The Wheel Bug Rap
Said (or sung) with a funky beat
Your nose is a hypodermic needle,
Your back has wings to fly,
Your legs have hooks to grasp your prey,
And hold them till they die.
(Chorus)
They call you wheel bug,
Cause your back is a wheel,
It's shape is kinda rough.
You're a real bug!
With wings, six legs,
And lots of other insect stuff.
Your head is shaped like two arrows,
Right On It ... a beak and three eyes,
With two feelers of red, you're a sight to dread!
Mr. Wheel Bug ... you're a scary guy.
(Chorus)
Your beak extends like a switch blade,
It's pointed and hollow and kills!
It's a real poison pen ... but there's more!
It's a straw to drink your meals.
(Chorus)
Wheel bug you're so ... prehistoric,
It's good you're only ... one inch long,
I'm glad you're a bug and I'm not one,
And that's the end of this song.
About the wheel bug: The wheel bug is a predatory insect that is about 1 1/2 inches (32mm) long. Its preferred prey are caterpillars and bees. It has a sharp retractable beak (rostrum) that can inject toxin and digestive enzymes. It then reverses flow and sucks up the insides of its prey. It's not a very fast mover or flyer but then I doubt it has many enemies because its venomous bite is said to be quite painful. It looks like a small dinosaur. They range from Ontario to Florida, west to Kansas and south into Mexico. They are in the same family (reduviidae) as ambush and assassin bugs. The right antenna is partially amputated in this ambush bug. Wonder if that gives them vertigo.

Helophilus pendulus. Family:- Syrphidae
Other names Sunfly, Footballer (due to the striped 'shirt')
Helophilus means "sun lover" and is very apt as these hoverflies only appear in bright sunlight.
The members of the genus Helophilus all have black and yellow/white longitudinal stripes on the thorax and are therefore easily identified at the genus level but it is somewhat more difficult to identify these hoverflies down to species. Differences in abdominal markings and leg colouration are diagnostic but H. pendulus is the only one with a black, central face stripe. The black on the hind tibia is restricted to the distal third and the mid tibia is all yellow.
H. pendulus is the most common of the genus found in Britain and as its larvae are aquatic and feed on organic detritus it is found around a variety of water habitats from large lakes to muddy puddles. They can even be found in wet cow dung and manure.
The adult (imago) feeds at flowers and can be found well away from water in most sunny situations along roadsides, gardens, field margins etc from April to November but are most abundant from June to August and often seen resting on a leaf.

Not entirely sure... whether this Tiny Black Fly - perhaps 6-7 mm - is 'vespertina' or 'umbratica' or even whether 'Hebecnema' at all. Anyway, it's now been identified as Phania funesta by Stephane Lebrun; see below: many thanks!
But it was fun anyway to find out more about that curious generic name 'Hebecnema' which I first thought it was. It was coined by Johann Andreas Schnabl (1838-1912), apparently for a talk to the Russian Entomological Society and published in 1889 in the Horae Societatis Entomologiae Rossicae 23, 331. The section on Hebecnema is headed by two Greek words: Ἥβη and κνήμη (= Hebe and cnema), signifying in Latin "pubes" and "tibia"; hence the "Tibial Hairiness" of my title above. In the long description which follows, Schnabl remarks on our Fly's 'villosité des tibias', in reference, I think to the longish tibial hairs which you can just make out in this photo. Unless, of course, I'm mistaken that this is Hebecnema at all...
Here it is on Geranium molle, Dove's Foot Cranesbill on a chilly late afternoon in Zeeburg, Amsterdam. And just admire its wonderful pollen!
Here is a tiny Crab Spider (Thomisidae) on a native Mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana, Asteraceae) in the canyon today. This is not one of the flower-loving Mecaphesa spiders that I've been showing lately, but something else. It resembles a Ground Crab Spider in the genus Xysticus, but I think it's more likely genus Ozyptila with stubby front legs with just two spines on the first tibia.

into a pollen basket on the tibia of the hind legs......quote from More Than Honey....Markus Imhoof and Claus-Peter Lieckfeld.
Another attempt at 'identify the hoverfly'. The loop in the wing vein is there so it's Eristalini tribe. As far as I can see the face has no black stripe, the lower back leg parts (tibia and metatarsus) are the same thickness and the wing stigmas are diffuse. These are characteristics of E. arbustorum, but if it isn't the case please let me know.

