Swift-moving spider by the cabin door, thought at first it must be a fly since it was moving like it was on wings. No idea what, Adanson's had one dark brown picture that matched the shape well.
Jännän värinen
Weird colour
Oxycarenus lavaterae. Els Poblets, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain.
Seen on an old plank so not necessarily originating from location of observation. The lines are "loose", could it be a grass-like plant dried on the wood?
Large crack in a birch, black around. What causes the coloration and swelling?
Life or paint? Saw on one other tree too, I think this has to be paint. On the other hand I seem to have seen similar weird paintlike things in stranger places and concluded it is life. Kai haapa, mäntymäinen runko.
Musta railo Keskuspuiston kuusessa, pakuri kuulemma ei kasvais tässä puulajissa joten ei se. Sieni tai bakteeri lie. Vastaava havainto https://inaturalist.laji.fi/observations/199891194
Keskuspuiston tämän alueen puissa tuntuu olevan paljon pintavaurioita, osa alueesta onkin entistä ampumarataa. Niihin sitten on joihinkin pesiytynyt jänniä juttuja.
Voi ööh kun olet söpö kurre. <3
Clusters of orange-brown millimeter-wide dots at the base of a recentlyish-cut pine in wet environment. Insect eggs, wilted saplings of moss, or fungus/lichen of some sort?
The second picture is of the same cluster 13 days later when the log has been more dry.
Oh goodness, this thistle is where these beetles go sleep for the night? Utterly cute!
