I don't like these stairs ・・・

Cerambycidae - Long-horned Beetles begin their life cycle as a larva or grub after emerging from an egg that was deposited into a injured or dying branch. The growing larva tunnels through stems, branches or roots of plants. This species has been recorded as feeding within mesquite (Prosopis spp.) branches. It is possible that other woody plants are also used. This larval stage can last many months to over a year. Emerging adults are avid flower visitors and often fly to lights. The 'long horns' are the antennae. Males may use them in grappling with other males in tussles for mating rights.

 

This beetle was observed on a Desert Broom Bush at the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, Southern Arizona. Extreme wind, cold front coming through.

Grevillea Long John

 

The Long John along our street is beginning to flower.

This pretty little duck is a rare visitor to our area, so it was getting lots of attention this morning as it swam and dove under the bridge on San Luis Creek. Avila Beach, CA

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ The Long-nosed Dragon.. The Aussie version of Anolis. ♥

Wide angle portrait of a show-stopping adult male Long-nosed Dragon (Gowidon longirostris) in his best breeding suit. We encountered this lizard on an arid desert sandplain in stinking hot weather just after the first summer storms hit. We were not far from the Barkly Homestead in the spectacular Barkly Tableland region of the Northern Territory.

HMM all :)

Country road, sunset, tree silhouettes...that's Missouri! The "Edit Queen" took a break on this one.

309) Long Tailed Broadbill

Long-tailed Broadbill, Psarisomus dalhousiae, Takau Ekor Panjang

This is a species of broadbill that is found in the Himalayas, extending east through Northeastern India to Southeast Asia. It is the only bird in the genus Psarisomus. The long-tailed broadbill is a forest bird that lives on insects. It is very sociable and normally travels in large, noisy parties except during the mating season. It builds a pear-shaped nest hanging down from a tree.

 

The long-tailed skipper is one of my favorite butterflies. Each time I see one it takes me back to the first time one I saw the iridescent teal blue on the back caught my attention. Seems as though late summer is when they are noticeable in the garden and this one was not in a hurry to leave this tithonia bloom giving ample time to get a view of the pretty brown and blue colors. It’s not a large butterfly and is often mistaken as a moth because of the large eyes. Two of its host plants are in the garden and they are finally getting around to laying eggs for a new generation.

 

Happy Monday!

Got stuck in the rain and decided as I was hiding for shelter that I would see if I could get some shots of the little furry friends.

Long tailed duck (male) . The back feathers look like a cape. Spends the winter in this area.

** Long-tailed tits are not common in our garden, but occasionally a small flock will land in our cherry tree . Of course, I often don’t have a camera ready when they arrive . However, on this occasion, for some reason, I did have my camera out, and I could quickly take a few shots. They are pretty little birds.

  

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM

 

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT

 

Seeing and photographing a weasel in its winter white coat ended a decade long quest for me. Thanks to my friend for somehow spotting this tiny creature in a sea of white. Hard to imagine there's a cuter animal on the planet. It's prey probably thinks otherwise!
