Panaphis juglandis (Goeze, 1778) is an aphid that lives on the upper sides of leaves of Walnut trees Juglans regia, in rows along the central veins.
The photo. shows nymphs - they feed on the walnut sap, and excrete drops of so-called honeydew. Ants commonly feed on the honeydew deposited on the leaves, but sometimes also attend the nymphs to 'milk' them directly, stimulating them to produce the honeydew and then consuming it, as these photos. show. The nymph is about 3mm long.

Something happened to our main yesterday, and the utility repair man determined that it was somewhere between the street and the house. Since that involves extensive digging, he decided to essentially hook us up with a huge extension cord to keep the juice flowing. It just struck me as kind of funny that my whole house is on a big orange cable.
Indiana Dunes National Park is located in northwestern Indiana that was authorized by Congress in 1966 as the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (the name by which it was known until it was designated the nation's 61st national park on February 15, 2019). The park runs for nearly 25 miles along the southern shore of Lake Michigan; it contains approximately 15,000 acres. Its visitors center is in the town of Porter. Located in the park are sand dune, wetland, prairie, river, and forest ecosystems.
Indiana Dunes National Park has acquired about 95% of the property within the authorized boundaries. Several of its holdings are non-contiguous and do not include the 2,182-acre Indiana Dunes State Park, which is within the boundaries of the national park but is owned, managed, and protected by the state of Indiana. The national park is divided into 15 parcels of various acreage. Along the lakefront, the eastern area is roughly the lake shore south to U.S. 12 or U.S. 20, between Michigan City (on the east) and the ArcelorMittal steel plant (on the west). A small extension, south of the steel mill continues west along Salt Creek to Indiana 249. In addition, there are several outlying areas, including; Pinhook Bog, in LaPorte County to the east. The Heron Rookery in Porter County, the center of the park, and the Calumet Prairie State Nature Preserve and the Hobart Prairie Grove, both in Lake County, the western end of the park. Also within the National Park is the Hoosier Prairie State Nature Preserve, managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Dolce enjoyed stretching his legs since our day trip from Peggy's Cove meant a lot of time in the car. This was our last stop before turning back and heading to the house.

South extension of my in-laws' family house, seen from the entrance drive.
The house is at Spanish Point, Pembroke Parish, Bermuda.
On the L is part of the original house (c 1951) prior to later additions. This original part was built to one of several plans by the architect Wil Onions (1908-1959), local to Bermuda, which were offered to my in-laws when they bought their plot. Onions was a key influence in reviving Bermuda's vernacular cottage style.
The part of the house facing the camera is a room extension to the original house, and is built on stilts because of the steep slope of the hillside. It was cantilevered over the drive so that the room itself could be on the same floor as the rest of main living space of the house. Although the house has a garage, this area is always used as a car port and sometimes as a patio area. The main living room is in this extension. (The wide angle of my lens setting has 'stretched' the extension.) The view looks SE.
The roof is in traditional stepped stone style with hipped gables and a water catchment system. This can be seen as the bigger 'step' in the roof near the eave. This is the 'glide' and it directs rain water from the roof via pipes into a storage tank. Most Bermuda buildings have their own catchment system or share a local communal one.
Wikipedia gives a useful summary of Bermuda's distinctive traditional architecture, including information about Wil Onions' styles and influence.
PLANTS
1.
The conspicuous red catkin-like flowers, lower R, are growing on the shrub known as the chenille plant (Acalypha hispida Burm.f.) in Bermuda. Globally it has no known native area, and is known only as a garden plant thought to have originated somewhere in the Pacific (Oceania) region. More on this plant at: flic.kr/p/Eht8q3
2.
The tree bearing the pink flower-like fruits (upper centre) belong to the golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm.). Other common names for this tree are: pride of India, varnish tree, shrimp tree, China tree. It is a native of China and Korea. The fruits proper are berries inside these pink flower-like 'shells' that turn to this colour before fading. They appear darker than they really are here because they are casting their own shade.

