At first I thought this was a Black and Red Blister Beetle, but I'm not so sure because of its hairy head. Perhaps one of you with more bug experience will be able to help ID. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and weekend!

Meaning of first name Rose :
"Saint Rose was a young Spaniard, born in 1586 in Peru and who made her family home a kind of Dominican convent. She had mystical gifts. She is the patroness of Latin America and the Philippines.
The Roses, whose first name comes from the Latin rosa, know how to use their charm and rebound with liveliness. They also know how to be eloquent. Main asset of these women: dynamism."

Mein Name ist Aarany.....
My name is Aarany.....
I'm sad
you want to know my name ?
I wonder why
you will go home and maybe
remember me
but not for my name
but for the look in my eye
if you look you will see
a sadness that
overcomes me
each day is the same
come rain or shine
you all come and stare
point fingers at me
some shout
I hear you
but do you hear me ?
my name is Aarany.....
what does it mean . . .
what does it matter
as you walk away
you mutter Arary . . .

Scientific name: Onychoprion anaethetus
Trinomial name: Onychoprion anaethetus melanopterus
Ssp name: O. a. melanopterus
Common name: Bridled tern
Nombre: Charrán monja, Charrán embriado
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
As per Wikipedia:
The bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is a seabird of the family Laridae. It is a bird of the tropical oceans. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. The genus comes from onux meaning "claw" or "nail", and prion, meaning "saw". The specific anaethetus means "senseless, stupid".
This species breeds in colonies on rocky islands. It nests in a ground scrape or hole and lays one egg. It feeds by plunge-diving for fish in marine environments, but will also pick from the surface like the black tern and the gull-billed tern. It usually dives directly, and not from the "stepped-hover" favoured by the Arctic tern.
The Latin name for the tiger is ‘Panthera tigris‘. They can live up to 26 years in captivity and in the wild. Tigers prefer to inhabit forests, grasslands and mangrove swamps. There are six distinctive tigers: Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, Siberian, South China and Sumatran. White tigers are caused by recessive genes and inbreeding. There are as few as 30 Golden Tigers in captivity. There are three extinct breeds: Bali, Caspian and Javan. They can measure up to 11ft, including tail.
They can weigh up to 670lbs. The stripes that a tiger has are as unique as human fingerprints. Tigers are generally solitary creatures, but are seen as highly social able.
(Culicicapa ceylonensis)
Di Linh
Vietname
This charming little bird, despite its name, it is not actually a canary or a true flycatcher. It was long classified as a member of the Old World Flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. However, recent genetic analyses have revealed that it actually belongs to a distinct family, Stenostiridae.

The name Alblasserdam is derived from its location near the creek Alblas where a dam was built. Inhabitants of Alblasserdam are called Alblasserdammers (singular: Alblasserdammer).
The town of Alblasserdam was first mentioned in the chronicles of Melis Stoke in 1299, but the municipality wasn't formed until 1447. Before that, it was part of Oud-Alblas.
Because of its location on the Noord river, one of the busiest waterways in Western Europe, water has played a major role in Alblasserdam's history. The river was important for its development and makes it an advantageous location for industry. Alblasserdam's strategic location also brought it negative consequences. For example, between 1350 and 1821, the Alblasserwaard polder flooded 32 times.
Scientific name: Mellisuga minima
Common name: Vervain hummingbird
Nombre: Zumbadorcito, Zumbador verbena, Zumbaflor
Lugar de la captura: República Dominicana
According to Wikipedia: Mellisuga is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae. They are notable for being the first and second smallest bird species in the world.
The genus was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the vervain hummingbird as the type species.[ The name Mellisuga is a combination of the Latin words mel or mellis, meaning "honey" and sugere, meaning "to suck".
The name is kind of long, but it was worth researching. I love this plant. The actual flower is tiny, part of a cluster.

