A Japanese Spider Chrysanthemum, again; a different type.
The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)
Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.
They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.
The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.
For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration. A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.
The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.
Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

La vocation première du banc est d'offrir un refuge en un milieu ouvert, comme la haute mer. Les individus se trouvant au centre du banc se trouveront protégés par ceux qui en occupent les flancs. Face à l'attaque d'un prédateur, la plupart des espèces grégaires adoptent la même stratégie comportementale, et le banc se resserre pour prendre l'aspect d'une « boule », protégeant les individus les plus faibles (juvéniles...) au centre. Le banc permet également une meilleure exploitation des ressources, dans un milieu très dilué : en augmentant localement le volume global du banc, par rapport au volume d'un individu, on multiplie la probabilité de trouver une source de nourriture, car, si un seul des membres du banc détecte, par exemple, un banc de plancton, le groupe entier peut en profiter.
