Hawaiian Garden Spider attacks ship

Original spider photo taken by myself.
Giant Hawaiian Garden Spider attacks ship.  Captain wants to know what pest control will do about it.
We were fortunate enough to go on a cruise from Vancouver, BC to Auckland, New Zealand this fall.  It was a glorious adventure; a 38 day cruise with 20 ports of call.  One of those was in Kona on the big island of Hawaii.
While there we walked around the harbor and discovered numerous things, a cool lizard for one and an amazing garden spider.  It was very big - with a body at least an inch long - and an enormous web made out of filaments like guitar strings.  The spider itself was in the middle, waiting for a delicious morsel to come calling.  Unfortunately, the spider was on the other side of the web, and was not accessible because of the dense bush behind it.  I could, however, manage a photo from the side.
As I wrangled myself into position, attempting not to disturb the beast that was patiently waiting for mealtime,  it in fact ensnared a victim and busily began the business of wrapping it up.  I zoomed in with my camera and got a couple of pretty good shots off.  The top image was the best result.  
The rest of the outing was uneventful and we returned to the ship via tender.  That's when I took the second picture, with another tender departing.  Later, when I looked at the images on my computer in our cabin, did it make sense to joint the two together.
I carefully removed all the details from the spider image that did not belong using Photoshop.  I copied it onto the ship image and then altered the angle to make it appear that it was in the process of boarding.  I had to resize it to make it all work.  Then for the piece de restistance, I copied the front off the oncoming tender and placed it in the spider's prisoner.  Voila - instant horror scene.
I entered the shot in an on-board photo contest.  It didn't win, but it turned some heads.  And really, that is what I wanted.  It made some laugh and some cringe, but most of all it made people notice.  Isn't that what a good photo is supposed to do?

The maze of life.

The skeletonizing of a leaf by a leaf miner. Born to tunnel; a simple egg laid on a leaf produces a tiny caterpillar.  It immediately becomes an industrial machine, boring into the leaf and consuming the matter between layers.  Barely visible to the human eye, it proceeds in a relatively straight line until it finds an obstacle.  Undeterred, it changes direction and continues its momentum; becoming larger with each centimeter consumed.  The tunnels become larger and its progress faster.  Soon it has consumed almost half an entire leaf.  Thwarted by the main vein running through the middle, it is now large enough to chew through the tougher structure.  Continuing the destruction, the caterpillar finds an outside edge.  It is time to rest.  Spinning silken web, it makes a bed out of the very vegetation it has been consuming.  When it wakes, it will no longer be a caterpillar, but a newly emerged moth bent on laying its own eggs to start the cycle all over again. This caterpillar is

Willow sawfly larvae; not a caterpillar.

Image
Willow sawfly larvae feeding on a willow leaf. Insects can be very hard to identify, and sometimes even getting the right group of insects can be challenging.  The above photo of a sawfly larva is a good example. Initially, one would probably mistake these caterpillar-like creatures as being either butterfly or moth larvae.  Both sawflies and lepidoptera (the group butterflies and moths belong to) have similar looking young.  The easiest way to tell if it is a caterpillar or sawfly is by paying attention to the prolegs. Prolegs are those peculiar suction cup type feet that exist at the back end of caterpillars.  We know all insects have 6 legs, so why do caterpillars seem to have so many more?  It turns out the first three pairs are the true legs.  The caterpillar's head is close to them.  The rest of the caterpillar has a series of false legs, called prolegs, which continue to the end of the individual.  The number of proleg pairs will help identify if it is a sawfly larva

Cottonwood leaf beetles.

Cottonwood is a kind of tree which is usually found around fresh water.  It grows fast and the trees themselves can become very large.  They only live a short time (for a tree) though, around 80 years, and leave their remains as fodder for all kinds of creatures.  The trees are important because of the stabilizing properties they have for banks and beaches.  While alive, the trees are a favourite food of beavers (the bark) and the leaves are consumed by numerous mammal and insect species.  One of those is the cottonwood beetle. Cottonwood beetles reproduce rapidly and can spawn several generations in a season.  Although cottonwood is their primary food source, they will also take poplar, willow, and aspen.  In large numbers, these insects can defoliate a tree and are serious pests in management areas.  As summer ends adults will find their way under bark or leaf litter on the ground.  Those that survive predation and the sc
