Description: To differentiate an Aspisoma hesperum from an Aspisoma lineatum, one would need a dichotomous key; however, due to the geographical location, it is possible to speculate the identity with a certain confidence, even if not absolute. They are mostly diurnal and are seen visiting flowers and plants in general. Given their foul smell, birds do not predate them as they are equally unpallatable; some insects do not seem to care, though. As larvae, they are vicious predators of snails. The feeding habits of the adult, - or lack of - , after thorough research, were uncertain. Some sources claimed they did feed on some flowers, while others claimed that they were seen regularly visiting Passiflora and others said they don't feed at all. The reliability of these studies are unknown to me, and may be doubtful. The larvae of Aspisoma are vicious predators of snails, setting themselves in an important step in the food chain. More than one larva can feed on the same snail at the same time. The Aspisoma fireflies belong in the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Elateriformia, superfamily Elateroidea, family Lampyridae, subfamily Lampyrinae and, doubtfully, in the tribe Cratomorphini, but might be disassembled later into the tribe Lampyrini.
Feeding type: Larvae are predators. The adult's feeding habits are arguable, as they have been quoted in studies in a variety of situations: from not eating at all, to eating flowers and as habitual visitors to Passiflora and perhaps other plants. The reliability of these studies may be doubtful. It is known that many species of adult Lampyrids do not feed at all, but due to this great divergence in information, the feeding habits of the adult of Aspisoma are unknown to me.

This year I'll be taking the Japanese Languange Proficiency Test (JLPT or Noken) for level 2 (or 2-kyû, which is the second most advanced level), so I've been studying since January.
The exam is in December, though XD
Well, it's not that I have been studying really hard 'cause I still have a lot of time, so it's been a really relaxed but constant study so far. That doesn't mean I will stop studying during summer holidays, though!
In this pic you can see my "friends" when preparing the exam.
I wish Momohime could speak and teach me Japanese, haha
Mönckebergstraße, Hamburg. Germany.
I haven't focused on these kind of shots in a long time, so I grabbed my old trusty E-5 and 12-60mm and went hunting for bicycles again.
finally had a day where it was not 106 heat index.
so...found a spot on picnic table...and put together a few forms to cement...hopefully soon.

taken in Zimone - Piedmont - Italy
The funny thing about this shot is that I went to the parking of a cemetery, searching for a shooting spot for the Viverone lake landscape. But in the end the vineyard near the cemetery, are much better than the lake landscapes.
In vino veritas ;-)
Folded from 15x7.5 cm kraft paper.
32x16 box pleat with the bottom square of the paper divided in thirds for the roots.
Quick value study sketch. I think this may become one of my next watercolors. This was a bright, sunny day and the shapes of these barns creates a scene that caught my eye immediately.
Hopefully coming soon . . .
Hello,
Attached are the photos from my minimester study abroad.

I hope that everyone realizes that the middle photo has been squashed and my thighs aren't really that fat nor my feet that long! The two end photo are unaltered. And yes, my calfs really are that big. That's from years of racewalking.
Utrecht University Library. Two years since I last visited it, it still is a great place for studying and working.
