African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)
Only the second time I have seen one of these. The first being in January last year.
I add the description that I got at that time.
This is a recently introduced exotic African carder bee, (Pseudoanthidium repetitum). It differs from the native Megachile bees in that the white bands across the abdomen are coloured cuticle rather than coloured hair as found in native bees. The common name carder comes from the way females construct a brood cell. Some native Megachile bees use cut leaves to build a cell while others gather plant resin. This bee scrapes or carders plant fibres from the leaves of a few plant families and makes a cotton wool like brood cell. First found in Australia in 2000 in Brisbane and was recorded in Perth in 2020. These bees often nest in human made boxes (especially fuse boxes) so get transported easily by us. An interesting bee to have in your garden.

The first of these I have seen this season.
These were first sighted in Australia in 2000. My first sighting was in 2022.
I am having tech problems today, hopefully I can upload these images and I will catch up when I can - it may be tomorrow.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

La vera gioia della vita consiste nel vivere per uno scopo che si sceglie come il più importante, nell'avere dato tutto di se stessi prima di finire un paio di metri sottoterra e nell'essere una forza della natura anziché un piccolo, febbrile ed egoistico ammasso di dolori e risentimenti che si lamenta perché il mondo non si dedica a renderlo felice.
Per me la vita non è una candela che si consuma in fretta ma piuttosto una splendida torcia e voglio che arda e illumini il più possibile prima di consegnarla alle future generazioni

Leggevo oggi queste riflessioni su un libro dedicato ai caregivers.
Mi è venuto da pensare che non sempre possiamo scegliere gli scopi per cui vivere, ma talvolta è la vita stessa che ci immerge in certe situazioni in cui si richiede la nostra cura e sostegno. E allora possiamo accettare, cercando di fare il meglio possibile, o rifiutare.
Pensavo anche che è bello essere una torcia. Ma a me basterebbe essere un lumicino, che comunque illumina la via

All these fruits are imported to Maldives. Among them, only banana is grown locally - which fail to meet the local demand.

Bristol Airport’s WX19 LYC is seen leaving the Staff Transport Hub working a Staff Shuttle. This vehicle was formerly with SBS Transit as SG4004B and recently imported to the UK. One of very few (if not the only) Citaro Hybrid in the UK currently.
Yay, an upload! :D

Great Barrington, MA, is the home of a huge store that imports all manner of wood carvings and art from Asia. I loved a lot of items - but these carved wooden fish were the only thing I could afford!

Charlestown Harbour was built for and named after local industrialist Charles Rashleigh, to the design of John Smeaton, for the export of china-clay and copper ore and the import of coal and mining supplies. It is now the best-preserved china-clay and copper ore port of its period anywhere in the world
Las Médulas es un Paisaje Cultural, resultado de la intervención romana en un territorio a lo largo de dos siglos y de los cambios experimentados en ese territorio hasta la actualidad. Su importancia, sin embargo, va más allá de los monumentales restos de la minería de oro romana, ya que es el producto de los cambios históricos de todo tipo que esa explotación y dominación implicaron.
En diciembre de 1997 la inclusión de Las Médulas en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial supuso, por primera vez en España, el reconocimiento internacional de un Paisaje Cultural.
Las Médulas son en la actualidad un Bien de Interés Cultural en cuanto que Zona Arqueológica (1996) y, como Espacio Natural, han sido recientemente declaradas Monumento Natural (2002). Pero ante todo Las Médulas son un Parque Cultural, una realidad dinámica en la que los elementos fósiles se articulan en un paisaje vivo, el del presente, conduciendo al visitante del territorio actual al territorio antiguo
It's such a relief to be back online! I'll be going back to see what everyone has posted, as fast as I can.
While offline, I found [no surprise here] that I had more time for doing digital artwork.
