The podcast where every Tuesday we talk about something Entomological. This week is another listener request from the Heartland for a special kind of dragonfly.   Introduction   The blue morpho dragonfly or morpho dragonfly scientifically known as Zenithoptera lanei is a beautiful dragonfly found within open marshes of Central America and the northern half of South America. They belong to the family Libellulidae which happens to be the largest family of dragonflies and are commonly referred to as skimmers. As the name suggests, the wings on these incredible creatures are a reflective blue just like the blue morpho butterflies but this is exclusively on the males. These dragonflies also have the same light diffracting properties as morpho butterflies, meaning these wings are not actually blue at all but get their intense color through light moving through a bunch of crystal like structures in the wings, which then bounce off and cancel out the new light hitting its surface.  The undersides of their wings are also a completely different color similar to morpho butterflies except these insects have a mix of metallic red and Black underwings. For the most part I would say they're Black which I guess technically is the absence of color, but this isn't an art lesson or a physics lesson so we're moving on        Life Cycle, and food source:    The life cycle of a morpho dragonfly begins like all other dragonflies with eggs being oviposited near water and go through a series of molts underwater as predatory nymphs/naiads. The Naiads for dragonflies in the family Libellulidae are more stout than others, and they also have half their face covered by the lower jaw or labium which is shaped like a spoon to capture smaller insects. In general most naiads in this family hunt down prey by camouflaging in with their background either by burying themselves into sediment or clinging on to plants and rocks.  The adults feed on any small soft-bodied flying insects like moths, mayflies, midges, flies, and sometimes wasps, but in general many neotropic dragonfly species in the family Libellulidae avoid wasps and bees.  In general dragonflies within this family prefer ovipositing their eggs in still water, but some will do it in streams or moving currents as well. This is not the case however for the morpho dragonfly which do in fact prefer still waters.    Behaviors:    These dragonflies operate during midday which leaves them with high exposure to UV and heat. Fortunately they were built for this, and actually have evolved some special traits to maneuver through the most daunting of days.    The blue reflective wings actually act as heat conductors, pulling heat away from the body and diverging it through their wings. They also have another special skill which is only found in one other genus of dragonflies and that would be the ability to fold their wings vertically like a damselfly. When these dragonflies have their wings spread out it actually pulls heat away from the body,    and once the dragonflies close their wings, they can begin heating their body up again by absorbing light into the deep red/ black undersides. This is why these dragonflies will flap their wings periodically while perched within their territory. Skimmer dragonflies in general have evolved many different methods for keeping themselves cool during the day because in general, most skimmers love perching on plants, twigs or other upright surfaces in or near water so they can focus on observing the open air for prey and threats. Some behavioral adaptations seen in other skimmers to stay cool would be   Take an obelisk posture, which literally comes from the word obelisk to mean a tall tapering pillar, and the stance is exactly like that with the dragonflies lifting their abdomen up vertically into the sky to limit the surface area receiving UVs. Another more simple method would be to simply skim over the water and lightly touch the surface to drop their body temperature. I've actually seen both of these behaviors many times with skimmer dragonflies.  Skimmer dragonflies tend to be territorial, and today's morpho dragon is especially so. Sometimes they'll  go as far as to bite each other while in aerial combat.  One behavioral trait noted by a research team was that males will always turn and face the opposing dragonfly with a flash of their open wings before taking off into aerial pursuit. It is believed that this is to throw the target off guard by blending in with the background to get closer without being noticed. The iridescent blue of their wings acts as a form of camouflage against the water's surface, which also helps them evade predators like birds which rely on sight.  In a separate study, scientists found that the blue on their wings actually dictates how aggressive other males will be when in their territory. The study was done in Brazil with wild caught dragonflies, and they were able to test aggression levels by literally tethering dragonflies to wooden stakes using a cotton string and then introducing them to another male. The male dragonflies used in this study were separated into two groups. One was a control group which had 55% of their wings artificially covered using a black marker that could not reflect UV, and the other had only 10% of their wings covered.  The results found that dragonflies with less reflective blue in the presence of another male were far less likely to be engaged in battle as opposed to dragonflies that had a greater area of blue on their wings. This basically means that males rely on the color of their wings to identify the gender within their own species.    