  2. The #slave #ant #Formica #fusca (#Formicinae) is seen here on common #tansy collecting #honeydew from and guarding the #aphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride. The #workers of this ant #species, which builds #polygynous subterranean nests, are often exploited by other species for nest building. As C. Carere et al. (2018) found, there is a linear link between #individual and #collective #behavior.

  7. The pink #tansyaphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride is native to Europe and prefers forming large #colonies on #tansy #Tanacetum #vulgare.This aphid is very attractive for #ants, as one aphid has a high #honeydew #production with in average 1 milligram of honeydew per hour. Authors M. K. Fischer et al. (2002) found the #aminoacid #concentration in honeydew increasing with #aphid age.

  12. Picked a green flesh honeydew melon to test. The tendril was dried out but that's not saying much since most of the vines for these melons are not looking very good. The flesh was firm and green, the seeds looked full and mature, the taste was cucumber like.

    I made refrigerator pickled melon. 1:1 apple cider vinegar and sugar just cold mixed. They taste pretty good but just about anything in this pickle juice would. 😁

  13. Some garden pics from when I was standing around waiting for a hummingbird that was almost in my face earlier when I didn't have a camera while looking for beans to pick.

    Besides the runner bean flowers with no bird.. The tallest Sweet Marconi pepper plant, the acorn squash and melons in the ground patch with the potatoes beyond them, and the cucumbers.

  14. Has anyone else noticed an abundance of honeydew this year? When I rode into work through Nether Edge, this morning, I thought I had a puncture, but it was just the amount of honeydew on the road making my tyres stick and sound flat! I thought what is the point of honeydew from the tree's perspective? It is wasteful of photosynthesis products and can't do them any good. Then I read up, it's secreted by insects that are essentially messy eaters...... #honeydew #sheffield #netheredge

  15. Well, #adhd did it again. Right now my Interest List is:

    - #muvco
    - assemble mixer pcb that came back last week
    - read #midi files
    - two voices
    - think about low-part-count implementation idea for #polysynth #synthdiy
    - work on #geometricalgebra problem sets (from good-so-far book: geometricalgebra.org/)
    - take birthday present manim course (manim.community/, but more than basics)
    - read Empire of the #Ants and #DawnOfEverything

    That on top of a real job and a #honeydew
