And now for something completely different ...
I found this lovely caterpillar in the same habitat I go to in search of shorebirds. Robert Bercha who responded to my query sent to "Alberta Bugs" identified this for me. Thank you Robert.
The link below will bring up examples of the adult.

Cooking Lake. Strathcona County, Alberta.
A Parry's Agave after a rainy night on the Rim. I think the local name, "Shin Dagger" is quite descriptive, no doubt resulting from someone's very unpleasant experience with this plant.
- Mogollon Rim, Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona

This is the Belt of Orion with its three blue stars across the top of the frame (L to R: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka), with the iconic Horsehead Nebula (aka B33) below Alnitak, with the dark Horsehead set against the bright nebula IC 434, aka Orion’s Dagger. The pinkish nebula above Alnitak is NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula. The small blue reflection nebula left of the Horsehead is NGC 2023, with smaller IC 435 to the left of it. The field is filled with the large open cluster Collinder 70. The multiple star at bottom left of centre is Sigma Orionis. Many other smaller bits of reflection nebulas populate the field in and around the Belt.
This is a blend of 8 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 800 unfiltered with 6 x 10-minute exposures at ISO 1600 shot through an Optolong L-Enhance dual-band nebula enhancement filter (it lets through only Oxygen III blue-green and Hydrogen-alpha red to really enhance the nebulosity). The filtered shot is blended in with the unfiltered shot to retain the best of both worlds: the rich reds captured by the filtered images without losing the range of colours in the other nebulas such as the salmon pinks of the Flame and the blue reflection nebulas and stars.
All exposures with the Canon EOS Ra mirrorless camera through the SharpStar HNT150 Hyperbolic Newtonian Astrograph at f/2.8, from home on a very clear moonless night January 27, 2020. All stacked, aligned and blended in Photoshop 2020.
One of my all time favorite comic book anti-hero teams.
The Marvel's Cloak & Dagger series on the Freeform network is damn good as well.

Perhaps I will find some time for return to this configuration, and to make a better shots in better light conditions.
I will just replace it, and You will never know... ;)

Found this colorful caterpillar in our garden. Hope it'll get some day a moth like it should be: www.schmetterling-raupe.de/art/psi.htm
"A small dagger I have tightly in my belt,
that a whim made me make it my own;
and because I hate no one in the world to kill,
I am afraid lest some day I turn it against myself ..."

our friend nancy found this beauty hanging out in her yard. we "borrowed" it for a few photos and then let it go back into nature. i don't think the moth is as stunning.
Holy shit, I didn't even know that they even started filming! Well here's the trailer if you want to check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5hrFVQiGyk&t=0s
Uhhhh yeah I'm probably not going to watch this one, guys. I mean, it's on ABC Freeform so yeah. Maybe I'll watch the series premiere and review it, but I'm not having much faith for this show. It's also coming sometime in 2018, so yeah. Anyways, make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Empis tessellata
"9-12mm. This is the largest of the genus. It is a bristly fly with brown-tinged wings. It has black femora but the tibia and tarsi may be red/brown.
"Similar Species: Empis opaca is another large Empis4 bristles on the scutellum; prosternum hairy all over (located under the thorax, between the head and front coxa)
"Habitat: It frequents hedges, woodland edges, gardens and shrubby habitats. Particularly common on Hogweed and other umbellifer flowers.
"When to see it: April to August.
"Life History: Though it feeds on nectar it is also a predator and catches other insects using its long pointed proboscis to pierce their bodies. Males of E. opaca and E. tessellata present a 'gift' to the female, in the form of a dead insect, before mating takes place. Females will not mate with males who do not present a gift."
