what I think are cabbage white butterfly eggs on a rocket leaf - same ones I photographed here www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/7960696414/ 9 days ago. Thought they looked close to hatching
Veligers, one per capsule, of the aeolid nudibranch Pacifia goddardi. The shells were about 100 microns long. The small bright spheres are the mineralized statoliths, inside the statocysts, used for balance in the plankton. Photomicrograph of a small area of the egg string.
A recently hatched Caribbean flamingo chick reaches up to its mother, hoping to be fed at the San Diego Zoo this morning. The Zoo currently has 118 Caribbean flamingos and this chick is one of seven hatched this year.
When born, flamingo chicks have gray down feathers and are the size of a tennis ball with legs. After hatching, the chicks stay close to a parent, sitting with the mother or father for the first 5 to 12 days on a nest mound created for the chick.
The San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park are among only a handful of zoos in the world to raise offspring from three of the five flamingo species; Caribbean flamingos, a greater flamingo subspecies, Chilean flamingos and lesser flamingos. Together, the Zoo and Park have successfully hatched over 450 chicks. www.sandiegozoo.org
TAXONOMY
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Order: Octopoda
Family: Octopodidae.
Genus/species: Amphioctopus marginatus
GENERAL CHACTERISTICS: The main body (mantle) is small to medium sized, 5–8 cm (15 cm [6 in] including arms) in length. The arms are usually dark with contrasting white suckers. They have only soft bodies with no internal skeleton with a hard parrot-like beak allowing them to hide in very small spaces.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: The tropical western Pacific and coastal waters of the Indian Ocean on sandy bottoms.
DIET IN THE WILD: Shrimp, crabs, and clams. A.marginatus uses its sharp parrot-like beak to crush the shells of its prey. Shells of prey that are difficult to pull or bite open can be “drilled” in order to gain access to the soft tissue: salivary secretions soften the shell, and a tiny hole is created with the radula (a rasplike structure of tiny teeth used for scraping food particles off a surface). The octopus then secretes a toxin that paralyzes the prey and begins to dissolve it. The shell is pulled apart and the soft tissues are consumed.
REPRODUCTION: Octopus reproduction strategy provides a counterpoint to the male sacrifice of the flower mantis and the bird-eater taranula, The coconut octopus female mates with the male, and retreats into a den where she lays her eggs. At this point, she no longer feeds, instead spending the rest of her now short life protecting her eggs from predators and continually cleaning and aerating them. She dies shortly after the hatching of her eggs and their subsequent entry into the plankton.
MORTALITY
They live only 10-12 months.
REMARKS: The species' common name derives from this octopus' habit of carrying around coconut shell halves, by fitting its body into the bowl and extending rigid arms from the coconut's edge to the substrate and tiptoeing away in gait called "stilt-walking" or bipedal walking.
The Steinhart is the first public aquarium in the U.S. to display the coconut octopus. Our octopus was collected by Bart Shepherd, Curator of the Steinhart Aquarium, during a 2011 research expedition to the Philippines.

This is an example of hatching done by an American artist, Jasper Johns. He experiments with the use of color and fading and consquently a pattern is made. Hatching and cross-hatching are techniques that create the illusion of value to a picture. They add tone to the shading.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo welcomed two burrowing owl chicks Aug. 2—the first hatching of this species at the Zoo in 30 years. The chicks’ parents, a 5-year-old male and 4-year-old female, have been at the Zoo since June 2006.
The last time burrowing owls successfully bred at the National Zoo was in the late 1970s. A recent population-management plan recommended breeding the Zoo’s current adult pair. The chicks are with their parents in the Zoo’s Bird House. Currently, there is semi-transparent filter paper covering their exhibit, providing the chicks with privacy. As they become more comfortable with their new surroundings, the paper will slowly be removed.

El “Oviraptor” fue un dinosaurio terópodo que vivió en el periodo Cretácico en los actuales desiertos de Mongolia, su nombre se traduce como “ladrón de huevos” al descubrir sus restos fósiles cerca de un nido que resulto ser empollado por el mismo Oviraptor, recientes investigaciones debaten una alimentación omnívora del Oviraptor prefiriendo alimentarse de ostras y moluscos que tomar el riesgo de asaltar nidos de otros dinosaurios.
El aspecto del Oviraptor se asemeja a los rasgos de las aves actuales con presencia de un pico sin dientes, vertebras fusionadas para una postura más rígida y presencia de un extenso plumaje en su registro fósil.
Ahora en la saga de “DinoCrisis” el Oviraptor es un carnívoro agresivo con 1.5 metro de alto que invadió las instalaciones de Investigación para cazar humanos presentando un dimorfismo sexual en el color verde de los machos y marrón en las hembras, otra cualidad es su capacidad de escupir veneno como el Dilophosaurus de Parque Jurásico. (Aunque no se tiene evidencia fósil de toxinas en los dientes o glándulas de los dinosaurios los científicos tienen la teoría que adaptaron estrategias similares a los reptiles y aves venenosas.)

Das Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich über den Osten Nordamerikas vom Süden Kanadas bis zum Golf von Mexiko. Im Englischen wird der Vogel Blue Jay genannt. Der Vogel ist ein Teilzieher, nur die nördlichsten Populationen ziehen im Winter nach Süden. Der ursprüngliche Bewohner von Laubwäldern ist heute auch vor allem im Winter im Agrarland, in Dörfern, Parks und Vororten anzutreffen. Im westlichen Teil Nordamerikas bis zur Pazifikküste findet sich dagegen der dem Blauhäher nahe verwandte Diademhäher (Cyanocitta stelleri, engl. Steller's Jay).

The Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to North America. It is resident through most of eastern and central United States and southern Canada, although western populations may be migratory. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is common near and in residential areas. It is predominately blue with a white chest and underparts, and a blue crest. It has a black, U-shaped collar around its neck and a black border behind the crest. Sexes are similar in size and plumage, and plumage does not vary throughout the year. Four subspecies of the Blue Jay are recognized.
The Blue Jay mainly feeds on nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits, arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. It typically gleans food from trees, shrubs, and the ground, though it sometimes hawks insects from the air. It builds an open cup nest in the branches of a tree, which both sexes participate in constructing. The clutch can contain two to seven eggs, which are blueish or light brown with brown spots. Young are altricial, and are brooded by the female for 8–12 days after hatching. They may remain with their parents for one to two months.
