Infrared, light not visible to human eye... I wonder, do (some) animals see in infrared?
I recently read that warm-blooded creatures such as us cannot see in infrared, because our bodies produce heat and would greatly complicate our vision.
However, many cold-blooded animals can 'sense' infrared light; such as frogs, fish, snakes and blood-sucking insects, i.e. mosquitoes and bedbugs.....
UN INSETTO CHE ANNUNCIA L'ESTATE
La Nezara viridula e un insetto fitofago (che si nutre di piante) appartenente alla famiglia Pentatomidae. Sono insetti di medie dimensioni (circa 1,5 cm di lunghezza), di forma appiattita scudiforme, irregolarmente pentagonale, dotate di un rostro ben sviluppato, che serve per aspirare la linfa delle piante.
Sono conosciute come cimici verdi ed hanno la caratteristica, se disturbate, di emanare un odore sgradevole, che trasmettono anche ai fiori e ai frutti che frequentano (sono chiamate anche cimici puzzolenti).

AN INSECT THAT ANNOUNCES SUMMER
The Nezara viridula is a phytophagous insect (which feeds on plants) belonging to the Pentatomidae family. They are insects of medium size (about 1.5 cm long), with a flattened scudiform shape, irregularly pentagonal, with a well developed rostrum, which is used to suck the sap of the plants.
They are known as green bedbugs and have the characteristic, if disturbed, of emitting an unpleasant odor, which they also transmit to the flowers and fruits they frequent (they are also called stink bugs).

As dusk falls, our heroines hunt around for a cockroach and possibly bedbug free shelter where to consummate their passion.
Nope! It's the back seat of the car again.

Post scriptum: There's been some disturbing gossip round the parish lately that Tessa eschews Photoshop and puts up only raw images from the sim. Tessa rejects this calumny with scorn and affirms that everything she does is photoshopped up the yinyang. Is there any windlight preset with that much fog?

This lovely motel was featured in the 2001 movie Children of the Living Dead Start at 35:53 for a view of the place from 2001...
Argiope o Telefasa (nieta de Oceáno), esposa de Agenor (nieto de Poseidón) y madre de Europa.
Prendado de Europa, Zeus se transformó en un toro blanco y la raptó, Su madre Argiope fallecería en su búsqueda.
Zeus llevó a Europa a Creta y con ella tuvo tres hijos: Minos, Sarpedón y Radamantis.
Con esta leyenda se simboliza el pasado de la civilización desde Asia, donde había nacido, a Occidente. La isla de Creta era considerada la antesala de Europa.
Una de las muchas versiones que corren, cuenta que el rey Agenor, padre de la princesa Europa, al saber lo ocurrido, corrió a la orilla del mar gritando su nombre y mirando hacia Occidente. “Y viendo hacia dónde dirigía su mirada, terminaron llamando Europa a aquella tierra, allende el Mediterráneo”.

St. Mary's Church in Kingsclere is a historical gem with roots stretching back over a millennium. Originally a Saxon minster, the current building is predominantly Norman, dating from the 12th century, with significant 19th-century restorations. It's renowned for its unique 'Bed Bug' weather vane, a quirky tribute to a legend involving King John and a night disturbed by bedbugs at a local inn. The church is a cornerstone of the community, offering regular worship services and events like concerts and art exhibitions. It's a place for reflection, prayer, and connection, open to visitors every day during daylight hours. For those interested in architecture, history, or seeking a tranquil space, St. Mary's is a welcoming destination.
There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, the present church being built on the site of a former Saxon minster. The unusual weather vane which is affectionately known locally as The Bedbug. Legend has it that its design was determined by King John, who on one occasion being prevented from reaching his hunting lodge on Cottington Hill by fog had to spend a night in the local inn where his night was badly disturbed by bedbugs!
Kingsclere, a large village and civil parish, holds a rich tapestry of history within the Hampshire countryside of England. Nestled approximately equidistant from Basingstoke and Newbury, it is a place where history and modernity blend seamlessly. The village's historical significance dates back to the times of King Alfred, who bequeathed it to his daughter, and it continued to play a role in the lives of subsequent monarchs. The Norman-era Church of St. Mary stands as a testament to Kingsclere's medieval past, with its flint re-facing dating back to around 1848. Not just steeped in ancient history, Kingsclere has also witnessed events of the 20th century, such as the tragic 'Kingsclere Massacre' during World War II. Today, Kingsclere maintains its charm with traditional fairs and a close-knit community, making it a unique blend of the past and the present.
This station's mezzanine level has become a de facto overnight housing for the homeless of New York. Just one word of caution; Bedbugs. I wouldn't sit in any of those seats at any time.
at 6am, all of the tweakers are finally curling up to sleep. the rundown and wind-blown queens motel sits on the edge of the open desert, the last stop for many who are down and out.

