Seen this beautiful Common Brimstone (male) on the Red Campion during a wonderful walk through flowering meadows and fields in the lovely surrounding of Waren, Müritz National Park (Germany).
Thanks Mikul for the great title idea!
On the upper side the male is sulphur yellow and the female white with a greenish tinge but both have an orange spot in the centre of each wing.
The Red Campion (Silene dioica) is a herbaceous biennial or perennial plant, with dark pink to red flowers, each 1.8-2.5 cm across. The flowers are unscented.
Besides the aesthetic value of its flowers, the crushed seeds of red campion have also been used to cure snakebites. The nectar of the flowers is utilised by bumblebees and butterflies, and several species of moth feed on the foliage. (Wikipedia)

Den Zitronenfalter (männlich), dersich gerade an der Roten Lichtnelke labt, habe ich während eines langen Spaziergangs in der wunderschönen Umgebung von Waren (Müritz National Park) entdeckt.
Die Falter erreichen eine Flügelspannweite von 50 bis 55 Millimetern. Sie haben intensiv zitronengelb (Männchen) bzw. blass grünlich-weiß (Weibchen) gefärbte Vorder- und Hinterflügel. Die Weibchen können auf den ersten Blick mit dem Großen Kohlweißling (Pieris brassicae) verwechselt werden, jedoch kann man sie anhand der charakteristischen Flügelform gut voneinander unterscheiden. Alle vier Flügel der Zitronenfalter sind an den Spitzen deutlich zugespitzt. Beide Geschlechter haben je einen orangen Augenfleck auf ihren Flügeloberseiten, auf den Unterseiten sind diese bräunlich gefärbt.
Die Rote Lichtnelke wächst als sommergrüne, zweijährige oder wenige Jahre ausdauernde krautige Pflanze und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 30 bis 90 Zentimeter.
Interessantes zu der Roten Lichtnelke:
- In der Volksmedizin wurden die zu Brei zerstoßenen Samen zur Behandlung von Schlangenbissen eingesetzt.
- Die Wurzeln der Roten Lichtnelke wurden früher wie Seife benutzt.
- In den Haushalten Nordostitaliens werden in der lokalen Küche mit dem Kraut, zusammen mit Ricotta, auch Ravioli gefüllt. (Wikipedia)

Echium vulgare L. ssp. pustulatum, commonly known as Viper’s Bugloss, is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial plant from the borage family (Boraginaceae). This subspecies is primarily found in southeastern Europe, particularly in the Balkans, and is well adapted to dry, rocky habitats such as meadows, roadsides, and karst landscapes.
Interesting facts:
•The name "Viper’s Bugloss" refers to the shape of the flower, which was once believed to resemble a snake’s head and was used in folk medicine against snakebites.
•Its vibrant blue to violet flowers attract a wide range of pollinators, especially bees and butterflies.
•The plant is covered in stiff hairs, giving it a rough texture.
•It’s drought-tolerant and thrives in poor, sandy soils, making it valuable for wildflower meadows and erosion control.

