Auch wenn viele Menschen des Essen von Würmern verabscheuen:
Es gibt sie auch zu Mehl verarbeitet.
Der Proteingehalt ist 2,5mal so hoch wie bei Mandeln.
- Gegenüber Rind/Schwein/Hühnern
- haben sie eine weit bessere CO2 Bilanz
- haben sie weit weniger Wasserbedarf
- haben sie einen weit höheren Energiegehalt (Protein)
Even if many people disgust the food of worms:
They are also available processed into flour.
The protein content is 2.5 times that of almonds.
- Compared to beef/pork/chicken
- they have a far better CO2 balance
- they have far less water requirement
- they have a much higher energy content (protein)
This image is dedicated to CLEVE NASH, mentor and friend, who set a consistent high standard of pro quality bird photography for many of us CA Central Coast bird photographers. White-tailed Kites were his favorite raptor. I miss him. White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus) brings a vole back to the nest; SLO County; CA; USA.

Mehlwürmer haben zwar mehr Protein als Pekannüsse, aber im Geschmack können sie nicht mit den Nüssen mithalten.
Mealworms have more protein than pekan nuts, but in taste, they cannot compete with the nuts.
Zukünftige Proteinquelle:
Mehlwürmer haben etwa 6 Mal so viel Protein wie Erdnüsse.
Future protein source:
Mealworms have about 6 times as much protein as peanuts.
American robin with food for the little ones. The robin family and the catbird family have nests near each other in the abelia bush. it's nice to see the two bird species getting along so well. Backyard bird.

Cuando yo era pequeño mi padre los cazaba con tirachinas, con red, con cepos y luego con escopeta de aire comprimido, de esas que usan perdigones. Lo hacía por diversión pero también para comerlos, sí, sí, para comerlos…!!! Eran otros tiempos y entonces unos pajaritos fritos eran un plato de proteína exquisito y barato. Otra cosa es que ahora se haga algo así, porque está totalmente prohibido por la ley (¡menos mal!) aunque algunos lo sigan haciendo a escondidas.
Rio & Ginny our Quaker parrots love eating egg. It's a good source of protein so especially beneficial coming up to the breeding season. I hard boil a chicken egg & give them a small amount each day chopped up in a dish. I store the left over boiled egg in the fridge, each one lasts them about 4 days. For Macro Mondays theme "Egg" HMM!

Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.
Silk is produced by several insects, like silk worms but generally only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. There has been some research into other types of silk, which differ at the molecular level. Silk is mainly produced by the larvae of insects undergoing complete metamorphosis, but some insects such as webspinners and raspy crickets produce silk throughout their lives. Silk production also occurs in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants), silverfish, mayflies, thrips, leafhoppers, beetles, lacewings, fleas, flies, and midges. Other types of arthropod produce silk, most notably various arachnids such as spiders.

