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.

I was poking my Google Photos account and came across some photos I had completely forgotten about. They were all taken at the lovely Brugge sim. They were taken with Black Dragon viewer and are un-edited.

A bird could do a lot of damage with that dagger of a beak.
The ancient ceremonial dagger had many uses: Cutting out hearts, cutting out eyes, cutting off... um, cutting out intestines, and cutting up the high priest's food...
"The Ice Dagger is a fast, light-armored, heavily armed universal transport, developed for winter conditions. It is carries a crew of two or three and can carry at least six dismounted infantry and their gear in the rear compartment. It carries a pair of 20mm autocannons and four antiarmor missiles in a remote turret. A heavy machine gun mounted ahead of the main turret can be operated remotely or alternatively by a crewmember or trooper from the passenger compartment through a hatch in the roof."
This is a bit of a first for me - the Ice Dagger marks the first of my G.I.Joe builds that take their inspiration from a toy from the "Valor vs Venom" line, which was a later iteration of G.I.Joe than the classic A Real American Hero that line I'm most familiar with.

I will likely get to a few more of these later-era vehicles, as some of them are really quite nice, but I don't plan to build most of them. The Ice Dagger is basically a upsized skimobile and it ended up a little larger than I expected, in part because of the canopy I ended up using, which made the basic hull 8 studs wide. I've built a good number of winter vehicles for the Joes, but they were still missing a dedicated troop transport, and the Ice Dagger fit the bill nicely.
My Arctic building spree is nearing its end, but I'm not quite done yet. I have at least one more vehicle on its way in winter colors.
Today we had and amazing shooting with Victoria Dagger. This is the same set up as my project called "El Bro and The Apples. I just wanted to try it agan with a female model in state of shooting my self... and let me tell you, this looks much better... well, Victoria is a beautiful model.
I also want to give credits to my friend Karen Kaner for letting me shoot in her studio and helping me out to make this whole concept hapen.
Thanks Karen!! :)

The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is the largest heron in Europe. It has a long neck, a strong, dagger-like bill and long yellow legs. In flight, the neck is folded back, and the wings are bowed. In adults, the forehead, sides of the head and the center of the crown are white, whereas in juveniles these are greyish. The sexes are similar in appearance.
The grey heron feeds mainly on fish, which it hunts by patiently standing completely still at the side of the water, and striking rapidly when a fish comes into range. The prey is caught in the bill or speared; amphibians, small mammals, birds and invertebrates may also be taken. Feeding areas are often vigorously defended against intruders. It breeds either solitarily or in colonies, called heronries, in woodland close to water. The heronries are usually traditional sites used by successive generations. The flat nest of sticks is built in the crown of the tree early in the year, and four or five eggs are laid towards the end of March, though often earlier in mild winters. Both parents share the duties of incubation, which takes 25 to 26 days. The young, which are covered in down in their first days of life and are fed on regurgitated fish, fledge after 20 to 30 days.