Male of the Migratory Grasshopper, Melanoplus sanguinipes. This, ironically, is the ideal perspective on male Melanoplus spp. The rear end tells you everything. In this case, the notch at the tip, and the dimple beneath it, are diagnostic for the species. All other characters can be unreliable, including color of hind tibia (shin). Chico Basin Ranch, Colorado, August 6.
Aside from the tibia, the Montpellier sanctuary of Saint Roch has a piece of his skull, which the good caretakers allowed us to venerate after the Pilgrims Mass we celebrated there.

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 fully-winged and females usually partly-winged.
Male: Colour darkens with age, from black and yellow to black and orange-red The one in this photo).
The length of the 2nd antennal segment is much greater than the 3rd and 4th combined.
Female: The 2nd antennal segment is thinner than the base of the front tibia.
Feeds on a variety of grasses - neither of these are on grass though.
We had an accident with a slide this weekend and Ethan ended up with a fractured tibia. He is doing as well as can be expected for an 18 month old in a cast. He doesn't understand what is going on and it is hot enough already. He also has caught a cough and has had a temperature for the last 24 hours. Poor Ethan.
The accident happened at church and I was right there with him on the slide (I will never go down a slide again). It was awful, but Shane and I were pretty calm and went straight the ER. I had a feeling it was broken. We had a pretty good experience at the ER, having to take a few X-rays, lay still for a shot of Morphine, and lay still again to have a cast put on a little leg, not to mention the part at the end when they split the cast open a little bit to allow for swelling with a loud saw type thing and were out of there in about three hours.
We went to Children's Hospital today and saw a pediatric orthopedist. The cast will be on until July 27th. No bathing, no walking. It is going to be interesting. I know that very soon, he will have adapted and will be more mobile, probably crawling, and back to as normal as possible, but the first 24 hours were a little heart breaking. He had a rough time sleeping last night and just seemed so miserable. This afternoon was better as he started playing more and smiling more.
The whole experience has showed me how loved Ethan (and Shane and I) are. Our church and family have been awesome, with all the calls and prayers. One of our pastors actually showed up at the ER after the service ended with some food for us and kept us company while we waited. Our church family and our family family are awesome. Thanks everyone. We love you and appreciate you so much!

"voy a desligar las tibias de este diábolo sombrío
que hay veces que no se acuerda
de que sigo siendo un niño,
y sé que no habrá sedales cuando te hiera mi ausencia,
ojalá me quieras libre, ojalá me quieras,
yo te querré deshecho, te querré en la roca viva,
te querré en todos los versos
que no quieran tus pupilas,
yo te querré en la acequia, te querré en la cumbre fría,
te querré cuando el fantasma de tu voz me haga recordar" Kutxi Romero

The females of the two Platycnemis species to be found in Portugal can look very similar when teneral/immature. The best way to tell them apart is the presence or lack of the flattened hind tibia. If lacking, as with this individual, then it's acutipennis. Near Couce, Valongo, Portugal. 2015-06-05.

