Hi I am Jens
I am a AFOL from Germany.
I have been building for many years but recently decided to post online. Sorry if my english is not the best.
Here is my firefly drone. He is a worker at a factory and one of my favourite models of mine.
Thanks for looking!
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
Cause I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far to tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seam
Pyractomena larva using its anal appendage to groom the head. July 2013
joeCicero commented on bugguide.net, "it's a Pyractomena larva cleaning its head and cervix...but the degree of protraction of the head is beyond anything known for the family...it is known that firefly can protract to some degree, so that the head is completely out of the prothorax and the cervix shows as well, but it is not known that the cervix can be so long....this must correlate to the need for larvae to reach the deep interior of the helix of snailshells to get all the food out...find one feeding on a snail or give a snail with a deep helix to this one and watch to see what it can do to reach the core."
First attempt ever at trying to capture fireflies (view in lightbox to really see them). Very interesting excursion to say the least. Shot at F/8 ISO 3200 for roughly 50 seconds this seemed to be the sweet spot tonight. This was a great workout in camera settings and a beautiful night for it. I'll be heading back out this weekend to see if I can capture this at it's peak which seemed to be at around 9:30 pm...These shots were taken at roughly 11pm.
Walking along a hiking trail late at night, I noticed several fireflies sitting in the grass below a group of trees.

My last two Brickheadz for the Firefly ensemble... from the episode "Ariel" are the two "Hands of Blue" guys. I tried to make on balding (as he was in the show) and made their heights different to distinguish them. I also gave one the sonic device. There is otherwise nothing new in these two brickheadz compared to the other one's I built.
Hands of blue... bah. Tiles of tan - got nothing left.

Canon 50D
30 stacked exposures with my 10-18mm wide angle at 18mm F/5.6, Iso from 100 to 800 as the evening progressed, exposure 15-30 sec,
This is my first ever attempt at capturing fireflies. It was taken at a 15 second exposure, I'm sure in time they'll be better than this. At least I hope so.
