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.
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!

A headless statue depicting a young satyr wearing a panther skin tied on the right shoulder; he plays the tibia obliqua (flute) and reclines next to a tree trunk. This statue type, frequently copied during the Roman period, is based on a Greek prototype by the circle of the sculptor Praxiteles, created ca. 300 BCE.
Roman, Hadrianic period (117-138 CE). Found in Rome, in the area between via XX Settembre and via Firenze, from a residential building.
Museo Archeologico Romano, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme (inv. 551)
He played baseball from the age of 5 up through his senior year in high school……never had an injury other than a scraped knee or elbow. Now as a junior in college playing softball, he runs and slides into third base, his bent leg inverts and he breaks his fibula bone. To make matters worst, a ligament tore and was in the way of the fracture so he needed surgery today. The doctor used a metal plate and 8 screws to hold the bone in place.
I left him a couple of hours ago, leg propped up on ice and resting somewhat comfortably. Poor kid has been in lot of pain.
This is a relatively small hoverfly with grey-silver spots, though in the male these can have a bronze tint. The 'pale foot' refers to the pale swelling in the front tibia (foot) of the male; however other Platycheirus species have this too.
Habitat
Hedgerows and gardens.
When to see it
March to November, peaking in May/early June and again in July/August.
Life History
The larvae are found on low growing bushes where they eat aphids.
UK Status
This is a common and widespread species in Britain.
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.
My friend just broke her ankle and tibia? She was wearing high heels and slipped. :( Since I don't have the HA shoe stamp (how perfect that would have been) I used the apples. I embossed the apples with clear three times so they would look like waxy apples. Thanks for looking! The inside says....keeps the doctor away.

Soorten uit het geslacht Plateumaris zijn lastig te onderscheiden.
Uiterlijke kenmerken
Lichaamsdelen van de gewone rietkever (Donacia vulgaris).
A = Kop
B = Borststuk
C = Achterlijf
1 = Antenne
2 = Oog
3 = Halsschild
4 = Voorpoot (femur)
5 = Middelste poot (tibia)
6 = Achterpoot (tarsus)
7 = Dekschild
Net als andere insecten bestaat het lichaam uit drie delen; een kop, een borststuk en een achterlijf. De kever heeft verder twee duidelijk zichtbare antennes, drie paar poten en twee paar vleugels, de bovenste zichtbare vleugels hebben een meestal groene kleur met een metaalachtige glans die verschillende tinten kan hebben. De lichaamslengte exclusief uitsteeksels zoals poten en antennes ongeveer een centimeter lang, de lichaamslengte kan verschillen per soort maar is maximaal ongeveer een centimeter. De gewone rietkever (Donacia vulgaris) bereikt een lichaamslengte van 6 tot 8 millimeter,[4] de soort Donacia aquatica wordt ongeveer 6 tot 10 mm lang.[5]
De kop of cephalon is relatief klein en draagt verschillende aanhangsels. Aan de voorzijde van de kop zijn de antennes gelegen. De antenenes zijn draadvormig (filiform) en zijn duidelijk gesegmenteerd. Aan het uiteinde van ieder segment is een verdikking aanwezig, het laatste lid is iets verdikt maar niet knopvormig zoals bij andere insecten voorkomt. De ogen zijn rond en kraalachtig en vaak donkerder tot zwart van kleur.
Het borststuk of thorax is het gecompliceerdste deel van het lichaam van de kevers. Het borststuk lijk uit één geheel te bestaan maar is in feite een samensmelting van drie delen. De verschillende delen van het borststuk worden van voor naar achter het propleuron, het mesopleuron en het metapleuron genoemd. Ieder deel draagt een paar poten aan de onderzijde en de twee voorste delen dragen ieder een paar vleugels aan de bovenzijde.
Net als andere kevers is het borststuk is het deel waaraan alle poten en vleugels zijn gehecht. Het voorste deel van het borststuk wordt beschermd door het halsschild of pronotum en het achterste deel is onder de dekvleugels of elytra gelegen. Het pronotum is sterk gewelfd, in het midden is een groef aanwezig in de lengte en aan weerszijden zijn enkele bulterige structuren aanwezig.
De dekschilden zijn langwerpig en eindigen spits, ze hebben een groene kleur met een duidelijke metaalglans. De dekschilden zijn voorzien van rijen talrijke kleine putjes. Deze breken het licht zodat ze lijken op rijen kleine vlekjes.
De poten bestaan net als andere kevers uit drie delen, die afwijken ten opzichte van andere kevers. De poten zijn lang en sprieterig, iets wat bij de meeste verwante bladhaantjes ontbreekt. Het eerste deel van de poot wordt de heup of coxa, deze pootbasis is aan de onderzijde van het lichaam gepositioneerd en moeilijk te zien. De heup is middels de dijbeenring of trochanter verbonden met de overige drie delen van de poot, die wel onder de dekschilden uitsteken en duidelijk te zien zijn. Het eerste deel is de dij of femur, de dij eindigt in een verdikking.
De mannetjes hebben aan de tibia van het achterste potenpaar een duidelijk stekelachtige structuur die naar achteren wijst een een spoor wordt genoemd. De sporen spelen een rol bij de paring van de kevers, de mannetjes ankeren zich met behulp van de sporen aan een vrouwtje. Sporen komen ook wel bij sommige andere kevers voor, maar de rietkevers zijn aan deze uitsteeksels makkelijk te onderscheiden van gelijkende kevers.
Het achterlijf of abdomen is het grootste deel van het lichaam, het wordt geheel verborgen onder de dekschilden. Het achterlijf is gesegmenteerd en wordt beschermd door verstevigde platen. De platen aan de bovenzijde van het achterlijf worden de tergieten genoemd en die aan de onderzijde van het achterlijf zijn de sternieten. aldus wikipedia

