Una pseudopata, espuripedio o pata falsa es una estructura carnosa en la superficie ventral del abdomen de ciertas larvas de insectos. Se encuentran en especial en orugas o larvas de Lepidoptera y también en larvas de algunos otros insectos como Symphita.
En todos los órdenes en que están presentes, principalmente Hymenoptera y Lepidoptera, las patas falsas parecen haber evolucionado independientemente, o sea son un caso de evolución convergente.1
Las pseudopatas de lepidópteros tienen un círculo de pequeños ganchitos. La distribución de estos puede ser útil en la identificación de orugas al nivel de familia. Aunque aun no hay total acuerdo, se considera que no se trata de verdaderas patas, derivadas de apéndices unirramos. No son apéndices articulados (carecen de coxa, trocanter, fémur, tibia y tarso) a diferencia de las patas torácicas de insectos adultos y sus larvas. Las pseudopatas tienen una musculatura limitada, su movimiento es efectuado por un proceso hidráulico.

A proleg is a small, fleshy, stub structure found on the ventral surface of the abdomen of most larval forms of insects of the order Lepidoptera, though they can also be found on other larval insects such as sawflies and a few other types of insects. In all the orders in which they appear, mainly Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera, prolegs of any form evolved independently of each other by convergent evolution.[1]
Prolegs of lepidopteran larvae have a small circle of gripping hooks, called "crochets". The arrangement of the crochets can be helpful in identification to family level.[2] Although the point has been debated, prolegs are not widely regarded as true legs, derived from the primitive uniramous limbs. Certainly in their morphology they are not jointed, and so lack the five segments (coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus) of thoracic insect legs. Prolegs do have limited musculature, but much of their movement is hydraulically powered.

Sobre un zócalo de piedra de granito y rodeado por una reja de hierro policromado y dorado, se levanta el sepulcro del infante Don Pedro, muerto en julio de 1366 al caer desde una ventana del Alcázar de Segovia, según cuenta la tradición.
El sepulcro que vemos en la imagen, fue realizado en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, cuando se trasladaron los restos desde la catedral vieja.
El que sirve de base guarda en su interior, en un nicho rectangular excavado en la piedra, un cofre que contenía una blusa de seda con botones de tela, un faldón, un cinturón y tres huesos (la tibia derecha y ambos fémures).
El bloque de piedra que sirve de tapa, está tallado con la figura yacente del niño. Tanto la base como la tapa están policromadas al óleo y presentan zonas doradas al mixtión. La decoración pintada imita diferentes piedras de mármol.
La reja, de estilo renacentista, está formada por balaustres de hierro policromado en azul y dorado en los anillos y pilastras de las esquinas. En el friso superior aparece la inscripción: “AQVÍ IAZE EL INFANTE DON PEDRO FIJO DEL SEÑOR REI DON ENRRIQVE SEGUNDO – ERA – 1404 – AN – 1366”.
On a granite stone plinth and surrounded by a polychrome and gilded iron grille, stands the tomb of Infante Don Pedro, who died in July 1366 after falling from a window in the Alcázar of Segovia, according to tradition.
The tomb seen in the image was made in the second half of the 16th century, when the remains were moved from the old cathedral.
The tomb serving as the base houses, in a rectangular niche carved into the stone, a chest containing a silk blouse with cloth buttons, a skirt, a belt, and three bones (the right tibia and both femurs).
The stone block serving as the lid is carved with the recumbent figure of the child. Both the base and lid are painted in oil paint and feature gilded areas. The painted decoration imitates various marble stones.
The Renaissance-style railing is made up of polychrome iron balusters in blue and gold on the rings and corner pilasters. The upper frieze bears the inscription: “AQVÍ IAZE EL INFANTE DON PEDRO FIJO DEL SEÑOR REI DON ENRRIQVE SEGUNDO – ERA – 1404 – AN – 1366.”
Bar Tailed and Black Tailed Godwits often cause identification issues. In summer breeding plumage or in flight they are easier to distinguish between, however like the one here a little more awkward. I have settled on Black Tailed on account of the straighter beak and longer tibia. If I am wrong please let me know.

The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs (Latin "corbicula" is a diminutive of "corbis," a basket). The corbicula is a polished cavity surrounded by a fringe of hairs, into which the bee collects the pollen.

Black mold beetles are 22 to 32 millimeters in length and are the largest short-winged species in Central Europe. The beetle is completely matt black in color, the body is very densely structured and has black hairs. The rear edge of the fifth exposed abdomen segment has a fine, light-colored skin border on the upper side. The rails (tibia) of the front legs have thorns on the outer edge in front of the tip. The membranous wings (alae) are developed.

