One of the phantom craneflies, Ptychoptera contaminata, at Lower Common Allotments, #Bath. Adults of this species are usually found on the vegetation near shallow still or slow-flowing water, in which they lay their eggs and develop as larvae. I have found two other species in the Bath area.

"Flies (Diptera) are particularly suitable transport hosts. They are highly mobile, capable of long-distance flight, and frequently visit the same types of transient habitats that pseudoscorpions depend on. By attaching themselves to a fly, pseudoscorpions can effectively outsource dispersal – reaching new habitats they could never access on their own."

Two Hoverflies from this morning. Cheilosia variabilis and Epistrophe eligans.

'Verbindungen' #FotoVorschlag

Heute mal eine Gemeine Wespe (Vespula vulgaris), die sich im Netz der Wespenspinne (Argiope bruennichi) verknotet hat. Kleiner Spoiler: Es war Madame Spinne wohl zu heikel und sie hat die Wespe ziehen lassen. Auch die Nahrungskette ist eine Verbindung und Spinnenweben ja sowieso.

Frage in die Runde: Ich würde Spinnenbilder zukünftig gerne ohne Spoiler posten (außer vielleicht Nahaufnahmen von riesigen Kieferklauen), aber immer mehrere Spinnen-Hashtags zum Ausfiltern per Blockliste verwenden. Meinungen dazu?

裁きの時
汝らよ、鉄槌の時がやって来た。震え上がりたまえ。
Так, настала година суду; тремтіти від страху.