Hrvatski:
Echium vulgare L. ssp. pustulatum, dvogodišnja je ili kratkovječna višegodišnja biljka iz porodice oštrolista (Boraginaceae). -
Boražinovke (porečnice, oštrolisti, lat. Boraginaceae).
Ova podvrsta uglavnom raste u jugoistočnoj Europi, osobito na Balkanu, i prilagođena je suhim, kamenitim staništima poput livada, putova i krških područja.
Zanimljivosti:
•Naziv "zmijina trava" potječe od oblika cvijeta koji podsjeća na zmijsku glavu, a u narodnoj medicini koristila se protiv ugriza zmija.
•Cvjetovi jarkoplave do ljubičaste boje privlače mnoge oprašivače, osobito pčele i leptire.
•Biljka je prekrivena krutim dlačicama koje joj daju hrapavu teksturu.
•Otporna je na sušu i uspijeva na siromašnim, pjeskovitim tlima, pa je korisna za livade s divljim cvijećem i sprječavanje erozije tla.
Evo dodatnih zanimljivosti o Echium vulgare L. ssp. pustulatum, prvo na engleskom, zatim na hrvatskom:
________________________________________
English – Additional Interesting Facts:
•The plant contains alkaloids, which make it slightly toxic to grazing animals, especially in large quantities, though pollinators are not affected.
•Its deep taproot allows it to access water from deeper soil layers, giving it an advantage in arid environments.
•Historically, it was used in herbal medicine to treat wounds, coughs, and fevers, though modern use is limited due to its toxicity.
•The flowers change color from pink to blue as they mature, which helps pollinators distinguish between older and fresher blooms.
•It plays an ecological role in supporting biodiversity, providing nectar in dry, nutrient-poor areas where few other plants thrive.
•Its rough leaves and hairs are thought to deter herbivores, making it less likely to be eaten by wildlife.
________________________________________
Hrvatski – Dodatne zanimljivosti:
•Biljka sadrži alkaloide, zbog čega može biti blago otrovna za stoku ako se konzumira u velikim količinama, iako ne šteti oprašivačima.
•Zahvaljujući dubokom korijenu, može crpiti vodu iz dubljih slojeva tla, što joj omogućava preživljavanje u sušnim uvjetima.
•U prošlosti se koristila u narodnoj medicini za liječenje rana, kašlja i groznice, iako je danas rijetko u upotrebi zbog potencijalne toksičnosti.
•Cvjetovi mijenjaju boju iz ružičaste u plavu kako sazrijevaju, što pomaže oprašivačima da razlikuju starije od svježih cvjetova.
•Ima važnu ekološku ulogu jer pruža nektar u sušnim i siromašnim staništima gdje druge biljke teško opstaju.
•Hrapavi listovi i dlačice služe kao zaštita od biljojeda, čineći biljku manje privlačnom za ispašu divljim životinjama.

The two female figures from the recent Lanard "The Corps! Elite" toyline. These are very well designed with excellent articulation and almost compareable to modern GI Joe 4" figures. Both figures use the exact same bodysculpt in different color schemes, only the heads are different. The crossbow and knives can be carried on their back and the pistol fit in the thigh holster. I swapped the heads like I noticed someone on Ebay do, definately think they look better this way.
So this weekend I went to Alexandria, Indiana to see some friends of mine. It was about a 10 hour drive and my friend Kait and I went together. She is from South Dakota and had to drive a separate 5 hours before getting to me to head to Indy. I made a point to take pictures of all the beautiful people I got to see while I was there :)
Varanasi, India
Every day, 200-300 bodies are cremated in Varanasi. I saw about 10 fires burning at a time, each being a cremation. Only married men and women are cremated. Holy men, pregnant women, children, lepers, and people killed by snakebite cannot be cremated. These bodies are instead taken by boat and sunk directly in the Ganges (from what I understand, around 50 bodies per day). The cremation must take place within 24 hours of death. According to Hindu belief, if a person is cremated they achieve instant nirvana from the cycle of death and rebirth.
A little bit about the process. Before being cremated, the bodies are bathed in the Ganges river by family members and then wrapped in a piece of cloth. They are then placed on top of the pyre and are doused in oil and sandalwood dust. The pyre is then lit by the closest male family member, using an eternal flame believed to have been started by the Lord Shiva. It takes around 750 lbs. of wood per cremation, and the process takes around 3 hours. Because the ribs of men and the hip bones of women often don't completely burn away, they are deposited into the Ganges.
Varanasi is the considered the holiest city in India, and is therefore the most desired location to be cremated. Only the wealthy families can afford to have family members cremated here. The funeral pyres are very expensive and if a poor family can't afford an entire pyre, the body is often not fully cremated.

Also known as Malayan ground pit viper, Malayan ground snake, or Malayan moccasin; Ular kapak bodoh (Malay).
Toxicity: Highly venomous
Temperament: Bad-tempered and quick to strike. In northern Malaysia it is responsible for some 700 incidents of snakebite annually with a mortality rate of about 2 percent. Deaths are uncommon. However, many victims are left with dysfunctional or amputated limbs due to the lack of anti-venom and early treatment. But situation has improved the past 5 years with many victims been treated early and hospitals are supplied with ample anti-venom.
Size: 76-91 cm (with females bigger and longer than males).
Range: Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Peninsular Malaysia and Java (Indonesia).
Habitat: Prefers coastal forests, bamboo thickets, unused and overgrown farmland, orchards, plantations as well as forests around plantations.
Diet: Rats, mice occasionally other reptiles.
This Holiness church is located in Poor Valley here in Rose Hill, VA. The congregation has been the subject of ridicule and controversy due to the fact that some here handle serpents as part of their worship. There has been some snakebites, and at least a couple of deaths, one being a pastor. Usually, if bitten, the person refuses medical treatment.
I like to multitask while I drive, so here's a self-portrait taken while driving and singing.

