I originally had another image planned for the last shot, but figured this one was more suited to the final image as it was swimming away.
I do wish that I would have had more depth of field, but I really like how the water on the top of the beaver almost looks like a frosted webbing.
I had another image where that webbing and the fur is much sharper, but liked this composition much better.
Hope you enjoyed the series.
The American mink is a small carnivorous mammal with a long slender body, short legs and a long tail characteristic of the mustelid (weasel) family to which it belongs.
The mink is adapted for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Their feet have small but obvious webbing between the digits. They move on land with a walking or bounding gait and are also able to climb and jump well. They can dive to depths of 5-6 metres and swim underwater for up to 30-35 metres.
Neoholothele incei is a dwarf New World Theraphosidae tarantula from Trinidad and Venezuela. It is in the subfamily Schismatothelinae. It is well known in the tarantula and invertebrate hobby as one of the most beautiful and heavy webbing dwarf tarantulas with its gold and black carapace.

Very early morning trekking across frozen fields. I couldn't believe the amount of webbing everywhere...most of the field was covered in strands like this. Busy little spiders....lucky I don't have arachnophobia!
The Eurasian coot (Fulica atra), also known as the common coot, or Australian coot, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae. It is found in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. The Eurasian coot is 32–42 cm long and weighs 585–1,100 g, and is largely black except for the white frontal shield (which gave rise to the phrase as bald as a coot, in use as early as 1430). As a swimming species, the coot has partial webbing on its long strong toes. The juvenile is paler than the adult, has a whitish breast, and lacks the facial shield; the adult black plumage develops when about 3–4 months old, but the white shield is only fully developed at about one year old. This is a noisy bird with a wide repertoire of crackling, explosive, or trumpeting calls, often given at night. The coot breeds across much of the Old World on freshwater lakes and ponds. It occurs and breeds in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The species has recently expanded its range into New Zealand. It is resident in the milder parts of its range, but migrates further south and west from much of Asia in winter as the waters freeze. The Eurasian coot is much less secretive than most of the rail family, and can be seen swimming on open water or walking across waterside grasslands. It is an aggressive species, and strongly territorial during the breeding season, and both parents are involved in territorial defence. During the non-breeding season they may form large flocks, possibly related to predator avoidance. 28122

Unless I find anything better, this can be for the 365 treasure hunt, number 21 Covered .... OK so it's not that covered, but a little spider had been doing it's best to cover the post :))
A while back I posted a shot of this species as part of my 2024 Spring Wish List, hoping for a better view. Got it! I wanted light: check. I wanted some colour in the water: check. I wanted to be in close: check.
It helped that I found a place where I could get low without getting completely covered in mud, and it helped that there were thousands of Semipalmated Sandpipers present. Surely one would claim the territory directly in front of me! And that is what happened.
The only other shorebirds close enough to photograph were Semipalmated Plovers; I must have been in the Semipalmated Zone.
For I.D. purposes, the short, tubular bill is an indication. We can see a rear toe, so it isn't a Sanderling. The black legs show that it isn't a Least Sandpiper. In some other shots the webbing between its toes confirm the semipalmated designation.
I could complain about bad knees, sore back, arthritic hands, and other handicaps of old age, but I'm not going to even mention them; that would just be whining. So what if my hands were burning from the cold? My inner artist doesn't care, despite the snivelling from my outer animal. It turned into a great day, one I wouldn't trade for anything. More to come!