A bronze statue of William III of England stands on the south side of Kensington Palace in London, facing towards the Golden Gates. The statue was designed by Heinrich Baucke and erected in 1907. It was cast by the Gladenbeck foundry in Berlin and given as a gift by the German Emperor Wilhelm II to his uncle, King Edward VII. The statue has been a Grade II listed building since 1969.
The statue was created as one of five large statues of the Princes of Orange – the Oranierfürsten – commissioned by Wilhelm II and erected in 1907 on the balustrade of the terrace on the north side of the Berliner Schloss, beside the Lustgarten in Berlin. The statues were intended to illustrate the close relationship between the Dutch House of Orange and the German House of Hohenzollern, and they echo similar statues by François Dieussart erected by Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, in the pleasure garden of the City Palace, Potsdam. Copies of each statue were also commissioned and presented as gifts: the originals were damaged in the Second World War and four were destroyed. (The statue of Maurice of Orange by Martin Wolff survived, and was displayed beside Humboldt Box.) Most of the copies have survived, including the statue in London.
The bronze statue is 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) high, with the subject depicted at larger than life size. He wears 17th-century military dress, including an ornate feathered hat, sword and cuirass, and high leather boots. The figure stands on a 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in) Portland stone pedestal which was designed by Aston Webb, who would later create the Victoria Memorial in London.
The front of the pedestal bears the inscription:
William III / of Orange / King of Great Britain / and Ireland / 1689–1702 / Presented by William II / German Emperor and / King of Prussia / to King Edward VII / for the British Nation / 1907
A popular story states that the design of the character Captain Hook was inspired by the statue.
Heinrich Karl Baucke (born April 15, 1875 in Düsseldorf ; † April 12 or April 13 , 1915 in Ratingen ) was a German neo -baroque sculptor .
Life
Heinrich Baucke studied sculpture at the art academy with Karl Janssen from 1891 to 1900 . His first success was the bronze figure Victor in the Fistfight , which can now be seen in the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf . He settled in Düsseldorf as a freelance sculptor and became involved in the local “Association of Academic Sculptors”, which sought to represent the interests of Rhenish sculptors against competition from Berlin. In 1903 he moved to Berlin , where he carried out several commissions from Kaiser Wilhelm II , including the statue of Wilhelm III. from Oranien-Nassau on the pleasure garden terrace of the Berlin Palace . Heinrich Bauke died on April 12th or 13th, 1915 in Ratingen.

