Taken along the boardwalk of Webb's Mill Bog.
Having surveyed the general scene in the first photo of this series, it's time to take a closer look at some of this site's amazing residents. Here's one particular clump of vegetation growing in the bog's acidic substrate. Two different herbaceous species are in full bloom. Both are ruthless killers.
The larger, red-and-yellow inflorescence belongs to a fine specimen of Sarracenia purpurea, the Purple Pitcher Plant. It also has some lower, maroon-veined leaves poking out of the undergrowth. These are remarkable, flagon-shaped adaptations to this nutrient-starved habitat. Once filled with rainwater, they attract, drown, partially digest insects and other small creatures that venture in.
Ringing the Pitcher Plant and growing directly out of the muck is quite a little colony of Utricularia cornuta, the Horned Bladderwort. Its cheerful canary-yellow flowers sport projecting spurs. Down below, in their root systems, these plants have bladders with an almost unbelievable hair-trigger mechanism that trap tiny animals swimming about in the waterlogged soil.

Frequently forms large clumps on surface substrate of moist rocks, or limestone slopes. Will also attach to bare granite at the tops of cliffs, under waterfalls. Endemic to Brazil.

Dolichovespula sylvestris (Avispa arbórea)
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Mandibulata
Clase: Insecta
Subclase: Holometabola
Orden: Hymenoptera
Suborden: Apocrita
Infraorden: Aculeata
Superfamilia: Vespoidea
Familia: Vespidae
Subfamilia: Vespinae
Spanish:
Las avispas Vespula germánica son insectos sociales y organizados. Presentan en su nido una reina, encargada de la reproducción; obreras que son responsables de alimentar las larvas, y machos que aparecen a fines del verano y cuya única función es fecundar a las nuevas reinas que invernarán hasta la próxima primavera. La colonia alcanza su máximo tamaño a fines del verano, época en la cual las obreras buscan alimento rico en proteínas para alimentar a los futuros machos y reinas.
La reina de la avispa chaqueta amarilla carnívora tiene un tamaño de 1 a 2 centímetros, con el abdomen abultado, poca cintura, antenas negras y sólo se verá volar a inicios de primavera. Las obreras son las de menor tamaño y los machos el tamaño intermedio.
Los nidos en general son subterráneos o aéreos, siempre en cavidades preformadas.
El radio de acción de las obreras de vespula germanica es de unos 300 metros del nido.
Puede consumir cualquier alimento: polen, fruta, carne, otros insectos. También puede atacar al hombre y animales como vacas, perros, gallinas y aves.
Vespula germanica desarrolla sus nidos dentro de cavidades preformadas tanto en el suelo como en el aire, en cambio Polistes spp desarrolla sus nidos en altura al aire libre, generalmente bajo aleros o techos o en árboles y con un solo panal .
Morfologicamente lo mas diferenciador es la apariencia mas estilizada de las avispas del genero Polistes, respecto a la chaqueta amarilla carnivora, es decir patas mas largas y abdomen mas marcado.
English:
The German wasp, Vespula germanica is a wasp found in much of the Northern Hemisphere, and introduced to Australia and New Zealand. German wasps are part of the Vespidae family and sometimes mistakenly referred to as a paper wasp because it builds a grey paper nest, although strictly speaking Paper wasps are part of the Polistinae subfamily. It is more commonly known in North America as a yellowjacket.
The German wasp is about ½ inch (13 mm) long, and has typical wasp colours of black and yellow. It is very similar to the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris), but seen head on, its face has three tiny black dots, thought to be horizon detectors. German wasps also have black dots on their abdomen, while the common wasp's analogous markings are conjoint with the black rings above them, forming a different pattern.
The nest is made from chewed plant fibres, mixed with saliva. They are generally found close to or in the ground, rather than higher up on bushes and trees like hornets. It has open cells and a petiole attaching the nest to the substrate. The wasps produce a chemical which repels ants and secrete it around the base of this petiole in order to avoid ant predation.
A solitary female queen starts the nest, building 20-30 cells before initial egg-laying. This phase begins in spring, depending on climatic conditions. She fashions a petiole and produce a single cell at the end of it. Six further cells are then added around this to produce the characteristic hexagonal shape of the nest cells.
Once the larvae have hatched as workers, they take up most of the colony’s foraging, brood care and nest maintenance. A finished nest may be 20-30 cm across and contain 3,000 individuals.
Each wasp colony includes one queen and a number of sterile workers. Colonies usually last only one year, all but the queen dying at the onset of winter. However, in mild climates such as New Zealand, around 10% of the colonies survive the winter. New queens and males (drones) are produced towards the end of the summer, and after mating, the queen overwinters in a crack or other sheltered location.
This common and widespread wasp collects insects including caterpillars to feed to its larvae, and is therefore generally beneficial (unless you are a caterpillar). The adults feed on nectar and sweet fruit, and are also attracted to human food and food waste, particularly sodas and meats.
The nests are subject to predation by the Honey Buzzard, which excavates them to obtain the larva. The hoverfly Volucella pellucens and some of its relatives lay their eggs in the wasp nest, and the larva feeds on the wasp’s young.
Thick film circuits are built on ceramic substrates and are a mix of surface mount components and printed resistors. This circuit, somewhat ironically, is part of an Argus 1 thermal imager.

