Six-spot burnet moth and shield bug on ragwort

nobody@ipernity.com (Amelia) — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 07:42:07 +0000

Amelia has posted:

Zygaena filipendulae, the six-spot burnet moth, is a day-flying moth that flies with a slow, fluttering pattern. Look for it alighting on knapweeds, ragwort and thistles in grassy places. It is glossy black, with six red spots on each forewing. It's a common moth and can be seen in June to August.

Interestingly, the red spots of burnet moths indicate to predators that they are poisonous: they release hydrogen cyanide when attacked.

Stone House in Southern California (HWW)

Taken in the 1970's, when I lived in Southern California. I was riding my bike north of Claremont in the foothills, when I saw this stone "house". (I think that the building housed water pump machinery for the citrus groves located a few feet away.)

Taken with a Stereo Realist. This image was one of the sides of the stereo pair; printed using an enlarger. The print was later scanned.

Processed with GIMP.

A bit more on this type of architecture: The foothills below Mt. San Antonio (Old Baldy) were mostly orange groves then, but I expect that it is all filled in by houses these days. Naturally, the area below that high mountain receives huge numbers and sizes of boulders as they wash down during the rains. Farmers realized that these stones could be cemented together to make the wall of a house. There are many "antique" houses in the Claremont and Upland area with this style of walls.

HWW everyone. I don't know why these beings are in that container. Why don't they get out and romp up the hillside like us? It's so much more convenient.

Fountains Abbey from the water meadows

nobody@ipernity.com (Amelia) — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 08:21:20 +0000

Amelia has posted:

The water meadows were covered in buttercups, but also there was speedwell, yellow rattle, lady's smock etc. Perfect. We were lucky that we got there early before the crowds, and the melting heat.

Fountains Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery near Ripon in North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1132, the monastery was dissolved in 1539 as part of the English Reformation. Even in its current state, Fountains is described by Historic England as "the best preserved of English abbeys and the finest picturesque ruin.

The abbey is a Grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and is part of the designated Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site.
