amidst the vibrant pulse of aix-en-provence, he strides, a solitary figure in motion against the static backdrop of a city in repose. the cap, a tribute to a team, speaks of loyalty in transient times. his gaze, fixed on the unseen horizon of his smartphone screen, narrates a story of connected disconnection. the urban tapestry, a mélange of shutters and vibrant hues, frames him in a portrait of modern intent. there's a rhythmic cadence to his step, a quiet defiance against the stillness that surrounds him.
This is the first good mech i've built, I really like how it turned out. What do you guys think.
If you fav please comment.
Jungle Striders are agile Creatures with stilted legs. They are common all throughout the Region of Jungle, and although they are generally hostile, they are not very good fighters, and are quick to retreat from their foes.

I liked the light that was streaming through the slats in the art installation. I was lucky that this guy strode through with his red bag.
Tenagogerris euphrosyne
Family: Gerridae
Order: Hemiptera
The striders are hemipterans or "true-bugs" - insects that feed by piercing and sucking food through the proboscis.
The striders walk on water, thanks to hydrophobic hairs on the legs. The hairs extend across the whole body too, making the insect able to repel splashes of water. They are so successful in their niche, that the strider family, the Gerridae, are widespread with some 1700 species described, 10% of which are marine.
The Gerridae are polymorphic in that they can have wings in one generation, when there might be a need to relocate to a new water body. The next generation may not have wings however, if the current environment is stable.

New artwork for the ‘Stride’ single off the new ‘The Garden Series, Vol. 2: Picked’ album which streams on all music platforms via the profile.
Water striders use the surface tension of water to keep their whole body above the water surface. They have long legs with tiny hydrophobic hairs to distribute their weight. The image shows the depression on the water surface due to the strider's weight.
Water striders are very quick and are able to move faster than 1 meter per second. The middle legs provide the forward thrust, the hind legs are used for steering. The front legs are sensors for the ripples in the water caused by struggling insects. Spiders or insects accidentally falling into the water form the main prey of water striders.
I was lucky enough to have this printed half page in last week's Telegraph. A cracking day out with the ice axes and crampons, although a struggle carrying all my camera kit too. It has to be done though.
