The Map Butterfly (Araschnia levana) is so named because the wings of its spring generation are marked a bit like a road map. However, this butterfly is famous for having a highly dissimilar summer generation, which has largely black wings with a single white band across. The summer generation resembles a tiny White Admiral more than it resembles its orange map-winged spring generation. It is quite common in Continental Europe but is absent from Britain. It was introduced to both Monmouthshire and Herefordshire in 1912 but only lasted a couple of years. A number were seen in Dorset in 2014 but it seems generally agreed that these too were introduced rather than genuine natural colonists. They are cousins of the Red Admiral but much, much smaller. But their caterpillars similarly feed on nettles. I photographed this spring brood male in Estonia where they seemed to be quite common.
Its scientific name Araschnia also describes the reticulate wing pattern of the spring brood. It comes from the Greek word "arakhnion" for spider's web. Levana was an obscure Roman goddess.

I have to make this public in order to use it for a group. Please pay no attention to this.
Edit: This needs to remain public I suppose, so you might as well pay attention to it. :P
Anyway, this is just a map I drew awhile ago (not the background though, that's edited) I'm using it as a background for a WIP group. And I suppose it needs to remain public to work, so yeah, here it is.
20 stores left.

An oldie from the map collection. 3 of the 5 streets I've lived on aren't on this. This is also before the GM Fisher Body building boom that occurred in the late 1950s.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. BBN is the random scatter of green in the middle (early ARPANET). Sprint is the organized star topology in purple near the top. AOL is a gray disconnected island in the lower center. There is little correlation between this network connectivity graph and physical geography, except for a clustering of Pac Rim connectivity.
Here is a gallery of Internet maps by Ches of Lumeta, and Ben below provides a link to a huge map with labels.
This technique can also see the network “lights go out” during wartime bombing raids.
In a nutshell, they use a modified hacker trick of sending a storm of IP packets out randomly across the network. Each packet is programmed to self-destruct after a delay, and when this happens, the packet failure notice reports back the path the packet took before it died. To visualize this sea of data, Ches applied place & route software from the semiconductor CAD industry to untangle the hairball of data and spread it out in a 2D map that humans can easily absorb. In these maps, one can see security gaps and unknown network connections. (disclosure: we invested them when they spun out of Bell Labs)

In the past I've posted about some experiments I had done with Flickr Commons images on Google Earth and the Layar mobile phone Augmented Reality browser - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/2011/12/mapping-flickr-commons
I have recently also got a web version up and running using OpenStreetMap and whilst it's not quite as slick as I'd like it top be I thought I'd throw it out to you to get some feedback - see www.whatsthatpicture.com/flickr/commons-map.php
Note that for performance reasons it will only show 250 images at a time, but you'll always see at the bottom the total number of Commons images there are in the region displayed. To see more just zoom in and pan around. If you want a good region to try it out in I'd suggest heading to Ireland, as shown in the above screen capture!

It wouldn't fit nicely in the scanner, so I've had to crop a little on all three to include the most of mainland UK.

Map of Tuscany showing (among other cities) Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena and Florence. The map is painted on a wall in the small town San Miniato. And, let's be honest, they kinda exaggerated the size of their own town :-)
NL:
Kaart van Toscane met daarop (onder andere) de steden Pisa, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Siena en Florence. De kaart is op een oude muur geschilderd in het plaatsje San Miniatio. En, laten we eerlijk zijn, de inwoners van San Miniatio hebben de grootte van hun eigen stadje lichtelijk overdreven :-)
