A northbound gets an "Approach Slow" at South Deshler as a northbound train K172 waits in the east siding, K447 waits in the west siding and yet another southbound shows at North Deshler.
Preys on insects and spiders. It paralyzes insects, buries them and lays eggs on top of the insect. It becomes food for the young.
The day started off quite nicely but by the time I got around to thinking about a shot for today, it was foul, so looked for an indoor shot. I threaded six different coloured cottons through the needle and twisted them up a bit. Taken in upstairs window where there was a little more light, trees in the background, gold reflector to the front.

The thread-waisted wasp:
after 2 hours going through each plant that could be an ideal place for bees and wasps at their sleep.
I came across many different species of wasps and another few bees that were all covered in dew, which made them wet and not photogenic at all. I came across this beautiful wasp, This is a Thread-Waisted wasp, I admit it is so beautiful I was just amazed by this find, sleeping pretty high on a dry plant holding it with the big mandibles not to lose grip at their sleep, pretty hard to shoot, but the time was limited before she would get warm enough to fly away and start hunting for a prey to paralyze and burry under the sand.
It is normal to me to find these wasps sleeping since i have seen dozens that day, I am convinced this is another species that I haven't seen before, Yet one of the most beautiful I have ever seen if not the most.
Mural entitled "A Persistent Thread" by Jonny Alexander for "Murals in the Market" seen in Detroit, Michigan.
The artist explains the work as follows: This image is a personal interpretation of Detroit, where its been and where it's going. A narrative image you can read from left to right lends reference to Detroit's manufacturing past, it's present growth and it's future yet to be known. There is a banner that weaves its way through the whole image from past to future. It's meant to represent the cultural thread that has run through Detroit, with +80% of Detroit's population being black, I see this legacy as being the lifeblood that gives the city it's culture, vitality and creative energy. The banner serves as a reminder to the changing city to recognize and celebrate its cultural legacy.

I set this up on my glass table. Since my lovely Bella came to live with me 2 weeks ago, photography is more of a challenge. Just after taking this photo:
For a project for Caturah.
The process of making has been good for me. I like putting single elements together into a useful whole.

Mrs Nghien started spinning silk at age 20, and retired in 2023 at the age of 96. She was kind enough to set up her tools and show us her skill.
Truc Ninh in Vietnam has a long history of silk production. Renowned for its high-quality silk, the region has a strong tradition of manual silk thread production, passed down through generations. While facing modern challenges, Truc Ninh continues to produce silk, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to sustain this valuable cultural heritage and contribute to the local economy.

The Nematocera (thread-horns) are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae, consisting of the mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and midges.
Nematocera are typically characterized by filamentous, multisegmented antennae which may be plumose in some males. The Nematocera are a paraphyletic suborder, because one of its constituent families (Anisopodidae) is apparently a sister taxon to the entire suborder Brachycera; an alternative classification has been proposed in which the family Nymphomyiidae (traditionally classified within the Blephariceromorpha) is removed to its own suborder, the Archidiptera, and all the remaining nematoceran families are placed in a suborder called Eudiptera; however, the Eudiptera are also paraphyletic, and this classification has not been widely accepted. Largely due to its long history, the name Nematocera continues to be used.
Examples of the Nematocera include the mosquitoes (Culicidae), crane flies (Tipulidae) and black flies (Simuliidae). Many of the remaining families (especially Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae, and Sciaridae), are called gnats, while others (especially Chironomidae, Cecidomyiidae, and Ceratopogonidae) are called midges.
The larvae are mostly aquatic and have distinct heads with mouthparts that may be modified for filter feeding. The pupae are orthorrhaphous (meaning adults emerge from the pupa through a straight seam in the pupal cuticle). The bodies and legs of the adults are usually elongate, and these flies often have relatively long abdomens.
Many species form mating swarms of males, and in some of these, competition for females is extreme. Although many species (as larvae) have a strong association with water, even within a single family there may be a trend toward semiaquatic and terrestrial habitats.
