黒い肌と深緑のコントラスト。窓からの幻想的な青い光。 Contrast of black skin and deep green. Fantastic blue light from the window.
On a Lagerstroemia trunk, a Dolichoderus quadripinctatus worker met a Colobopsis truncata major and finished half cut, but stil hanged on its leg.
The common marbled carpet (Chloroclysta truncata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is sometimes placed in the genus Dysstroma. It is very common throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East.
This is one of the most variable of the geometrids both in size (wingspan 32–39 mm) and colour. The basal and terminal areas of the forewings are marked with fascia separated by a large plain area in the middle, but the colouration of all these areas is confusingly variable from white to black with various grey, brown and reddish tones in between. The hindwings, though, are always pale grey marked with faint fascia. One or two broods are produced each year and the adults can be seen in any month from May to November. The species flies at night and is attracted to light. It is also attracted to nectar-rich flowers and sugary foods which is fairly unusual for the family.
The larva is slender and green, usually with reddish stripes. It has been recorded feeding on a wide range of plants (see list below). The species overwinters as a larva.

Atraída por la luz Micrasterias truncata va trazando su camino de navegante en las gotas, dejando su estela verde, la huella de su equilibrio en su retrato de espejo.
Nada se ha truncado, en la belleza de esta estrella de turberas, Micrasterias truncata sigue desplegando sus recortados rayos de luz en sus contornos sin perder su esencia de equilibrio. Ella hace de su pequeño cuerpo de espejo una joya, que lo mismo se muestra en rubí que se viste de turquesa. Todo depende de la luz, esa luz que recibe y que devuelve igual que su silueta sobre cuerpo de espejo.
Micrasterias truncata es una de las pocas especies de algas estrella que habitan entre los musgos húmedos de la turberas, desde las zonas de valle hasta las cumbres, y dentro del género una de las de menor tamaño y más ampliamente repartida.
Su cuerpo simétrico y plano, sus contornos discretamente recortados y sus ápices casi rectos y sin apenas ornamentación, hacen de ella una especie inconfundiblemente bella, aunque pueda presentar una notable variación morfológica.
Aunque generalmente vive en aguas limpias y muy pobres en nutrientes, también puede aparecer en lagos y embalses oligotróficos o ligeramente mesotróficos. En algunos países del centro de Europa como Alemania, está incluida en el libro rojo al ser considerada una especie en peligro de extinción, pero en otros como Holanda se encuentra muy extendida y bien representada.
En la Península Ibérica, al igual que ocurre en otros territorios del norte y oeste de Europa, es sin duda la especie más común y la más ampliamente repartida dentro de todos los taxones representados dentro de este género. En nuestro territroio vive sobre todo en las lagunas glaciares y las turberas situadas en las zonas más altas de la Sierra, donde casi puede tocar las estrellas desde las gotas de agua en las que habita.
Las citas de este taxón son escasas en la Península Ibérica y se reparten entre Galicia, Sistema Central y Pirineos y ésta de hoy constituye una nueva localidad y referencia para el Sistema Ibérico, en donde es sin duda la especie más común del género.
Las fotografías tomadas en vivo el 25 de junio de 2020 a 400 aumentos con las técnicas de epifluorescencia, contraste de interferencia y contraste de fase proceden de unas muestras recogidas el día 7 de junio en las turberas de Peñayerre (Sierra Cebollera) donde se encuentra acompañada de otras especies de este género.

I decided to include the leaf. This is a small but colorful plant, something like 6 inches tall or less.
Another lovely skipper. No one else saw this individual though the same species may have been seen by others. It was spotted as I made my way back towards most of the others soon after seeing the green hairstreak. I thought it had green on the wings but think I was told the green is from the leaf on which it is resting.
A photo and butterfly I was delighted with.
I am now on my third name for it so clearly the exact species is open to disagreement.
Family : Hesperiidae Sub-Family : Pyrginae Tribe : Achlyodidini

Как и многие любители хавортий, я легко поддался очарованию трункат и теперь завидным упорством стараюсь собрать как можно больше этих растений в своей коллекции.
Haworthia is a genus of flowering plants within the family Asphodelaceae. They are small (typically 20 cm high) solitary or clump-forming and endemic to South Africa. Some species have firm, tough leaves, usually dark green in color, whereas other are soft and semi-translucent. Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. But their leaves show wide variations even within one species.
The classification of the flowering plant family Asphodelaceae is weak and concepts of the genera are not well substantiated. Haworthia is similarly a weakly contrived genus consisting of three distinct groups: sub-genera Haworthia, Hexangularis, and Robustipedunculares. Related genera are Aloe, Gasteria and Astroloba and intergeneric hybrids are known.
The genus Haworthia is named after the botanist Adrian Hardy Haworth. Bayer recognizes approximately 61 species whereas other taxonomists are very much less conservative (1999, Haworthia Revisited, Umdaus Press). The species are endemic to South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia and Maputoland. The plants are small, forming rosettes of leaves from 30mm to exceptionally 300mm in diameter. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems reach up to 500mm.
Their flowers are small, white and very similar between species. There are differences in the flowers of the three sub-genera that botanists have curiously considered inconsequential although the differences between species in the same subgenus definitely are. The roots, leaves and rosettes do demonstrate some generic differences while wide variations occur even within one species. Because of their horticultural interest, the taxonomy has been dominated by amateur collectors and the literature is rife with misunderstanding of what the taxa actually are or should be.
There is widespread special collector interest but some species such as Haworthia attenuata and Haworthia cymbiformis, are fairly common house and garden plants. Haworthia species reproduce both through seed and through budding, or offsets. Certain species or clones may be more successful or rapid in offset production, and these pups are easily removed to yield new plants once a substantial root system has developed on the offshoot. Less reliably, the plants may also be propagated through leaf cuttings, and in some instances, through tissue culture.
