Rust Fly, (also called Carrot Fly), Psila merdaria.
Length 8 mm.
May to August.
There are two species which are very similar - Psila fimetaria and Psila merdaria. P. fimetaria has the third antennal joint darkened on the outer side at the base of the arista, and the hairs beneath the second antennal joint longer; whereas P. merdaria has the third antennal joint larger but without darkening at the base of the arista on the outer side, and hairs beneath the second antennal joint shorter.
Found in various habitats but often in areas of lush vegetation and amongst the crops that they target when ready to lay eggs.
Larvae live in the roots, bulbs and non-woody stems of plants.
These rusting mice reminded me of the artwork with the boxing hares when I looked at the reflections.
"Rusted Gear Motor" by Patti Deters. In this close-up of an old rusty motor gear, you can see corrosion and flecks of rust on the thick metal. There is a bolt on the top with a powdery layer of decay. The orange coloring of the copper coils inside the round motor housing almost matches the rust on the rest of the piece. I'm not sure what this mechanical object part was used for, perhaps some sort of industrial engine part? Please see more of my artwork at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/rusted-gear-motor-patti-....
Orange sporangia --
Air-borne spores;
Cedar-apple rust.
.
.
This orange fungus is growing on a red cedar tree, and at this time of the year the fungus releases spores from its orange sporangia (spore cases). The spores are carried by the wind. The spores that happen to land on apple trees will infect their leaves. Soon rust-colored fungal spores from the apple leaves will be released, infecting red cedar trees. That's why this is called Cedar-Apple Rust. The fungal infection alternates from red cedar trees to apple trees.

The former NSB Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) Di-8 locomtives provide the main source of traction around Scunthorpe Steelworks. 8.703 is seen in the rusty environs of the works with a train of empty billet wagons.
The locomotives were built in 1996-1997 for Norwegian State Railways but were gradually replaced by EMD Class 66 and Vossloh Euro types. With plenty of life still in them ten of the class were sold moving initially to Redcar steelworks. When Redcar closed they moved again, to Scunthorpe, mainly replacing the YEC Janus types.
The large Bo-Bo types have Caterpillar CAT 3516 DITA engine which generates 2,110 hp and a top speed of 75mph, although it's doubtful that they will see anywhere near that speed on the lines around the steeworks.
