  G7112 Black Cutworm in Missouri, MU Extension
Black cutworms have numerous plant hosts and may cause economic damage to seedling plants of corn, cotton, soybeans, turf grasses, vegetables (e.g., lettuce and tomato), wheat and other cultivated and wild plant species.
Black cutworm larvae are difficult to detect because they are active mainly at night and hide beneath dirt clods, in soil cracks or in their burrows during the day.
The smaller percent figure is for lower plant populations (15,000 to 20,000 per acre); whereas, the larger figure is for higher plant populations (22,000 or more per acre).

 V15 - Black Figure Hercules Amphora
Although the fl figure style of vase painting originated in Corinth, it was the rise to power of the city-state of Athens and its subsequent export of pottery throughout the Mediterranean that brought the Athenian fl figure vase painting style to the forefront in the 5th Century.
The figures and scene were then painted on the vase in fl in a silhouette format.
The spacing was more centered, with a primary scene on the body of the vase, and the neck and foot of the vase usually left blank, or lightly filled with vines or checkerboards, as if the vase were a canvas for the painting itself, and not an object on its own to be decorated.

 Question of the Month - Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University
The fact that the current Black Peter is a racialised variant of the devil figure and people (esp. children) are still being taught, through the celebrations and rituals, to "easily associate" evilness and Black Peter with people of color, is exactly the problem here.
When we deconstruct the myth of Saint Nicholas and Black Peter we discover the conviction that fls are inferior, a conviction that does not stand on its own but as we all know is still translated as truth in certain academia, popular media and politics.
Blacks had already experienced the insult of hearing "Black Peter!" shouted at them on the streets in Paramaribo (as they were associated with the figure), but the person shouting was often fl himself.

The fl-figure pottery technique is a style of ancient Greek pottery painting in which the decoration appears as fl silhouettes on a red background.
Apart from fl, other colours could be used by modifying the characteristics of the clay used to paint the vase.
The most common was a yellowish-white derived from a purified iron-free clay, and a purplish-red derived from the same refined clay used to produce the fl areas mixed with ochre (red iron oxide) and water.

 Floridian: Black-figure Neck Amphora, Greek, circa 510 B.C.
Even though this vessel was found in a grave site in southern Italy, it was definitely made in Greece, probably in Athens, because its figures make specific references to that city-state.
It was fired in a wood kiln, which turned the glaze fl, hence the name "fl-figure." Later, artisans reversed the process, covering vessels in glaze, then erasing parts of it, which created finer details.
The story: The vessel's narrative is about Herakles, now know as Hercules, a revered figure in Greek mythology, considered the greatest mortal warrior.
