Meadow Plant Bug, Leptopterna ferrugata, (male).
Family: Miridae
Leptopterna species are large and common grass bugs which often have reddish or orange-yellow forewings. They have a transverse furrow between the eyes and the legs and antennae are covered in long dark hairs.
There are two very similar species, both of which are sexually dimorphic. Males are always macropterous (fully-winged) and females usually brachypterous (partly-winged).
Male: Forewings usually pinkish-brown. The length of the 2nd antennal segment is roughly equal to the 3rd and 4th combined.
Female: The 2nd antennal segment is wider than the base of the front tibia.
A common and widespread bug throughout the UK, feeding on a variety of grasses; more common in drier habitats than Leptopterna dolabrata.
Missing front right tibia and antenna, will need some luck to survive. Photo taken in Los Angeles by Evelyn Mars.

Helophilus Pendulus, size, - 12mm
This hoverfly has a black stripe down its face and the basal half of the hind tibia is brownish yellow, April - October in many open habitats, also called the Sun Fly as it likes to bask, favours damp habitats.
The larvae inhabit rotting matter such as liquid manure,
Hover flies are the most easily recognizable of the flies due to their often wasp-like or bee-like appearance and their ability to hover.
These superb aerial acrobats can move in all directions, including backwards, and can hold a fixed position in the air even in gusty conditions.
The adults are typically slender-bodied with black and yellow or white stripes; some are stout and hairt.
The eyes are large and in males meet on top of the head.
The wings have a characteristic false vein running down the middle ( a simple thickening of the wing membrane ) and a false margin at the edge ( the joining together of the outer wing veins ).
Despite the warning, wasp-like markings, and the bee-like appearance of many species, hover flies are harmless nectar feeders.
The larvae of a few species can be pests of cultivated bulbs.

The quintessential yellow and black striped hoverflies, Syrphus species are a common site in any park or garden. There are three common and widespread species in the UK, ribesii, vitripennis and torvus, whilst a fourth species, rectus, has a poorly understood distribution having recently been added to the UK list. Syrphus species have long hairs on the dorsal surface of the squama (basal segment of wing) but this can be difficult to see, leading to confusion with other species which bear moustached bands, such as Eupeodes nitens and Parasyrphus species. All Syrphus species have at least the basal half of the hind tibia yellow.
This ichneumon wasp we found wandering across the kitchen floor should really be tucked away somewhere safe this time of year. She'd clearly been disturbed from her over-wintering spot, and spent a while cleaning herself, using a spur on her fore legs to preen her antenna by pulling it through a notch in the tibia covered in hairs.

Sin embargo he visto a Cadenet
Besarme los labios y llorar

Last year I broke my tibia & fibia pretty badly, got something called compartment syndrome and had 5 ops to fix it all. Still have a nail running from my knee to my ankle and with all the driving I've been doing for work it's all flared up again.
This is about as inspired as I could get today, back to full power next week hopefully.

ENGLISH:
Bagpipes are a class of musical instrument, aerophones, using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. Though the Scottish Great Highland bagpipes have the greatest visibility in the English-speaking world, bagpipes have been played for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, around the Persian Gulf, Northern Africa, and North America. The term "bagpipe" is equally correct in the singular or plural, although in the English language, pipers usually refer to the Bagpipes as "the pipes", "a set of pipes" or "a stand of pipes."
The evidence for pre-Roman era bagpipes is still uncertain but several textual and visual clues have been suggested. The Oxford History of Music says that a sculpture of bagpipes has been found on a Hittite slab at Euyuk in the Middle East, dated to 100 BC. Several authors identify the Ancient Greek askaulos with the bagpipe. In the 2nd century AD, Suetonius described the Roman emperor Nero as a player of the tibia utricularis. Dio Chrysostom wrote in the 1st century of a contemporary sovereign (possibly Nero) who could play a pipe (tibia, Roman reedpipes similar to Greek and Etruscan instruments) with his mouth as well as by tucking a bladder beneath his armpit. It has often been suggested that the bagpipes were first brought to the British Isles during the period of Roman rule.
Dozens of types of bagpipes today are widely spread across Europe and the Middle East, as well as through much of the former British Empire. The name bagpipe has almost become synonymous with its best-known form, the Great Highland bagpipe, overshadowing the great number and variety of traditional forms of bagpipe. Despite the decline of these other types of pipes over the last few centuries, in recent years many of these pipes have seen a resurgence or revival as musicians have sought them out; for example, the Irish piping tradition, which by the mid 20th century had declined to a handful of master players is today alive, well, and flourishing a situation similar to that of the Asturian gaita, the Galician gaita, the Portuguese Gaita transmontana, the Aragonese gaita de boto, Northumbrian smallpipes, the Breton biniou, the Balkan gaida, the Romanian cimpoi, the Black Sea tulum, the Scottish smallpipes and pastoral pipes, as well as other varieties.
Traditionally, one of the purposes of the bagpipe was to provide music for dancing. This has declined with the growth of dance bands, recordings, and the decline of traditional dance. In turn, this has led to many types of pipes developing a performance-led tradition, and indeed much modern music based on the dance music tradition played on bagpipes is no longer suitable for use as dance music.

