This and my other shots from the Morse Museum are from my second full day with my new camera. Just trying to get a handle on what I can do with the system.
Used webbing to make an adjustable strap; pattern by noodlehead.

Just some fake spiderwebs on the front of my house for Halloween.
One a day for October! Alternate photos on, Instagram if interested.
Macro Monday theme: Macro texture
Roll of nylon webbing used to hold a canoe on top of a pickup truck.
The male Monarch Butterfly may be easily distinguished from the female by noting the two highly visable black spots on the insect's hind wings and the thinner black webbing within the wings. The female's webbing is thicker and she has no identifying wing spot as the male does.
Web making has always fascinated me. It is amazing that spiders will only go to this grand effort if the weather is going to be clear/free of rain. This makes them better meteorologists than us! Also, their webbing is stronger than steel of the same diameter. Amazing creatures! (An Orb Weaver)

This is a beetle that's trying to escape from a spider web with the spider nearby. The plant is native Sawtooth Goldenbush (Hazardia squarrosa, Asteraceae) in the woods today. I'm pretty sure it is the Red-shouldered Leaf Beetle (Saxinis saucia) in the Chrysomelidae group of beetles, and I believe this is a Mesh Web Weaver spider in the family Dictynidae, maybe genus Dictyna itself. It is an example of cribillate webbing. The webbing is frizzy and comprised of very fine threads that are spun into a strand like hand-spun wool or chenille yarn, different from ordinary spider webbing. There's more info at Wikipedia and a nice article in The Atlantic. I'm not sure if the beetle got away. Happy Web Webnesday! (San Marcos Pass, 29 August 2023)
Macro Mondays: Opposites.
It has often intrigued me that a spider's webbing is stronger than steel of the same diameter. So, the opposites are as follows: Strong-Weak (or as I couldn't find steel of the same diameter as the web, perhaps Weak-Strong), Flexible and Elastic-Brittle, and Natural-Man Made.
This is the Sierra Dome Spider (Neriene litigiosa), in the family of sheet web weavers (Linyphiinae). Their range extends from BC, south to Northern Mexico. Called the Dome Web Spider on southern Vancouver Island, they are readily found in great numbers in the lower stories of our temporal rain forests. Often several domes will be sporadically 'stacked' like condos in the same bush. They typically wait in a central position, upside-down on the underside of the dome shape web while awaiting prey.
Fastidious house cleaners; whenever debris lands on their dome from the forest canopy above, they quickly inspect it and remove it by pulling it through to the underside of the web and letting it fall. It was no different when I carefully placed this piece of small metal wire on the dome. This was taken a mere 2-3 shots before the spider successfully removed this 'debris' from her web.

Along our walk at the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge yesterday. Cash Lake in the background. I gave it a Vintage effect to change the colors a bit and enhance the spookiness with a little vignetting.
Like its close cousin the Semipalmated Sandpiper, the Western Sandpiper also has semi-palmated toes. That is, there is partial webbing at the base, which can be seen clearly here. The Palmate Newt is named for similar reasons. I photographed this juvenile Western strutting along a piece of driftwood on the shore on Vancouver Island.

Third sightings
This frog is one of a number of species which has evolved extensive webbing between its fingers and toes. Its web feet will be fully extended akin to a mini umbrella or parachute. This allows it to glide from branch to branch, or across breaks in the forest canopy.
The species is easily identified by its yellow flanks which are spotted with black (photo). Its dorsal surface and upperside of its legs are mottled medium brown/red, sometimes with scattered, irregular white spots. Its underside is pale pink. The webbing between its fingers and toes is red.
Range: Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and the Philippines.
Pictured are Royal Marines and Royal Navy Personnel from 539 Assault Squadron performing a beach assault from an Offshore Raiding Craft (ORC) in Harstad, Norway.

