Anti-slip studs at the top of a set of steps at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Taken after The Deer Johns show last night. I was lying down for this shot, when a very nice young lady came up and asked me if I was alright. She thought I had fainted! and was quite relieved to find out that I was just taking a photo. I was very appreciative that she cared, and thanked her for saving my life (if it had needed saving!).
Taken with iPhone 4S.
Literally a very old 8 mm camera I bought at the Ky Flea Market………..10 bucks, and it had an unopened roll of Kodachrome 25 film. 2.09 for the film per the price sticker.
Silver-studded Blues are commonest on southern heathlands around the New Forest and Thames Basin. Beyond that they are decidedly localised, though often common where they do occur. They are noticeably smaller than Common Blues, with a more leaden blue colouration, with a row of black studs around the hindwing margin. Its caterpillars feed on a variety of plants including gorse, heather and rock-rose, but they also have a relationship with black ants of the genus Lasius. Ants carry the young larvae into their nests where they tend and protect them, presumably for the sugary solutions they exude. But it is not known whether they actually feed on ant larvae (like Large Blues do), but at night the caterpillars emerge from the ants' nests to feed on vegetation. Female Silver-studded Blues selectively lay eggs on vegetation close to Black Ant nests.
So I've been watching a Youtube Channel a lot lately called 3DBotMaker and on that channel, they race Diecast cars down a mountain and do their videos in such a professional manner that I keep enjoying them.
So that is the introduction as to where I found this scene that I am building in Stud.io to see where I can go with it. This first part is this store and patio where there are going to be some announcers set up under this canopy.
I would like to hear your comments on this build.
A close-up view of Gem-studded Puffballs. After they ripen a small pore will open on the top of each one and spores will be dispersed on air currents.
Sleepy stud on the beach today. Nice body, not an ounce of flab. Dreaming of something nice, I imagine....

'ALL A QUIVER ...'
This image shows the moment a rather worn male Silver-studded Blue located a female. She was one of only two I saw during my visit.
He fluttered down to where she was perched and landed facing her, very close. Immediately she responded and started quivering her wings frantically whilst he stroked her antenna. This then induced her to open and raise the tip of her abdomen to an almost vertical position. I was hopeful of seeing them mate and catching some images, but their actions stopped abruptly when a Dark Green Fritillary dashed past. It spooked them sufficiently to make them fly off in different directions!
My image was a grab shot, but if viewed larger you can just make out the male’s left antenna moving over the top of the female’s. Also, check out her elevated abdomen. Such a pity they were disturbed ...
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
6 studs wide. Can accomodate a minifigure.