Unfortunately there is not a lot of information available specifically for this species of dragonfly which is why we're ending the episode here, but if you want more Insects for Fun don't worry! There is currently a Youtube shorts channel which I recently started titled Insects for Fun (same logo) and I'll put the link in the description. And! This summer I will be opening up the patreon which offers a collection of monthly bonus episodes for an entirely separate series talking about cool discoveries and noteworthy news in the world of insects among other perks.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz are back once again to update you on the latest news (including some Percy Jackson television tidbits), discuss Daughter of the Deep (don't worry, it's spoiler-free!), and analyze chapters seven and eight of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates Have you met Granny Z from Tristan Strong? Be sure to check out #Olympiantober2021 for some amazing artwork! The Storm Runner series by J.C. Cervantes is now in paperback. Daniel José Older wrote a Star Wars story called Trail of Shadows. Sarwat Chadda finished writing Rise of the Chaos Goddess! Rick has a new update from his blog on October 24, 2021! Don't forget about the October 25 media tour! Aditi Brennan Kapil is co-writing Daughter of the Deep with Rick. They're currently looking for a screenwriter to go over the Kane Chronicles script. Rick and Co. visited ILM's “Volume” stage. Filming MIGHT begin in June 2022 if we get a greenlight by Jan. 2022. They're filming in Vancouver. There are a lot of trees there. We can't wait to see what the creatures will look like! Daughter of the Deep This episode is as spoiler-free as possible, but you've been warned! What's Daughter of the Deep about, exactly? Let's talk about the Houses and which one didn't feel quite right at first. Which house did they THINK they would be? Karen and Kristen take the Daughter of the Deep house quiz. Now it's time to talk about some of the characters. Ana Dakkar was an incredible main character. Karen has one tiny criticism, but she feels better now that she's talked it out. Ester is one of the best characters in the book, hands down. And don't forget little Top! (Is he based on someone we know?) Nelinha is a BABE, and she's such a cool and supportive friend. Gem was not at all what he seemed at first. Animal sidekicks for the win! It's hard not to talk about them, but we don't want to ruin some of the surprises. Karen thinks this book was pretty violent at times, but Kristen has a good counterargument. The diversity of characters was amazing, and it's going to look so good on screen. The language usage in this book was incredible, especially because Rick could write in Italian and Irish. Roshani Chokshi served as a sensitivity reader, and her enthusiasm was palpable. How did Rick do when it came to writing a character so unlike himself? Jules Verne's books exist in the world of Daughter of the Deep and that's kinda trippy. At the end of the day, what is this book about? Is there any chance for a Daughter of the Deep sequel? Chapter Reviews This week, Karen and Kristen discuss The Lightning Thief chapters 7 and 8. What would it be like to have your dad at camp ALL THE TIME? Also, Mr. D is a far cry from Dumbledore (but maybe that's a good thing). Kristen is very passionate about her theory regarding the Naiads at the bottom of the lake. So, Luke hates prophecies, huh? Annabeth has the BEST battle plans. Capture the flag seems fun but also very, very dangerous. Did Clarisse learn NOTHING? Is Poseidon just being a drama king? Zeus gets off way too easily. Who else is a demigod besides Houdini? Karen cried. Don't forget about the heckpuppy. (Please let us know who the artist is!) Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next week for episode 5, which will go more in-depth about the Nico di Angelo standalone novel. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

Listen to episode 182 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Art of Becoming You | The Power to Be Oneself. Adapted from The Aim of Life by Philip Stafford Moxom. Motivational Podcast Excerpt: The thoughts that I wish to present to you now gather themselves naturally about two simple propositions: The first of these is: Every one ought consciously to have an aim in life. Whether we are conscious of it or not, everyone has a ruling tendency; but everyone should also have a controlling and persistent purpose in life. No one has a right to live aimlessly, for no one has a right to abandon reason and self-control, and consent to be a mere waif drifting like a plaything of the winds. We are endowed with powers that make us capable of good and often great achievement. We are gifted with reason and conscience and will, in order that we may both become and do that which is noble and beneficent. In the mythology of the Greeks, Phaethon aspired to drive the flaming chariot of the sun. The task was beyond his human powers, and his disastrous rashness resulted in his death by a bolt hurled from the hand of Zeus; but the Naiads, who buried him, wrote in his epitaph: "He could not rule his father's car of fire; Yet it was much so nobly to aspire." The individual who drifts aimlessly through the years from youth to age does not truly live. Indeed, those whose aim is even lower than the highest, less than the greatest, is nobler than those who have no conscious purpose in life. But, besides being ignoble, a purposeless life is inefficient; to aim at nothing is to hit nothing. Related Motivational Podcasts: The 8 Pillars of Prosperity What is Your Ambition?

Written in 1723 to celebrate the centenary of the Hamburg Admiralty it tackles watery subjects such as the sea deities Thetis, Neptune and Triton, sporting Naiads and even the city's drainage channels! Lucie Skeaping explores the work and its musical context. Contains a complete performance of the suite by Ensemble Zefiro, directed by Alberto Bernardini.
