This is a Thread Waisted Wasp, so named because of its very thin abdomen. Individuals in this species live by themselves, not in colonies. They feed on spiders and insects, pinching their necks with their strong jaws, and stinging them, which causes paralysis.
The victim's body is then placed in a mud cell and the wasp lays an egg upon it. The hatching baby wasps then feed upon this store. The clip was shot beside a waterfall, which accounts for the sound and the foam passing by in the background. If you click on the four-little-arrows full-screen icon in the bottom right corner of the window you will see the wasp much better!
I'm loving these colors together. I picked up some threads the other day for some embroidery. I got two new books, Doodle Stitching and Craft Pad, can't wait to try them out!

One of four 11' tall bronze frogs that sit atop giant concrete spools of thread that decorate the four corners of the Thread Street Crossing bridge. The motif celebrates Willimantic's history as a major manufacturer and exporter of thread as well as paying homage to a local legend, the Frog Fight. This was a harrowing night in 1754 when townspeople rushed outside with their muskets to defend themselves from an unseen screeching menace. The next morning, they discovered scores of dead frogs, who had fought for the last remaining puddles of water in a drought-stricken lake.
Rear view of the loom during the threading process. Note that one section of warp threads has been brought over the back beam but the threads are not yet inserted into the heddles. About a third of the warp threads are already in place behind the one most recently brought over.
A look down a row of metal eyelets that make up a rope fence. A closeup of the end tie-off to this fence is elsewhere on my stream.

The threads in this Zeus crank arm were in really bad shape, so I made a steel insert. Fortunately there were enough of the original threads left to allow me to get the crank arm clamped in my mill vise and preserve the alignment. The photo sequence skips over a couple of failed attempts where I tried to thread the ID of the insert before I put it in the crank arm, and the insert just broke. The final solution was is to cut the pedal threads after the insert was glued in place. Yeah, I know that you can buy kits to do this, but that's no fun.
Avon Cookie jar/ Thread Jar My daughter and hubby found this at a goodwill shop today and thought I would like it. It is really a cookie jar. But I thought it would be a good addition in the Sewing room as a Thread catcher.

2) shock absorption and noise decrese, heat and dust insulation
3) the displacement can be deflected to prevent damage caused by subsidence of connected brackets and equipment base.
4) double thread expansion joint is convenience to installation and maintenance
Designed to push rather than pull threads through the heddles for warping from the back of the loom.
Same basic components as all machines - from the spool on top run the thread through the top guide (notched hole on the top of the side plate), then down between the tension disks, up to the take-up lever (passing behind the guide bar) then back down to the needle (passing behind the guide bar again).
Also, because the bobbin is to the side, your needle has to be side-facing, too. On machines where the bobbin loads in front of the presser feet, the needle's eye will always face the front.
