Another one from my archives, but a unique animal. Not seen frequently. (You will notice another "red" eye just above his back, behind the tree.)
The Bush Pig is a strong, stocky pig with powerful forequarters. Its upper tusks are barely visible, but the lower tusks are razor sharp and grow to 7cm in length. It is very dangerous when surprised in the bush or wounded during hunting, it can inflict serious wounds with the sharp, protruding canines. An adult boar measures up 900mm at the shoulder and can weigh as much 60 Kgs.
Bush Pigs can thrive in close proximity to human settlements as a consequence of their stealth and predilection for agricultural food crops such, potatoes, maize, tomatoes, sugar cane and other vegetables. Some farmers consider the Bush Pig as a pest because of such crop damage. In the wild they feed on plant roots, rhizomes, bulbs, tubers, fruits and insect larvae which are rooted from the subsurface soil.
Bush Pigs are also the largest animals in the subregion to build nests. Sows bite off grass and pile it into heaps up to 3m across and one metre high, which when completed looks like a small haystack. Apart from suckling them, the sows leave the care of piglets to the dominant boar. It also readily wades in water to reach aquatic plants, and is a strong swimmer which wallows in mud to cool down. Once piglets are introduced to the group, boars assume the role of protector. Piglets remain with the group until the age of six months, and thereafter are evicted from the group by the dominant pair.

Found in dense forests and underbrush situations along rivers, streams and at the bases of mountains of the Eastern Cape Province, Kwazulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and the Northern Province of South Africa, and further northwards through tropical Africa.
Their main predators are Leopards.
Don't waste anything of the apple ;-)

Macro Mondays - Numbers - My Sudoku.
4.5cmX3.7cm - no crop
I like to do my Sudoku puzzles. I use a 4 coloured pen. 1-2-3 Red 4-5-6 Green 7-8-9 Blue. Sometimes I forget to change the ink.
The puzzles are printed in the newspaper each day
(Ottawa Citizen) and my wife cuts them out and pastes them into a notebook. I photographed this image with my 60mm macro lens. I used my Godox V1 flash held at a low angle to bring up the texture of the newsprint.

Blue Tiger
Scientific Name: Tirumala hamata
Other Common Names: Dark Blue Tiger, Blue Wanderer.
Status: Very common and widespread.
Description: The Blue Tiger Butterfly (Tirumala hamata) is a distinctive, large butterfly from the Family Nymphalidae that can be found in coastal areas in northern Australia. They have a wingspan of around 7cm and are largely black in colour, with a series of blue spots and streaks that reduce in size as they approach the trailing edge of the wing. Males and females are almost identical, with the only noticeable difference being the presence of a small, curved fold in the mid-hindwing of the males.
Caterpillars of the Blue Tiger Butterfly are similar to those of the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus). They have a series of thin, black and white bands that alternate along the length of the body, and an orange, lateral stripe positioned just above the base of the legs. The caterpillars also have pairs of filaments that are located at the front of the thorax and the rear of the abdomen.
Behaviour: Adult butterflies fly fairly slowly within several meters of the ground. Adults often seek out specific plants from which to feed, such as Monkey Rope Vine (Parsonsia straminea), Heliotopium, and Crotalaria. The leaves, pollen and nectar of these plants are thought to provide the butterflies with certain chemical compounds that may make them unpalatable to predators, or attractive to the opposite sex.
Anecdotally, I have noticed that during the warmer months this butterfly is quite active during the morning and afternoon, but will retreat to cool, dark areas to rest during the hottest part of the day. Large numbers can often be found roosting together in these situations. Similar roosting behaviour is also known to take place during the dry season, with some locations hosting many hundreds or even thousands of butterflies.
The Blue Tiger butterfly is also one of the better-known migratory species of Australia. Every few years, these migrations take on huge proportions, with millions of Blue Tiger Butterflies taking part. As with other Australian butterfly migrations, the reasons behind the Blue Tiger migration are not well understood.
Breeding is during the warmer months and is generally timed to coincide with the wet season when new growth on the host vines is available for caterpillars to eat.
Habitat: Coastal rainforest and vine thickets.
Host Plants: Corky Milk Vine (Secamone elliptica), Butterfly Vine (Cynanchum leptolepis), Heterostemma acuminatum

This is the 2nd version of this photo of a juvenile goldcrest.
The first seems a bit to sharp to some of you (depending of the screen).
This bird is really small and the juvenile is even smaller.
You may see it 2 times bigger than it is in reallity with a 24'' monitor.
The real size of this bird should be 6-7cm / 2.5''

Our first bigger snowfall of 2021. Didn't get as much as predicted. Only 7cm. fell in Oakville. Started off a little wet. Fun to watch.

I got my Oleum BJD cat kit about a week back together with a 2 more kits to be painted as a commission. I ordered the 6cm Sphinx and the other kits were a 6cm Oriental and a 7cm Sphinx. Mine is the silver cocoa one with Classic Ocicat pattern.
The cat's are 3D printed and I painted them by layering dye made by diluting acrylic paint. I seeped the gradient base dye in forst and then added detail layer by layers and did a dry brushing with white to give them a more furry feel. I also glued on whiskers using hair from my own cat Neru who joined the gang in posing in couple of pics.
These cats are so adorable. If you are interested in one check my reference gallery for info about Evethecat.com