The Red-legged grasshopper belongs to the genus Melanoplus, which is a large class of grasshoppers, and in some cases migratory "locusts", found in North America. A common name is spurthroat grasshoppers (or "spur-throated grasshoppers"), but this more typically refers to members of the related subfamily Catantopinae.
The Red-legged Grasshopper ranges from British Columbia and New Brunswick south to Georgia and southern California. The range continues into Mexico, taking in most of that country south to the western Yucatán. The species is not found in Florida or the coastal plain of nearby states; it is also missing from the coast of southern California and from Baja California.
Habitat is grassy and weedy places, particularly sunny, moist, low areas. They can be found in meadows and prairies, vacant lots, yards, along roadsides, in river flood plains and in cultivated fields, old fields and crop borders.
It is medium-sized (at approximately 1 - 1 1/4 inches (2.5 - 3.2 cm) in length) and a strong flyer, often flying 30 to 40 feet when flushed. It is the most abundant species of grasshopper in the eastern United States.
The Red-legged grasshopper is typically dark brown to greenish or reddish-brown. The underside is often bright yellow. There is a dark stripe behind each eye that continues onto the pronotum and ends abruptly at the hind most ridge. There is a distinct, spiny bump (spur) at the base of the neck, between the base of the forelegs. The antennae are red or reddish-brown and are no more than half the length of the body. The middle portion of the femur on the hind legs is grooved in a distinct herringbone or chevron pattern. The hind tibia is bright red, hence its binomial name "femurrubrum" (femur = thigh, rubrum = red).
Adult food consists of a wide variety of forbs and grasses, including crops such as corn, alfalfa, soybeans, small grains, tobacco, and vegetables. It is considered to be an agricultural pest.

This hoverfly is sometimes called 'The Footballer' due to its stripy thorax. There are in fact several species with similar stripes which are difficult to tell apart. Another name is 'The Sunfly' due to its preference for bright sunny days. In this species the black on the hind tibia is restricted to the distal third and the mid tibia is all yellow.

King with short loincloth wears a headdress of Amun; high double feather crown and has broken beard. Accessories are lost.
Inscriptions:
On the sidewalls of the niche:
On the left, scenes of wine offerings to Atoum:
"Atoum, master of the Two Lands and Heliopolis, the great god, master of the Great Rest, he gives all life and all health. ”
Right, scenes of incense offerings to Khepri:
"[Khepri, the great god] ..."
COMMENT: the inscription adjacent to the statue on the sidewall is destroyed, but the god depicted there is named Khepri by the inscription above it. In the south naos, where the characters are identical, the corresponding text names well Khepri. The middle statue, where the figure is wearing the crown of Amun Ramses II surely presents the king, even if the hairstyle is unusual because as noted by G. Roeder, Amon is not at all present in the scenes sculpted on the naos. Otherwise, in the south naos, the middle figure, identical and better preserved, wears the royal shendyt loincloth.

This picture shows the "lift the dot" fasteners used on the hinged tibia cuffs. There is a contoured metal insert on the front of the cuff which is well padded for comfort. The advantage to this cuff is that it holds the lower leg in PERFECT position within the brace. These braces were refurbished EXACTLY the way I purchased them. I had never seen this cuff arrangement before, but it is VERY effective. These braces can be worn with just the tibia cuff and the upper thigh cuff fastened and the legs are held rigid. These are for sale. Made to measure leg braces and custom made leather and metal bondage gear available as well as refurbished braces for any part of the body. Contact me at my1970junk@msn.com
from the assessment workbook for my bee keeping course
Honey bee hind leg - this is view of outside of the leg (my previous labelled photo was of the inside of the leg)
showing the pollen basket or corbicula, the shallow cavity on the tibia that is where the pollen load is formed.
Again trying to learn/revise for a course I am about to start next week and I felt that taking some of my own photos and revealing/identifying for myself in my own photos what I am reading or seeing in diagrams or photos in the text book would be a good way to learn and consolidate information and make it more interesting and enjoyable.
Taken using a combination of the Tamron 70-300mm lens and the Raynox DCR250 so essentially the maximum magnification readily available to me! This combo never seems to make for arty or attractive/pleasing macros but for today's purpose magnification is more important!
Figure 1.3.11 further view showing lateral aspect of tibia highlighting the corbiculum. A depression on the tibia clearly seen – I tried to capture the central hair that anchors the pollen load but have not managed to show this convincingly.
