Adult leaf insects of both sexes 'sway' on their perches in the canopy. This video shows a young female leaf insect performing this behaviour. Can you suggest why this behaviour may have evolved?

Tried to take a picture of a really pretty Robin in a tree, right when I took the pic it took flight. For a minute I was annoyed at how not clear the image is, but then I realized I had captured a pretty awesome moment!
A distant shot but at least with the action spread out you don't require such a drastic crop.

Human vision is untrustworthy, subjective and selective. Camera vision is total and non – objective. - Andreas Feininger,
Buffalo beetles forage on the ground, and are usually found feeding on fallen fruit and other vegetable detritus.

Strange behaviour from the butterfly when I was taking this picture, every time I changed my viewing angle to get a better shot, the butterfly took a turn as well, looking at the lens. I guess he was posing :-)
A solitary bee found clinging to a leaf with its mandibles on a cold morning.
It was raining the night before and it was still to cold for the solitary bee to fly away so it was still biting on to the leaf where it spent the night.
Species belongs to the Anthophoridae family
The only other time I saw people behaving like this was on a street in Sao Paulo in full view of a crowd of people waiting at a bus stop - that was also a photo shoot. I guess it's kind of more acceptable on a public beach but it still takes a lot of nerve. Great show for onlookers however!
Hurled out of a passing chariot by wicked dogs, damn their eyes!!! We disposed of it in a nearby rubbish bin. In some countries they could be [if they were caught] heavily fined and had their miserable gurt great fat chariot summarily crushed.

This is a unique behaviour of this species I observed after a long time, for which I had no idea before! It seemed to me like a kind of mating rituals. I waste not my time to record this event. I remained scared lest they get disturbed, and thereby I knew that I was breaking some basic ethics of a nature lover. The whole event went for 20 minutes or so, and I recorded only a fraction of this whole event.
My sweet water aquariums are always my wonderful windows to underwater nature. These are of my amazing micro-nature study and I spend hours and hours to experience and document fascinating behaviour of fishes and other creatures, plants, and even macroscopic members of a micro ecosystem under various conditions. Sometimes I study activities of minute creatures at night under low light conditions when all the fishes sleep. My hobby educates me every single moment I observe so close to them. I enjoy beauties of life everyday from so close, and they are my immense source of energies to stay happy.

I wouldn't normally bother posting pigeons, but with this bit behaviour I thought it was worth an upload.
Got a week off work coming up so hope to get out with the main camera at least a little bit.
Some Japanese service behaviours that foreigners may or may not appreciate. Of then they will but some, especially caucasian foreigners may be irritated by some Japanese attempts at service in ways that the foreigner does not expect. I have put an X against those services that I think are best avoided, and a triangle next to those that may, occasionally, result in a negative reation.
To be used with the guessing game in the next image.
Why might Westerners not be happy with some of these instances of Japanese service? Explaining the ones against which I have put a triangle or X....
Spoke in a high pitched voice. It is common for female, and even male (e.g television shopping announcers), Japanese sales staff to speak in a falsetto voice an octave higher than they would normally. This is I think to to be more humble and less threatening (like a child or small person) and also perhaps to depersonalise the interaction so that the customer does not feel oblidged to reciprocate service received, as would be the case in normal Japanese interpersonal interaction, since the false voice connotes that the service staff is a role rather than a person.
This may be felt to be less than ideal to some Westerners since on the one hand they would not want the service staff to demean themselves to that extent, and on the other they would like to be served by a person (and demean that person!) rather than a role.
The falsity of the voice may be felt more acutely by Westerners since I believe Westerners identify more strongly with voices. To a Westerner putting on a false voice is to affect a greater trait rather than state change on the part of the sevice staff. To a Westerner, if a service staff member affects a smile then all they are doing is pretending to be pleased to see you, but if they change their voice then they are pretending to be a different person.
Research shows that Japanese are more sensitive to the information content of tone of voice (Ishii and Kitayama) presumably because Japanese express their state, their emotion, their desire, through the tone of their voice whereas Westerners feel that a vocal tone is something that is situationally unchanging, depending upon personality.
(I really don't know why however, in stage plays featuring famous television and cartoon characters, it seems essential that these characters speak in the same voice as that used on screen, so stage players in Japan mime to a recording of the voice of the voice actor, or more likely actress, that dubbs the character, suggesting a greater degree of voice-identification.
Conversely again, I am troubled by the fact that a great many preadolescent male characters, such as Crayon Shin Chan or even I think Satoshi in Pokemon, are voiced by women. I don't think I noticed that the voices are female, but once I am told, I find it troubling that for instance, Satoshi's voice is that of a woman. It makes me wonder "Who is Satoshi?" or think that "Satoshi is unreal, polysexual, a fake!")

