The break between the beginning and the end of the work was huge, but unlike other WIPs, here I found the strength to finish what I started.
Robber flies are quite numerous in the Sicilian holiday garden. I was hoping to see one with prey and found this in the morning. It's on the handrail around the villa's patio and they tend to congregate in this spot to get the morning sunshine.
This is either a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk, Coopers Hawk or Sharp Shin Hawk. Spotted in the thick brush. Having looked at the article that Leslie referenced in her comment, it may well be a Red Tailed. One of the tests to tell if it's a red tailed vs. other is whether it's beefy or not. Red Tailed tend to be "beefy" and Coopers or Sharp Shinned, not so much. When observing it yesterday, both my wife and I simultaneously said, "that's a big one"
As all you know this is type of the falcon's family, in our country called (Gernas) in Arabic (قرناص), and easily to be or become tame and accustom to human. you can see the note on shot where the falcon is tied up by rope and during it's meal the owner catch it!
Sorry for bloody scene, but this is life!!

As I said yesterday Carson and I went adventuring around Lost Lake which can be seen here. Basically its this really nasty lake that's usually green because of algae and is surrounded by 200ft cliffs that we like to play on. Here I'm on a little ledge that drops right off. While exploring in this area we also made friends with a porcupine that we named Josey. He made super cute sounds too!
Do you see a victim or do you see a predator?
I'm not sure if I should just stick to the naturey stuff?
A 55mm wrench from the water works is hungry, and the little 4mm wrenches from the laboratory are scared. Photographed on the lid of a toolbox.
These two male Lions (Panthera leo), most probably siblings, ruled Piper Pan while we were there. At least nothing else ventured onto the pan because of their presence. Piper Pan is in the Central Kalahari of Botswana. This is a wonderful park but remote.
The small birds were sounding the alert that something was amiss in their surrounding, this Cooper's Hawk had his eye on some supper! I think he thought he was doing a good job of hiding. Been around a few times in the last couple of weeks.

More from the amazing bug field at Halkidiki Greece, July 2014.
Wikipedia:- Graphosoma semipunctatum is a species of bug living exclusively in the méditerranean regions.
It is very close to Graphosoma italicum. It can be distinguished from G. italicum by black dots along the protonomum instead of lines and entirely red legs (instead of black ones like G. italicum).
They are found abundantly on Umbelliferaes. Its red colour serves to warn its predators that it is not palatable.
More in the comments below and the set below right,

I knew the leopard was hiding in a ditch next to the road and sat waiting for it to reappear. Without a sound and out of nowhere it suddenly stood on the roadside 8 meters away from my wide open car window, staring straight at me. I was so stunned that I nearly forgot to press the shutter button.
