- 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 returning it to the nest or hive.
The corbicula is a polished cavity surrounded by a fringe of hairs, into which the bee collects the pollen.
A honey bee moistens the forelegs with its protruding tongue and brushes the pollen that has collected on its head, body and forward appendages to the hind legs. The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs.
The pollen is carried back to the hive, where it is a protein source for brood-rearing.
- Eupatorium maculatum 'Atropurpureum'(Joe-Pye Weed) are bold, architectural specimen plants, perfect for making a statement in the border. Plants form huge clumps of coarse green leaves, bearing enormous umbrella-like heads of rosy-purple flowers in late summer. This selection is very tall ( 200-250 cm) and wide, the flowers held on deep purple stems.
A magnet to butterflies and bees. Excellent for cutting.

- Bij de honingbij zijn de achterpoten het best ontwikkeld; dit potenpaar heeft een aantal structuren die de honingbij in staat stelt om grote hoeveelheden stuifmeel te verzamelen en te vervoeren. Het stuifmeel wordt samengebracht in het stuifmeelkorfje.
Het stuifmeelkorfje is gelegen in de scheen van de poot, aan de buitenzijde. Het stuifmeel wordt in de korf gebracht door bewegingen van de poten. Een deel van de poten, de basitarsus genoemd, is voorzien van rijen haartjes zodat een borstel wordt gevormd.
De bij veegt op een bloem het stuifmeel in de omgeving bij elkaar en stopt het in het korfje Om het geheel wat plakkeriger te maken wordt honing uit de honingmaag opgegeven en aan de stuifmeelkorrels toegevoegd. Terwijl de bij naar een volgende bloem vliegt worden de achterpoten druk bewogen waarbij het stuifmeel door de borstel in het stuifmeelkorfje wordt gedrukt. Af en toe wordt het wat aangestampt om te zorgen dat het stuifmeel in het korfje blijft zitten.
- Eupatorium maculatum 'Atropurpureum' is een vrij robuuste, bossig opgaande (2 - 2,5 meter) vasteplant met lancetvormige, getande, donkergroene bladeren aan paarsrode stengels. In het nederlands heet de plant, purper leverkruid of koninginnekruid. Deze eupatorium bloeit van juli tot september met kleine purperroze bloemhoofjes (per 15) gegroepeerd in afgeplatte bloempluimen. Leverkruid houdt van een zonnige standplaats en doet het goed in iedere voldoende vruchtbare en vochtige grond. De plant is goed winterhard en trekt veel vlinders en bijen aan.
In wheelchair after being attacked by Pitbull, broke tibia and wrist on left side. The side my stroke affected.

Tibia-piece at 15,5x magnification.
I suppose the fine hairs are sensors and used to identify the surface, while the barbs (or spines), which point backward, are used to hold onto surfaces. Due to the large muscle in the hind leg, the insect works the spines to take hold of the surface so it may leap into the air and fly.

The bees deposit pollen on a cavity in the tibia of hind leg, called corbicula . Only female bees have the corbicula, one of the most important pollinators.
As abelhas depositam o pólen em uma cavidade na parte da tíbia da pata traseira, chamada corbícula. Somente as abelhas fêmeas possuem a corbícula, sendo um dos insetos polinizadores mais importantes.

Aqui os presento a Tibia, le he puesto unos ojillos porque creo que le dan más expresión y es un poco más grotesca ;)
....only the distal third of the back tibia is dark so it is H pendulus.

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. A bee moistens the forelegs with its protruding tongue and brushes the pollen that has collected on its head, body and forward appendages to the hind legs. The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs. Foraging bees bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who pack the pollen into cells with their heads.