"An otherwise normal person who have an addictive behavior or an obsession over an specific situation or thing, in a subjugated nature.
- Compulsión".
This is a series of photos that intent to portrait the nature of an obsession, taking it out of context and put it well beyond the normal social standard, far away of the comfort zone of most people. When you have a crave for something, and you can't go on without it you might have a Compulsión.
started this wall today back in the shire!
Its on a youth center wall and paid for by devon youth services to raise awereness.
I am very happy with it so far but might change the letters if it doesnt rain again tomorrow.
A short-tailed, plump bird with a low, whirring flight. When perched on a rock it habitually bobs up and down and frequently cocks its tail. Its white throat and breast contrasts with its dark body plumage. It is remarkable in its method of walking into and under water in search of food.

Now, which is more strange? Is it the good folk of Blaenau Ffestiniog, who have developed the weird custom of chucking lumps of slate on every hill that they can find surrounding the town? Or is it the fact that 30 miles up the A470 in Llandudno, B+Q are doing a roaring trade, selling the stuff at 10 quid a bag? Either way, it all seems a bit mad to me...
On the last yards of it's journey south, the Premier set passes through the platform of the closed Blaenau Ffestiniog North station, with a typical Blaenau backdrop.
North station closed in 1982 when the current joint Network Rail/Ffestiniog Railway station came into use, the 1950's station building slipped into dereliction yet survived as long as 2012, and the platform lighting is still in place!

Dolphin Square London,
London police: we believe claims of 'VIP' child sex abuse and murder ... flat in Dolphin Square, Pimlico, London.
A crackdown on crime and antisocial behaviour on the region’s transport network was launched on Monday 6 November.
The two-week initiative has been launched by the TravelSafe Partnership (TSP) and will see police and TravelSafe officers using a range of tactics to keep people safe on the region’s sprawling bus and tram networks, which cater for more than 240 million journeys each year.
Some of the activity during the fortnight long operation will include covert and high visibility TravelSafe officers on board public transport, as well as being deployed on the platforms and bus stations to deter and tackle criminality. The team will also execute warrants issued by court enforcement officials to retrieve unpaid fines.
Chief Inspector Tariq Butt, who leads the partnership for GMP said: “This operation shows our commitment to keeping people safe while using public transport across Greater Manchester. As well as working across the whole network, we will be using a drone to deter antisocial behaviour in Rochdale, and using the presence on public transport to support vulnerable people, such as those who are missing from home or at risk of criminal exploitation.
“We want this initiative to act as a message to our communities, commuters and those people committing crime and antisocial behaviour - we are taking the issue seriously and will see that justice is served against those offenders causing misery across the travel network.”
The partnership is made up of TravelSafe Officers (TSOs) (who are Security Industry Authority accredited), Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and police officers, all dedicated to patrolling the transport network including busses and trams.
The multiagency approach is designed to tackle and reduce crime and antisocial behaviour. It uses antisocial behaviour and crime data alongside intelligence from operators to allocate dedicated resources in areas where they are most needed.
The unit is split by four areas to cover the whole city region. By doing this the team are able to familiarise themselves with the areas they serve and work alongside other partners to get to tackle broader issues associated with antisocial behaviour in those areas.
Greater Manchester's Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Beverley Hughes said: “Public safety is our top priority and that is why we are stepping up our patrols to crack down on crime and anti-social behaviour on our travel network.
