Black swallowtail caterpillar showing orange osmeterium partly everted - the defensive organ found in all stages of growth of papilionid larvae. It is everted when the larva feels threatened, perhaps as I had the macro lens a little too close!
The everted organ resembles a fleshy forked tongue not unlike a snake tongue and this along with the large eye like spots on the body might be used to startle birds and small reptiles.

Situated in high mountains on a river island, Norstedt secures the northern border of the Crohnstein Kingdom.
Further north, there is only the Wild Land, to which no one makes any claim.
Every attacker must use the bridges of Norstedt to enter the kingdom.
A river crossing is impossible because of the extreme rapids.
Will the city be able to defend itself against the attacking orc army?
At least help is on the way.
The first knights of the kingdom have already arrived shortly before the gates of Norstedt.
After 20 months of construction I finally managed to finish my Moc for the Lego Exhibition "8th Berliner Steinewahn" back in September.
Phu!
Next year I will build something smaller!
....at least I hope so!
Lars, who somehow always builds everything a little bigger!
Verteidigung von Norstedt
Im hohen Gebirge auf einer Flussinsel gelegen, sichert Norstedt die nördliche Grenze des Königsreichs Crohnstein.
Weiter im Norden befindet sich nur noch das Wilde Land, auf das niemand Anspruch erhebt.
Jeder Angreifer muss die Brücken von Norstedt nutzen um in das Königreich zu gelangen.
Eine Flussüberquerung ist wegen der extremen Stromschnellen unmöglich.
Wird es die Stadt schaffen, sich gegen die angreifende Orkarmee zu verteidigen?
Zumindest ist Hilfe auf dem Weg.
Die ersten Ritter des Königreiches sind bereits kurz vor den Toren von Norstedt eingetroffen.
Nach 20 Monaten Bauzeit hatte ich es endlich geschafft mein Moc zum 8. Berliner Steinewahn im September fertig zu stellen.
Phu!
Im nächsten Jahr baue ich etwas kleineres!
....das hoffe ich zumindest!
Lars, der irgendwie immer alles etwas größer baut! ;-)

Taken from the beach outside the harbour wall. From the boardwalk inside the harbour you can see the waves crashing 30/40 feet into the air.
After the Olean invasion of Terraversa, all over the country Terraversans are flocking to the defence of their homeland.
The militia are a mixture of hardened veterans of the War of Independence and younger new comers. Most wear old homespun jackets in dull and neutral colours. Nicknamed the ‘Brown Coats’ you won’t find these men fighting in neat lines and marching with perfect timing. Expert marksmen with years of experience in the local environment, they will resist the vile invaders with the same ferocity they demonstrated overthrowing Marderian tyranny.
In this scene; so typical on the outskirts of Westface these days, a veteran militiaman says goodbye to his wife and daughter. His daughter hands him his tricorne, which she has decorated with a white swan feather for good luck. It is a poignant moment and she fervently entreats the Gods to return her father to her safely.
Meanwhile, the company officer (who coincidently is the militiaman’s brother-in-law) waits with other militiamen and Atwi allies. He has another eight farmsteads to visit today, before proceeding into Westface for further orders.
Waxham Sands Norfolk. It's one of life's mysteries why, when faced with raging seas, the first thing I do is reach for the 10 stop filter to smooth it all out! Must be the abstract look. A day of frustration with my tripod though...camera shake a real issue in the strong winds, I feel an early Xmas present to myself might be in order!
One from last April and an early rise for a visit to Spurn Point.
No direct light, but a bit of colour in the sky.
Here's a long exposure photograph I made in Herne Bay, Kent. This is some of the many groin sea defences along the coastline.
I took this using a Lee Super Stopper for 66 seconds.
There was not much going on sky-wise so I overexposed slightly to give the washed out look.
Hope you enjoy.
