A Walk Around Old Town & Catching Up With A Friend - Dresden, Germany
Today was a very full day. We started with a walk around Dresden, checking out some places we missed yesterday. First stop, was the Church of the Holy Cross (pictured above) and then on to the Rathaus (pictured below).
We continued to wander around checking out some of the other buildings in Old Town. Domes in the distance in this picture, but we didn’t figure out what they belonged to.
Theater Building.
Statue in Bruhlsche Garten.
Moritz Monument built on the outside wall of the Bruhl Terrace, it is one of the oldest preserved structures in Dresden.
Along the Bruhl Terrace Wall, looking for the historic city gates. Which we found, in the pictures below, but they didn’t really impress us and were hard to check out due to fear of being run over!
Another view of Kathedrale Sanctissimae.
Residenzschloss and the Bridge over Taschenberg Street.
Residenzschloss.
Lunch on the plaza, before we headed back to our place to rest up for this evening’s activities.
A few years ago, when we were staying in a free campsite just outside of Bryce Canyon NP with our friends, John and Charmaine, we met up with a guy from Paris, France who was bicycling around the world. His name was Nico, and he spent a couple of days with us. We have kept in touch with him on and off over the years, he is now living in Dresden. We are meeting him and his family this evening. We walked about 45 minutes to meet him at a designated location (we really don’t mind walking). From there, we walked a short distance to a beautiful park and met his beautiful family - his wife, Sabine, his son, Lucas, and his daughter, Sophie. We hung out with them for a couple of hours - visiting a beer garden for dinner and then walking back to their place to enjoy a bottle of wine from his wine cellar. What a lovely evening!
Doug, getting to know Sophie.
Lucas, Nicolai (Nico), Sabine, and Sophie.
A cool historical plaque near their home.
The building that their home is in - quite a gorgeous structure.
Nico’s impressive wine cellar!

Staff Pick of the Week
This week’s staff pick is part 4, volume 1 of Brehms Thierleben, published in Leipzig in 1884. This volume is on insects, and features work by German entomologist Ernst Ludwig Taschenberg. Brehms Thierleben is a multivolume zoological encyclopedia by Alfred Edmund Brehm that was first published under the title Illustrirtes Thierleben from 1864-1869. A second edition with the new title Brehms Thierleben was published as a ten volume set from 1876 to 1879, and was later reprinted from 1882 to 1884.
I chose this book because of the gorgeous chromolithograph illustrations of insect life. Lately, my love of bugs has reached an all-time high. I think they are fascinating, alien-like creatures. While I would not want to stumble across the Goliath bird-eating spider in real life, I enjoy looking at pictures of them. Some other insects that I’ve chosen to highlight are the Hercules beetle, lanternflies (not to be confused with fireflies), and silk moths.
It also happens to be National Insect Week in the UK. I have not found anything similar here in the United States, but maybe someone should start it?

Introduction to Spider Wasp
A. asiaticus of spider wasp
A. asiaticus may refer to:
An abbreviation of a species name. In binomial nomenclature the name of a species is always the name of the genus to which the species belongs, followed by the species name (also called the species epithet). In A. asiaticus the genus name has been abbreviated to A. and the species has been spelled out in full. In a document that uses this abbreviation it should always be clear from the context which genus name has been abbreviated.
Some of the most common uses of A. asiaticus are:
Acartauchenius asiaticus, a money spider species in the genus Acartauchenius
Aduncothrips asiaticus, a thrip species in the genus Aduncothrips
Aesalus asiaticus, a beetle species in the genus Aesalus
Alastor asiaticus, a wasp species in the genus Alastor
Araneus asiaticus, an orb-weaver spider species
Archaeornithomimus asiaticus, a dinosaur species
Asiabadus asiaticus, a ground spider species in the genus Asiabadus
Asprella asiaticus, a snail species in the genus Asprella
------
Mesosoma of spider wasp
The mesosoma is the middle part of the body, or tagma, of arthropods whose body is composed of three parts, the other two being the prosoma and the metasoma. It bears the legs, and, in the case of winged insects, the wings.
In hymenopterans of the suborder Apocrita (wasps, bees and ants), it consists of the three thoracic segments and the first abdominal segment (the propodeum). For historical reasons, in ants it is commonly referred to by the alternative name alitrunk.
In scorpions, it is composed of six segments and forms the first part of the abdomen, containing all of the major organs. The first segment contains the sexual organs as well as a pair of vestigial and modified appendages forming a structure called the genital operculum. The second segment bears a pair of featherlike sensory organs known as the pectines; the final four segments each contain a pair of book lungs. The mesosoma is armoured with chitinous plates, on the upper surface by the tergites and on the lower surface by the sternites.
In other arachnids such as spiders, the mesosoma is fused with the metasoma to form the opisthosoma.