You may have seen Pollen-Brushers shiver their way across pollen laden flowers such as Beggarticks. That shivering 'tells' the stamens of the flowers to loosen up their pollen for collection. Honeybees, of course, have their corbiculae or pollen baskets attached to the tibia of their hind legs. Tiny Heriades, though, gathers pollen on the woolly (hence 'Heriades' from the Greekl) bottom of her abdomen (see photo).
A hoverfly - common name according to iNat is orange-spined hoverfly - on an Aster flower in Bodnant Gardens.
The ID (independently verified) is based on the dark front/mid tarsi, strong face stripe and hind metatarsus thinner than the tibia. The stigmae (dark patches on the wing leading edge) are also a documented identifying criterion, being described as 'sharp' for this species. After looking through many photographs I can't tell 'sharp' from 'diffuse'!!

A 'footballer' hoverfly (based on the striped thorax) resting on an ivy leaf on the margins of Burton Marsh. The hind tibia is clearly displayed and is about 50% dark begging the question as to whether this is H. hybridus. However, it's a male (eye sides parallel) and the black bar across the abdomen reaches the edge confirming it's H. pendulus.
filling its pollen basket
The pollen basket or corbicula (plural corbiculae) is part of the tibia on the hind legs of certain species of bees. They use the structure in harvesting pollen and carrying it to the nest or hive.
Black-Legged Orb-Web Spider (Nephila fenestrata)
Appearance
The female, with a body length of 20-30mm, is almost entirely black and the first, second and fourth pairs of legs have a brush of bristles on the tibia. The third pair of legs is the shortest with no brush. The abdomen is elongated (long oval) and is cream to yellow with the caudal section (towards the tail end) black or blue with speckles infusing forward into the yellow. There is a huge variation of abdominal patterns with the amount of black or blue on the abdomen. The key feature to identify this species is the black legs and window pattern ventrally.

Est une espèce d'insectes hétéroptères de la famille des Pentatomidae, de la sous-famille des Podopinae et du genre Graphosoma. Très fréquent en Europe, il est souvent confondu avec son cousin, le graphosome rayé, nord-africain.
La face dorsale de cette espèce est rayée de bandes longitudinales rouges et noires : six bandes noires sur le pronotum, dont deux se prolongent sur la tête et quatre se prolongent sur le scutellum. Les bords latéraux de l'abdomen (le connexivum) sont tachetés de rouge et de noir. Les pattes sont globalement noires avec parfois une tache rouge sur les tibias (chez la sous-espèce nominale), ce qui le distingue de Graphosoma lineatum dont les pattes sont entièrement rouges.Le scutellum est plus large et long que chez la plupart des punaises pentatomides et recouvre presque tout l'abdomen.

Is a species of heteropterous insects of the family Pentatomidae, of the subfamily Podopinae and of the genus Graphosoma. Very common in Europe, it is often confused with its cousin, the striped, North African graphosome.
The dorsal side of this species is striped with red and black longitudinal bands: six black bands on the pronotum, two of which extend over the head and four extend over the scutellum. The lateral edges of the abdomen (the connexivum) are speckled with red and black. The legs are generally black with sometimes a red spot on the shins (in the nominal subspecies), which distinguishes it from Graphosoma lineatum whose legs are entirely red.The scutellum is wider and longer than in most pentatomid bugs and covers almost the entire abdomen.
A male I believe, so even harder to ID (which means impossible for me!!).

In this case it is a male of the species mentioned in the previous photo, we see its different color especially in its eyes and thorax and legs, the tibias are clearly widened.
This is one of two Xylota species of hoverfly that spend their time scurrying around the leaves of late-flowering plants. The 'golden tail' identifies it as one of two species which is narrowed down to one by half-dark hind-tibia.

Enyor la mar, enyor la immensitat blavosa, la petita immensitat blavosa que semblava entrar-se’n a la cabina per l’ull de bou aquell migdia de primavera, camí de l’illa. Perdona’m. Anava a demanar-te si te’n recordes, pel gust que em diguis que sí, que tot sovint els ulls se t’amaren del blau encisador d’aquella mar nostra, i et perds entre una bafarada de records llunyans i un poc estantissos. Quants anys fa d’aquell viatge? Em renec de comptar-los perquè tal volta pugui, encara, donar-te la mida exacta d’hores, minuts i segons, com si es tractés d’un problema de matemàtiques elementals. No te n’estranyis, vaig fabricar-me un calendari d’ús personal on els anys, els mesos, els dies, començaven al mateix instant, al punt exacte en què la blavor era perfecta, el teu cos de seda, tèbia, dolça, suau la llum que s’escolava...