This is the most seen migrating plover. It's name derives from the partial webbing between it's toes. Image taken at Fort de Soto.
The fog grows thicker as shadows begin to creep along the marsh. The skittering sounds of marsh creatures follow each of my footsteps and create a tune of overlapping discordant rhythms. My cloak covered in thick mats of webbing grows heavier. A moment of light cuts the fog revealing a field glowing with dew beads along an endless sea of webs. The marsh, strung together in an infinite yet delicate lattice showcases the intricate work of the web weavers. As the fog lifts, I am startled by what appears to be a mythical giant mother weaver. For but a moment, my heart jumps into my throat and time stands still. There would be no escape once she notices me. She is not moving. Looming ever so quietly, I peer in closer. It is then, I realize that it is only an illusion. A simple marsh tree with arms spreading out like giant legs. My fears were created not here in the marsh, but by my own mind. Wiping the sweat from my brow, I continue forward knowing the biggest creature I have to fear is simply myself.
Mornings on the marsh show the work of all the local Georgia spiders. :-) Thanks for the favs and kind words. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!
This frog had me perplexed due to its lack of red-webbing, which is one of the characteristics of the Scarlet-webbed Treefrog. However, all other morphological features and the lack of other species in the area with similar features, has me convinced this is indeed a H. rufitelus with green webbing.
The 6/22/20 Macro Mondays theme is Unusual Patterns. After searching the house, garage and yard for a subject for the theme, I finally realized I was sitting on it. This webbing forms the seat and back of my office chair.
Taken whilst on a pelagic out of Portimao, Algarve ...
Pleased with this image as it shows the yellow webbing between the toes !!
Horsey was a-strewn with webbing early morning last week. just a snap across the marsh. Yes i should have got lower and took a few more but i had wheatear in early sun in mind :-)
Lantana is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous areas. The genus includes both herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or lantanas. They are a mix of red, orange, yellow, or blue and white florets. Considered an invasive and toxic weed, flowers are pretty. The spread of lantana is aided by the fact that their leaves are poisonous to most animals and thus avoided by herbivores, while their fruit is a delicacy for many birds, including the yellow-fronted white-eye of Vanuatu, the superb fairy-wren in Australia, the scaly-breasted munia, and the Mauritius bulbul in the Mascarenes; these distribute the seeds and thereby unwittingly contribute to the degradation of their home ecosystem. 40264
Cedar waxwings snacking on tent caterpillars, taking some of the silken tent webbing along with the caterpillars. The remains of the caterpillar nest can be seen below the birds. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Some sort of soft webbing caught in this large log brought down river by a flood, poised to be swept away by the next.
Over time, things come and things go. The river teaches us that it is an illusion that anything belongs to us. Joy is found in accepting the continuum of everything, and being a part of it ourselves.
As we were unable to continue further North on our journey in Svalbard, we changed plans and disembarked on Sarstangen where we came across this large ugly of Male Walrus. The collective term of herd and pod are also used, however I like how fitting the first is.
These were all bachelor Males, mostly just sleeping on what appeared to be a large sandbank at the end of a Fjord.
I was quite fascinated with their feet that they kept stretching out and then curling up again to reveal the webbing in between.
No females have made it down to Svalbard as of yet.
I walked out at 7pm last evening to do a last check of my first Black swallowtail caterpillars of the year. To my surprise - this Royal River Cruiser was hanging motionless in my zinnias next to the fennel - tangled in webs. We've rescued a lot of odes from spider webs - but I was afraid she was dead. Harry came out and immediately started de-webbing her. Her wings started going like lightning - she was very much alive! In a couple of minutes he released her - and off she flew over our roof!
These are the first Royal River Cruiser shots I've ever posted, and the first river cruiser we've ever seen in the yard.