Was neat to find that cobweb, didn't notice it until I turned the camera a certain way.. :o

"Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah"
This is an early instar of the Scalloped Sack-Bearer moth larva, Lacosoma chiridota. It situates itself midrib on the upper side of an oak leaf, having built a silken net over itself and curiously, fastens its own fecal pellets to this net. While living under this shelter it alternately feeds and rests. The caterpillar eats leaf material on each side of the midrib. Later instars (the stages between molts) form a tighter shelter by bonding leaves together with silk.
My kids started Little League this year, so I pulled my old ball glove out of the attic. After 30+ years of neglect it was in pretty rough shape..
For Macro Monday - Broken
Have a good week.
Brown pelicans weigh about 8 pounds and measure a little over 4 feet in length, with a wingspan of over 6.5 feet. The 6 subspecies of brown pelican are similar in appearance with slight differences particularly in breeding plumage. Sexes look similar, though males are slightly larger. Brown pelicans have short, dark legs, long, broad wings, a large, heavy all-brown body, and a huge bill. Webbing between all four toes makes the brown pelican an awkward walker, but a strong swimmer. In basic plumage, adults have a white neck and belly, pale yellow head with occipital crest, a brown body, brown eyes, a throat pouch that is reddish orange, and a billface that is paler at the base and tipped with yellow. As the breeding season approaches, the distal end of the bill turns reddish, the proximal end of the throat pouch brightens to a poppy-red, the iris turns a yellowish white to light blue, and a white stripe runs down the pouch side of neck, while the rest of the neck stays dark brown.
From the title you can tell that's me in the picture. If you don't follow me on Instagram you probably haven't seen the countless times I showed pictures of me along with friends (I recommend following me there if you wanna get updates on stuff quicker).
Basically the reason I haven't been posting recently is because I lost access to all my photos on my pc, including the new moc I was going to post, and some follow-up picks for a couple mocs I already built. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post here, but I still plan to check and see how things are going.
Note: I AM NOT LEAVING FLICKR I AM JUST TAKING A BREAK. I STILL PLAN TO CHECK ON STUFF.
Anyways, peace out, Pyrbonius.
Sometimes webbing is so dense I wonder how the spider can maneuver within it. Multiply that by a hundred spiders packed together in close quarters and I don't know how they don't trap each other (apologies for the nightmare-inducing thought to some of you). This is a species of spider that lives in huge communal webs, which thankfully are not hard to notice.
Another member of this communal web has starred here before. The first comment on that page shows a photo of my dad looking up at a web, for size comparison.

The Eight-fingered Harpist -
A good afternoon, I was meandering the trail enjoying the sight of fluttering butterflies when an acoustic wave assimilated with the tuneful songs of sparrows. What is this crystal clear sound encroaching my eardrums? I flashed my eyes everywhere until the wellspring of the drift came into view. Between a tired twig and a tender shrub, a cross-strung harp was hooked up. And on the euphonious apparatus, a pixie player with 8 eyes and arms was birthing a solo. Gray hair strings patterned after constellations of the night sky were lace on the music piece with curvaceous physique. Tapping and pulling the strands in different lengths and spacing, the instrumentalist’s emotions metamorphosed into a sonata of the moonlight. To the same degree the cords are plucked, my heartstrings as well are tugged. Soothing on the whole, a sorrowful low at times; the resonant melody carries me along. Who can dispute that music has power to heal, or drown? I bear witness to the skilful harpist in the forefront. Her reverberating vibration of positivity restores wilting daisies, their determination to get through. At the back, a few came and passed it by; joggers concentrating on catchy hits playing on big phones strapped on heads. Seeing that a soulful solo is wasted, something rises up to my throat… a salty teardrop of mine slowly slides. The single trickle coming to rest on the parched strings broke into ninety-nine opal beads. I lament, for what the charm of nature’s music did lose to modern technology.
It was an amazing experience to stand face to face with this awesome animal staring me down...we were only about a metre apart from each other if that. It was a bit of a moment for me....truly amazing.Taken at the Perth Zoo.
The Sumatran Tiger is the smallest of the tiger subspecies. This smaller size allows it to move through the forest quickly. Its stripes are also thinner than other tigers, assisting with camouflage in the shadows. Unlike other cats, tigers like to swim. Sumatran Tigers have partial webbing between their toes, which makes them very fast swimmers. Sumatran Tigers also have a white 'beard'.
Hope you are having a great weekend or it is winding up nicely ;) xx Car
Perfectly adapted to a life in a rainforest long toes and pads to the tips make this frog an agile tree climber, strong webbing between the toes slows any aerial descent to a glide.