Añoro el mar, añoro la inmensidad azulada, la pequeña inmensidad azulada que parecía querer meterse en la cabina por el ojo de buey aquel mediodía de primavera, camino de la isla. Perdóname. Iba a pedirte si te acuerdas, sólo por el placer que me digas que sí, que a menudo los ojos se te empapan del azul fascinante de aquel mar nuestro, y te pierdes entre una bocanada de recuerdos lejanos y un poco marchitos. ¿Cuántos años hace de aquel viaje? Me niego a contarlos porque tal vez pueda, todavía, decirte el número exacto de horas, minutos y segundos, como si se tratara de un problema de matemática elemental. No te sorprendas, me construí un calendario de uso personal donde los años, los meses, los días, comenzaban en el mismo instante, en el punto exacto en el que el azul era perfecto, tu cuerpo de seda, tibia, dulce, suave la luz que se colaba...
Here's yet another type of robber fly, though this Holocephala abdominalis is tiny compared to Machimus sadyates. Consequently it consumes much smaller prey - in this case it appears to be a bitty bee. Holocephala abdominalis has a habit of perching at the tip-top of a twig or dead stem as it searches for small flying bugs to seize. Notice how the hind tibia is swollen up big at the bottom like a bad ankle sprain and that key feature helps us identify this small species in the field.
A sun fly feeding on hogweed in Port Sunlight River Park. The shot shows the hind tibia clearly and it is only about one third dark confirming the species. It's over two-thirds dark for Helophilus hybridus.
Not a bug of course, but a Dronefly (Eristalis tenax) showing the camera not just its butt but also its characteristically banana -shaped rear tibias, or should that be tibiae? HBBBT
Trabajo de investigación:
Por encima del altar se encuentra pintada una cruz " T " TAU, y en el lateral derecho dos aspas de cuatro palas en rojo. Al pie de la cruz un cráneo y una tibia.
La Cruz Tau es un símbolo representativo de la Orden del Temple.
Al parecer si se colocaba sobre la custodia de una ermita o en la parte superior del altar de la iglesia o parroquia quiere decir: “Iniciación Superior”.
Solo se que no se nada, si alguien puede dar un poco mas de luz, que lo diga, son datos de la red

Research work:
Above the altar is painted a cross "T" Tau, on the right side and two four-bladed vane in red. At the foot of the cross, a skull and tibia.
The Tau Cross is a symbol representing the Order of the Temple.
Apparently if you put on the custody of a chapel or at the top of the altar of the church or parish means "High Initiation".
Only not all, if someone can give a little more light, let him say, are network data

Leaf katydids, also known as true katydids, are insects that are renowned for their exceptional leaf mimicry. They belong to the family Tettigoniidae, commonly known as katydids or bush crickets. These insects are particularly adept at camouflaging themselves to resemble leaves, even those that are chewed, torn, or partially decayed, making them extremely difficult to spot in their natural habitats.
Notably, katydid ears (tympana) are located on the first pair of legs, just below the knee. This photo clearly shows one of these ears (the pink, oval structure on the upper part of the tibia).

So as I sit here posting this, my sweet 13 week old puppy is fast asleep, propped against me for comfort.
This is not the shot I planned for this week. I was going to use the puppy in the shot... But not this.
Yesterday, while playing, she slipped and fell and broke her right back tibia. So now she is in pain, stressed, splinted and medicated. And myself and my One are also in pain, stressed and wish we WERE medicated.
I took this photo from as 'up high' as I could get my arm without disturbing Telula, who is finally sleeping again. She's even doing that creepy, 'sleeping with her eyes open' thing.
Please pray she heals quickly with no complications and that Tony & I emotionally get through what will be a tough few weeks.

