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!
Two images taken on different days in different locations but both show the male of the bug.
Length 8.0-8.5 mm.
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.
Statues have round faces, wide shoulders and massive legs, rounded knees with two oblique muscles joining the arched tibia.
Atoum has a double crown and divine beard. Khepri is depicted with uraeus disc, tripartite wig and divine beard. Gods with three-row necklaces are wearing a short pleated loincloth, belt with a knot and oval buckle. 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.
Provenance: Tanis, Large Temple, North naos, between the third and fourth pairs of obelisks

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.
...seen above perched on Heath Aster (Aster pilosus).
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.

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!

de que sigo siendo un niño,

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,

making the best use of this dead bee and preparing for a course I am about to start next week. I felt that taking some of my own photos and working out what i was seeing would be a useful/interesting way to learn. Taken using a combination of the Tamron 70-300mm lens and the Raynox DCR250 so essentially the maximum magnification readily available to me! Unfortunately the software I use to do the labeling strips out the exif and lens information from the image file.

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.

Stuifmeelkam en stuifmeelkorfje
De achterpoot van een werkbij heeft op de scheen (tibia) twee voorzieningen voor het verzamelen van stuifmeel:
op de rand van de scheen staan gebogen haren die een korfje (corbicula) vormen, en
op de top van de scheen zit ook nog een stevige kam.
De stuifmeelkam helpt (naast de andere haren op de achterpoten) mee om het stuifmeel de pollen uit de vacht te kammen. Nadat het stuifmeel dan met wat nectar een beetje nat is gemaakt wordt het als stuifmeelklompje in het stuifmeelkorfje opgeslagen. Zo'n stuifmeelklompje kan tot zo'n 10 milligram wegen.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 returning it to the nest or hive. Other species of bee have scopae instead.
Not my best ever damselfly shot but I'm still pleased with it as I first thought it was "just another" female Orange Featherleg. But when I looked more closely I could see it had flattened tibia - which is diagnostic of White Featherleg. Albano Soares, the Portuguese odonata expert, kindly confirmed this for me. So I'm highly delighted as I thought I'd missed out on seeing this species - which is another lifer for me :o) Just a shame I didn't realise it at the time....

Íbamos hacia la parada de autobús cargados con bolsas repletas de recuerdos, luego de ir a los puestos de artesanías del centro de Cancún, cuando me encontré con un estrecho pasillo repleto de libros. Mientras la familia avanzaba lento, aletargada por el calor y las compras, no pude evitar ingresar a este espacio reducido y hojear algunos volúmenes amarillentos. Desde el techo llegaba una brisa tibia impulsada por los ventiladores, mientras la dependienta se mantenía distante, indiferente a mi presencia y la cámara fotográfica. Obturé rápidamente y seguí caminando rumbo al paradero.

Or is it Ant Damsel Bug? After reading up on them on british bugs the wings look too short for H. mirmicoides but the antennae look too short for H. apterus. This photo doesn't show the hind tibia very well but other (poorer) photos do and the hairs are long, so I'm leaning towards H. apterus, even though we only saw them on low vegetation.

Once of our dirtball species. Common, found almost everywhere including people's gardens and in our agricultural fields. This is group (Halictus) if often identifiable in the males by the the dark spot/section on the outer face of the hind tibia. If you don't key in on that they are often misidentified as Lasioglossum species, which have many species that have the dark metallic green feel your see here. Collected in Prince George's County (possibily in my garden) and photographed by Sydney Price.

Yeah, we didn't know either. But we learned the hard way today! :-|
As you can see, we've been sort of busy. Em broke her leg yesterday at school. A spiral fracture of the lower right tibia is what the official diagnosis was called.
What it looked like on the x-ray was that someone took the bottom of my little girl's right leg and wrung it out like a dish rag and left her foot leaning to the right.
She's smiling in this photo today (which rules, btw) but trust me... This is well after an eerily silent car ride to the hospital, an episode or three with learning how to use a bedpan, the heart wrenching pleading and begging to just go home and sleep, the blood curdling screaming while they just try to splint her leg to get her through the night before they could anesthetize her so they could do a closed reduction surgery (which boils down to a twist and jam the bones together while you bar them in place with a rigid cast) and a healthy dose of Hydrocodone for like the fifth time that day.
On the bright side, she's finally back home tonight and sleeping, the orthopedist says that about 75% of these fractures break the fibula with it and her's didn't, and that 99.99% of these fractures heal with absolutely no problems and no long term effects, she's motoring to the bathroom and back with a pint sized walker and surprising dexterity, and the doctors pulled her massively loose tooth while she was unconscious before they intubated her, so the tooth fairy's coming tonight!
: )
PS: In case you were wondering, her glove slipped when she was on some playground equipment during lunch recess and rather than fall on her back or head, she tried to turn in mid air and land forward on her feet, like a bazillion other kids across the planet probably did yesterday.
Em just didn't quite finish the turn before her right foot hit the ground. Ugh. : (
: )

The hind or 3rd leg of the worker honey bee is where the key tools are for collecting/processing pollen into the familiar pollen loads.
working from proximal to distal on the legs the 4 key structures are:
1. (not illustrated in this picture) the corbicula is a cavity on the outside of the tibia which holds the formed pollen load for transport back to the hive. It has a single, central large hair that anchors the pollen load and is fringed by a line of smaller hairs.
2. The rake (or rastellum) on the tibia. This is a ridge of stiff hairs and is illustrated in the picture.
3. The auricle on the basitarsus. This is a hollow or cup and is shown in the picture.
Together the rake and the auricle are referred to as the pollen press.
4. The pollen brushes, well illustrated in the picture are rows of hairs on the inside of the basitarsus (all 3 pairs of legs have this not just the 3rd pair)
The process of forming the pollen load is as follows. Pollen collected on all 3 pairs of legs is transferred to the pollen brushes on the hind legs along with a small amount of nectar that serves to glue it together.
The hind legs are rubbed together such that the rake from one leg combs the pollen from the opposite leg from the pollen brush into the auricle. The basitarsal-tibial joint is flexed such that the pollen is compressed in the auricle and the resulting pressure squeezes the batch of pollen into the corbicula. The process is repeated over and over resulting in an increasingly big pollen load anchored in each of the 2 corbiculae. The middle pair of legs are employed in shaping and tidying the pollen leads as the get bigger.
This is from a dead bee I found earlier on the patio - good subject for some macro work!
I am trying to learn/revise this stuff for a course I am about to start 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.