William III (William Henry; Dutch: Willem Hendrik; 4 November 1650 – 8 March 1702), also widely known as William of Orange, was the sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from the 1670s, and King of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1689 until his death in 1702. As King of Scotland, he is known as William II. He ruled Britain and Ireland alongside his wife, Queen Mary II, and their joint reign is known as that of William and Mary.
William was the only child of William II, Prince of Orange, and Mary, Princess Royal, the daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland. His father died a week before his birth, making William III the prince of Orange from birth. In 1677, he married his first cousin Mary, the eldest daughter of his maternal uncle James, Duke of York, the younger brother and later successor of King Charles II.
A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic French ruler Louis XIV in coalition with both Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded William as a champion of their faith. In 1685, his Catholic uncle and father-in-law, James, became king of England, Scotland, and Ireland. James's reign was unpopular with the Protestant majority in Britain, who feared a revival of Catholicism. Supported by a group of influential British political and religious leaders, William invaded England in what became known as the Glorious Revolution. In 1688, he landed at the south-western English port of Brixham; James was deposed shortly afterward.
William's reputation as a staunch Protestant enabled him and his wife to take power. During the early years of his reign, William was occupied abroad with the Nine Years' War (1688–1697), leaving Mary to govern Britain alone. She died in 1694. In 1696 the Jacobites, a faction loyal to the deposed James, plotted unsuccessfully to assassinate William and restore the deposed James to the throne. William's lack of children and the death in 1700 of his nephew the Duke of Gloucester, the son of his sister-in-law Anne, threatened the Protestant succession. The danger was averted by placing William and Mary's cousins, the Protestant Hanoverians, in line to the throne after Anne with the Act of Settlement 1701. Upon his death in 1702, William was succeeded in Britain by Anne and as titular Prince of Orange by his cousin John William Friso.
ensington Palace is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England. It has been a residence of the British royal family since the 17th century, and is currently the official London residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two sons.
Today, the State Rooms are open to the public and managed by the independent charity Historic Royal Palaces, a nonprofit organisation that does not receive public funds. The offices and private accommodation areas of the palace remain the responsibility of the Royal Household and are maintained by the Royal Household Property Section. The palace also displays many paintings and other objects from the Royal Collection.
History
King William III and Queen Mary II
Kensington Palace was originally a two-storey Jacobean mansion built by Sir George Coppin in 1605 in the village of Kensington.
Shortly after William and Mary assumed the throne as joint monarchs in 1689, they began searching for a residence better suited for the comfort of the asthmatic William, as Whitehall Palace was too near the River Thames, with its fog and floods, for William's fragile health.
In the summer of 1689, William and Mary bought the property, then known as Nottingham House, from the Secretary of State Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham, 7th Earl of Winchilsea, for £20,000. They instructed Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor of the King's Works, to begin an immediate expansion of the house. In order to save time and money, Wren kept the structure intact and added a three-storey pavilion at each of the four corners, providing more accommodation for the King and Queen and their attendants. The Queen's Apartments were in the north-west pavilion and the King's in the south-east.
Wren re-oriented the house to face west, building north and south wings to flank the approach, made into a proper cour d'honneur that was entered through an archway surmounted by a clock tower. The palace was surrounded by straight cut solitary lawns, and formal stately gardens, laid out with paths and flower beds at right angles, in the Dutch fashion. The royal court took residence in the palace shortly before Christmas 1689. For the next seventy years, Kensington Palace was the favoured residence of British monarchs, although the official seat of the Court was and remains at St. James's Palace, which has not been the actual royal residence in London since the 17th century.
Additional improvements soon after included Queen Mary's extension of her apartments, by building the Queen's Gallery. After a fire in 1691, the King's Staircase was rebuilt in marble and a Guard Chamber was constructed, facing the foot of the stairs. William had constructed the South Front, to the design of Nicholas Hawksmoor, which included the Kings' Gallery where he hung many works from his picture collection. Mary II died of smallpox in the palace in 1694. In 1702, William suffered a fall from a horse at Hampton Court and was brought to Kensington Palace, where he died shortly afterwards from pneumonia.
My Dad is a carpenter. When I was a kid I went to work with him in the summers. This is how he taught me to plug in extension cords so they won't come unplugged no matter how hard you pull.
I took the photos to illustrate an Instructable at www.instructables.com.
Hoverflies in winter? I've never seen them this time of year down here.
The sun has been out the last 2 days, so maybe that had brought them out early.
I would have liked to get a little more of the head in focus, but apart from that I'm not complaining. :o)

ENGLISH
The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is a large saturniid moth found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, and common across the Malay archipelago. In India, Atlas moths are cultivated for their silk in a non-commercial capacity; unlike that produced by the related Silkworm moth (Bombyx mori), Atlas moth silk is secreted as broken strands. This brown, wool-like silk is thought to have greater durability and is known as fagara. Atlas moth cocoons have been employed as purses in Taiwan.
Atlas moths are considered the largest moths in the world in terms of total wing surface area [upwards of c. 400 cm2 (62 sq in)]. Their wingspans are also amongst the largest, from 25–30 cm (10–12 in). Females are appreciably larger and heavier.

CASTELLANO
La mariposa atlas (Attacus atlas) es una especie de lepidóptero ditrisio de la familia Saturniidae. Es el representante de mayor tamaño de la familia y la mariposa más grande del mundo tomando en cuenta el área total de sus alas (más de 400cm2). La envergadura de sus alas también está dentro de las más grandes, de 25 a 30 cm. Los especímenes femeninos son más grandes y más fuertes. El lepidóptero de mayor envergadura es el diablo blanco (Thysania agrippina). Su nombre científico deriva del nombre del titán Atlas de la mitología griega. En Hong Kong, en idioma cantonés, su nombre común se traduce como "mariposa cabeza de serpiente", en referencia a la extensión apical de las alas, que tiene un parecido con tal cabeza de ofidio.
Habita en los bosques tropicales del sudeste de Asia, el sur de China, pasando por el archipiélago malayo hasta Indonesia. En India, las mariposas atlas son cultivadas por la seda en proporciones no comerciales. A diferencia de la seda producida por el gusano de seda (Bombyx mori), la seda de la oruga de la mariposa atlas es secretada en hilos no continuos. Esta seda (llamada "fagara") de color café y parecida a la lana es apreciada por su gran durabilidad. En Taiwán, las crisálidas de la mariposa atlas se emplean para hacer carteras.
