The size of hoverflies varies depending on the species.[6] For example Paragus tibialis[7][8][9] is 3–5 mm (1⁄8–13⁄64 in) long, while Criorhina nigriventris is 13.6–20.6 mm (17⁄32–13⁄16 in) long.[10] Some, such as members of the genus Baccha, are small, elongated, and slender, while others, such as members of Criorhina, are large, hairy, and yellow and black. As members of the Diptera, all hoverflies have a single functional pair of wings, with the hind wings reduced to balancing organs] Many species are brightly colored, with spots, stripes, and bands of yellow or brown covering their bodies Due to this coloration, they are often mistaken both by insect-eating birds and by humans for wasps or bees; they exhibit Batesian mimicry. Despite this, hoverflies are harmless to humans.[6] Drone flies, Eristalis tenax, are an example of a species of hoverfly who exhibit Batesian mimicry

B. terrestris are pollen-storing bees that generally feed and forage on nectar and pollen The queen is between 20 and 22 mm long, males range from 14 to 16 mm, and workers from 11 to 17 mm. Workers have white-ended abdomens, and look just like workers of the white-tailed bumblebee, B. lucorum, a close relative, apart from the yellowish bands of B. terrestris being darker in direct comparison. The queens of B. terrestris have the namesake buff-white abdomen tip ("tail"); this area is white as in the workers in B. lucorum B. terrestris is unique compared to other bees in that their caste of workers exhibit a wide variation in worker size, with thorax sizes ranging from 2.3 to 6.9 mm in length and masses ranging from 68 to 754 mg

Nog een Passiebloembloem op het #KleinBalkonnetje

They are mostly tendril-bearing vines, with some being shrubs or trees. They can be woody or herbaceous

Passion flowers produce regular and usually showy flowers with a distinctive corona. There can be as many as eight concentric coronal series, as in the case of P. xiikzodz and Passiflora alata. The hallmark of the genus is the androgynophore, a central column to which the stamens and pistil are attached, which can be very long in some species such as Passiflora coactilis. The flower is pentamerous (except for a few Southeast Asian species) and ripens into an indehiscent fruit with numerous seeds.

The fruit ranges from 5–20 centimetres (2–8 in) long and 2.5–5 cm (1–2 in) across, depending upon the species or cultivar

Calibrachoa is de botanische naam van een geslacht uit de nachtschadefamilie (Solanaceae). Het geslacht is vernoemd naar Antonio de Caly Bracho, een Mexicaanse hoogleraar in de farmacie.

De soorten zijn groenblijvende, overblijvende kruiden. De bloemen lijken op die van Petunia, waarmee dit geslacht nauw verwant is en waarin deze planten oorspronkelijk waren ingedeeld. Bij nader onderzoek bleek dat er belangrijke verschillen waren in de chromosomensamenstelling en de voortplantingswijze met de soorten die nu tot Petunia worden gerekend

The house sparrow is typically about 16 cm (6.3 in) long, ranging from 14 to 18 cm (5.5 to 7.1 in).[4] The house sparrow is a compact bird with a full chest and a large, rounded head. Its bill is stout and conical with a culmen length of 1.1–1.5 cm (0.43–0.59 in), strongly built as an adaptation for eating seeds. Its tail is short, at 5.2–6.5 cm (2.0–2.6 in) long. The wing chord is 6.7–8.9 cm (2.6–3.5 in), and the tarsus is 1.6–2.5 cm (0.63–0.98 in).[5][6] Wingspan ranges from 19–25 centimetres (7.5–9.8 in).[5]

In mass, the house sparrow ranges from 24 to 39.5 g (0.85 to 1.39 oz). Females usually are slightly smaller than males. The median mass on the European continent for both sexes is about 30 g (1.1 oz), and in more southerly subspecies is around 26 g (0.92 oz). Younger birds are smaller, males are larger during the winter, and females are larger during the breeding season. Birds at higher latitudes, colder climates, and sometimes higher altitudes are larger (under Bergmann's rule), both between and within subspecies
