Common and abundant. Less so, this year.
Wryneck - Jynx Torquilla
Ogmore
The wrynecks (genus Jynx) are a small but distinctive group of small Old World woodpeckers. Jynx is from the Ancient Greek iunx, the Eurasian wryneck.
Like the true woodpeckers, wrynecks have large heads, long tongues which they use to extract their insect prey and zygodactyl feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backwards. However, they lack the stiff tail feathers that the true woodpeckers use when climbing trees, so they are more likely than their relatives to perch on a branch rather than an upright trunk.
Their bills are shorter and less dagger-like than in the true woodpeckers, but their chief prey are ants and other insects, which they find in decaying wood or almost bare soil. They re-use woodpecker holes for nesting, rather than making their own holes. The eggs are white, as with many hole nesters.
The two species have cryptic plumage, with intricate patterning of greys and browns. The adult moults rapidly between July and September, although some moult continues in its winter quarters. The voice is a nasal woodpecker-like call.
These birds get their English name from their ability to turn their heads almost 180 degrees. When disturbed at the nest, they use this snake-like head twisting and hissing as a threat display.

This is one of the most interesting and beautiful caterpillars I have ever seen. It is about two inches long.
Thanks to Albertaleps, i found out that this is the caterpillar of the "Smeared Dagger Moth" I did some google searches and found out that this is one of the most poisonous caterpillars in North America. The spines have a toxin that can cause severe pain and swelling, as well as an allergic reaction in humans.
I think the bright colours and wicked spines are a good warning to possible predators not to touch it.
I posted a link below if anyone wants to see the less flamboyant adult stage.

Love me, but do not get too close. Look at me, but do not see me. Hidden tears in shadows and behind locks of amber hair, she smiles though at times it aches. Dexy Dagger. A soul as warm as stones in the sun.
To avoid predators a lot of caterpillars rely on camourflage, but some, like this Grey Dagger Moth caterpillar, advertise warning signs. Apart from the obvious dagger, by its striking red and yellow colouration it also signals it's poisonous to eat. This one appeared on a blackthorn bush in my garden, one of its host plants.
Many thanks for your comments. Wishing you well in all your undertakings.

#MacroMondays
#Seasonings
What a Monday. Internet chaos, work organisation on the phone... WiFi had been down since Monday noon, and has just now miraculously reappeared. My upload of this MM contribution also "failed" yesterday, and the image just appeared today (Tuesday) in my stream, so technically, this is now for "Macro Tuesday".
Anyways, here is a still life of some of the most basic and universal seasonings: salt, pepper, and, for those of us who like it hot(ter): chilli.
The "diamonds" in this scene are the salt crystals, of course, because in the Middle Ages, salt was often more precious and expensive than gold. For people who can't eat that spicy, the pepper corns sit in between, and might already qualify as a "dagger". Which brings us to the true dagger in this scene: a dried Trinidad Scorpion chilli. And what possessed me to buy these, I don't know. Or rather, I do: a possible future MM use, and the future was yesterday ;)
Happy Macro Tuesday, Everyone!
