Interrupted Dagger Caterpillar (Noctuidae -- Acronictinae --Acronicta interrupta) on Prunus. Sugarloaf Mountain Park, Frederick County, Maryland.
They are mainly predatory flies and generally small to medium sized, non-metallic and rather bristly. The 'dagger' refers to their sharp, piercing mouthparts. It's on a Red campion (Silene dioica) flower. One handheld shot.. :-)

Between the Mexican and U.S. lines at the battle of Palo Alto stood this line of Spanish daggers. When in bloom like this, they deserve their scientific name, yucca gloriosa.
Got around to taking pictures of a dagger I recently received, this one is based on an artifact and made for me based on a picture of it, the original had a bronze handle but I opted to have it made in wood.
This specific one is a German Landsknecht dagger and the original was likely to be made early 16th century.
Dagger and belt was made by Tod of Tod's Stuff

FOR almost three-quarters of a century, highly trained groups of Soldiers have been inserted behind enemy lines to disrupt the movement of enemy troops and supplies to the front lines. These brave Soldiers have frequently used parachutes as a means to infiltrate without being detected.
Although most of the airborne forces of the world still use round parachutes, some specialized military free-fall units use ram-air airfoils, which provide control of speed and direction, as their primary means of infiltration.
Descending from the skies at 12,500 feet, traveling nearly 120 miles per hour, free-fall parachuting is the closest humans have ever come to actually flying. For the Black Daggers, the official U.S. Army Special Operations Command Parachute Demonstration Team, that's a typical Monday morning.
During their two-mile drop, the Black Daggers maneuver their body using their hands, arms, legs and shoulders to control their flight. At a few thousand feet, they deploy their parachutes and land with pin-point precision, whether it's in a football stadium or on their training grounds near Fort Bragg, N.C.
Their mission is to perform live aerial demonstrations in support of Army special operations community relations and recruiting. Composed of volunteers from throughout Army special operations, the Black Daggers have diverse backgrounds and are skilled in various military specialties including Special Forces, Rangers, civil affairs, psychological operations, and signal and support. With an average age of 33 and an average number of free-fall jumps at 560, the team represents the professionalism and dedication of Army special operations forces.

This is either a Grey Dagger or a Dark Dagger (Acronicta sp.), but since I didn't get to examine the genitalia we'll never know!!!!!! Whatever, it's a very distinctive beauty!

Awesome creatures these Dagger caterpillars. i think this is a Dark Dagger rather than Grey by virtue of the fact it has orange blotches on the thoracic segments but then again the protruberance looks a bit on the big side so maybe a Grey but to be honest what do i know .
So Grey/Dark it is
Just messing around with the Khordald Dagger from Eldritch. I found out that the weapon poses for the dagger worked surprisingly well with a running pose I had in my inventory. I'll have to do more experiments with their weapon AOs :3! You can find the weapon here. marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Eldritch-Khordald-Dagger/719...

A Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) bull from Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand County, Colorado.
Broken Dagger is a wapiti bull of the Kawuneeche Valley that I first mentioned when introducing Flattop. He was the first bull I photographed, tending to a harem of about a dozen cows in a stand of aspen and spruce. After the sun had set he finally stepped out into a small clearing, his hindquarters coated in mud from a wallow. To make themselves more intimidating, bulls will copiously urinate into muddy areas and wallow in their own juices, so to speak. Broken Dagger earned his name from the royal (aka dagger) tine that was missing on his right antler. The dagger is typically the longest and most intimidating tine on the antler. It is likely that it was lost during battle with another bull - perhaps Flattop. It is not uncommon to see bulls that have broken and battered antlers during the rut, and almost half of the mature bulls we saw were missing some portion of at least one tine.
One of Chirox's cruel "jokes", Dagger Spiders are nearly indistinguishable from Devourers. When it crawls onto a host, it injects a slow acting poison with each step. The host does not realize anything is amiss until they find themselves paralyzed and helpless. The Dagger Spider then feeds on the host's corpse for months. Thankfully, they are rare.

The 'daggers' get their English names from the black dagger-like markings on the forewings.
This moth is almost impossible to tell by the markings alone from the Dark Dagger (A. tridens), and reference usually has to be made to the genitalia for confirmation. The caterpillars of the two species are quite different, however.
It flies between June and August and is common throughout England, Wales and Ireland, scarcer in Scotland.
The colourful larva is marked with red and yellow and has a tall 'hump' on the back, close to the head.
