One-eyed Sphinx, Smerinthus cerisyi, recorded on June 28, 2008 just after noon in Snowbird, Utah, U.S.A.
The Vine sphinx Moth, (Eumorpha vitis vitis), wingspan 3 3/8 - 4 1/8 inches (8.5 - 10.5 cm), flies from Argentina north through Central America, the West Indies, and Mexico to southern Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida. Occasionally strays are taken as far north as Nebraska
Das Bild der Sphinx hat traditionell nichts mit Justiz oder Gerechtigkeit zu tun. Warum flankieren dann zwei davon eine Justitia am Oberlandesgericht in Hamburg als einziger figürlicher Schmuck? Eine Deutung wäre: Sphinx und Justiz befragen und strafen beide. Ich denke aber eher, man wollte auf den archaischen Ursprung des Rechts verweisen.
The High Court of the City of Hamburg is remarkable for its huge dome and its equally huge hall, the other rooms being insignificant. It was built in 1907/12 and shows no figurative ornament except one Justitia and two sphinxes. What do these sphinxes mean in the context of law? Do they refer to Investigation and Punishment? I'd rather think they stand here for the archaic origin of law.
A sphinx statue (1625 - 1630) at the Hôtel de Sully mansion.
L'hôtel de Sully is an hôtel particulier of the Louis XIII style(French Renaissance). It was built between 1625 and 1630. The opulent sculptural decoration is unusual for Parisian buildings of the early Classical period.
The 17th century marked a golden age for French art in all fields. In the early part of the 17th century, late mannerist and early Baroque tendencies continued to flourish in the court of Marie de Medici and Louis XIII.
Стиль Людовика XIII (1610—1643) — поздний Ренессанс с элементами маньеризма и барокко, переходный период от позднего Ренессанса к Большому стилю.
Hyles lineata, White-lined Sphinx Moth also known as a Hummingbird Moth. This was on my hanging basket of petunias outside of my business.
In the U.S., the largest insect is the giant waterbug. In Puerto rico, it does not even come close. Among other things, we have several species of moth that are very large. This particular moth likes to lay its eggs on my Plumeria trees. These eggs hatch into caterpillars that become very large and decimate all of their leaves.
In celebration of the fact I am going on holiday on Thursday I thought I would upload some of my favourite holiday pictures....

The Sphinx from the Monument Road that connects Khafre's Valley Temple with his Mortuary Temple. In the background is his father's pyramid (Khufu).
Trying to sketch what he'd of been complete. Sadly a group of eight year olds kept jumping in front to sell me a photograph. Stunning as Egypt is it's also not a bad example of what happens when you combine a corrupt government with a disregard for those most in need