ESPAÑOL:
La primera referencia documentada a una gaita se encuentra en una losa hitita hallada en Asia Menor que data del año 1000 a. de C. Ya en el siglo I de nuestra era, las gaitas existÃan en muchÃsimos paÃses, desde la India hasta España, pasando por Egipto y Francia. También resulta evidente que la gaita era un instrumento muy común en las demás islas británicas antes de su primera aparición documentada en lo que hoy es Escocia. Cómo y cuándo llegaron a este paÃs es un tema muy polémico, y mientras unas teorÃas afirman que la trajeron los romanos, otras reclaman su procedencia de Irlanda.
En Escocia surgieron diversos tipos de gaita, pero serÃa la "piob-mhor", o "gran gaita", caracterÃstica de las Tierras Altas, la que acabarÃa convirtiéndose en instrumento nacional. Esta gaita se sopla a pulmón; el fuelle, tradicionalmente de piel de oveja, se fabrica hoy dÃa en cuero, caucho u otros materiales sintéticos. Los roncones se elaboraban originalmente con hueso o marfil, y ahora con maderas nobles. La melodÃa se toca por el puntero con lengüeta que parte del fuelle, mientras que los tres roncones que descansan en el hombro del gaitero producen el bajo que acompaña a la melodÃa.
Los estilos musicales que se tocan con la gaita de las Tierras Altas son fundamentalmente dos: la variedad de marchas y bailes (march, strathspey & reel) que se componÃan para acontecimientos sociales o militares, y la variedad "sinfónica" (piobaireachd, pronunciado "pibroj"). Estas piezas constituyen la "música clásica" de la gaita, una forma artÃstica comparable a la de cualquier otro paÃs, y se compusieron en su mayorÃa un siglo antes de que se inventara el piano, aunque no se escribieron en partitura. En definitiva, pese a no haber inventado la gaita, los escoceses pueden reivindicarla como propia por haberla mantenido viva como parte de su tradición musical y haberla convertido en uno de los sÃmbolos más destacados de su cultura.

Scientific name: Leptoglossus occidentalis
Size: Approx 20mm long
Distribution: Found throughout the UK
Months seen: April to October
Life Span: Approximately 12 months
Habitat: Hedgerows, woodland edges, parks and gardens
Food: Seeds of conifers and pines
Special features: Western Conifer Seed Bugs (Leptoglossus occidentalis) are native to the USA, but were accidentally introduced into the UK in 1999.
On each side of the body (about halfway down the back) there is a white diamond shaped marking - just next to the wing membrane. The edges of the wings have alternating white and brown markings. On the hind legs there is a paddle, or leaf shaped swelling on the tibia. This is where they get their other name of 'leaf-footed bugs'.
Western Conifer Seed Bugs are attracted to light, and sometimes come into houses in the autumn to hibernate. They make a buzzing noise as they fly. When disturbed they can give off an unpleasant smell, and can also use their proboscis as a spike.

Bothrogonia is a genus of leafhopper with a large number of species distributed across the Old World. They can be told apart from others in their tribe by the pattern of setae on the hind tibia.
The Pollen basket or corbicula (plural corbiculae) is part of the tibia on the hind legs. They use the structure in harvesting pollen and returning it to the nest or hive. Flower is an Aster à frikartii

Family : Papilionidae
Sub-Family : Papilioninae
Species : Graphium sarpedon sarpedon
This is probably the most widespread of the oriental species and is found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. In Australia it is known as the Blue Triangle. It is a medium size butterfly with a wingspan of 60-70mm. The upper wing pattern is similar to the underside but without the red markings, and the sexes are similarly alike. An unusual feature is that the tibia and tarsus sections of the leg are coloured blue. They are strong and agile fliers. The males are avid 'puddlers' and like other Graphium species they have an interesting method of carrying out this practice. They suck up the water and extract the minerals in the normal way but in addition continually expel the excess water from the anus. This has the effect of dissolving more minerals from the ground which they then re-imbibe. They are sometimes seen in quite large puddling 'groups' with other Graphium and non-Graphium species. Females are more elusive and usually only seen when they are looking for egg-laying sites.
Habitat is a wide range of forested areas up to around 1500m asl. Females lay their eggs singly on young saplings of the host plant and the complete lifecycle takes about 26 days from egg to adult. The larval foodplants are mainly from the aromatic Lauraceae family and in Thailand include Cinnamomum camphora, Cinnamomum porrectus, Litsea cubeba, Litsea glutinosa, and Persea kursii.

TONGUE. This is Euglossa imperialis it, like the rest of its clade of shiny orchid bees, has a long tongue, actually ... this species has a particularly long tongue even compared to other orchid bees. Pretty simple. It sucks nectar with that long tongue from deep throated flowers that other bees often can't reach (because they usually have dinky lapping tongues). As a male it does not gather pollen, but it does have a trick that other bees don't have in that tucked into its expanded hind tibia is a little sachet (note: this is not a technical term) that it stashes various smelly oils and other chemicals to woo orchid bee women. In the American humid tropics they are big time common (as a group). Tim McMahon (whose gets his bank as a government engineer, but in his heart is a complete bee head) collected this in Costa Rica on his annual pilgrimage.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
