I wanted to put this up here because I was watching Jersey Shore the other day with my friend, and it was nothing like what I saw last summer.
This is from my summer trip to Philly and Jersey Shore. I love it there. I also got a new lens for Christmas, I've been playing around with it, and getting used to it. Expect some new pictures this week after my photoshoot with Serena tomorrow.
Jersey Tiger moth my wife found in our porch on 20/07/2018. I've seen the odd one here before, but a lovely find. And in very good condition, so much be newly hatched.
The 31st annual United States Marine John Basilone Parade. SGT Basilone is the only rated man to be awarded both the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. The speaker this year was General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Congressional Medal of Honor citation:
For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action against enemy Japanese forces, above and beyond the call of duty, while serving with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines in the Lunga Area, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on 24 and 25 of October 1942. While the enemy was hammering at the Marines defensive positions, Sgt. Basilone, in charge of 2 sections of heavy machine guns, fought valiantly to check the savage and determined assault. In a fierce frontal attack with the Japanese blasting his guns with grenades and mortar fire, one of Sgt. Basilone’s sections, with its “gun crews”, was put out of action, leaving only 2 men able to carry on. Moving an extra gun into position, he placed it in action, then, under continual fire, repaired another and personally manned it, gallantly holding his line until replacements arrives. A little later, with ammunition critically low and the supply lines cut off, Sgt. Basilone, at great risk to his own life and in the face of continued enemy attack, battled his way through hostile lines with urgently needed shells for his gunners, thereby contributing in large measure to the virtual annihilation of a Japanese regiment. His great personal valor and courageous initiative were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Navy Cross citation:
“For extraordinary heroism while serving as a leader of a Machine-Gun Section of Company C, First Battalion, Twenty-Seventh Marines, Fifth Marine Division, in Action against enemy Japanese forces on Iwo Jima in the Volcano Islands, 19 February 1945. Shrewdly gauging the tactical situation shortly after landing when his company’s advance was held up by the concentrated fire of heavily fortified Japanese blockhouse, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone boldly defied The smashing bombardment of heavy caliber fire to work his way around the flank and up to a position directly on top of the blockhouse and then, attacking With grenades and demolitions, single-handedly destroyed the entire hostile strongpoint and its defending garrison. Consistently daring and aggressive as he fought his way over the battle-torn beach and up the sloping, gun-studded terraces toward Airfield Number One, he repeatedly exposed himself to the blasting fury of exploding shells and later in the day coolly proceeded to the aid of a friendly tank which had been trapped in an enemy mine field under intense mortar and artillery Barrages, skillfully guiding the heavy vehicle over the hazardous terrain to safety, despite the overwhelming volume of hostile fire. In the forefront of the assault at all times, he pushed forward with dauntless courage and iron determination until, moving upon the edge of the airfield, he fell, instantly by a bursting mortar shell. Stout-hearted and indomitable, Gunnery Sergeant Basilone by his intrepid initiative, outstanding professional skill and valiant spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of fanatic opposition, contributed materially to the advance of his company during the early critical period of the assault, and his unwavering devotion to his comrades and reflects the highest credit upon Gunnery Sergeant Basilone and the United States Naval Service.”
Anyone able to ID?
Probably needed dissection to separate from A. ribauti?
On coastal sand dune habitat in Jersey
This is a first for me. It turns out this is a Jersey Tiger (not a Garden Tiger as I at first thought) which has only a very local distribution (Channel Islands and South Devon/Dorset coast). There were several flying in Langmoor Gardens on 3 August 2006. Slightly out of focus as its a small crop; I just couldn't get closer without disturbing it. Thanks to Dave Appleton and Colin Barnes for links to Back Garden Moths and UK Moths which confirmed the ID.