Wytham Woods of spider wasp
Wytham Woods is a 423.8-hectare (1,047-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Oxford in Oxfordshire. It is a Nature Conservation Review site.
Habitats in this site, which formerly belonged to Abingdon Abbey, include ancient woodland and limestone grassland. Over 500 species of vascular plant have been recorded, and more data about the bird, mammal and invertebrate fauna, have probably been recorded about this site than any other in the country as a result of studies by Oxford University. More than 900 species of beetles, 580 of flies, 200 of spiders, 700 of bees, wasps and ant, 250 of true bugs and 27 of earthworms have been recorded.
Access is only allowed with a permit from the owner, Oxford University.
------
Irenangelus of spider wasp
Ireangelus is a genus of kleptoparasitic spider wasps from the sub-family Ceropalinae of the family Pompilidae. The genus has a pan tropical distribution,being known from Oriental, Neotropical, Australian, eastern Palearctic, and Madagascan Zoogeographic regions being best represented in the Neotropics. Irenangelus is closely related to the more widespread genus Ceropales, the two genera forming a monophyletic subfamily, Ceropalinae within the Pompilidae. This is regarded as the most basal grouping of the Pompilidae but this view is problematic because of the kleptoparasitic life history of the Ceropalines, it is now considered that they Ceropalines and other pompilids evolved from a common ectoparasitoid ancestor.
------
Priocnemis perturbator of spider wasp
Priocnemis perturbator is a relatively large species of spider wasp which is quite common in Europe. It was previously considered to be the same species as the closely related P. susterai which were lumped as P. fuscus and this means that some early observations of behaviour are not applicable to either species. Even now the two species need close observation under a microscope or hand lens to distinguish them from each other.
------

Nigricauda, a Latin word meaning black-tailed, may refer to:
B. nigricauda
Brycinus nigricauda, Thys van den Audenaerde, 1974, a ray-finned fish species in the genus Brycinus
D. nigricauda
Dasymutilla nigricauda, a wasp species in the genus Dasymutilla
E. nigricauda
Enneapterygius nigricauda, Fricke, 1997, the blacktail triplefin, a fish species in the genus Enneapterygius
N. nigricauda
Nephrotoma nigricauda, Alexander, 1925, a species in the genus ''Nephrotoma
R. nigricauda
Rineloricaria nigricauda, a freshwater tropical catfish species in the genus Rineloricaria
------
Behavior of spider wasp
Megarhyssa nortoni is a predatory insect. Its larvae are parasitoids of horntail wasp larvae in coniferous trees. The adult female hunts horntail larvae for egg placement. It smells wood-eating fungus, utilized by the horntail larvae to predigest wood pulp, and uses its antennae to detect vibrations made by the horntail larvae. The female M. nortoni curls its ovipositor over its abdomen to insert the tip of the ovipositor at a right angle into the bark and cuts into the tree until it reaches the horntail larval tunnel. The female then deposits a very slender egg through its ovipositor into the tunnel on or near the horntail larva. The M. nortoni larva then hatches to eat the live horntail larval host from the inside causing the horntail larva's eventual death. The M. nortoni larva pupates inside its host and emerges the following summer as an adult.
Although imposing, the female M. nortoni does not sting and is harmless to humans. Adult M. nortoni feed on nectar and water.
------
Dipogon of spider wasp
Dipogon is a genus of spider wasps of the family Pompilidae in the subfamily Pepsinae. They are found in Europe, Asia, and North America. Their generic name ("two beards") comes from the characteristic long bristle tufts just below the mandibles, which are used to carry material to construct the cells in the nest, and for constructing the nest.
Species in Dipogon include:
------
Homonotus of spider wasp
Homonotus is a genus of spider hunting wasps with an old world distribution, mainly in Africa.
Species in the genus include
Homonotus aegyptiacus Turner, 1917
Homonotus coxalis Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus disparilis Turner, 1917
Homonotus dispersus Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus dissectus Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus formosanus Yasumatsu 1933
Homonotus fuscipes Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus imitans Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus iwatai Yasumatsu 1932