Nepenthes rajah is an insectivorous pitcher plant species of the Nepenthaceae family. It is endemic to Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.[2] Nepenthes rajah grows exclusively on serpentine substrates, particularly in areas of seeping ground water where the soil is loose and permanently moist. The species has an altitudinal range of 1500 to 2650 m a.s.l. and is thus considered a highland or sub-alpine plant. Due to its localised distribution, N. rajah is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN and listed on CITES Appendix I.
The species was collected by Hugh Low on Mount Kinabalu in 1858, and described the following year by Joseph Dalton Hooker, who named it after James Brooke, the first White Rajah of Sarawak. Hooker called it "one of the most striking vegetable productions hither-to discovered".[3]
Nepenthes rajah is most famous for the giant urn-shaped traps it produces, which can grow up to 41 cm high[4] and 20 cm wide.[5] These are capable of holding 3.5 litres of water[6] and in excess of 2.5 litres of digestive fluid, making them probably the largest in the genus by volume. Another morphological feature of N. rajah is the peltate leaf attachment of the lamina and tendril, which is present in only a few other species.
The plant is known to occasionally trap vertebrates and even small mammals, with drowned rats having been observed in the pitcher-shaped traps.[7] It is one of only two Nepenthes species documented as having caught mammalian prey in the wild, the other being N. rafflesiana. N. rajah is also known to occasionally trap small vertebrates such as frogs, lizards and even birds, although these cases probably involve sick animals and certainly do not represent the norm. Insects, and particularly ants, comprise the staple prey in both aerial and terrestrial pitchers.
Although Nepenthes rajah is most famous for trapping and digesting animals, its pitchers are also host to a large number of other organisms, which are thought to form a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) association with the plant. Many of these animals are so specialised that they cannot survive anywhere else, and are referred to as nepenthebionts. N. rajah has two such mosquito taxa named after it: Culex rajah and Toxorhynchites rajah.

This is a broken ceramic boot given to me by one of my tennis friends.
At first I was going to cut off the high side and make a short boot but then decided to try to re-make it using chicken wire and cement based glue.
I think this might be suitable for the next Mosaic Challenge!

Minera Quarry, Denbighshire
Another walk round Minera and a good variety of orchids in bloom. Most of these are in a new area recently incorporated into the reserve, an interesting area with limestone substrate supporting the usual species, and lower down a glacial deposit supporting more acid-loving species.
The new area has a lot of Frog Orchids, maybe 200 or so, or perhaps more. They are small and difficult to spot but the small grassed-over mounds of limestone waste are a favourite habitat for them. It presumably drains well and perhaps they like that.
First cuts with my diamond blade dicing saw. The edges are clean, seem to be sufficient for my needs.
This should help the plants to grow in a healthy, balanced way for a long time.