Huge amount of "redundant tissue" extending below the end of my tibia. Fortunately it doesn't affect using my prosthesis.
Distinguished from the similar White-legged Damselfly by the relatively broad tibia with no black lines, and the less extensive dark markings on segments 6 and 7 of the abdomen

France; Brenne, Lignac 19/9/16. Eyes have stripe of long hairs. Broad black facial stripe. Curved and swollen hind tibia.
Pop this morning. He's had a tough few months following a bad break of his left rear tibia. That required surgery and the insertion of steel pins to knit the bone together. He's as right as rain now though. This morning he landed a dead rabbit - almost the same size as himself - at the back door. My suggestion to my wife that we have Lapin A La Cocette for dinner did not go down well :-)

Yo pastor de bulevares
desataba los bancos
y sentado en la orilla corriente del paseo
dejaba divagar mis corderos escolares
Todo había cesado
Mi cuademo
única fronda del invierno
y el quiosco bien anclado entre la espuma
Yo pensaba en los lechos sin rumbo siempre frescos
para fumar mis versos y contar las estrellas
Yo pensaba en mis nubes
olas tibias del cielo
que buscan domicilio sin abatir el vuelo
Yo pensaba en los pliegues de las mañanas bellas
planchadas al revés que mi pañuelo
Pero para volar
es menester que el sol pendule
y que gire en la mano nuestra esfera armilar
Todo es distinto ya
Mi corazón bailando equivoca a la estrella
y es tal la fiebre y la electricidad
que alumbra incandescente la botella
Ni la torre silvestre
distribuye los vientos girando lentamente
ni mis manos ordeñan las horas recipientes
Hay que esperar el desfile
de las borrascas y las profecías
Hay que esperar que nazca de la luna
el pájaro mesías
Todo tiene que llegar
El oleaje del cine es igual que el del mar
Los días lejanos cruzan por la pantalla
Banderas nunca vistas perfuman el espacio
y el teléfono trae ecos de batalla
Las olas dan la vuelta al mundo
Ya no hay exploradores del polo y del estrecho
y de una enfermedad desconocida
se mueren los turistas
la guía sobre el pecho
Las olas dan la vuelta al mundo
Yo me iría con ellas
Ellas todo lo han visto
No retornan jamás ni vuelven la cabeza
almohadas desahuciadas y sandalias de Cristo
Dejadme recostado eternamente
Yo fumaré mis versos y llevaré mis nubes
por todos los caminos de la tierra y del cielo
Y cuando vuelva el sol en su caballo blanco
mi lecho equilibrado alzaré al cielo.

Rimellopsis powisii (Petit de la Saussaye, 1840)
48 mm Philippines
Famille : Rostellariidae
( Ancienne placé chez les Strombidae et dans le genre Tibia )
One of ~650 orbweaving spiders, the Shamrock Orbweaver, also called the Pumkin Spider due to its large red/orange abdomen (Araneus trifolium) will typically rebuild her web each morning. Right beside her mandibles, you'll see her palp. Also, interestingly, each large segment of her legs might sound familiar to you, starting at the tips: tarsus, metatarsus, tibia, patella, and femur. These are attached to her thorax with trochanters and coxa. In other words, Happy Halloween!
Like other members of the genus Helophilus it has black and yellow longitudinal stripes on the upper surface of its thorax. The abdomen is patterned with yellow, black and grey, and for this reason it is sometimes called the footballer. It has a black central face-stripe. It has a wing-length of 8.5 - 11.25 mm.
The tergites two and three are yellow patterned with black. The black pattern consists of a band across the apex of the tergite (on its discal part only, not extending to the sides), and stripe down the centre of the tergite, and a black band across the full width of the base. Due to the black pattern described above, the main yellow areas on these tergites are at the sides of the insect but they are fairly prominent due to their large size, and their bright colour. At the basal margin of these tergites there is usually a narrow yellow border. This border is usually slightly thicker on the third tergite, where it is also more obvious as the front of tergite four is wholly black, thus enhancing the contrast of the feature. The only other Helophilus-species having this yellow border is Helophilus hybridus, but males of such species differs from pendulus-males in the black band at base of the tergite two not extending to the sides. The yellow pattern here is usually a bright, slightly orangey yellow (unlike the paler lemon yellow of trivittatus). Tergite four is largely black, with isolated dull yellow crescentic markings on each side. Females have yellow hairs on the hind part of tergite five, unlike H. hybridus females, in which these hairs are black due to certain biological adapments.
The legs possess patterning which differ from the other species in the genus. First, the hind tibia of pendulus has at least the apical half (usually all except the basal third) pale yellow, whereas other species, such as H. hybridus and H. groenlandicus have pale yellow only on the apical third or less. The middle tibia of pendulus is wholly pale, unlike H. groenlandicus, on which it has a dark apex. The mid-tarsi have extensive dark markings on at least their distal segments, unlike trivittatus which usually has wholly pale mid-tarsi. INFO THANKS to ALAN THORNHILL
Apis mellifera. There are at least 20 recognized “races” of Western honey bee here in Central Florida.
The field bees collect pollen to bring back to the hive for use as food for larvae and adults; they scrape pollen into special areas on their rear legs called corbiculae (pollen baskets) and form it into lumps. When they do, the bees may inadvertently sprinkle one flower with pollen from another, causing cross-pollination – a phenomenon that is a necessary step to reproduction in about 250,000 flowering plant species worldwide. Honey bees provide a substantial amount of the pollination needed for at least 13 major crops grown in Florida.
This shot shows the pollen basket on it's leg better than the one I used for MM.

