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 star...

Western thrashing ant attacking insect larva.

Western thrashing ant attacking insect larva. We arrived at an area of southwest Washington called Long Beach yesterday.   This morning I was out for a quiet walk with my camera; it was equipped with a macro lens and macro lighting system.   It is always fun to explore new places to see what kinds of finds can be discovered.   I had quite a bit of luck as I ended up with half a dozen pictures which I am excited about.   The one above is an example. Thrashing ants feed on a wide variety of foods.   They will take seeds, honeydew from aphids, and small prey items such as this insect larva.   Ants have very strong jaws.   They are capable of subduing smaller insects with relative ease and, when working together, can overpower significantly larger creatures.   They will bring their find back to the nest where it will be fed to larvae, the queen, and shared amongst the adults.   When in “bug mode,” I am scanning the environment for a...

How to get rid of a wasp's nest.

Image
The yellow jacket wasp. Yesterday I was busily working on some yard work when I looked up and saw a most uncomfortable sight.  Wasps had moved in.  A small nook in my deck cover was now the home to a yellow jacket wasp colony.  If I have learned anything about wasps during my time on Mother Earth, it is that wasp nests only get bigger over time.  It is better to deal with them now rather than later.  It is one of those problems you simply cannot ignore and hope it goes away.  If you have ever played one of those computer games where you obtain resources and build an empire, the development of a wasp nest is something like that.  A single wasp, a queen, slowly constructs a tiny enclave in some hopefully safe spot.  Foraging for food, she builds a nest, lays her eggs, and tends the young until they mature.  These underlings then go on to forage, build, and tend in a slowly exponential manner.  Soon, small becomes big, then big beco...
