In nature, American cockroaches are decomposers that feed on decaying organic material. Here is an adult female (note the egg case) and a nymph feeding on a rat carcass. For more information: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/whats_bugging_you/cockroaches/defa...
Tarps, used to protect items from the environment, can become environmental hazards themselves when rain-filled pockets provide mosquito habitat. Fight the bite, dump the water!

Prickly lettuce, milk thistle or compass plant is naturalized in the Northeast. It is a close relative of edible lettuces Latuca sativa), edible but bitter, and grows to over 4 feet in height with small yellow aster-like flowers at the top. turfweeds.cals.cornell.edu/plant/identify/168
This is neither dust nor smoke from a fire. Rather some poor family's house is getting fumigated. Fumigation is mandatory in Cuba. Every house, apartment, office and place of work gets regularly fumigated. Official show up with ghost-busters-like machines and the the dwellings and fill it with white smoke until it's escaping through every crack.
We've had the displeasure of being guests and spending a the night in a couple of home that have recently been fumigated. The smell is unpleasant and, I suspect, not good for you. But hey, anything to fight the enemy, dengue fever, in this case.

Here is a white footed mouse that isn't the typical small size and gray color. Killed by a house cat in the New York suburbs, it can still be a host for ticks and may even carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease.

Yellow sac spiders are a common indoor species. They are active hunters, but spend much of their time in silken retreats that they make in cracks, crevices and corners.

Sketchbook idea for the effects of deforestation.
Notes. Deforestation subjects the soil to the sun wind and precipitation and allows erosion to occur. Silt washed from hill sides will usually settle in rivers or other places it is not really wanted. This also leads to increased use of engineering to control soil erosion, flooding, silting etc...
Dry compacted ground (few tree roots) does not hold water well and so spring melts and precipitation wash away soil. In drier areas this may lead to desertification.
too much free flowing water is also harmful as it can carries agricultural runoff or roadway runoff both which are very dirty and polluting. Open sunny land also is suscueptible to to weeds and invasive species. A strategy to deal with invasives like Japanese Knotweed is to suppress them long enough to allow trees to grow and shade them out. Planted ornamental or single species of trees are susceptible to infection and weather. These trees are artificially grown and as a result are not as hardy as ones that had to compete with the others to survive.
Soil is not nutrified by the leaves and tree debris. No habitat is provided for wildlife. Lack of trees means less carbon in storage.
With agriculture the conditions are perfect for invasives and pest. As a result pesticides and herbicides are applied in a large amounts to control them. Fertilizers to feed the crops also feed the weeds. Much o f this material is washed off and into water bodies where it causes algae blooms and deoxygenation of water bodies leading to loss of habitat for larger species.

Carpenter bee females create galleries or tunnels in dry wood during the spring. Bees bore into the wood, then turn 90 degrees to tunnel along the grain.

These insects are ectoparasites of Norway rats, and are vectors of disease such as murine typhus, plague and Bartonella. For more information: www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/03/disease-carrying-fle...
Pests need three things to survive: food, water and shelter. This drain might provide shelter and water. For more information on raccoons: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/publications/beasts/default.asp
The Asian Longhorned Beetle is an invasive insect that was likely introduced to the US from Asia in wooden shipping crates. A new infestation of Asian Longhorned Beetle was found on Long Island in 2014. These specimens are being used for education to teach citizens about the signs of ALB infestation for early detection and rapid response. For more information: asianlonghornedbeetle.com/

Walkway along the pleasant green space between Broad Lane and Ashmount Road, N15. Most of the time it's reasonably well looked after by Haringey Parks Service.
Though not on 27 September 2007. I reported the litter and rats I saw in the bushes.

This evening I walked past the same spot near Broad Lane N15, which I photographed on 27 September. Unfortunately the same litter-bin was again overflowing - and with an even larger pile spilled on the ground around it.
Passers-by are trying to dispose of their litter in a responsible way - using the bin. There's just too much of it. Which is not really surprising. This is one of the main routes serving the transport hub of Seven Sisters.
Can we see which bins near Seven Sisters Station get filled to overflowing? Then provide more bins or empty existing bins more frequently? I realise there's a cost involved. But so is there when the street cleaner has to sweep-up mess. Meanwhile, discarded waste feeds the rats nearby.

Female praying mantis' create an egg case or ootheca in the fall that they deposit on woody foliage. In the spring, when temperatures are warm, dozens of praying mantis nymphs emerge from the egg case and look for food. Though originally hatched indoors, these insects were released outdoors on a warm, sunny day.

Baldfaced hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) are actually large yellowjackets. They are important natural predators, but can pose a health risk when found near human activity. Early-season scouting and removal of small nests can prevent problems with large hornet populations later in the year. This is the best way to protect yourself and others around your home, school or office from painful and/or dangerous stings.

Seen in Fowler, Indiana, this unusual car is a VW Bug based kit car. One of 6000 made between 1971 and 1981. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Automotive Thanks to another flickrite Dave_7 for the information posted on another members picture if this interesting car. I first saw this car, where it is, in Fowler, IN, ohhh maybe a year ago. On that day it was covered in snow and it was too dark. I made a mental note to try again another day. So, when I was in the area today, I searched this car out again, to get the pictures here.
