ich wollt ich wär ein Huhn, dann hätt ich nichts zu tun, ich legte jeden Tag ein Ei und Sonntags auch mal zwei😀
My lake devours the ice
My diamonds are drowning
And will never come back in its form they had
There will be new ones
There will always be new ones
All will be a bit changed
But just as glorius as the old ones
In another form, of course
Even in a better shape
Glittering like never before
Yes, I like that idea
I guess I landed
Again

Ichneumon Wasps are parasitoids of other invertebrates. The female uses her antennae to seek the larvae of wood-boring insects below the bark and once she has detected one she inserts her long ovipositor through the wood and lays eggs in the larva. Her young hatch and devour the host, pupate and emerge to begin the life cycle again.

The scientific name Chrysochus auratus means “made of gold” and refers to the fantastic metallic hues of blue, green, gold, and red on surface of the beetle. This beetle has no accepted common name, but it is often referred to as the dogbane beetle due to its habit of feeding almost exclusively on plants in the genus Apocynum, herbaceous plants we refer to as dogbane.
Dogbane grows along roadsides and trails near the forest edge. It is a perennial with clusters of small white flowers. If you damage a leaf or stem, it oozes a white sticky sap. There in full view of all you will find the dogbane leaf beetle. It is a wonder that an insect so conspicuous can survive in a world where birds, toads, and mice dine on insects with gusto.
There is a secret to the dogbane beetle. The dogbane plant, is full of highly poisonous compounds known as cardenolides. These compounds are toxic to a variety of animals, including humans. Cardenolides are also known as cardiac glycosides and they can have profound and lethal effects on the heart if ingested. It is likely that these compounds evolved to keep leaf-munching animals from eating dogbane. The Chrysochus has the ability to eat the leaves of dogbane unscathed. Instead it ingests cardiac glycosides, stores them in glands, and then secretes them when threatened by its own predators.
It is believed that these toxic compounds confer protection from hungry predators that would otherwise devour Chrysochus. The conspicuous color and tendency for the beetle to feed and rest in full sight of its enemies are probably the beetle's way of advertising its nasty chemical defense. (Bugoftheweek) : )

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws, And make the earth devour her own sweet brood; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, And burn the long-liv'd Phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets, And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time, To the wide world and all her fading sweets.......Shakespeare

Common Spotted Ladybird (Harmonia conformis)
Spotted on one of Pam and Steve's Rose Bushes devouring an Aphid. You can see the Aphid about to be swallowed.
Colin must be getting on in Cuckoo years now… as it must be at least 8 years he’s been returning from Africa to the same spot in Surrey to pose for his many admirers. It’s surprising he doesn’t pop the amount of mealworms he devours daily 😁 Bit sad to hear his strained wobbly last note on his cuckoo call this year. But he’s still looking dapper…even if I haven’t managed the sharpest shot! I think there will be much mourning when he finally departs. But he’s back for now! 😃❤️

I'm not exactly sure what is happening here but I'm guessing that the spider (which is laying upside down and covered in what looks like webs) was killed by something else and the ants just took advantage of a free meal. Photographed in Maryland today.

"Roughly translated, the word ‘Wendigo’ means ‘the evil spirit that devours mankind’. Another translation, said to be made by a German explorer around 1860, equates the word ‘Wendigo’ with ‘cannibal’. Wendigoag are said to have an insatiable hunger for human flesh - no matter how much flesh they eat, they remain hungry.
This hunger is reflected in their appearance, which, according to some, is extremely thin. Despite their gaunt physiques, Wendigoag are described by some as giants, measuring at about 4.5 m (14.8 feet) in height. Whilst there are slight variations as to the physical description of this creature amongst the different Algonquian peoples, it is generally agreed that Wendigoag have glowing eyes, long yellowed fangs and long tongues. Most Wendigoag are also said to have sallow and yellowish skin, though others say that they are matted with hair or have decaying skin."