The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs of the four related lineages of apid bees that used to comprise the family Apidae: the honey bees, bumblebees, stingless bees, and orchid bees. The corbicula ("little basket") is a polished concavity surrounded by a fringe of hairs, into which the pollen is placed; most other bees possess a structure called the scopa, which is similar in function, but is a dense mass of branched hairs into which pollen is pressed, with pollen grains held in place in the narrow spaces between the hairs. A honey bee moistens the forelegs with a protruding tongue and brushes the pollen that has collected on head, body and forward appendages to the hind legs. The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs. A single hair functions as a pin that secures the middle of the pollen load. Honey and/or nectar is used to moisten the dry pollen. The mixing of the pollen with nectar or honey changes the color of the pollen. The color of the pollen can identify the pollen source.
The pollen basket is part of the tibia on the hind legs.

Apparently, Karl von Frisch and other bee researchers have observed, individual honey bees vary in their efficiency in packing pollen into the pollen basket, some more efficient others less: it takes an individual worker bee from three to eighteen minutes to complete a pollen load and return to the hive.

Last April, at the end of an awesome outing, I broke my knee(tibia plateau). I have essentially been housebound since then.
There was nerve damage during the surgery, resulting in chronic pain, and the recovery has been slow.
I don't anticipate any exciting pictures any time soon, other than from my window.

Ctenoplectra, Unknown Blue-tailed Oil Mopping Bee, collected in Thailand by the Thailand Inventory Group for Entomological Research
Another Oil Mopping Bee, this an Asian one from Thailand rather than from Africa . Here is a good shot of the large scraper or comb this female has on her hind tibia. This comb is used after visiting flowers to remove floral oils that collect in specialized hairs located on the underside of the bee’s abdomen. In addition to the unusual oil-collecting modifications, this genus has been difficult to classify because of its tongue . As we have seen, bees can be broadly classified into Long- and Short-Tongued families based upon details of the structure of the mouthparts (not simply how long they are). Ctenoplectra has the short-tongued morphology, but has other characteristics that seem to suggest that it is actually more closely related to Long-tongued bees. So different is this genus from all other bees in the world that at one point it was placed in its own family. However, detailed study of morphology and molecules revealed its true affinities and the genus was moved into the family Apidae which contains many other genera of bees.

Further in Summer than the Birds
Pathetic from the Grass
A minor Nation celebrates
Its unobtrusive Mass.
No Ordinance be seen
So gradual the Grace
A pensive Custom it becomes
Enlarging Loneliness.
Antiquest felt at Noon
When August burning low
Arise this spectral Canticle
Repose to typify
Remit as yet no Grace
No Furrow on the Glow
Yet a Druidic Difference
Enhances Nature now
