Ladybirds should be the gardener's favourite family of beetles as, with the exception of a couple of species, both adults and larvae are excellent predators of aphids and other pests. The bold colours and markings help to warn off potential predators.
The ring-tailed lemur is highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. It is also female dominant, a trait common among lemurs. To keep warm and reaffirm social bonds, groups will huddle together. The ring-tailed lemur will also sunbathe, sitting upright facing its underside, with its thinner white fur towards the sun. Like other lemurs, this species relies strongly on its sense of smell and marks its territory with scent glands. The males perform a unique scent marking behavior called spur marking and will participate in stink fights by impregnating their tail with their scent and wafting it at opponents.
This one had thinner markings on it. And they had an orange tint. All the others were just yellow lines.

I don't often see the cheetah boys mark their territory or if i do Ihave never been able to capture it. Today I was lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time. Unfortunately I couldn't capture the whole tail as i had to zoom in to the max to avoid the fence closest to me.

This old iron ring was and still is part of an old chainlink fence surrounding the ocean baths at Newcastle NSW.It would have stood against a vastly different coastline when it was first erected than it does now...More images can be seen at my facebook page here www.facebook.com/lazydayzphotography/
.....If it comes back it was meant to be.
I have been playing with turning images into monotone, I never thought this would work, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Marking trees! Black bears of all ages and both sexes rub their scent on marking trees, including wooden sign posts and utility poles, but the majority of this marking is by mature males during the mating season (May and June in Minnesota). They rub their shoulders, neck and crown and may also claw and bite the tree. Claw marks are usually superficial, but incisor bites are deep enough that pieces of bark and wood are sometimes pulled out. Bites leave nearly horizontal marks that look like a dot and a dash where the upper and lower canine teeth came together.
Marking trees are generally along trails. Favorite trees have little ground vegetation to prevent a bear from approaching them, and they often lean slightly toward the trail.
WEEK 3Artistic: LandYour inspiration this week is land. This could be a landscape, or an image inspired by the land in some way.
Cats are territorial animals. They need to feel safe in their space and they need it to be clear to other cats that they are, in fact, the owner of that space. The best-known feline territory marking behavior is urine spraying: Males and females, can spray when they feel the need to plant “no trespassing” signs.
Scent is used to identify members of the same colony, define territory, create familiarity, announce sexual readiness, learn more about unfamiliar cats in the environment, self-soothe, bond with another, or as a form of covert aggression.
The scent glands around the face are identified as friendly or low-intensity. These are used when a cat is marking familiar objects he considers part of his turf, or when he’s depositing scent as a bonding gesture such as when head bunting. You’re also probably very familiar with the sight of your cat cheek-rubbing on objects in the home. This is a comforting behavior for him and reflects his sense of security and familiarity with the environment.
The scent glands in his paw pads get used when he scratches on objects for marking. In addition to leaving a visual mark from his claws, he leaves an olfactory mark through the scent glands. Now that’s an animal who really makes sure his presence is known!
The pheromones associated with the back end of the cat, such as the ones released during urine-marking are high-intensity. There’s nothing calm about those pheromones. When a cat sprays it’s done under stressful or exciting circumstances.
And with all that incredible scent depositing going on in a cat’s environment, it’s a good thing he also has such a highly developed sniffer to decode all the information left by other cats’ pheromones.
This young male Cheetah was seen sniffing the scent left by another cheetah and decoding the message. Photographed on an early morning game drive in Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
The males have pretty markings. You only see the blue on the wings when they are in flight, I think. Port Aransas, Texas in March 2023

The black-naped monarch or black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers. They are sexually dimorphic with males having a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar ("necklace") while the female is duller and lacks the black markings. They have a call that is similar to that of the Asian paradise flycatcher and in tropical forest habitats pairs may join mixed-species foraging flocks. Populations differ slightly in plumage colour and sizes.
The adult male black-naped monarch is about 16 cm long, and is mainly pale azure blue apart from a whitish lower belly. It has a black nape and a narrow black gorget. The female is duller and lacks the black markings. Her wings and back are grey-brown. There are however several geographically separated breeding populations that differ in the extent and shade of markings.
The Indian peninsula (includes sykesi of Stuart Baker) has subspecies styani which has the black markings very distinct. Males of the Sri Lankan race H. a. ceylonensis lack the black nape and gorget and the shade is more purplish. The subspecies of the Andaman Islands, tytleri, has the underparts blue grey. The form on Car Nicobar Island idiochroa has a greyish white belly while nicobarica from the southern Nicobars has a smaller and finer bill. The colour of the gape is yellowish to green.

Thanks to every friend ! Greetings ! And wish you every lucky !
....marking half a century of flying fare-paying passengers aboard the Boeing 747.
This is the second of a very short series. Whilst Singapore, Virgin and PIA (Pakistan) were pretty much daily visitors to Ringway, Manchester Airport, other less well known passenger aircraft occasionally dropped in and it is where all these photos were taken. Thanks to Kim for the collage!
For those interested, further detail on the individual aircraft is given in the comment box below.
I often complain about the amount of marking I do e.g. 94 essays over the holidays, another 32 to mark this week along side 20 jotters or so. But then that's 3 classes. It's nice to look back on photos like this and think at least I don't have 70 in my class!
It seems that children like to be graded the world over.