If you would like to view more Coreopsis from our garden, please click "here"
Coreopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Common names include calliopsis and tickseed, a name shared with various other plants. These plants range from 46–120 cm (18–47 in) in height. A common name for Coreopsis is Tickseed. They have showy flower heads with involucral bracts in two distinct series of eight each, the outer being commonly connate at the base. The flowers are usually yellow with a toothed tip. They are also yellow-and red bicolor. The flat fruits are small and dry and look like bugs. Many of its species are cultivated. The 75 to 80 Coreopsis species are native to North, Central, and South America. They have showy flower heads with involucral bracts in two distinct series of eight each, the outer being commonly connate at the base. The name Coreopsis is derived from the Greek words κόρις (koris), meaning "bedbug", and ὄψις (opsis), meaning "view", referring to the shape of the achene. Coreopsis species are used as nector and pollen for insects. The species is known to specifically provide food to caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora acamtopappi. The sunny, summer blooming, daisy-like flowers are popular in gardens to attract butterflies. Both annual and perennials types are grown in the home garden (USDA Hardiness Zone 7a/6b). In this Mid-Atlantic region insects as bees, hover flies, wasps are observed visiting the flowers. All Coreopsis species were designated the state wildflower of Florida in the United States in 1991. In the language of flowers, Coreopsis means to be always cheerful, while Coreopsis arkansa stands for love at first sight. Coreopsis is a variable genus closely related to Bidens. In fact, neither Coreopsis nor Bidens, as defined in the 20th century, is strictly monophyletic. Coreopsis is best described as paraphyletic. Previously (1936) Coreopsis was classified into 11 sections and 114 species, but the African species were subsequently reclassified as Bidens, leaving the North and South American species under Coreopsis, some 75-80 in all. 45 are in the 11 North American sections, and the remaining 35 are in the South American Section Pseudoagarista. The North American species fall into two broad groups, with 5 sections in Mexico and North America (12 species) and the remaining 5 sections in Eastern North America (26 species). One group which does seem to be monophyletic consists of temperate species from North America, including five sections of Coreopsis, Bidens coronata and Bidens tripartita, and the genus Thelesperma (five species). Native North American coreopsis can be found in two habitats In the wild they can be found growing along roadsides and open fields throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. In this environment the plant will self-sow.

I met a woman last week who said she moved back to the streets rather than live any longer in this Skid Row hotel. Too many bedbugs.

Del griego karpos, fruto y koris, chinche.
A veces pasamos de largo y no fotografiamos especies abundantes. Esa abundancia es relativa, quizá sólo unas semanas. Así que sigue fotografiándolos, intentando cambiar el punto de vista, posadero, fondo....
Quizá en invierno, revisando el disco duro, lo agradezcas.
From the Greek karpos, fruit and koris, bedbug.
Sometimes we pass by and do not photograph abundant species. That abundance is relative, maybe only for a few weeks. So keep photographing them, trying to change the point of view, perch, background.....
Maybe in winter, by checking the hard disk, you will be grateful for it.
