China. They destroy a number of tree species, grape vines, and some other assorted plants. The county I live in has the dubious distinction of being the very first place they were discovered several years ago. They are prolific breeders, will not be eaten by birds or other insects, and have spread to a number of other locations including some states. And there isn’t a tariff on importing them.