How does it last the blink of an eye? You could measure it, if you really want to, but the truth is that we are so accustomed to blink our eyes that we are almost entirely unaware of the whole thing. Our brain compensates for it. So, in a way, we could say that a blink of an eye has an infinitesimal duration. The amazing thing I was thinking of while processing this fireflies shot - while recalling the actual experience - is that a whole, huge lot of things happen in the blink of an eye. Proteins in our cells are freshly synthetised; old, worn-out proteins are digested and reduced to aminoacids to be recycled; tiny yet powerful molecules of ATP continually bind to enzymes, allowing them to perform their "unlawful" duties at amazing rates; B lymphocytes produce and refine astronomical quantities and varieties of antibodies to fight some intruding pathogen; neurons alternately fire and rest in what we could envisage as, well, an astoundingly complex network of hyperfast fireflies. In the blink of an eye whole universes are born, and whole worlds are destroyed. We are so bound to our perception of time, to our own timescale, that it is utterly difficult for us to imagine what is happening on different timescales. In a mere hour a bacterial colony can proliferate enormously and, sadly, viruses can get huge hordes of self-copies at the expense of an unwittingly complicit cell.
There are further non-human timescales though, well beyond the microscopic word of cells or molecules. It is not by chance that for centuries people have been believing that the world had truly been created in seven days (well, actually six) and that everything - from geology to animals and plants - have remained basically unchanged since then. And that fossils were either remains of antediluvian creatures or tricks of the devil to test our faith and potentially lead us astray.
Well my friends, somehow this photo has reminded me that the world - both the micro- and the macroscopic - is something unutterably complex, almost beyond our grasp (almost being the key of everything). The quest for its understanding is a collective, neverending adventure. I often feel so small that even these fireflies, with their wonders, humble the feeling of being part of the species who believe to be master of the world. My mind is a minute firefly lost in a vast expanse of darkness. Yet I cannot give up. We cannot give up, since we "were not made to live [our] lives as brutes, / but to be followers of worth and knowledge" (Divine Comedy, Inferno, 26). Maybe our lives are the blink of an eye in the unutterable spatial and temporal vastness of the universe. But they are well worth living.
It has always been one of my unfulfilled dreams to photograph fireflies, which, sadly, are becoming a rarity in our countryside; the positive effects of the lockdown for the environment have probably favoured a blooming this year, so I decided to have a try. I followed the advices of a master of fireflies photography, the Bulgarian photographer Hristo Svinarov. However I will eagerly accept hints and positive criticism from everyone who will be so kind to offer it.
In my second fireflies session I have become a little more confident in my possibilities. I have tried to lower the ISO below 1000, and this is by itself a huge step towards better photos; moreover I have somehow dared more in composition. I am forced to use my Samyang 14 mm, which is the only fast-aperture lens I have in my gear, so I ventured nearer and nearer, until I was literally surrounded by dancing fireflies.
I have stacked 15 5-second photos with the Gimp. As the basic layer I used an image I have obtained by averaging the photos with John Paul ChaCha's Chasys Draw IES Artist: the fireflies themselves were almost obliterated but the landscape were effectively denoised, while the details were improved. In this photo I have processed separately the image which would have been the basic layer, just in the same way as any other photo - luminosity masks, and so on. When I was satisfied with the landscape I faced a new problem: it was just like I wanted it to be, so the 15 layers to be blended (those actually containing the fireflies) should not alter it - they should only add the precious fireflies. After a good bit of trial and error I developed my own workflow: a) duplicate one of the fireflies layers; b) extract LAB L component; c) in the bw image so obtained play with levels to force all the dark tones to black, then lower the light tones slider to better the fireflies signal; d) manually paint out the sky and the trees, and the other unwanted parts still visible (e.g. the water in the ditch); e) use this image showing only the fireflies as the layer mask of the original photo; f) set the blending mode to Addition: at this point the fireflies appear in the scene; g) duplicate 4 times the layer and then merge down the copies to get only one layer with the fireflies signal very naturally amplified; h) proceed in this way for all the (gasp) 15 shots; i) after all this, you can inspect the contribution of every layer to the result and, if needed, you can duplicate it and blend with Addition or Dodge to amplify it.
Back on my mission to get into better shape, I had a little De-rail in March and then when I was sick so I need to get back to it.
Breakfast is a Peanut Butter Banana :D
Now off to Get some Shopping done, need a pair of pants for a trade show Im working to help a friend, I NEVER where Khakis so Yea, I have to buy a pair lol
This adult red-tail flew into a lower tree limb behind us and then dropped from there to the lawn across the path. The cell phone photo tells the tale: the bird had spotted a dying cicada, from probably 15 m away. These must make abundant and tasty snacks in late summer. In any case, this fearsome predator doesn't seem to be above stooping (literally!) to such tiny prey.
Staying healthy is a little easier with a protein start to the day on days when I am going to be out and about.

Need More Protein - Male Bald Eagle struggling to pull a stick for nest building. I think he needs to work on his leg strength Light was difficult and this isn't up to the image quality I typically shoot for, but was satisfied considering I had to push the ISO and crop in and see how much detail I could maintain.
