At first I was a bit surprised to see an insect on Dandelion's seed puff. Nothing there in the way of proteins, either pollens or nectar. Then I remembered that Crane Flies during adulthood don't eat. In fact, their mouth parts make it impossible for them to eat anything. Their adulthood, of course, is very short. The larvae, though, can be quite voracious and they're often a pest that destroys the roots of field crops. I'm not sure of the species of our insect, perhaps Flavescens or maybe Appendiculata...
One of 6 species to be found in the UK and sometimes known as the Assassin fly. They can be found in scrubby grasslands and woodland edges. These flies are aerial or ambush hunters with excellent eyesight and will stab their prey and inject a protein dissolving saliva in which to kill and help digest their prey.
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.

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.
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.
Cedar waxwings snacking on tent caterpillars, taking some of the silken tent webbing along with the caterpillars. The remains of the caterpillar nest can be seen below the birds. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Summer, two years ago. The baby shrikes had fledged, but were still hanging out with each other and near their nest site. Before the end of August they would be gone, southbound with most of the migratory birds; until then, they were building their strength and flying skills while bulking up on grasshoppers.
I had several sessions with them in the warm light of early morning. This juvenile made no attempt to impale its prey; that hopper went straight down the hatch. Good protein, lots of roughage; one happy shrike and one happy photographer.

As if the Rose Robin wasn't enough, I turned around and there was what must be one remaining female Flame Robin. She is obviously on a high protein diet building up strength for her journey ahead.

House finch, Rondeau Provincial Park, April 14, 2023.
A welcome splash of colour at the water feature.
Haemorhous mexicanus.
House Finches feed their nestlings exclusively plant foods, a fairly rare occurrence in the bird world. Many birds that are vegetarians as adults still find animal foods to keep their fast-growing young supplied with protein.

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!

Have you ever had Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls? They are so light, refreshing, and full of flavor. It's like the perfect combination of a healthy pop of protein and veggies. They are so easy to make and even easier to enjoy. It is one of my favorites in first life and one that I am thrilled to bring to Second Life.
Find Gỏi cuốn, also known Vietnamese Shrimp Rolls until the end of the month at Anthem Event
maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Anthem/123/122/1108
After the event, it will be available at the main store (location via the in-world profile Picks of avatar Lucas Lameth) and the Second Life Marketplace.

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.
