 | Leafhopper on a chicago building door outside back When I was walking my dogs I saw this curious fellow on the outside of my apartment door. My best guess is that he's a leafhopper, a very common insect in the area, but specific info would be appreciated. The first video is from the outside, the second from the inside. I was squatting AND holding my dogs while shooting, which explains the sudden jerks now and again. |

 | Leafhopper Drip Red banded leafhoppers drip a sugary substance called honeydew. The ants love this and will protect the leafhopper. The dripping sounds you hear were found on 'freesound'. I wish I could record the real sounds of this beautiful creature but I don't have a micro mic...I'm looking into it though... |

 | The 17 Year Cicada Race Volume One Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are one of the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable (and often inescapable) acoustic talents. Cicadas are sometimes called "locusts", although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are a kind of grasshopper. Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. This video is The last few months of a Cicadas life: Climbing to the tree tops before they mate. Most of the North American species are in the genus Tibicen - the annual or dog-day cicadas (named after the "Dog Days" because they emerge in late July and August). The best-known North-American genus is Magicicada, however. These periodical cicadas have an extremely long life cycle of 13 or 17 years and emerge in large numbers only to climb to the top of the trees they have been living under. They survive by sucking on the roots of these tress for nourishment. |
 | 獲物をラッピングするエゾウズグモ♀ Spider - Let's Wrap Up This Job! 林道横で水平円網（実際は斜め）を張り、網に掛かった獲物（フタテンオオヨコバイ）をラッピング中のクモを発見（体長6mm）。エゾウズグモ成体♀と教えてもらいました。第一脚のみで網にぶらさがり、第二、三脚で獲物の包みを押さえ、糸疣から引き出した糸でラッピングするのは第四脚。スロー再生でも動きが速過ぎてよく分からないが、一度に複数本の糸を吐いているようです。それにしても、獲物は既に身動き取れなくなっているのに過剰包装じゃないの？ ♪糸巻き巻き、糸巻き巻き、引いて引いてトントントン 追記：ウズグモ類の張る水平円網の特徴として、横糸に粘着球が無く、篩板から吐く特殊な梳糸が使われている。篩板類に属するクモは梳糸をすくために第4脚に毛櫛を持つ（feather-legged ）。またウズグモ類は毒腺が退化しているので獲物に噛み付かず、糸の投げかけと絡め捕りだけで攻撃する。（参考図書：『スパイダー・ウォーズ』新草出版） Adult female of the feather-legged spider (Uloboridae family), Octonoba yesoensis, hanging under the horizontal orb web. She was wrapping a leafhopper (Epiacanthus stramineus) with silk strands. The prey was completely immobilized. The last two minutes in this footage shows 20% slow-motion. In the opening slideshow, you can note her characteristic decorated web called stabilimentum on the central orb. Recorded on early-July, 2007 in Japan.

 | Poodledoo This is a parody of the song "Boodledoo" written by Stohnwal, mixed by Jon-O, and performed by Stohnwal, Jon-O, B-rizzle, Fast Eddy, and Masta Payne. D Mercer, J-rod, and I perform as "Uh-Oh Oreo" to catch a glimpse into the life of dogs who just don't care when and where they squat. |
