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.

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.”
Calliptamus italicus, le criquet italien ou caloptène italien, est une espèce d'insectes orthoptères caelifères de la famille des Acrididae.
Le Criquet italien peut être très commun. Il a les tegmina (élytres) ferrugineux tachés de brun et de jaunâtre, les tibias postérieurs rouges et la base des ailes roses. Les mâles possèdent des cerques très développés en forme de pince.
On trouve les adultes de juillet à novembre.
* Longueur des mâles : 14 à 25 mm
* Longueur des femelles : 22 à 40 mm.
Les individus les plus grands fréquentent le sud de leur aire de répartition.
Calliptamus italicus, the Italian locust, is a species of 'short-horned grasshopper' belonging to the family Acrididae, subfamily Calliptaminae.
This species is native of the steppes of Central Asia, but it is also present in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in North Africa, and in the Near East.
Calliptamus italicus is a medium-sized grasshopper characterized by a significant sexual dimorphism. The adult males grow up to 14–26 millimetres (0.55–1.02 in) long, while females reach 21–40 millimetres (0.83–1.57 in) of length. This species is quite variable in size and colour. The basic coloration of the body varies from gray to brownish-reddish. The wings have a characteristic reddish or pinkish coloration, better visible when the insect is in flight. Quite evident is the dilating membrane ('pallium') of the subgenital plate of males.

Der Geißklee-Bläuling (Plebejus argus, häufig auch Plebeius argus geschrieben, auch Argus-Bläuling genannt, ist ein Tagfalter aus der Familie der Bläulinge (Lycaenidae). 2008 wurde er zum Schmetterling des Jahres gekürt. Die Flügelspannweite dieser kleinen Falter beträgt zwischen 20 und 30 Millimetern. Die Männchen sind oberseits Azurblau gefärbt und am Flügelsaum bräunlich mit weißem gefransten Rand.[2] Ihre Tibia der Vorderbeine besitzen einen kräftigen Dorn. Die Weibchen sind auf der Flügeloberseite braun und haben auf den Hinterflügeln orange Flecken im Bereich des Flügelsaums. Die Unterseite beider Geschlechter ist hellgrau mit schwarzen Flecken, welche auf den Hinterflügeln ins grünliche übergehen, und orangen Flecken am Flügelrand. Der Körper ist oberseits blaugrau und unterseits heller graublau gefärbt.[2] Wegen der geringen Unterschiede in Zeichnung, Färbung und Form wurden zahlreiche Formen und Unterarten beschrieben (s. u.). Der Geißklee-Bläuling kann mit weiteren Silberfleck-Bläulingen verwechselt werden. Für die sichere Unterscheidung dieser Arten ist eine Genitalbestimmung notwendig.
Pimpla rufipes can reach a length of about 15 mm (0.59 in) with a rather slender body. These wasps are generally black with bright orange legs. The hind legs are larger than the other pairs. The ovipositor is straight, quite short and thick, however the male Pimpla rufipes does not have an ovipositor. These wasps are often mistaken for Apechthis compunctor due to having similar size, and the males of both of the species are indistinguishable from photographs. The main key difference between these two species is the ovipositor: Pimpla rufipes females have a straight ovipositor while Apechthis compunctor females have curved ovipositors.
The front wing of Pimpla rufipes is 5.5 to 15 mm long. Its hind tibia is without a pale submedian band and the abdomen is finely mat to subpolished, usually rather closely dotted with tiny holes. Its first tergite is long, with a prominent dorsal hump centered just beyond the middle. The upper valve of ovipositor is also not or only weakly flattened.
Pimpla rufipes have preferences in choosing their hosts that are affected by various factors. Research was conducted on cylinders which represent the hosts Pimpla rufipes would normally puncture. The first factor is the texture of the host; smooth cylinders were punctured more often than cylinders that had been roughened with sandpaper. The second factor is colour; the wasps discriminated between yellow and blue cylinders and could remember to associate the colours as a presence of a host, where blue was inherently preferred over yellow.The last known factor is whether or not a cylinder/host is open or closed ended, where only cylinders that were close ended were frequently punctured. These factors are tested by the female wasp using its antennae which send vibrations to make the object resonate before determining if the host will make for a suitable oviposition site. It is still unknown how these vibrations are created from the antennae, and the antennae are not utilized as drumsticks. However it is known that the wasp does not use a stridulatory organ to generate these noises. This is all part of Pimpla rufipes exploratory behaviour, and acoustic probing allow the females to find and locate prey.
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.