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles can also occur all over the plant – on the stem and on the flat parts of the leaves. These prickles are an adaptation that protects the plant from being eaten by herbivores. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape similar to a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads. The comparative amount of spininess varies dramatically by species. For example, Cirsium heterophyllum has minimal spininess while Cirsium spinosissimum is the opposite. Typically, species adapted to dry environments have greater spininess. The term thistle is sometimes taken to mean precisely those plants in the tribe Cardueae (synonym: Cynareae), especially the genera Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum. However, plants outside this tribe are sometimes called thistles, and when this is done, "thistles" would form a polyphyletic group. A thistle is the floral emblem of Scotland and Lorraine, as well as the emblem of the Encyclopædia Britannica. Biennial thistles are particularly noteworthy for their high wildlife value, producing such things as copious floral resources for pollinators, nourishing seeds for birds like the goldfinch, foliage for butterfly larvae, and down for the lining of birds' nests. 12710

"MY NAME IS..."
This is a revised experiment done several years ago by using 13 of my abstract works and manipulating them into letters on Photoshop to make my name.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
This is Phil (named after the late actor Phil Hartman) He and Philomena (female red-bellied woodpecker) are rarely in the yard at the same time but since the I have been placing peanuts in a few areas of the yard I have seen them here at the same time. I don't know if they are a couple, they don't seem to get along very well. The little Downy woodpecker that visits has also discovered the nuts and is visiting more frequently. I am a bit surprised but I have not seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker for several months. That does not necessarily mean they are not visiting, perhaps they are and I just have not seen them. Last year I saw as many as six sapsuckers in the yard at once.
Name : Derived from the Greek word for harmony, balanced or ordered universe, it represents peace or peaceful insight
Have a lovely day

Scientific name: Buteo buteo.
Feeding: Buzzards are big birds, more than capable of taking sizeable birds and animals but, more often than not, they will target smaller prey. Rabbits are an important food source, and the birds suffered during the height of myxomatosis, but they will also take smaller mammals. Compared to all other raptors, Buzzard’s digestive systems are able to deal with a poor-quality diet and, in winter when other prey is hard to find, they are able to feed mostly on earthworms, beetles and other small invertebrates. These will be hunted on foot, and you can find Buzzards regularly sitting on the ground. In favoured fields, large numbers can gather and, although somewhat tolerant of each other, disagreements will break out if individuals get too close to others. In certain areas, usually in the uplands, Buzzards may hover when searching for food. Info: Hawk and Owl Trust.

The appropriately named Steep Bank Creek originates in Oyster Creek more than 3 miles north as the Great Blue Heron flies, wends it way west, then east, passing by my subdivision 1 mile to the north where it drains Double Lake during heavy rains. It then flows on to Riverstone Wetlands where this photo was taken, then south for 4 more miles as that Heron flies where it joins the Brazos River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the optimistic scenario, of course. Speaking of that Great Blue Heron, here it is in Steep Bank Creek, Sugar Land, Texas.
I took this shot with and without the flash. I loved it without the flash! It seemed very...well...elegant! :) I used a crosshatch stroke and nothing else so viewed in original size you can see it. Very subtle but again...elegant. Have a blessed day!

My mum named me after the heroine of this book as well as Lady Emma Hamilton (mistress of Lord Nelson) and Emma Peel from the iconic 60s tv show The Avengers. Much as I love Jane Austen, I always thought the last one was by far the coolest :)
Scientific name: Turdus philomelos.
Famous for smashing open snails and for the sweet song which gives this bird its name. The song thrush was once a common sight in UK woodland, but is sadly in decline. Info: Woodland Trust.

The Slaty Headed parakeet derives its name from the Slate colored head. Its found "primarily" in the Himalayan belt and a very small region in Pakistan.
The birds were quite loud in their calls and very social. They were having fun chasing each other and playing. And then in a large group would land on a common berry tree - small ones maybe a few mm in diameter, but taste very sweet. The entire flock was there for a while and it was fun watching them in action.
Thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Have we played this game before? I went back to my favorite abandoned car lot the other day and lo and behold something new has been moved in. It looks a bit like a Saab to me, but I am not that knowledgeable about cars. This car was a hideous lime green at one time, but was repainted white. It must have been done at an Earl Scheib Paint Shop, because it didn’t take.
Anyway, who will be the first to name the make? Extra bonus points are awarded for the year.
