walnut caterpillar

these are on a pecan tree.1st instar and,well, i dont know


Pecans, walnuts and hickories are all in the same family, Juglandacaea.
So these moths feed easily on all Juglands.
The moth is a 'Promenant'.
Some species, including this one, Datana integerrima, feed in groups.
'The other', (good Thomas Tryon gothic horror book) looks to be a plant hopper eclosing.

Acronyms have caused a number of names
of places to not be used.
A for instance.
The Body Farm, as Patricia Cornwell named it, was not named after it's creator, Dr. William Bass, because Bass Anthropologic Research Farm had a bad conotation.

Canon 5Dthanks all, but sold now

Good price. Body alone used goes for 2 65 - 300, so with lenses and extra batteries this would be a good camera for someone looking to get into a better camera than just entry level equipment. Good luck with your sale.


That's my hope, now they need to see this ad.
And your critique.
Thanks.

If any of y'all thig still;l photography has its own lingo- have a peek at what Cinematography entails.

Cinematography lighting equipment terms:

All of this stuff has abbreviations, slang terms, and acronyms. Does anyone know what a "Top-Hat" is?


It refers to a part of a drum kit.
Maybe a small snare mounted high?
I am not a drummer, tho, so unsure.
Where is Ringo when you need him?

Once I was sure of my ID of these I would handle them.
People generally thought I was 'weird' any way. That cinched their opinion.

is the zennia.

they work where you need brilliant colors
they work as cut flowers
they work fast
they attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds
they shade out weeds
they are low maintenance
they work year after year.

but drat...the deer eat them for dessert so mine are on the deck.


And marigolds are both oldies but goodies.
As a child, I remember the large flocks of Goldfinches in our garden.
Dad had a couple hundred square feet of both to sell for cut flowers.
Finches ruin them by eating the seeds.
He had many names for Goidfinches, most unfit for print here.

Does it include the pictured lens? And what lens is it?
Thanks, Burt


It does. That was another senior moment.
It is a 35- 80 mm, 1:4-5.6. Canon brand.
There is also a ? Lens. I believe it to be an adjustable pinhole. All in focus, soft, 'old' look.

Quick pass after lunch. Yup, I know it isn't a Hornet - one of the Sweat Bees - I won't go all Latin on it. Plenty around, but the butterflies weren't cooperative, and grasshoppers are too darn ugly. D810 AF Micro Nikkor 105 2.8D


Those are Coocoo bees.
So named because they are parasitic, laying their eggs in other bee's nests. Like the European Coocoo, a bird.
Very nice.

Insect - Metallic Beetle
sippyjug104 wrote:
I found this expired beetle in the dog exercise yard where I have found an assortment of specimens over time. I thought that it was a piece of gold foil with rose and green metallic colors so I picked it up to keep the dogs from eating it. I was surprised to see that it was a scarab beetle of some sort although it was a bit worse for wear.

I brought it in and staged it for a focus stacking session and this is the result.


These are one of the burrowing dung beetles.
They prefer carnivore dung. They are helping keep your yard clean.
Your tribute to this one is a thank you on your part.
To collect them from dung is an unpleasant job, even if you find one. I wore (yes, past tense) gloves but never found one.
So, I discovered this.
A five gallon aquarium (or a bucket, I'm sure) with just a WHIF of bleach attracts them, and other beetles.
A pheromone?
Works for Cupidids, so maybe.
Cleaning an aquarium, so an accidental discovery, like most discoveries.
It was the sculpting of the exoskeleton that was the clue.
Got to know your bugs on a first name basis.
Nice afternoon, Gary et.al.(tha's Latin, darlin').
