Podabrus pruinosus, the downy leather-winged beetle, is a species of soldier beetle in the family Cantharidae. It is found in North America. Soldier Beetles are great aphid hunters, helping gardeners control pest populations that often undermine food harvests and ornamental displays.

For Crazy Tuesday's Song Title Theme.

 

The Red & The Black is a song by one of my favourite bands growing up, Blue Oyster Cult.

It is also a song title by Iron Maiden. And apparently a song from Les Miserables, but I've never heard that. Popular title it seems.

 

So, I wanted to try the iPad/Lensball photography thing for a while now & finally got around to it. That's my iPad providing the light with a bright red screen at back and the lens ball in front, taken in a totally dark garage. It is quite addictive, and I have many shots with backgrounds ranging from a single colour, to some of my landscape shots, to some fractals generated in apps, all with differing angles through the Lensball. Think I'm addicted, there will be more ;)

'Til death do us part

You were unholy right from the start

It's a nice night for a black wedding

 

New RP characters get new weddings. I don't make the rules! Dorian was happy to give me the black wedding I had desired just to make things a little different. ♥

Autumn Polaroid Week Day 3/1

Graphosoma lineatum е вид полутвърдокрило насекомо. Обитава умерините зони на Европа до Средна Азия. Обитава растения от семейство Сенникоцветни и се храни със семена

 

The Striped Shieldbug is easily identified. It is a black bug with five distinct red lines on the pronotum. Or the other way around if you want... On the underside the Striped Shieldbug is red as well, but here it has black spots, not lines. Even though it is closely related to the Green Stinkbug and other foul smelling bugs, the Striped Shieldbug rather smells like apples. The taste however apparently appals all birds. In the Mediterranean there is another black and red species called Graphosoma semipunctatum. It is very similar except that on the pronotum it has 10 black dots, rather than lines. The larvae of the Striped Shieldbug are brownish and less conspicuous. Still it is not difficult to identify them, for a broad light line runs from the nose backwards to the end of the scutellum. The Striped Shieldbug is between 8 and 12mm long.

 

The eggs are being laid in spring. Larvae can be seen from June to September. In July the first adults may appear. This means that during most of summer and the beginning of autumn the animals may be seen in all stages of life, often in small groups. When the weather is bad as well as during hibernation the adults seek shelter, usually in crevices of trees. Both the larvae and the adults are fond of plants in the Carrot Family (Apiaceae), like the Wild Carrot and Chervils. Even though most of their food is obtained by sucking on plants, the nymphs will occasionally suck on larvae of other insects. The Striped Shield Bug is in hibernation for a rather long period of time: the animals are rarely seen from October to May.

I wish you all a blessed Christmas! I'm leaving for Montreal in the morning ( 22nd ) to spend Christmas Holidays there.

See you when I get back!

In real this butterfly much more beautiful... I don't know the name of this but love the colour and beauty....

As the weather improves, this beautiful little creeps get out to mate. Massively.

Amargura dorada en el paisaje.

El corazón escucha.

 

En la tristeza húmeda el viento dijo:

Yo soy todo de estrellas derretidas,

sangre del infinito.

Con mi roce descubro los colores

de los fondos dormidos.

Voy herido de místicas miradas,

yo llevo los suspiros

en burbujas de sangre invisibles

hacia el sereno triunfo

del amor inmortal lleno de Noche.

 

Me conocen los niños,

y me cuajo en tristezas.

Sobre cuentos de reinas y castillos,

soy copa de luz. Soy incensario

de cantos desprendidos

que cayeron envueltos en azules

transparencias de ritmo.

En mi alma perdiéronse solemnes

carne y alma de Cristo,

y finjo la tristeza de la tarde

melancólico y frío.

El bosque innumerable.

 

Llevo las carabelas de los sueños

a lo desconocido.

Y tengo la amargura solitaria

de no saber mi fin ni mi destino.

 

Las palabras del viento eran suaves

con hondura de lirios.

