La chèvre domestique est une espèce de mammifères herbivores ruminant, appartenant à la famille des bovidés, sous-famille des caprins. Elle a été domestiquée dès le début du Néolithique (environ -10000 ans), vraisemblablement d'abord pour son lait, puis pour sa laine, sa viande, sa peau et son cuir. La plupart du temps, les chèvres sont domestiquées, mais on les trouve aussi à l'état sauvage dans quelques contrées du Caucase, d'Iran, d'Afghanistan ou d'Irak.

Stylish lightweight pocket knife made in France. With a hint of an ebony handle. Lockable blade with liner lock, but still "street legal" in Germany, as it is dual hand operated.
The "37g" name comes from the nominal weight of this knife - 37 grams.
These knives also come with other wood inserts on the handles, such as juniper or olive. Or even as "naked" w/o that piece of wood at all.
Tip, in case you stumble upon those in an online shop: though the "naked" versions do look even more stylish and cool, they are unfortunately very uncomfortable to hold in the hand.
Better buy in a "brick and mortar" shop where you could "try it on" and see how the respective wood and metal combo really looks like.

The white spot on the wings of this individual marks her as a female. Certainly not as showy as the male I posted a few days ago, but lovely nonetheless. Horn Prairie in Fayette County, Illinois.
Wikipedia: The ebony jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata) is a species of broad-winged damselfly. One of about 150 species of Calopterygidae, it is found in the eastern U.S. and southeastern Canada, ranging west to the Great Plains. Other common names include black-winged damselfly.
Prey of this species includes the tiger mosquito, giant willow aphid, fungus gnats, crane flies, large diving beetles, eastern dobsonfly, water fleas, green darner, aquatic oligochaetes, caddisflies, rotifers, copepods, amphipods, dogwood borer, six-spotted tiger beetle, freshwater triclads, and green hydra.
Conservation status: Secure
It was fascinating to watch this damselfly catch and devour a fly. It chewed up the fly in no time at all.

Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly
Everyone out for the day, so I got a taxi to take me to a nearby “park with a river, please”.
“There’s a Lake, over there...” Some taxi drivers have such a drôle sense of humour 😂
I am hopelessly rubbish at driving, here...Automatic!!! I engage the clutch, but it’s the brake and lookout windscreen!
I spent a glorious three or four hours just whiling away the morning and afternoon, snapping off shots of anything I fancied.
Most of my birdie shots - grackles, cardinals, downie woodpeckers, red-wind blackbirds, and American robins are really bad. I was very excited to see so many, I’m afraid...and cyclists, walkers, joggers, skateboarders and children, CHILDREN, kept appearing out of the trees, specifically to scare away the wee birdies...😁
On the way out of the park, I saw this little guy flit in front of me. I followed him, like a stalker...Thrilled!

I finally got an image of one of these little beauties with enough back light to show some of the detail in those wings.
