Shame about the damage to its face. It's an amazing thing to behold. Don't know what sort of bird is tagging along for the ride.
So yeah, I recently received Rocka and was in love with the amazing parts, so I knew I had to do SOMETHING with them. 'Tis a shame I didn't get Tarix cause it would be much easier, but what's building without a challenge? So the idea of this is to make a Sphinx-like version of Rocka.
Also my camera refuses to take a focused pic :(

Had the chance to spend a few days in London last spring while J was there for work.
If there's anything better than wandering through London for a day with a camera and a few dollars/pounds in your pocket, I don't know what it is.
Tried to add some grain to this shot with Silver eFex. I love the combo of the ancient sphinxy-ness with the Victorian (I think) serpent light poles with the surreally large London merry-go-up-and-down with the way cool, way delicate bridge supports.
In other words, I love London and the way so much comes together there at the same time.

This Sphinx Moth was sucking the nectar out of one of my Fragrant Evening Primroses(Oenothera fragrans) in my flower garden. This is what all the beauty and fragrance of flowers is all about, seducing a pollenator to stop by, get a little nectar, and unknowingly pollinate them. Flower sex in action.
Chenille mature de Sphinx du pin (Sphinx pinastri, Sphingidae, Sphinginae, Sphingini) trouvée en phase mobile prépupation. L'animal semble passablement maigre pour cette phase, mais a refusé toute nourriture et s'est enterré dès qu'il avait eu de la terre à disposition.
Of the luxurious Siphnian treasury, another rich island of the Cyclades, Naxos, sends a grandiose offering to Apollo of Delphi: the statue of the mythical Sphinx. It was seated on the capital of a very tall Ionic column, regarded as the oldest element in the Ionic order at Delphi.

Sphinx helped me clear out the Hermit crab tank of the bristle worm invasion today, he was very helpful and sat in the sink after, like you do !
Le moro sphinx ou sphinx colibri ou sphinx du caille-lait (Macroglossum stellatarum) est un insecte appartenant à l'ordre des lépidoptères, de la famille des Sphingidae. C'est une des rares espèces diurnes de sa famille. Le moro sphinx possède une très longue trompe pour butiner les fleurs, souvent violettes ou blanches, en vol stationnaire comme les oiseaux-mouches. Il butine généralement le nectar des fleurs que les autres insectes ne peuvent atteindre. Il aime la sauge. Son vol est d'une précision et d'une rapidité peu communes.
