Show and Tell [Bugs and Little Critters in Photography]
Uploaded: September 22, 2012 04:31:28
In wasps, bees and ants the 'metasoma' consists of the second abdominal segment (which typically forms a petiole) and those segments posterior to it, and is often called the gaster rather than referring to it as the "abdomen". In these insects, the first abdominal segment is called the propodeum and is fused to the thorax. The 'metasoma' is armoured with chitinous plates on the upper surface by the tergites and on the lower surface by the sternites.
Lots of anatomical words for your weekend<:))

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