Homonotus ruficornis Cameron, 1905
Homonotus rukwaensis Arnold, 1946
Homonotus sanguinolentus (Fabricius, 1793)
Homonotus sansibaricus Dahlbom, 1843
Homonotus semiflavus Priesner 1955
Homonotus tagalicus Banks 1934
Homonotus taiwanus Tsuneki 1990
------
Tastiotenia festiva of spider wasp
Tastiotenia festiva is a species of spider wasp in the subfamily Pompilinae. It was first described by its discoverer, Howard Ensign Evans, in 1950. It is a rather small spider wasp species, growing from 36.
5 mm in length and has only been observed rarely. It lives in the desert regions of the south-western United States (southern California to western Texas) as well as northern Mexico (Sonora and Baja California). Based on Evans' biological observation in 1961, it is assumed that Tastiotenia festiva consumes black widow spiders as part of its diet and that it utilizes burrows made by other wasps for nesting.
------
Thalassianthus aster of spider wasp
Thalassianthus aster is a species of sea anemone in the family Thalassianthidae. It dwells in a number of habitats, even existing symbiotically on top of other motile invertebrates such as hermit crabs in a relationship similar to the pom pom crab. Its nematocysts contain a Type-II Na-channel toxin known as -TLTX-Ta1a according to the currently developing systematic nomenclature for peptide and protein toxins from sea anemones.

Biota of spider wasp
It seems no detailed survey has been done of the lake. As cattle often walk in the lake it is likely to be polluted. In the 1970s the dunes between the lake and the harbour were sown with tree lupin (Lupinus arboreus) and Marram Grass, which has reduced sand movement and provided a low quality pasture. Frogs can be heard croaking in the lake. The pompilid wasp (Cryptocheilus australis) and its prey, the nursery web spider (Dolomedes minor), have been seen near the lake
------
Biology of spider wasp
Adults of T. unicolor feed at honeydew secretions and flowers. Females have been captured at honeydew from galls of Disholcapsis eldoradensis on Quercus lobata and at flowers of Asclepias erosa, Baccharis sarothroides, Chrysothamnus sp., Lepidospartum squamatum, and Wislizenia refracta. Males have been taken on the flowers of Calochortus catalinae, Hemizonia fasciculata, Rhamnus californica, and Xanthium spinosum. Both males and females visit the extrafloral nectaries of Helianthus and have been collected at flowers of Atriplex semibaccata, Cicuta sp., Eriogonum fasciculatum, Eriogonum gracile, and Foeniculum vulgare. The flight period in California is from May to October, with a peak in July and August.
------
Anatrachyntis terminella of spider wasp
Anatrachyntis terminella is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864 and is known from Australia (including New South Wales) and Fiji.
The wingspan is about 8mm. The forewings are patterned and hindwings have trailing hairy fringes.
The larvae have been recorded in deserted nests of wasps of the genus Polistes, galls on flower buds of Acacia binervata, egg sacs of the spider Trichonephila edulis as well as dead insects and dead leaves.
------
Geology of spider wasp
Brown clay underlies the dunes, which limits the rate of seepage through the dunes, thus forming lakes where dune advance has blocked valleys. The lake bed and stream are on Awhitu sands. They are about a million years old and made up of pumiceous cross bedded brown and yellow clayey sands. The lake is dammed by dunes of Nukumiti Sands which have formed in the last 800 years.
------
Scelioninae of spider wasp
Scelioninae is a subfamily of wasps in the family Platygastridae. It is a very large cosmopolitan group (over 3000 described species in some 160 genera) of exclusively parasitoid wasps, mostly small (0.510mm), often black, often highly sculptured, with (typically) elbowed antennae that have a 9- or 10-segmented flagellum. It was formerly considered to be a family Scelionidae but has been reclassified as a subfamily of the Platygastridae.
The subfamilies Scelioninae, Teleasinae, and Telenominae were formerly in the family Scelionidae, but Scelionidae was combined with the family Platygastridae because of genetic similarities. The name Platygastridae was retained for the resulting family because of seniority.
------
Species of spider wasp
The species in the genus are:
Batozonellus aliciae (Bingham, 1896)
Batozonellus annulitarsis (Cameron, 1891)
Batozonellus bipunctatus Banks, 1941

Batozonellus willistoni Banks, 1944Some species formerly placed within the genus Batozonellus have been assigned to the genus Parabatozonus by some authorities, including the type species of the genus, Batozonellus fuliginosus. If this classification is to be followed then a new type species will have to be designated for Batozonellus. The species reclassified under Parabatozonus are:
Batozonellus annulatus (Fabricius, 1793)
Batozonellus bioculatus (Bingham, 1896)
Batozonellus bracatus (Bingham, 1890)

The water is safe for drinking and bathing even though it may be discolored. The discoloration is a result of rust and sediment buildup in the water lines and is not harmful. It should clear in approximately 24 hours. Since the water mains are all interconnected, hydrant flushing in adjacent neighborhoods may possibly affect your water as well.

