Parasitised Stinging Nettle Slug Caterpillar (Cup Moth, Limacodidae) "Almond-backed"
Despite a formidable array of defensive strategies, the Limacodids are very vulnerable to attack by parasitoids. (Typically, a parasite will recycle its host, taking advantage of the nutrition and shelter provided without intentionally killing the host. A parasitoid specifically targets a host to complete its life cycle and ultimately lead to its demise.)
In this case, a tiny parasitoid wasp has bypassed the caterpillar's spiny, venomous and aposematic defences to lay its eggs in the caterpillar. The hatched grub-like wasp larvae go through their life cycle inside the host, consuming non-essential tissues. At maturity, they burrow to the outside and form silken cocoons in which to pupate, and from which a new generation of wasps emerge. Through to this stage, it has been essential for the caterpillar host to remain alive to provide the necessary safehaven and food, but now, with depleted reserves and physical trauma, its own struggle to adulthood is cut short.

HMS Magpie is the 9th. Royal Navy vessel to carry the name. She was named in recognition of the Duke of Edinburgh’s command of her namesake in the early 1950's, and the Duke personally endorsed Magpie’s motto, 'Lux in tenebris lucet' (shine light into darkness), shortly before his passing.
Magpie is a survey vessel of the RN’s Hydrographic Squadron, intended for use on inshore and coastal survey work.
Magpie has better endurance than her predecessor, HMS Gleaner H86, and her equipment is significantly improved. She also has the capability to launch and recover unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV).
One of Magpie's first major taskings was a continuation of work done by Gleaner in surveying Portsmouth Harbour to ensure the stability of the seabed in anticipation of Portsmouth's use by the aircraft carriers Queen Elizabeth R08 and Prince of Wales R09.
Once the work in Portsmouth harbour was completed, Magpie headed to the wreck site of the Mary Rose, Henry VIII's flagship, to survey the sea floor for anything of significance. Work then begin on investigating the wreck of a French galley which was lost off the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight around the same time as the Mary Rose.
As Magpie is considerably larger than Gleaner, the title of smallest commissioned vessel in the Royal Navy, which Gleaner held, passed to the two Scimitar class patrol vessels, HMS Scimitar, P284 and HMS Sabre, P285.

Sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) take flight after a frigid night in a pond in which the surface water froze, but provided safe haven from predators. This pair is on their way to nearby fields at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (New Mexico) to forage for insects in recently cut stubble.
I considered naming this “duck butt bokeh” but thought better of it.
As always thank you very much for your views, favs, and comments.

Design Challenge entry: ''Wish you were here: Myriad vanishings by Su_G' in a table runner (mockup c/o Roostery)
This design really needs a banner... but that will have to wait. Stretching the brief a bit, this is my entry in Spoonflower's Retro Postcards Design Challenge.
Hand-painted, 'boneless' wash (after Ren Yi) & line art.

The Contest Brief talked of "vacation memories with a vintage flair... time to experiment... or celebrate your most exciting travels [whether] by boat, train, airplane or even car..." and could have added, or by tank. So, I chose to commemorate Tiananmen Square on the 4 June 1989, using Ren Yi's “boneless wash” (& Ren Xiong's 'Myriad'), for Tiananmen Man. First the tanks came for him and then he went to the tanks, side stepping to stay in front when they tried to go around, and climbing on to remonstrate with the soldiers. Exciting times! We know where he'd been (shopping - the poignancy of those shopping bags!) but where did he go? Never seen again! Bob Hawke, Australian Prime Minster of the time, made a unilateral decision in 1989 to give the 27,000 Chinese students in Australia residency rights, and around 42,000 permanent visas for Chinese students were later granted.

The imposing harbour wall of Porthgain on the Welsh coast north of St Davids.
This harbour was once used to ship slate and road stone from the nearby quarry. Water powered mills were used to crush the rocks into stone which was loaded onto freighters and taken along the coast to the Bristol Channel.

