A grey dagger moth caterpillar munching its way through wild rose leaves in a Storeton hedge. The dagger moth species are virtually indistinguishable as adults (microscopic examination of genitalia needed), but their caterpillars are recognisably different.
A fraternity paddle given to me by my little brother Amber before we both graduated in 2003. It hung on my wall in my room since then before taking it down to take this shot.
The dorsal stripe is actually a very pale yellow. Overall length circa 40mm. No prizes for guessing which wall it was on...
Captain's log.
Our position, orbiting Psi 2000. An ancient world, now a frozen wasteland about to rip apart, in its death throes. Our mission - pick up a scientific party below, observe the disintegration of the planet.
Captain's log, stardate 1704.2.
The science party we were to have picked up has been found dead. Life support systems had been turned off. Station personnel frozen to death. Conditions highly unusual. Meanwhile, we remain in orbit to complete our mission - close scientific measurement of the break-up of this planet.
Captain's log, supplemental.
Our orbit - tightening. Our need for efficiency - critical. But unknown to us, a totally new and unusual disease has been brought aboard.
Captain's log, stardate 1704.4.
Ship out of control, spiraling down towards planet Psi 2000. We have 19 minutes of life left, without engine power or helm control.
Captain's log, supplemental.
The Enterprise spiraling down, out of control. Ship's outer skin heating rapidly due to friction with planet atmosphere.

Nikkó means “sunbeam” – and that’s exactly the vibe he gave us during this sunny park shoot. With his softly floppy ears, deep gaze, and serious little face, it looked like he was pondering the meaning of life… or at least a treat.
Just when it had become dark out, I noticed a bright star near the northern horn of the moon around 5:50 pm . I took a quick photo so I could make an identification of the star at a later date. When I tried to take another photo a couple minutes later the star had disappeared behind the moon. The star turned out to be Psi Sagittarii which shines (when not behind the moon) at 4.8 magnitude.
Photo was taken with a 155mm refractor with a Nikon D810 camera.
