in my garden...best viewed large....Epicoma pontificalis.
I wish I had seen it flying, it stayed put on this twig for a long time and I went inside to get another camera but it took off before I came back.. Its eye is almost hidden underneath the spiky looking hairy head.
Also known as the Yellow Spot moth.
What I find amazing about digital photography especially regarding the insect world - is the way the colors and all kinds of markings and wings and eyes etc..... everything about them is instantly seen when enlarged. I don't know what the wingspan of this moth is, I just noticed the amazing red hairy head at first...how incredibly colourful some insects are, and to think there are millions of them!
All those colours in the wings didn't show up until enlarged.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment and fave.
This Tawny Eagle was very protective of his kill.. It was quite difficult to see what he had in his claws, but every now and then I got a glimpse of an impala head... So I am thinking that this was the remains of a Wild dog kill...
The National Trust is usually thought of as an organisation to protect historic buildings but as I learnt in Dorset they all protect precious habitats. These delightful sand dunes on Studland Bay are managed by the Trust and appear to be thriving . Maintaining a sand dune is clearly a complex process . The following notes are from the Trust website the information contained I thought was fascinating .
“What we know about sand dunes, how they function and thrive, has changed. Previously, we thought dunes should be stabilised – protected from disturbance and cornered off from people. And so, fences were put up, we were told to stay away, and the dunes had nothing to keep them dynamic. Climate change and air pollution only made matters worse. They sent a boost of energy and nutrients into an ecosystem that had formed on the bare minimum, catalysing plant growth. Combine our intentional and unintentional efforts, and we began to lose the essence of our sand dunes.
We removed factors that would normally result in cycles of dune formation and instead accelerated the forward process. Now Studland’s mosaic landscape is slowly becoming smothered by gorse and trees. Open sandy habitats are being buried and rare wildlife pushed out. Data from the Cyril Diver citizen science project in 2016, reveals species like the Sand Lizard and Meadow Pipit shrinking in distribution, their numbers squeezed to the dune edges.
Studland’s dunes need our help. We need to slow down the acceleration of plant growth, restore Studland’s mosaic landscape and bring back the dynamic nature of our dunes into a self-regulating system. These are the aims of the Dynamic Dunescapes project. The project is a partnership between Natural England, Plantlife, Natural Resources Wales, The Wildlife Trusts and the National Trust, with National Trust sites including Woolacombe and Studland Bay.
At Studland Bay, four routes will be taken to restore the dunes:
1 Bare ground creation: Using tractors and mechanical excavators to clear sections of dense vegetation and re-create areas of bare sandy ground.
2 Reintroducing cattle grazing: Cattle mimic the benefits wild herbivores have on an ecosystem; they create bare ground, crop vegetation and form mosaic landscapes. In 2021, ten Red Devon cattle will arrive to Studland and start grazing the dense vegetation at the centre of the dunes.
3 Removing invasive carp from Little Sea: Carp were illegally introduced to a freshwater lake, known as Little Sea, triggering an ecological collapse. Dynamic Dunescapes will provide funding to remove carp from Little Sea and restore the ecosystem.
4 People: What better way to open the land, limit vegetation growth and create some much-needed disturbance than our very own feet? We want to remove the presumption that exploring the dunes will harm them. Instead we want to encourage people into the dunes, to learn about them, experience their beauty and help get them back to their sandy ways.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.

While hiking along the Mexican border in Arizona, this rattlesnake was found basking in dappled sunlight.
He will be 9 next month and my twins will be 6. My three little eggs are getting so big. I want to protect them from time and from getting older. I am not ready yet for the Birthdays. Maybe we just need a big party. This image is inspired by so many things, including my feelings about their Birthdays, my sons hair that looks like a birds nest most days and the prop I bought for my newborns. Also I have been reading my Elizabeth Messina book, this is such an inspiring wonderful book. I don't have a daughter to wear flowers in her hair but I do have my lovely Leo. Three beautiful little boys in my nest.

High Street, Markyate, Hertfordshire. The county in general, but this village in particular, is regarded as "safe". The crime rate, when compared to the UK average, is low. This "safety", however, comes at a price. Using a bit of sarcasm, I could say that one would not commit a crime here because there is nothing interesting to be criminal about. But, on the other hand, boredom and predictability also have their price. In this village, young people have no way of advancing their career and prospects. Self harm, particularly among young men, is common. When it comes to protecting the community, "safety" is only one of the core elements.

The Radiated Tortoise (Geochelone radiata) is one of the most protected species of tortoise in the world. Within the reptile world, it is something of a poster child for environmental conservation. In the U.S., this means that--in order to keep them legally--one must obtain a USFWS captive bred wildlife permit, and many states require their own licenses atop this U.S. one!
The protection is helping. Today, it is likely that over 3,000 of these tortoises are living and breeding in the U.S., while civilization continues to encroach on their homelands in Madagascar.
The captively-cared for juvenile photographed here is approximately four years old and could have well more than 100 years to go!
