Thick threads hanging from the frayed edge of upholstery fabrics in the workshop.
A big thank you to Sam from St Morris Upholsterers who let me wander freely around his workshop and shop taking these photos. See also their Facebook page St Morris Klassik.
This is a stinging wasp but it is very timid. The milkweed is a yellow variety which I purchased from a seed company.
Thread-waisted wasps are parasitic. They paralyze and capture spiders and various larva and carry them to their dens. Eggs are laid on the paralyzed prey and when they hatch they consume the prey. Most of these wasps are solitary unlike honey bees which live in large colonies.

I discovered this Black Widow under our kitchen sink, in a dark corner yesterday.. It pays to be vigilant ;)
I moved it to some potted mint leaves near our back sliding glass door, and shot towards the overcast outside light.
The Southern Black Widow has a shiny, black, globular abdomen with the well known distinctive red hourglass on the underside. Only the female black widow bites humans, and she bites only when disturbed, especially while protecting her eggs. Of the 30,000 'types' of spiders, the black widow is probably the one best known and feared.
The tensile strength of spider silk is comparable to that of steel wire of the same thickness. The density of steel is about six times that of silk, silk is correspondingly stronger than steel wire of the same weight.
F/13, .4 sec, ISO 640, 5D2, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 + 1.4x and flash with a wire & mirror lockup. Manual focus with the emphasis on the spiders distinctive red markings. Near full frame.

The 2 yellow ones are vintage crocheted thread holders approx 3". They were used to hold darning thread and has a felt circle lining the inside lid to hold your needles. I crocheted the red one making it a little bigger to hold tatting threads for taking along with me to crochet on the go.
Some red thread grabbed from my sewing box. Again has to be straight out of the camera as red really does not like to be played with.

This tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant can grow 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) high. It forms a grass-like clump of triangular green stems that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.
The younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms. Botanically, these represent reduced leaves, so strictly it is not quite correct to call this plant fully "leafless".
Egyptians used the plant (which they called aaru) for many purposes, most famously for making papyrus. Its name in Greek and in English is widely believed to have come from Egyptian. Cyperus papyrus is now used mainly for decoration, as it is nearly extinct in its native habitat in the Nile Delta, where in ancient times it was widely cultivated.
Theophrastus's History of Plants (Book iv. 10) states that it grew in Syria, and according to Pliny's Natural History, it was also a native plant of the Niger River and the Euphrates.
Aside from papyrus, several other members of the genus Cyperus may also have been involved in the multiple uses Egyptians found for the plant. Its flowering heads were linked to make garlands for the gods in gratitude. The pith of young shoots was eaten both cooked and raw. Its woody root made bowls and other utensils and was burned for fuel. From the stems were made reed boats (seen in bas-reliefs of the Fourth Dynasty showing men cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar boats are still made in southern Sudan), sails, mats, cloth, cordage, and sandals. Theophrastus states that King Antigonus made the rigging of his fleet of papyrus, an old practice illustrated by the ship's cable, wherewith the doors were fastened when Odysseus slew the suitors in his hall (Odyssey xxi. 390)
The "rush" or "reed" basket in which the Biblical figure Moses was placed may have been made from papyrus.