With the likes of the Bakudan starfighter deployed to secure the space lanes, the frequency of Blacktron attacks was reduced for a short while. Then Blacktron stole the design to create a variation of their own, and the resulting Snakebite starfighter proved to be more than a match for its adversaries.
Location: Highland of Taiwan
Toxicity: Highly venomous
Also called Taiwan cobra, is a species of cobra in the family Elapidae, found mostly in southern China and a couple of neighboring nations and islands. It is one of the most prevalent venomous snakes in mainland China and Taiwan, which has caused many snakebite incidents to humans.
Local herpers believe this species was "released" in this particular location by a religious group since there we no cobra 8-10 years ago in this area.

The first upload describing the flooding conditions here I mentioned there is snakes every where. This is a King Cobra who bit "The Worm" this morning next to the house.
Your saying "what are you doing so close ?" Well it's dead ! And here is the story.
.
A neighbor and I were out traversing the water swollen roads trying to find a safe and clear way back home when for some reason I needed to know what time it was. There was a missed call on my cell phone that had come in 15 minutes earlier from number one wife. No big deal, called and could tell she was in a vehicle moving fast down the road. She answered with a short sentence. " Worm has been bit by a King Cobra, we are on the way to the animal hospital !. "I'm on the way back, could be 20-30 minutes, see you there" my reply was just as short and to the point.
.
Mr WeeNee was anxiously waiting when I returned, it was easy to see the concern for his sibling..
Sister-in-law came over and said "number one wife killed the Cobra and it was hanging in a tree next to the house and my nephew who had brought in supply's was driving dog and wife to emergency care".
.
Hadn't been home but 20-25 minutes and back they came with The Worm leading the way through the jungle.
Now I'm really puzzled, asking number one what's going on, why is The Worm still alive ?
Doctor showed her where the snake's fangs had gone through her upper lip and just scratched her gums with very little venom going into her blood supply.
Talk about good luck, like one in a million chance's of that ever happening.
There was so much blood flowing from her mouth that what venom did enter was partly washed out.
Now you can see she is not feeling very well and tears are dripping from her eyes but if the poison was going to kill her it would of already happened.
I suspect she will be very quiet for a few days.She's laying with her head on my foot right now not saying a word.
.
The Worm started doing her snake bark about 20 feet from where my wife was standing. WeeNee took off like a rocket to help little sister. Number one wife also got involved as the Cobra tried to bite her too. Worm made 4 or 5 bites taking out some meat, WeeNee grabbed it's tail when it went after number one wife.
Now I need to add this before going on any further.
Number one wife is a very kind, quiet gentle person unless you mess with family then she too becomes a Female Queen Cobra and will attack the adversary in a heart beat. The Worm screamed out in pain and the snakes life span was shortened to mere seconds as the wife finished it off with a short stick ..;-0.
So here we are with one 7 foot long dead King Cobra, one sick dog, one re-leaved husband.
And you are wondering whats next ? Well I'm on the way over to the hospital to pick up a guy who tried to commit suicide last night. Told them I could be there by noon to help get him home .On the way to the hospital I dropped of the Cobra at a Thai friends house for a BBQ tonight.
And your day is going well ? Hope so.
There is still 12 hours left in this one and then it all starts again ..;-)
Thank You.

Stoney Burke, a 64-year-old veteran was found by the Vet Hunters including Travis Goforth and founder, Joe Leal, in a desert camp in Duarte, California. The Vet Hunters offered to provide assistance to Burke and the other homeless residents of the camp, by providing resources including snakebite kits and other resources.

A collaboration with Cider Riot! and Beau’s All Natural Brewing. Snakebite really is 2/3 Kölsch and 1/3 cider fermented together with a touch of black currant. The result is light and effervescent, with a cidery fruit character, light hoppiness and a tart, fruity finish. Posh Spice loves to drink snakebites!