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.
Having seen this species only once before in 2022, in 2025 I set out to deliberately find it again. This involved looking closely at all the dark bumble bees I could find. I managed to see it twice, in different locations, but both times on red clover. The females are quite similar to the common red-tailed bumble bee (B. lapidarius) with the following differences: red hairs on the hind tibia, more compact build, more elongated and slender face and a more shaggy appearance. These are quite tricky traits to judge, when the bees are moving quickly, so a lot of photos are needed for a positive id. In the mountain regions of Europe there are additional similar species.
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.
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.

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.

The ossuary at the Chiesa di San Bernardino alle Ossa in Milan. Apparently most of the bones are from the 12th century.
This genus comprises 11 rather oval saldids which have an entirely dark pronotum and forewings which completely overlap. There are several very similar species which are often difficult to identify.
In S. saltatoria, the most commonly encountered species, there is a dark streak on the centre of the fore tibia which is not continuous with the dark base and apex. There are at least two pale spots along the costal margin, although the pattern on forewings can be very variable and the marginellus form can resemble S. opacula.
A predatory species found commonly alongside waterways, ponds and ditches across the UK.

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...

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...
No other butterfly is quite like the Zebra with its bold black and white pattern with a red racing stripe and red antennae.
One of the first butterflies on the wings in the Spring. May be encountered fluttering around as early as late March in our area. In successive broods this species displays even bolder black stripes and longer tails.
The preferred habitat are bottomland forest edges with the one and only host plant, the Paw Paw (Asimina triloba). It loves to nectar on flowers with its short proboscis (actually grotesquely shot for the size of the butterfly). Males may be seen puddling with other butterflies. The Zebra never shops moving, fluttering its wings shaped for quick maneuvering.
Notice the one outlier color. The butterfly's (legs) tibia are green. See next shot for more direct view of its legs.

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

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

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.

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.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is way beyond all my expectations, so thank you all!

Senja is located along the Troms county coastline with Finnsnes as the closest town. Senja is connected to the mainland by the Gisund Bridge. The municipalities located on Senja are Lenvik (part of which is on the mainland), Berg, Torsken, and Tranøy. Senja had 7782 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
The north and western coasts of Senja are facing the open sea. Here, steep and rugged mountains rise straight from the sea, with some fishing villages (like Gryllefjord, Husøy) wherever there is some lowland. The eastern and southern parts of the island are milder, with rounder mountains, forests, rivers and agriculture land.
En Fuente Caputa, donde tengo muchas ganas de volver, hay una buena población de esta especie, entre otras, y bastantes posibilidades de poderlos fotografiar.
En la imagen un macho, inconfundible por esas tibias anchas, los ojos azules y el abdomen blanquecino.

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
It would be incredibly inefficient for a bee to have to travel back to its nest after visiting each flower. So, to be more efficient female bees have a special apparatus for holding and transporting pollen. The pollen collecting apparatus in apid bees, which include honey bees and bumblebees, is commonly called a ‘pollen basket’ or corbicula. This region is located on the tibia of the hind legs and consists of hairs surrounding a concave region. After the bee visits a flower, she begins grooming herself and brushes pollen gathered on her body down toward her hind legs and packs the pollen into her pollen basket. A little nectar mixed with the pollen keeps it all together, and the hairs in the pollen basket hold it in place.
En la imagen podemos ver a un macho inmaduro de Platycnemis latipes.
Lo encontré en la ribera del Cabriel muy cerca del puente de Cristinas.
El brillo de sus alas y el color de sus ojos nos delatan que hace poco que ha emergido. Sus tibias anchas, se les conoce por patiplumas, nos lleva a su identificación. Se puede observar la genitalia secundaria en la cara ventral del segundo segmento abdominal lo que demuestra que es un macho.

In the image we can see an immature male of Platycnemis latipes.
I found it on the banks of the Cabriel very close to the Cristinas bridge.
The shine of its wings and the color of its eyes reveal that it has recently emerged. Their wide tibias, known as patiplumas, lead us to their identification. The secondary genitalia can be observed on the ventral surface of the second abdominal segment, which shows that it is a male.
