Lady bugs are carnivorous and eat plant afides ( little "flea" parasitic bugs that feed on the plants fluids)

Mamaruta este carnivora si se hraneste cu "purecii de plante". In unele tari se prefera folosirea lor in locul sprayurilor pesticide. Buna ziua, am o problema in gradina! Dati-mi va rog 1 kilogram de mamarutse! :)

Standing in line to see the Sun set

ZBANG!

caught it! too bad the picture is not so clear.

:) you really have beautiful eyes (a lot of them)

"Argiopes can be easily identified by the zigzag of white silk in their webs. Like all orb-weavers, they have ringed legs.The function of the zigzag of white silk in their web is not clear. There are several ideas what the purpose may be.It may be used to attract insects because it is radiating UV-light and that attract insects. Another explanation is that it is to frighten predators. The spider shakes the web vigorously when something large is approaching and that result in a blurry white spot.Another explanation can be that the spider makes the web clear to see and that should avoid large animals to destroy the web."

I think i saw a ...

Heaven in flames.

i don't know a name for this photo i took almost an year ago. who feels in the mood to give it a title should leave a comment and i will choose the title i like most. (times up). if no comments are found i will name it. title has been chosen.

n-am nicio idee pentru numele acestei poze. daca te trece vreun sentiment lasa un comment cu ce titlu crezi tu ca s-ar potrivi mai bine. titlul se va alege dupa ureche (cum suna mai bine).
(timpul a expirat). daca nu voi gasi comentarii, voi pune un titlu. s-a ales un titlu.

Babyes!

the only babyes i like. these are spider babyes. they will grow up something like that guy below. latin is Araneus diadematus (cross spider or garden spider - paianjenul cu cruce, paianjen de gradina). Garden spiders can change colour depending were they have chosen to stay for a while, especially Flower crab spiders, wich can mimic very very well a part or colour of a flower. I will show you later on one of these spiders. I'm sure you have passed at least 100 times by a spider and never knew :) that's why they are admirable.

[Paianjenul cu cruce este unul din paianjenii cel mai des intalniti prin gradini si soproane de lemne, chiar si apartamente. Cum ajung pana in apartament? Simplu, cand sunt puiuti, isi indreapta curul :) in sus, dau drumul la panza, si vantul il duce pe unde o bate. daca rateaza lansarea trebuie sa-si stranga parasuta :). Paianjenii isi schimba culoarea in functie de locul in care au ales sa stea pentru o vreme. Cel mai bine o fac paianjenii (crab) de flori: Misumena vatia. O sa fie prezentat cu prima ocazie in care-l trag in pixeli. Daca nu apuc, o sa imprumutam o poza de pe net. Paianjenii se ascund bine de obicei, sigur ati trecut de nenumarate ori pe langa unul, mic, mare, care se uita cu ce-i 8 ochi si spunea in gand "sper sa nu ma vada, sper sa nu ma vada" :)

Bum!

Sun swirl

Sun is still ... natural ... i hope.

Spider wannabe

:) this is the Harvestman (the Harvestman is not a spider, altough is in the spiders class, the main difference is that the Harvestman's body is almost formed as one, and the spider's is made up of the abdomen and cephalotorax. also the Harvestman has no silk glands, it does not spin webs like the spider, and it does not have venom)

[nu stiu ce denumire populara (romaneasca) are "Harvestman"-ul. daca stie cineva, sa lase un comment. Harvestman-ul nu e un paianjen propriu zis desi face parte din aceeasi clasa cu paianjenii. Diferentele sunt notabile, Harvestman-ul are corpul aproape dintr-o bucata, nu ca paianjenul, a carui corp e format din torace si cefalotorace. Harvestman-ul nu are venin, nu tese panza - pentru ca nu are glandele necesare. o sa-l vedeti de obicei pe zidurile casei.

preferabil sa-l lasati in pace pentru ca i se rup picioarele foarte usor]

Jumpy

jumping spider :) he's so cute (jumping spiders have the best eye vision from all spiders)

[ paianjenul saritor are cea mai buna vedere dintre toti paianjenii, si daca tii degetul la aprox. 1 - 2 cm de el, se intoarce dupa el, simtindu-se amenintat. nu musca (are chelicerele prea mici sa-ti perforeze pielea) si in niciun caz daca a sarit vreodata spre tine, nu a facut-o ca sa te atace si sa-ti manance creierul]