DESCOBERTAS PALEONTOLÓGICAS NO SÍTIO DE PEIRÓPOLIS EM UBERABA-MG.
Desde a década de 1940, descobertas paleontológicas já traziam nova notoriedade para a região. Informado de que fósseis de ossos haviam sido encontrados durante obras de retificação da linha da linha férrea Mogiana, o paleontólogo gaúcho Llewellyn Ivor Price (1905-1980), começou a trabalhar em Peirópolis em 1947. Realizou uma escavação sistemática na região de Caieira, entre 1949 e 1961. Como resultado, foram recuperadas centenas de ossos fossilizados do período Cretáceo Superior (100 a 65 milhões de anos atrás), sobretudo de dinossauros do grupo dos titanossauros.
Por quase 30 anos, o Ivor Price pesquisou as terras do Triângulo Mineiro e de municípios paulistas. Considerado o pai da paleontologia brasileira, permaneceu na região até 1974. Todo o acervo de fósseis coletado por ele e seus auxiliares, ao longo de três décadas, integra a coleção do Museu de Ciências da Terra do Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral (DNPM), no Rio de Janeiro.
Museu e Centro de Pesquisas.
Em 1991, a Prefeitura Municipal de Uberaba restaurou o prédio da estação e outras dependências no entorno para instalar o "Centro de Pesquisas Paleontológicas Llewellyn Ivor Price", criado no ano seguinte sob supervisão do geólogo Luiz Carlos Borges Ribeiro. A antiga estação passou a abrigar um laboratório de preparação de fósseis e um pequeno, mas atraente museu paleontológico, aberto à visitação pública e vinculado à Fundação Cultural de Uberaba. Outros imóveis no entorno foram transformados em residências para pesquisadores.
Dentre as atrações do museu, destaca-se hoje o esqueleto fossilizado do crocodilomorfo do Cretáceo Superior Uberabasuchus terrificus – descoberto na região no ano 2000 e um dos mais completos do tipo já encontrado no mundo – que está exposto no museu ao lado de uma réplica do animal. O Uberabasuchus terrificus pertence a uma família de crocodilomorfos denominada Peirosauridae em homenagem a Peirópolis. Estima-se que ele media aproximadamente 2,5 metros de comprimento e pesava cerca de 300 kg.
Mais recentemente foram descobertos na região fosseis do Uberabatitan ribeiroi, o maior dinossauro brasileiro já encontrado. Fósseis de três indivíduos dessa espécie foram descobertos em 2004 na região de Serra da Galga, entre as cidades de Uberaba e Uberlândia, durante a realização das obras da duplicação da rodovia BR-050. O trabalho de retirada dos fósseis foi concluído em 2006, após os técnicos escavarem manualmente cerca de 300 toneladas de rochas que datavam do período Cretáceo e Paleogeno para a extração do material. Em 2011, foram feitas novas descobertas na mesma área, que incluem um fêmur de 1,4 metros do Uberabatitan.
Rede Nacional de Paleontologia.
Em 2003/2004 o Governo Federal, por meio do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia, liberou recursos para a construção em Peirópolis da sede da Rede Nacional de Pesquisas Científicas em Paleontologia. Diversas controvérsias envolveram o projeto que teria como objetivo proteger sítios fossilíferos e divulgar a paleontologia.
Apesar de um grande prédio ter sido construído próximo ao antigo museu para sediá-la, a Rede Nacional nunca se concretizou e terminou extinta. Suas instalações passaram a ser utilizadas para mostras científicas, atividades lúdicas e pedagógicas sobre a paleontologia, direcionadas a crianças e estudantes de Uberaba e região. Hoje o prédio abriga um auditorio para palestras, salas para oficinas, alem da sede da Associação dos Amigos do Sitio Paleontológico de Peirópolis - AASPP. Abriga também as réplicas de um Megaterium (Preguiça Gigante) e de um Titanossauro, ambos encontrados na região.
Em 2011, o novo prédio e seus equipamentos – juntamente com o Museu e o Centro de Pesquisas – foram integrados ao novo Complexo Científico Cultural de Peirópolis vinculado à Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM) e à Secretaria de Estado de Ciência, Tecnologia e Ensino Superior de Minas Gerais.

PALEONTOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN THE SITE OF PEIRÓPOLIS IN UBERABA-MG.
Since the 1940s, paleontological discoveries have already brought new fame to the region. Informed that bone fossils had been found during the rectification of the Mogiana railway line, Gaucho paleontologist Llewellyn Ivor Price (1905-1980) began working in Peirópolis in 1947. He performed a systematic excavation in the region of Caieira, between 1949 and 1961. As a result, hundreds of fossilized bones from the Upper Cretaceous period (100 to 65 million years ago), mainly dinosaurs from the titanosaurs group, were recovered.
For almost 30 years, Ivor Price surveyed the lands of the Triângulo Mineiro and the municipalities of São Paulo. Considered the father of Brazilian paleontology, he remained in the region until 1974. The collection of fossils collected by him and his assistants for three decades is part of the collection of the Museum of Earth Sciences of the National Department of Mineral Production (DNPM) in Rio de Janeiro.
Museum and Research Center.
In 1991, the Municipality of Uberaba restored the station building and other dependencies in the surroundings to install the "Llewellyn Ivor Price Paleontological Research Center", created the following year under the supervision of the geologist Luiz Carlos Borges Ribeiro. The old station started to house a fossil preparation laboratory and a small but attractive paleontological museum, open to public visitation and linked to the Cultural Foundation of Uberaba. Other surrounding properties have been transformed into residences for researchers.
Among the attractions of the museum, the fossilized skeleton of the crocodilomorph of the Upper Cretaceous Uberabasuchus terrificus - discovered in the region in the year 2000 and one of the most complete of the type already found in the world - is exhibited in the museum next to a replica of the animal. Uberabasuchus terrificus belongs to a family of crocodilomorphs called Peirosauridae in honor of Peirópolis. It is estimated to be approximately 2.5 meters long and weighs about 300 kg.
More recently they were discovered in the fossil region of Uberabatitan ribeiroi, the largest Brazilian dinosaur ever found. Fossils of three individuals of this species were discovered in 2004 in the region of Serra da Galga, between the cities of Uberaba and Uberlândia, during the works of the duplication of highway BR-050. The work of removing the fossils was completed in 2006, after the technicians manually excavated about 300 tons of rocks dating from the Cretaceous and Paleogene for the extraction of the material. In 2011, new discoveries were made in the same area, which include a femur of 1.4 meters from Uberabatitan.
National Network of Paleontology.
In 2003/2004, the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Science and Technology, released funds for the construction in Peirópolis of the headquarters of the National Network of Scientific Research in Paleontology. Several controversies involved the project that would aim to protect fossiliferous sites and promote paleontology.
Although a large building was built near the old museum to house it, the National Network never materialized and ended up extinct. Its facilities began to be used for scientific shows, play and pedagogical activities on paleontology, aimed at children and students of Uberaba and region. Today the building houses an auditorium for lectures, workshop rooms, and the headquarters of the Association of Friends of the Peirópolis Paleontological Site - AASPP. It also houses the replicas of a Megaterium (Giant Sloth) and a Titanosaurus, both found in the region.
In 2011, the new building and its equipment - together with the Museum and the Research Center - were integrated into the new Peirópolis Cultural Scientific Complex linked to the Federal University of the Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM) and the State Secretariat for Science, Technology and Education Superior of Minas Gerais.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------
The museum's greatest attraction is the rich collection of fossils of dinosaurs and other vertebrates. It also has explanatory panels on the evolution of life and dioramas that reconstitute the scenarios of life and of the animals and vegetables that inhabited the region of Uberaba millions of years ago. It is installed in the building of the old railway station of Peirópolis, built in 1889, in English style.
Visiting hours: Tuesday to Friday from 08 to 17h and Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 08h to 18h.
In the period of January (holidays) the Museum is also open on Mondays. During the Carnival period it will only close on February 10.

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 compose the family Apidae: the honey bees, bumblebees, stingless bees, and orchid bees.The corbicula ("little basket") is a polished cavity 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 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. 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, producing the product known as bee pollen or bee bread. 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.
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.

Detail from plate 6, engraved anatomical illustration of the "jonctures and articulations of the arm and leg - articulation of ye thigh-bone with ye tibia" from: Anatomy improv'd and illustrated with regard to the uses thereof in designing. (London: John Senex, 1723).
This volume of engraved plates and text was originally published in Rome in 1691, and was re-engraved and republished in London in 1723. The dissections were done for the Italian edition by Bernardino Genga, Professor of Anatomy and Surgery and physician in the hospital of San Spirito in Rome, and the explanatory text by the papal physician Giovanni Maria Lancisi (1654-1720). The book, designed for artists rather than medical students, includes plates of famous classical statues from Rome and is described as 'A work of great use to painters, sculptors, statuaries and all others studious in the noble arts of design'.
The English edition is dedicated by the publisher to Richard Mead, FRCP, FRS (1673-1754), 'a favourer of the politer arts'.
Part of the Anatomical Atlases in Special Collections & Archives, SPEC Anatomy 6. Cropped inscription on the titlepage, 'Tho. Dixon's Book 1799' and the pencilled name' Miss Annie Jackson, 19 North Street' on the front flyleaf, with pencil measurements possibly from a dissected skeleton on the back of the last (index) page.
The volume has had some plates cut out, but has also been grangerised with later anatomical illustrations pasted in.
