Cette araignée prends les couleurs de son environnement

Deze prachtige vuurjuffer vond ik in de achtertuin zittend op een blad van de Oosterse karmozijn bes. Drie huizen verder hebben ze een mooie vijver met diverse libellen en juffers. Ik denk dat deze daar vandaan kwam. De houding op deze foto vind ik erg mooi. Even groot bekijken - door op de 'L' toets te drukken.

I found this beautiful damselfly in the backyard sitting on a leaf of the Oriental crimson berry. Three houses further they have a beautiful pond with various dragonflies and damselflies. I think this one came from there. I really like the pose in this photo. Viewing the same size - by pressing the 'L' key.

WONDERFUL FACTS - What is the most powerful bird in the world?

The wild animal known to have been killed and carried away by a bird was a 15 pound male red howler monkey killed by a Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) in Manu National Park, Peru in 1990.

The harpy eagle is considered the world's most powerful bird of prey, although it weighs only 20 pounds. 🐧

Happy birding 🐾
