Second from the right a Macropterous individual as per Simon below.

I'll name him Darth Maul :D

Entschuldigt bitte die Unschärfe, aber der Blick ist doch toll, nicht?

 

Excuse the blur, but the view is great, isn't it?

  

Disculpa el desenfoque, pero la vista es genial, ¿no?

The super moon turned out to be a less than optimum event but being out there with Jocelyn and

Bob for the evening made up for it. Playing with fire also made the evening spark :D....

I haven't been on here forever, and the excuses are huge, work, garden, photoshoots, tired, and those darn angry birds. I will have to get back to it and get caught up with my contacts.

A portrait shot at 3.7:1 magnification of a firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus).

 

I can't help think that the patterna and shape of the abdomen on these look distinctly African.

This is pretty funny in an ironic sorta way …

 

Name-dropping — identifying the location of a photo — is a big no-no for some urbexers, either because they want to keep the site for themselves or they want to protect it from vandals and firebugs.

 

Here in the abandoned school, the mantra against identifying locations has itself been vandalized!

螢火蟲是一種既美麗又神秘的小昆蟲,全世界有2000多種,而台灣約有56種。牠與金龜子一樣,是屬於鞘翅目的昆蟲,一生必須經歷卵、幼蟲、蛹與成蟲四個階段,是屬於完全變態的昆蟲。牠的生長的時間相當長,大部分種類為一年一代,並以幼蟲期、蛹期或卵期越冬,幼蟲期長達10個月,而成蟲卻只有20天左右的短暫生命

We have two species of red true bugs around our house and they seem to have split the land up between them.

 

Around the front door and on the front of the house (facing south), the black-and-red bug (Lygaeus equestris) is the only one (and abundant throughout the entire season), but to the side, underneath a couple of large thuja trees as well as inside the garden, I only see the firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus).

 

This one is the latter, but is much smaller than an adult firebug as it is a nymph (possibly 2nd instar) and along with a whole bunch of brothers and sisters, it was scurrying along when we were clearing some weeds in the garden.

 

If you want to see what the adult looks like, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/49180660231/

You can be a firebug and have a sweet spot for contemplating the beauty of the world around you...

But I don't know the REAL name of it!

The theme of my weekend was MOODLE and INTRO to CSS. Saturday am woke up at 4am burning with the desire to record my top ten tips for new edna Groups users. Shared it in the edna Group Owners forum and will work up a blog post soon.

 

Saturday night watched a great series of how to videos from the Moodleman himself Julian Ridden on how to create a Moodle template.

 

Tonight, I dug in and gave it a go. This is NOT the finished product, it's where I had to stop for tonight. I had a fantastic time learning and love, love, love Firebug, Dreamweaver, Filezilla and Gimp in concert. Also LOVE Colour Picker. (Yes I know Dreamweaver can FTP, no I haven't set it up yet cuz I was impatient.)

 

DOM = document object model (everything on a single web page *document* everything on that page is an object. Colour picker can spit back a palette of a web.
