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

American Dagger Moth out for a stroll.

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."

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!

You will never escape . . The Dagger Woods.

 

This piece pays homage to those awesome but vague horror movie posters from the 1970s. They tell you just enough to catch your attention, but no storyline or actors were revealed, just a big skull with the movie title.

 

There is actually a place in rural Nova Scotia called Dagger Woods. I remember seeing the sign when I was little and thinking "That sounds like the scariest place on earth."

After more than four months I finally got my Wild Horse Fix yesterday morning. Left my house at 4:40 am to hook up with friends. Took us a while to find them, but we did. I don't know exactly when this little one was born, but it was still on pretty wobbly legs. The marking on the forehead reminded me of a Dagger, so that's what I'm going to call him.

Old dagger with damascus steel I found at home.

Not sure how come this F-102A 56-1219 at the Empire State Aerosciences Museum has to make do wIth wooden supports. I can only assume that at some point there was an issue with its undercarriage?

 

However, at least during its tenure there it has received a new paint job, representing the 27th Fighter Interception Squadron that was based at Griffiss AFB in upstate New York until 1959.

The Grey Dagger (Acronicta psi) is a moth of the family Noctuidae.

For HARDnuary 2015.

Catching a sixties vibe with "Dagger" cat-eye shades

The Grey Dagger (Acronicta psi) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from Europe and North Africa to northern Iran, Central Asia, southern and central Siberia and Mongolia. In the Levant it is found in Lebanon and Israel.

 

This species has grey forewings with bold black dagger-shaped markings. (The Latin specific name also refers to these markings, as resembling the Greek letter psi ψ.) The hindwings are dirty grey, generally paler in the male. The wingspan is 34-45 mm. The Grey Dagger flies at night from June to August [1] and is attracted to light and sometimes to sugar.

 

The larva seen here is whitish below and black above with red spots and a bold yellow stripe along the back. It has a distinctive horn just behind the head (absent from the larva of Dark Dagger). It feeds on a wide range of plants, mainly trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as a pupa.

 

I was quite surprised to see this as they are usually flying by now, will keep an eye on him to see how he develops.

This guy was the first revisit I made when I reached Splinter Hill this morning...I was glad to see him on the same Sumac as my previous visit, and doing well! He'll continue to grow in size but his appearance won't change much...

Boat bow piece sits quite nicely here... Just another, boring nose mod.

It was refreshing to find this little dagger all stretched out, instead of curled into the typical "dagger pose" we know so well.

Inspired by the Digital Daggers on my way back from Target, I got some hair things and also 2 new dolls! But the song that inspired this photo is "Where The Lonely Ones Roam" by the Digital Daggers

Despite its politically incorrect name, the Retarded Dagger (Acronicta retardata) is quite the handsome little fellow.

These vibrantly adorned little daggers are among the more rare and seldom seen Acronicta species in my neck of the woods.

They are listed as maple feeders. The few encounters I've witnessed in Maryland have been on Boxelder...one of the woodier maples.

(Thanks to LeAnn Batty for spotting this beauty)
