State natural reserve "Pillars" is located in north-western spurs of Eastern Sayan bordering the Central Siberian Plateau. The natural boundaries of protected areas is the right tributary of the Yenisei River. The height of the rocks reaches 60-90 m. The author posted photos of his trip to this reserve. Look and admire…

Darwin’s bark spider (Caerostris darwini) is an orb-weaver spider that produces one of the largest known orb webs, web size ranged from 900–28,000 cm2, with anchor lines spanning up to 25 metres (82 ft). The spider was discovered in Madagascar in the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park in 2009. The species was named in honour of the naturalist Charles Darwin, with the description being prepared precisely 150 years after the publication of The Origin of Species, on 24 November 2009.

Its silk is the toughest biological material ever studied, over ten times tougher than a similarly-sized piece of Kevlar. The average toughness of the fibres is 350 MJ/m3, and some are up to 520 MJ/m3, making the silk twice as tough as any other spider silk known. The web of Darwin’s bark spider is remarkable in that it is not only the longest spanning web ever observed, but is among the largest orb webs ever seen, at an area of up to 2.8 square metres (30 sq ft). Nephila komaci, discovered in 2009, and some other Nephila species also make webs that can exceed 1 m (3 ft 3 in) across.

According to professor Ingi Agnarsson, director of the Museum of Zoology at the University of Puerto Rico, the spider’s web occupies a unique biological niche: "They build their web with the orb suspended directly above a river or the water body of a lake, a habitat that no other spider can use". This position allows the spiders to catch prey flying over the water, with webs observed containing up to 32 mayflies at a time. The strong silk and large web are thought to have coevolved at the same time, as the spider adapted to the habitat. Scientists are currently researching how the spider is able to weave such a large web over water along with being able to anchor drag lines on either side of a river.

Like other spiders of the genus, Darwin’s bark spider displays extreme sexual dimorphism, with large females (18 cm) and small males (6 cm).
The spider was described along with a previously undescribed species of fly, which appeared to have a kleptoparasitic relationship with it. The flies often feed on the spider’s catches before the spider wraps them. Occasionally, spiders have been observed to chase away the flies when they land on something that the spider is eating.

   In Kazakhstan, a newly appointed senator Sergey Kulagin, depicted on the mural of a new orthodox cathedral in the town of Rudny.

The plot murals – "Entry into Jerusalem," the senator is also among the welcoming of Jesus Christ.

The senator, seem isn’t  very much glad to see Son of God in contrast to the other who greet: and not  to prostrate, not to applaud, and generally looks not to the Saviour, and somewhere to the side.

Quite possibly, it happened because the senator was the only one whom painters painted from life – or rather, from a photograph.

   but in general, this method of applying himself to the history of seemly, than say stupidly write charcoal:  "Here there was Sergei Kulagin"

Phenomenon in the form of well shaken up sea foam have nicknamed coastal cappuccino. This natural phenomenon is very rare.

These pictures were taken on the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. According to scientists, marine cappuccino is formed as a result of large-scale mixing of algae, sea foam, strong winds and the various wastes.

In Tatarstan (Russian federation), a 24-year-old tattoo artist decided to make my cat tattoo. Thus, the guy wanted to make a pet like myself.

Timur tattooed on his chest cat breed Sphynx phrase, which became addition to its own tattoo on a similar place.

To two-year cat to a tattoo Coco did under anesthetic. An animal have lulled on an hour. All this time it was under supervision of the veterinary surgeon. The tattoo on the Latin "Carpe diem" means "to enjoy the moment." It is true at the cat word "diem" is written with an error.
