Diphyus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.

The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution.

Adult Roesel's bush-crickets are medium-sized Tettigoniid between 13–26 mm in length. They are normally brown or yellow, often with a greenish shade and a rarer green form also sometimes occurs. An identifying feature is the yellow-green spots along the abdomen, just behind the pronotum, along with a matching margin along the border of the pronotum. This margin is entire, unlike the bog bush-cricket.

Males and females can be easily differentiated, as the females have a long sword-like ovipositor at the end of their abdomen, which the males lack.

Adults of Plagiognathus arbustorum can reach a length of 3.6–4.5 millimetres (0.14–0.18 in). These small mirids show a rather variable color, ranging from almost black to pale olive-green. Usually the head and the pronotum, the 1st and 2nd antennal segments and the margins of the hind femora are wholly dark. Forewings and pronotum are covered in dark hairs. The nymphs are green, with a black drawing on the legs.

Adults of these mirids can be found from July to October. They are polyphagous, usually feeding on many different herbaceous plants, but especially on Urticaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Apiaceae species.

Both adults and the nymphs prefer to suck on the buds, on flowers and immature fruits of their host plants. They feed occasionally on aphids and honeydew.

Detail of an old demonstration-style hand-cranked electrical generator

The smaller gear has a diameter of about a half-inch (1cm)

The larger gear has a diameter of about two inches (4cm)

When the operator (via the hand crank) turns the larger gear one revolution, the coil of wire (connected via an axle to the smaller gear) spins four revolutions, and the faster the coil spins, the more voltage is produced by the generator.

HMM!

These leafhoppers inhabit rough grassy areas, peat bogs and mires, wet meadows, near marshes or in swampy habitats, but sometimes live also in drier areas.

The adult males of Cicadella viridis can reach a length of 5.7–7 millimetres (0.22–0.28 in), but the females are quite larger than the males, reaching 7.5–9 millimetres (0.30–0.35 in).

Their pronotum and scutellum are green and yellow. The front head is pale yellow, with two black spots near the compound eyes. The forewings are turquoise green in the females, blue or dark bluish in males (sexual dimorphism). The abdomen is bluish-black.

The larvae are yellowish and have two brownish stripes running from head to the end of the abdomen.

So this past week we were to practise Balance and Golden Ratio. Honestly not so easy to do... you have to truly look at your scene and dig deep to do this. I imagine as time goes it will get easier ... Learning the rules of photography is fun and challenging.

Thank you for the lovely setting it was taken at ✈️ : Vox Populi

Mills, mills, mills... and after two days of shooting them I have quite a few up my sleeve. But I have to admit, it was once again a real joy to spend these mornings like this!

Further down the road I found another scenery, where the harsh light turned out really beneficial. The sun was shining just over the hillside and provided beautiful backlighting on the autumn leaves. With the tele I was able to fully zoom in on the golden diagonals of the landscape, that stood out even more on the very dark ground they were growing on. With a 16:9 aspect ratio I got rid of the last distractions in the frame and this gave an even more abstract approach of the landscape. I always get a lot of fulfilment out of this, often not so obvious, photographs. And despite most of them never make it through my own selection, I do like the way this one turned out.

Fog Bank Panorama (3 images 2.8 aspect ratio) - Canon PowerShot G12 - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.

I saw a 1cm-long black fly land on a leaf and thought "That won't male much of a photo". Then I remembered that you can discover all sorts of wonderful colours you can't see with the naked eye when you look through a macro lens. Wow, it's not "just" a black fly! I've no idea what species it is but I definitely didn't see all those colours through my own eyes. Cropped from 3:2 ratio to 4:3 maintaining the height of the original photo. Taken using the pop-up flash - a rare event for me - set to 1/32 power, with diffuser, on account of the thick overhead cloud.

STOP PRESS: I've just ID-d this as an Orange-bearded bluebottle; what a name!