Portrait of a longhorn beetle with orange hairs on the tibia (Sphingnotus dunningi, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae). Collection specimen from Indonesia (C. Moluccas, Buru island., lake Ranau, near Wagrahi vill., ca. 1000-1200m alt., Nov. 2019).
Studio work, dry specimen, 92 images (focus bracketing), assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap & Pmax). Canon EOS M6 mark II, EF 100mm macro 1:2.8L IS USM; ISO-100, f/2.8, 2.5 sec, -1step, natural light.
Summer is on the way out when katydids start to sing so enjoy the warm August weather while it lasts! By the way, only male fork-tailed bush katydids sing, by rubbing their wings together, in order to attract females like this one for mating. Females hear the males singing through their ears that are located on the front tibia. Zoom in and you can see the tympanum there that looks like a little oblong hole in the brown leg section. This female fork-tailed bush katydid uses that pretty pink ovipositor to slip her eggs between the layers of a leaf along its edge where they will spend the winter before hatching out the following spring. Baby bush katydids feed on a variety of plant leaves as they grow, molt and gradually mature through the summer season. This female is not fully grown yet as her wings are still very small.
One of the less common (but by no means rare) species of Helophilus sometimes known as the marsh tiger hoverfly. She differs from the commonest - the sunfly or Helophilus pendulus - by having most of the hind tibia coloured dark brown.

Female Condylostylus, one genus of long-legged flies. Tiny, less than 1/4 inch long, iridescent bronze and green fly perched on a Wild Cucumber leaf. Home, Regina, Saskatchewan. 29 July 2018. Finally got an ID today on 6 Nov 2021!
Numbers
About eight North American species. The caudatus group in a stricter sense contains three species, one each for North, Central, and South America (with some overlap).
Identification
Wings unmarked. Branch of M right angled. Vein M1 more gradually curved than in most species of the genus. Male femora usually black except at tips, occasionally yellow. Female femora yellow. Tibiae yellow, except hind tibia darkened at tip. Face usually with white hair. Mid basitarsus of male usually with dense row of curved bristles. Tail of male with conspicuous long hairs in some species. Males have a more tapering abdomen than is typical in the genus. Female tibia usually with a strong bristle near one third of length, and another bristle or set of bristles at tip. Males of most species with a very long bristle near tip of mid tibia.
In the stricter sense, the caudatus group refers to the species with bristles on mid basitarsus and long hairs on tail (caudatus and graenicheri in North America).
Range
Eastern North America to South America. Also recorded from California, but probably absent from mountains of West.
Female Identification
Tapering abdomen and yellow femora. At the moment, we have almost no knowledge of how to identify these to species. bugguide.net/node/view/479965

Capela dos Ossos - A Capela dos Ossos é um dos mais conhecidos monumentos de Évora, em Portugal. Está situada na Igreja de São Francisco. Foi construída no século XVII por iniciativa de três monges que, dentro do espírito da altura, pretendeu transmitir a mensagem da transitoridade da vida, tal como se depreende do célebre aviso à entrada: “Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos”. A capela, construída no local do primitivo dormitório fradesco é formada por 3 naves de 18,70m de comprimento e 11m de largura, entrando a luz por três pequenas frestas do lado esquerdo. As suas paredes e os oito pilares estão “decorados” com ossos e caveiras ligados por cimento pardo. As abóbadas são de tijolo rebocado a branco, pintadas com motivos alegóricos à morte. É um monumento de uma arquitectura penitencial de arcarias ornamentadas com filas de caveiras, cornijas e naves brancas. Foi calculado à volta de 5000, provenientes dos cemitérios, situados em igrejas e conventos da cidade. A capela era dedicada ao Senhor dos Passos, imagem conhecida na cidade como Senhor Jesus da Casa dos Ossos, que impressiona pela expressividade com que representa o sofrimento de Cristo, na sua caminhada com a cruz até ao calvário.
Chapel of Bones - “Évora is the finest example of a city of the golden age of Portugal after the destruction of Lisbon by the earthquake of 1755'' Inscription criteria on the List of the UNESCO World Heritage (1985) and one of the most macabre sites to visit in Évora is the S. Francisco Church which contains the Chapel of Bones, a chapel which is totally covered with human bones. The cheery message above the chapel reads: “We bones in here wait for yours to join us”; Inside the macabre chapel, bones line the walls as five thousand skulls stare blankly at you from walls and arches. This ghoulish foolishness was the work of three monks who thought it would be easier to meditate on the transitory nature of material things in the undeniable presence of death. The bones of the monks responsible for the interior decorating are in a small white coffin inside the chapel. The Chapel of Bones “Capela dos Ossos” is decoratively lined with the skulls, femurs and tibias of thousands of the dead who's remains were ransacked by monks and nuns for the purpose of creating a fearsome monument to religious and soulful purification and mortality. In one corner, the mummified remains of a man and his infant son were supposedly hang from the boned wall as a reminder of fidelity.
