The Malayan Flying Frog, Rhacophorus prominanus, is a species of frog in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
This is a largish flying frog, with females growing to a body length of up to 7.6 cm (about 3 in), and males reaching up to 6.2 cm body length. Generally jade green on the back and somewhat translucent when small, a prominent red blotch on the webbing extends between the third and fifth hind toes.

The most common of the small plovers on migration through most areas. On its breeding grounds in the north, it avoids the tundra habitat chosen by most shorebirds, nesting instead on gravel bars along rivers or ponds. In such surroundings, its seemingly bold pattern actually helps to make the plover inconspicuous, by breaking up its outline against the varied background. The name "semipalmated" refers to partial webbing between the bird's toes.

Curculio glandium
I was pleased to find this impressive looking fellow on the shed door this morning. He seemed to be caught up in some webbing, which was beneficial for me although he was struggling to escape, which made stacking quite difficult. I managed to get three shots which were well aligned, so this is the result.
The spider who's webbing he was caught up in came to have a look, but he was far too much for the little arachnid to handle so he went back into hiding. Eventually I gave him a nudge to help him on his way and he climbed to the top of the door and flew off.
It was only when processing I noticed he was sporting a very elegant looking hat, which looked to be a small stone. I considered cloning it out, but decided it added character so left it in place.
Hope you are looking forward to the weekend. Last bank holiday before Christmas for all UK residents!

A shot of the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo clearly showing its elongated outer tail feathers with webbing that is restricted to the tips. Often in older birds either one or both tails are found to be missing. They are conspicuous in the forest habitats often perching in the open attracting attention with a wide range of loud calls that include perfect imitations of many other birds. I have also heard one of them do a perfect imitation of a cat. Like other drongos, these feed mainly on insects but also feed on fruits and visit flowering trees for nectar.
Another gull shot I'm afraid.... I rather liked the light shining through the webbing though.

Trying out new webbing, Rudi is carrying MP40, canteen, gas cannister, blanket/bed roll, ammo pouches, grenades, Panzerfaust, scarf and headwrap.
Unfortunately, Dolce tore the webbing between two toes on one of his back feet. This means his has to wear a sock and boot when outside and outside activity is very limited for a couple of weeks.
Fortunately, we are stocked with things to do while under house arrest. Dolce got out all of his Nina Ottosson puzzle games to play with. We are trying to tired out the brain since we'll be limited in how much exercise he can get. Lots of games, trick practice sessions, and nose work.
As the sun was setting, the light caught the water-drops sitting on a fine layer of spider webbing that surrounds this cactus.
Gearing up....switching a few time zones soon....practicing patience every second.
Wow, it sure has been awhile since I have posted!! It actually took me a second to remember how to do this...
And, just bought a new 35mm lens...LOVE IT!
This started out as the faded webbing on an old beach chair hanging in my garage. Then, in Photoshop, I saturated it a bit, and next used the crystalize option on the pixelate filter.

A morning in the courtyard of the British Museum.
Nothing tampered or re-touched. Straight out of the camera. :)

My second favorite BA vest, next to the British webbing. Also: one of the greatest western movies which I'll be watching tonight !
Strangely this looks like Cortinarius with the webbing near the stipe,.Maybe two species were growing together?

Dogs vs wolves
Larry's comment has brought to my attention an interesting point about these wolves: some of them indeed "look like" dogs since they are so playful and clean and that's because these wolves are captive animals taken excellent care of by the good folks at TripleD. (ie. these wolves are more well fed, cleaner, healthier and happier than usual)
I'll list some of the signs I use to distinguish between dogs and wolves as someone who's not an expert but have been photographing them for a while now:
1. The most obvious is skull size and shape: wolves have larger broader skulls. This is a problem if you don't have a dog around to compare because females and younger wolves will have smaller skulls.
2. Dark straight claws (no pink color anywhere on the claws). Domestic dogs most commonly have white curved claw tips w pinkish coloration toward the toes with no skin (webbing) between the toes. As far as I know this is a 99% tell.
3. Furry ears: you can see no pink in a wolf's ears.
4. Almond shaped eyes w black eye-lining as seen in this picture.
There are many more from the shape of the hind legs to the thick double coated fur that's more subtle and requires a good view from different angles but these usually work for my purpose.
Any expert opinion is welcome since again I myself have a hard time making the distinction given the fact that they have a common grey wolf ancestor and it's conceivable that there is some cross breading out there both in the wild and in captivity that make these signs less than reliable.

Not easy to see as the spider has built up a covering of past meals and webbing that allows it to take cover inside.