Mi corazón durmiose en la tristeza

del crepúsculo.

 

Sobre la parda tierra de la estepa

los gusanos dijeron sus delirios.

 

Soportamos tristezas

al borde del camino.

Sabemos de las flores de los bosques,

del canto monocorde de los grillos,

de la lira sin cuerdas que pulsamos,

del oculto sendero que seguimos.

Nuestro ideal no llega a las estrellas,

es sereno, sencillo:

quisiéramos hacer miel, como abejas,

o tener dulce voz o fuerte grito,

o fácil caminar sobre las hierbas,

o senos donde mamen nuestros hijos.

 

Dichosos los que nacen mariposas

o tienen luz de luna en su vestido.

¡Dichosos los que cortan la rosa

y recogen el trigo!

¡Dichosos los que dudan de la muerte

teniendo Paraíso,

y el aire que recorre lo que quiere

seguro de infinito!

Dichosos los gloriosos y los fuertes,

los que jamás fueron compadecidos,

los que bendijo y sonrió triunfante

el hermano Francisco.

Pasamos mucha pena

cruzando los caminos.

Quisiéramos saber lo que nos hablan

los álamos del río.

 

Y en la muda tristeza de la tarde

respondioles el polvo del camino:

Dichosos, ¡oh gusanos!, que tenéis

justa conciencia de vosotros mismos,

y formas y pasiones,

y hogares encendidos.

Yo en el sol me disuelvo

siguiendo al peregrino,

y cuando pienso ya en la luz quedarme,

caigo al suelo dormido.

 

Los gusanos lloraron, y los árboles,

moviendo sus cabezas pensativos,

dijeron: El azul es imposible.

Creíamos alcanzarlo cuando niños,

y quisiéramos ser como las águilas

ahora que estamos por el rayo heridos.

De las águilas es todo el azul.

Y el águila a lo lejos:

¡No, no es mío!

Porque el azul lo tienen las estrellas

entre sus claros brillos.

Las estrellas: Tampoco lo tenemos:

está entre nosotras escondido.

Y la negra distancia: El azul

lo tiene la esperanza en su recinto.

Y la esperanza dice quedamente

desde el reino sombrío:

Vosotros me inventasteis corazones,

Y el corazón:

¡Dios mío!

 

El otoño ha dejado ya sin hojas

los álamos del río.

 

El agua ha adormecido en plata vieja

al polvo del camino.

Los gusanos se hunden soñolientos

en sus hogares fríos.

El águila se pierde en la montaña;

el viento dice: Soy eterno ritmo.

Se oyen las nanas a las cunas pobres,

y el llanto del rebaño en el aprisco.

 

La mojada tristeza del paisaje

enseña como un lirio

las arrugas severas que dejaron

los ojos pensadores de los siglos.

 

Y mientras que descansan las estrellas

sobre el azul dormido,

mi corazón ve su ideal lejano

y pregunta:

¡Dios mío!

Pero, Dios mío, ¿a quién?

¿Quién es Dios mío?

¿Por qué nuestra esperanza se adormece

y sentimos el fracaso lírico

y los ojos se cierran comprendiendo

todo el azul?

 

Sobre el paisaje viejo y el hogar humeante

quiero lanzar mi grito,

sollozando de mí como el gusano

deplora su destino.

Pidiendo lo del hombre, Amor inmenso

y azul como los álamos del río.

Azul de corazones y de fuerza,

el azul de mí mismo,

que me ponga en las manos la gran llave

que fuerce al infinito.

Sin terror y sin miedo ante la muerte,

escarchado de amor y de lirismo,

aunque me hiera el rayo como al árbol

y me quede sin hojas y sin grito.

 

Ahora tengo en la frente rosas blancas

y la copa rebosando vino.

[F.G. Lorca]

Since the bushfires in the Blue Mountains, the sunrise and sunset has been red!

It's still hazy and you can smell smoke. This was taken in my backyard.

Looks like it's going to be a hot summer!

Predict 38C tomorrow......

 

Have a great week!
