Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera
L'ape legnaiola (Xylocopa violacea Linnaeus, 1758) è un insetto dalla livrea nero-viola cangiante, appartenente alla famiglia degli Apidae, diffusa nell'Europa centro-meridionale, spesso erroneamente identificata col nome di calabrone.
Descrizione
È un'ape solitaria lunga di 2,5-3 cm (dal capo all'addome), dal volo rapido e piuttosto rumoroso.
Il corpo è di colore nero con riflessi violacei, pubescente.(Questa ha la pelliccia gialla a differenza di quella descritta! n.d.r.) Le ali sono di colore viola cangiante.
Distribuzione e habitat
Europa centro-meridionale.
Biologia
È uno dei primi imenotteri che compare subito dopo l'inverno, lo aiutano a entrare in attività così presto la pubescenza e anche il colore nero. Si nutre di nettare e polline raccolto prevalentemente su fiori delle Lamiaceae.
La femmina ovidepone nel legno tenero (marcescente o meno) in cui scava cellette separate da diaframmi, ogni celletta ospiterà un singolo uovo e una riserva di polline. Dall'abitudine di scavare nel legno deriva il nome del genere (dal greco xylos = legno e kopto = tagliare).

Playing around with collage application in Picasa tonight, came up with these images from my own photos.
went on a walk on a bird of prey conservation centre, spotted this giant sized insect on the chicken wire on one of the enclosures
Southern hawker dragon fly larva - several of these larvae were in the emergence phase of their lifecycle. They had climbed out of the water and up the iris leaves. This photo shows the empty case (exuvia) after the dragon fly has emerged.. They have spent about 2 years in the pond during this phase. The larva is about one and a half inches long and quite a ferocious predator in the pond. The adults are really quite stunning and I have seen several both male and female flying about. Not managed to get a shot yet of the adults .

I went to Indonesia with my family and some friends of the family for 3 weeks. I'll be posting some of the drawings I did there. We spent the first 3 nights of the trip in 4 boats, going down a river in Tanjung Puting National Park and stop to visit villages and the Orangutans. This is a drawing I did of an insect I found on the boat.

Lang's insects at the Fitchburg art museum. These were made when he was starting insects, and you can tell how these creations don't compare to his modern ones! Still amazing nonetheless.
