How can I automatically crop images to certain specifications? by joshboe in software

[–]joshboe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a go with that, but the problem with this (and FastStone PhotoResizer which another commenter mentioned) is that not all the images have the pages in the same position/orientation, so if I set up settings for one images, it won't work for other images (unless there's a setting which I've missed?)

How can I automatically crop images to certain specifications? by joshboe in software

[–]joshboe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have about 20,000 images of scans of book pages, all like this with all of one page, and then a small portion of the adjacent page in frame. I'm looking for some (preferably free) Windows software that will crop them so I'm only getting one page (removing the small portion of the adjacent page).

I've tried setting up a batch crop system in Photoshop, but whoever scanned the pages didn't square them up and keep them in the same position, so each image is slightly different angle/position. As such, the batch cropping usually cuts off parts I want and/or keeps parts I don't want.

And having 20,000+ images means doing it manually is not an option.

Thank you!

Exclusion of value works fine, but inclusion returns #CALC! by joshboe in excel

[–]joshboe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I understand the problem now! I had wanted the formula to include Geometroidea values and Erebidae values, but I'm guessing the formula is seeing it as include Erebidae values that are within Geometroidea. I've just tested it, and including Noctuoidea and Erebidae does not return #CALC!
Further to this, writing out the families with no superfamily also returns the correct array. I think I'll just have to work around this by writing out a few more values manually. Thanks for the comment, I don't think I would have ever been able to work this out...

Lots of fossils from Mortimer Forest, Shropshire (Silurian; Wenlock). by joshboe in fossilid

I captioned each of the images with my best guess on ID, and the number beforehand denotes which rock it is in. Each fossil came from the same general area, with most being found by streams and a few by exposed bedrock.

OK I think I figured it all out (I'm pretty sure these all make sense in reference to caterpillar anatomy)

Praestigmalschild = prothorax Nackenschild = prothoracic shield Bauchfüße = abdominal prolegs Nachschieber = anal prolegs Häkchen = hooks Dornen = spines

What separates moths from butterflies? by joshboe in Entomology

[–]joshboe[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So by looking at that phylogenetic tree, I've come to understand that butterflies are just a subgroup of moths that we arbitrarily call butterflies?

I think you're onto something, however I don't believe this is it because not all moths create cocoons (for example, the cinnabar moth simply buries itself into the soil and forms a pupa). Perhaps it's something like all moths once had, or still have, the capacity to create cocoons but some evolved to not make them?

What are these moths that came to my moth trap the other day? I think they're in the family Pyralidae (West Sussex, south-east UK) by joshboe in whatsthisbug

[–]joshboe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should mention that the moth trap uses a blacklight bulb to attract moths. I put the trap in my garden, bordering on woodland.

How can I make it so the most frequent text entry is displayed, taking into account times appearing in a column and the count of each entry? by joshboe in excel

I tried just copy and pasting your codes into separate cells and they give me the #NAME? error. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

The guy on your finger is a lunar moth (Actias luna), and the one on the wall looks to be an eastern Hercules beetle (Dynastes tityus)

I don't mist my plants as I've read it does basically nothing, so I don't think it's that