Welcome to Vaporium! A world unlike any you have ever seen. Flying dragons, mining Dwarves, if you can make it up, it’ll probably exist there.
Existing of several dozen small and big islands, it’s a place where all sorts of people live among each other. Several hundreds of years the Vaporians have been expanding their empire, from the northern Dwarven realms to the tropical islands full of pirates and cannibals. Every island is somehow connected, be it by bridge or boat.
Walk around in the magical world of Vaporium and discover its secrets. As far as she is willing to show them to you, that is…
“Where do the Vaporians get their power from?” Is a question you might have. Well, all the power in Vaporium comes from the mechanical island, which also provides Vaporium with her name: Vaporia Magistralis. Nobody knows exactly where it comes from and research shows it has been spinning for several thousands of years. Ever since one of Professor Schweitzer’s clones bumped his submarine against the surface about threehunderd years ago, many of his relatives and other people made their home. The clone built the high tower to research why the island turns around exactly. They have however yet to find out why this is the case and all attempts to figure this out have ended catastrophically. The expedition led by Stanley Steam for instance led to the disappearance of Stanley himself. Only his shoe was recovered when it was spat out atop the enormous tower.
The island itself is home to remarkable events. Some plants grow beautifully, while others wither away the moment they touch the soil. It is also reported that many crates, animals or people suddenly begin to levitate.
Up in the north there is a mysterious tower dubbed by the as Zâhnar Khûzuhk: the Tower of Darkness. It appears to consist of dark grey granite and was built long before even the Dwarves travelled to this region. De Dwarves, oldest people of Vaporium, do not share much information they have about this place and every explorer that sets foot on the island is never heard of again.
Probably as a response to Zâhnar Khûzuhk the three towers were built that shield the Tower of Darkness from the mainland. They are called the Three Mages, probably named after the three wizards or mages that built the towers. This is also the most northern place where one can moor ones ship.
The mine of Stormcap is many centuries old. Long before the Vaporians reached this place the Dwarves were already delving deep in to the earth for gold and precious gems. How old the mine is precisely we do not know, because the stubborn little creatures are a very secluded people and do not wish to share much about their past. We do know however that they love gold and like to sell their jewels to the Vaporians. Few jewels or golden decorations are made without gold mined by the Dwarves in Dazûhm Ghӕrl, as the Dwarves like to call their mine.
The current lord of the mine is Jarl Thorgrim One-Eye. Some known dwarves which you might recognize are bombardiers Dӕlen and Dӕren Blackbeard (although the father has traded his black hair and beard for a grey shine) and Jormund the Black Storm.
Also on Stormcap is the little village called Stormhaven. Originally built as a tiny fisherman’s village, overtime, it has become one of the most prosperous merchant villages of Vaporium, all thanks to the wealth of the Dwarves. Almost every day you can visit the market or enjoy the local music. One can find knives and swords of Dwarven craftsmanship and other niftily made artifacts in the little shops. The Mayor Harold Ondanin often looks over the square from his little balcony. The center of the square is dominated by the statue of the Mage who founded the village.
Oldrock Keep was originally built as a Dwarven keep, but after the colonization of the Dwarvenempire by the Vaporians, it was traded for the Mine that was much more profitable for the Dwarves. The current lord of the keep is lord Dunstan Rendanin. Considering it is located so far north, technology is not that advanced in this place, but it is certainly not a place of poverty. This is the last place where people can moor their ship before going more north. For that reason the Wolfshead Inn is a famous inn, where they pour delicious dark beer.
The gigantic castle of king Jeryn the Always Happy is of course a marvel of construction. The people of king Jeryn are stubborn and tend to hold to their old medieval society. They avoid every form of technology. You will not find any steam engines or blunderbusses here. This causes them to be mocked by other Vaporians, but they don’t seem to mind because they keep on laughing regardless.
In the courtyard one can see the throne hall and atop the balcony stand King and Queen together. Remarkable is the clock tower which had its fair share of use since gold loving Dragons hold a fancy to the castle.
Roaming between the many islands one can witness the most remarkable vehicle known to Vaporium. The enormous mechanical dragon built by doctor Frankenstone. This dragon, named Draconis Magnificus, was completely designed and built by the doctor. Here and there it lands to take in supplies to take with him on his journeys through the world of Vaporium.
The city of Eglaïm in the warm tropical south is gouverned by Grandvizier Karsin al-Rauth. The Grandvizier is a man who loves gold, but then again: who doesn’t? This means however that he allows a lot of thing that are not strictly legal. This makes Eglaïm, also known as the Drops of the Sea, a safehaven for all sorts of outlaws and pirates. As long as they fill the gold chests of the Grandvizier he doesn’t mind if they store or sell their stolen goods in the city. The big ships with darkred sails are feared throughout the seas of Vaporium, because more often than not sailors lose their cargo after being entered by the Bloodsails.
Near the city of Eglaïm is the mysterious Temple of Legoqatl. Once every seven years a delegation of the island travels to Eglaïm laden with golden gifts for the Grandvizier, to make sure they are left alone to their dark practices. The Grandvizier tries to make sure they are left alone, but alas there are stubborn sailors who do try to moor their ships to the island. The few who leave the island never say a word about what happens there, but that it’s not to be trusted is a fact.
The small Island of Rynce Stohn, greatgrandchild of Jaques Stohn, is always in some sort of commotion. Just like his grandfather Rynce likes to invent stuff and to think of new and innovating stuff. He is also an old apprentice of doctor Frankenstone. The most crazy things he imagines he can actually produce with his hands. His current project is highly classified, but judging by the framework it’s going to be enormous.
Dragons are an abundance in Vaporium. Many a tower or castlekeep has fallen because of an angry or furious Dragon. The ruins of these towers are many and scattered all over the place and often a refuge for outlaws or pirates.
Skullbreak Island is an ominous island, upon which an incredibly high tower is built. The skeletons of many who perished there still lay all about the island, and the only inhabitant is rarely seen.