This solitary leaf caught my eye as it stood out from the rest of the tree because of the light shining on it. It was suspended there by the tiniest strand of spider webbing, which you can just barely see if you look closely. Large View shows it better.
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend, everyone! : )
Made Explore!! #107
Macro of the ice I've been skating on. It's solid and at least a foot thick. Variable amounts of trapped air account for the interesting ice formations that I photographed. Also notable are micro fissures or cracks that look like lace or webbing clearly visible in the left lower corner of this image. These would have formed during the recent freeze thaw cycles. It was well below zero when I was there.
Choosing a location that suits your needs is most important when you want to take up residence...it's all part of the beauty of webbing.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and happy day dear Flickr friends !
Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' closest relatives include the geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. There are six or seven living (and one extinct) species of swan in the genus Cygnus; in addition, there is another species known as the coscoroba swan, although this species is no longer considered one of the true swans. Swans usually mate for life, although 'divorce' sometimes occurs, particularly following nesting failure, and if a mate dies, the remaining swan will take up with another. The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey.
The Eurasian coot (Fulica atra), also known as the common coot, or Australian coot, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae. It is found in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and parts of North Africa. It has a slaty-black body, a glossy black head and a white bill with a white frontal shield. The sexes are similar. The Eurasian coot is 36–38 cm in length with a wing-span of 70–80 cm; males weigh around 890 g and females 750 g. It largely black except for the white bill and frontal shield (which gives rise to the phrase as bald as a coot, in use as early as 1430). As a swimming species, the coot has partial webbing on its long strong toes. The sexes are similar in appearance.The coot breeds across much of the Old World on freshwater lakes and ponds. It occurs and breeds in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The species has recently expanded its range into New Zealand. It is resident in the milder parts of its range, but migrates further south and west from much of Asia in winter as the waters freeze.
The dusky moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa) is a bird species in the rail family and is one of the eight extant species in the moorhen genus. It occurs in India, Australia, New Guinea, Borneo and Indonesia. It is often confused with the purple swamphen and the Eurasian coot due to similar appearance and overlapping distributions. The dusky moorhen is a medium size bird, slightly smaller than the purple swamphen. The New Guinea birds are smaller, at 25–32 centimetres in length, than the Australian race 34–38 centimetres . Adult males generally weigh on average around 570 grams and adult females 493 grams. The adult dusky moorhen is mainly dark grey-black, with a browner tinge to the upper parts. It has a red frontal shield and yellow-tipped red bill like its Eurasian relative, but lacks the white flank line shown by common moorhen, and has orange-yellow rather than yellow legs. The Australian subspecies is larger and pager than both other subspecies. The dusky moorhen is found in wetland habitats, with a preference for freshwater marshes and swamps, and are rarely found far from these areas except when foraging in nearby vegetation.
The hardhead (Aythya australis), also known as the white eyed duck, is the only true diving duck found in Australia. The common name hardhead has nothing to do with the density of the bird's skull, instead referring to the difficulty encountered by early taxidermists in processing the head. Hardheads are found in wetter, coastal regions of Australia, particularly in the south-east, but are known to disperse as far afield as New Guinea, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. Hardheads are common in the south-east of Australia, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin, but also in the wetter country near the coasts. 25510
This southbound migrant was feeding on Bronte Beach, Oakville, Ontario.
If you ever wondered what "semipalmated" means it refers to the partial webbing on the feet. This feature is visible in the photo.
June 8, 12:40 p.m. I went out to check the bugs, and found only nine nymphs on the leaf, with the unhatched eggs covered with a white webbing.
Interesting and I find this strangely intriguing, I'm not sure who the artist is but it's part of a multimedia exhibit found in the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), St. Petersburg, Florida. If you find a face looking back at you it might just be the face of a rather abstract Mr. Potato Head.
Cormorant - Phalacrocorax Carbo
Cormorant - Phalacrocorax Carbo
Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds commonly known as cormorants and shags
Cormorants and shags are medium-to-large birds, with body weight in the range of 0.35–5 kilograms (0.77–11.02 lb) and wing span of 60–100 centimetres (24–39 in). The majority of species have dark feathers. The bill is long, thin and hooked. Their feet have webbing between all four toes. All species are fish-eaters, catching the prey by diving from the surface. They are excellent divers, and under water they propel themselves with their feet with help from their wings; some cormorant species have been found to dive as deep as 45 metres (150 ft). They have relatively short wings due to their need for economical movement underwater, and consequently have among the highest flight costs of any flying bird.
Cormorants nest in colonies around the shore, on trees, islets or cliffs. They are coastal rather than oceanic birds, and some have colonised inland waters. The original ancestor of cormorants seems to have been a fresh-water bird. They range around the world, except for the central Pacific islands.
I am really hyped about this one. I believe that these are young House Wrens. If you look closely in zoomed view both have possibly some webbing on their head. I would not be surprised if they have only very recently left their nest. It was pretty special for me, as I have never seen a young one before. I thought it was cool how they stuck very close together.
Weatherwise, the heatwave here continues, with record high temps falling I believe four days in a row, and expected to get to 30C (86F) today, and no rain expected for the long range forecast. No doubt the dryness and the heat are hard on wildlife as well as on many plants. I look forward to where Summer seems to just switch off as it does many years, but Sept. is predicted to be warmer than usual, so we will see what happens.

I have posted an image of this little guy before using flash, but this time available light was nice and soft, and it was quite calm, not still, but calm enough. Fortunately it was in a position where I could set up my tripod to get closer more easily. It was resting on it's webbing and was staying put, so I was able to tweak the position of my tripod to take composition into account, which is not often the case.
I could have used a bit more depth of field as I would have liked the webbing to have been in better focus, but all in all I am very happy with it. As in all images on Flickr, the full view will look the best.
EDIT: Thanks to James R. Page for the ID on this one. And for my European Flickr friends it would be commonly known to you as a European garden Spider.