Drezda, Szászország szíve
Szászország fővárosa Drezda, mely gazdasági, kulturális és pénzügyi központ is egyben, de Európa „Szilícium-völgyének” is nevezik, mert az informatika központja is. Altstadt a város régi központja, mely az Elba déli partján helyezkedik el és I. Ágost uralkodása alatt barokk építészeti remekművekkel fejlesztették a várost. Szerencsére a II. világháborúban elszenvedett sérülések nagy része a kelet és nyugatnémet részek újraegyesítését követően újjáépítésre került, ezzel pazar látvánnyá varázsolva a várost a turisták szemében. Érdekességképpen Kurt Vonnegut Drezda II. világháborús bombázásakor hadifogoly volt a városban, ez az élmény később műveiben is megjelent. Drezda számos kulturális rendezvénynek ad otthont és a sokszínű művészi gyűjtemények jó része I. Ágost uralkodó gyűjteményére alapozva fejlődött ki. A Városi Galéria műgyűjteménye mellett érdemes megnézni a Régi mesterek képgyűjteményt (Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister), a Rézkarc-gyűjteményt, a Porcelán gyűjteményt, a Fegyvertárat, a Drezdai Közlekedési Múzeumot. A drezdai barokk építészet csúcspontja a Zwinger, mely szobrokkal díszített pavilonokkal, galériákkal keretezett. Erős Ágost fejedelem azért építette, mert a narancsfái számára védett helyet akart biztosítani. A Zwinger legszebb részei a Wallpavilon, a Nymphenpad, a Kronentor és a Stadtpavilon, melyek 1711-1722 között épült. A Zwinger a fejedelmi műgyűjteménynek ad otthont, de a porcelánmúzeum, az óngyűjtemény, a Matematikai-Fizikai Szalon, az Állattani Múzeum és a Történeti Múzeum is itt található. Erős Ágost fia, aki egyben utódja is, Frigyes Ágost herceg itt tartotta esküvőjét az osztrák császár leányával1719-ben. Az eredeti meisseni porcelán, amellyel akkor terítettek, királyok, uralkodók asztalát díszítették, ma a porcelángyűjtemény részét képezik. Erős Ágost szenvedélyesen gyűjtötte a kínai és japán porcelánokat, majd a gyár megalapításától (1710) kezdve a meissenieket is. A Theaterplatz - Színház tér, Európa egyik legszebb tere körül sorakoznak a különböző stíluskorokból származó gyönyörű épületek: a Gemäldegalerie (Képtár), az Operaház, az Óvárosi őrház (Altstädter Wache), az egykori katolikus Udvari templom (Hofkirche) és a luxusszállodaként újjáépített Taschenberg-palota. A Semper opera a Theaterplatzon eredeti szobrai a bejáratnál található Schiller és Goethe, balra tőlük Shakespeare és Sophokles, jobbra Molière és állnak. Gottfried Semper tervei alapján fia, Manfred Semper irányítása alatt építették 1871 és 1878 között az eredeti épület 1869-es leégését követően. A Frauenkirche Németország egyik legszebb és legjelentősebb evangélikus temploma volt, mely G. Bähr építész tervei alapján 1726 és 1743 között épült. A templom teljes egészében kőből épült fel, 96 m magas kupolája pedig "kőharang" néven vált ismertté, és Drezda egyik jelképévé vált. A templom teljesen kiégett a II. világháború végén, és nem építették újjá, a romokat háborús mementóként a téren hagyták. 1992-ben a város önkormányzata megszavazta a templom újjáépítését. Ehhez szétválogatták a romokat, s kiválasztották a még felhasználható darabokat. Ezeknek eredeti helyét egy háromdimenziós számítógépes szimulációs program segítségével határozták meg. A templom ugyanazokból az anyagokból, szinte ugyanazzal a technikával és az eredeti darabok felhasználásával épült újjá. A Hofkirche barokk épületét Gaetano Chiaveri építette 1739-1754 között. A Hofkirche háromhajós templom négy sarokkápolnával. A főoltár és az orgona közötti páholyok, s később a kastélyhoz vezető folyosó is a katolikus fejedelmi család és az udvari nemesek számára volt fenntartva. A templom legszebb díszei közé tartoznak Mattielli 3,5 méter magas homokkő szobrai, melyekből összesen 78 darab ékesíti a templomot. A Kreuzkirche a régi Drezda egyik jellegzetes épülete. A templom az idők során ötször pusztult el, és ötször épült újjá. Mai formájában Schmid és Exner tervei szerint épült újjá, miután templom 1945-ben kiégett, 1955-re helyreállították. Belső kiképzése egyszerűbb lett, elhagyták a barokk díszítőelemeket, de továbbra is érdemes meglátogatnunk. Click to Post
