Dragonfly, according to scientists, is the fastest insect on earth and can develop a speed of up to 97 kilometers per hour. Their legs and jaws in their mouths make them excellent hunters. The name Dragonfly comes from the Latin libella meaning "hydrometer", or "hydrostat". Dragonflies only have wings for the last 3-4 weeks of their lives. They are not dangerous to humans, as they do not bite and do not have stingers.
Their eyes are amazing. They are very large and can see 360 degrees. They can fly in all directions. Front, back, up, down. They can also fly with their body touching the water! The hunting skills of the dragonfly are amazing. It manages to kill 95% of its targets, which ranks it higher on the list of "predators", above the lion and great white shark.

This is either a juvenile Red Tailed Hawk, Coopers Hawk or Sharp Shin Hawk. Spotted in the thick brush. Having looked at the article that Leslie referenced in her comment, it may well be a Red Tailed. One of the tests to tell if it's a red tailed vs. other is whether it's beefy or not. Red Tailed tend to be "beefy" and Coopers or Sharp Shinned, not so much. When observing it yesterday, both my wife and I simultaneously said, "that's a big one"
This creation is based on my own photograph of a female sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), taken seven years ago, in Essex. She was a mighty fine predator. This image inspired me, today, to play with colour. Thank you for taking time to view it. NB: Dave Culley, who’s extremely knowledgeable on all things sparrowhawk, ‘favourited’ my original photo, on which this art is based. He was also very generous in sharing his knowledge with me.
A couple of walkers put a pair of hungry eagles off the hunt, but the birds will return as soon as the walkers leave. Poor wee sheep's not got a hope, stuck up there.

A temporary break from my Flickr hiatus (I promise!!).
I made an updated version of my Predator fig for a commission, but I was so pleased that finally made a removable predator mask, that I had to upload this pic.
I also had my first attempt at painting a Predator face on a lego fig.
The mask was made entirely out of a carved up, standard lego crash helmet (I have tons of these lying around, so I'm glad I found a use for them).
Let me know what you think guys.
My weeding in the front flower bed disturbed this Praying mantis. There are three species found in Missouri (Carolina, Chinese, and European) and while their egg cases are easily distinguished, the adults, not so much. This one was 1.5 inches (4 cm) long but is perhaps a youth from the looks of its upturned abdomen. I relocated it to the back yard's milkweed plants that need a predator against the aphids.
Since I was already on my knees weeding, it was easy to grab the camera and get on my belly for this closeup shot. The eye piece is always preferable to the back screen. The overcast day made a diffused even light.

A Mopsus mormon "Green jumping spider" has managed to get the better of a marginally smaller jumping spider in my back garden.
Taken with Canon 600D/T3i, 55-250mm f/4-5.6 (one of the kit lenses) and full set of extension tubes.
I also took some video of this, which can be found at:
While we were on Inner Farne this Gull was perched for most of the time atop this whitewashed wall. It was surrounded by nesting Razorbills, Guillemots, Shags, Kittiwakes, Terns, Eiders and Puffins - and it was just waiting for an egg or a chick to be left unguarded ...
I went out yesterday afternoon for a little macro shooting. It was very hot and windy but I found a little Blue Dasher tucked away in a hedge so I started snapping some shots. Shortly after that this robberfly buzzed my ear and landed on a branch above my head. I was able to snap one shot of her and she dove off her perch and drove the Blue Dasher to the ground.
The sight was a little bittersweet, but these are two of my favorite subjects and this was an incredible thing to witness.
Focusing was alittle tough, because I do not stack. I wanted to try to get both of their faces in focus but I knew this wasn't going to happen so I split the difference.
having seen the predator trailer i decided to make the old predator!
it took me about five days to sculpt and two days to paint
sorry for not uploading for a while, i was waiting for my new LED photo booth to arrive and i am really pleased with it, i do have different colour backgrounds to try too.
let me know what you think in the comments!!
Can't believe I've never done a solo shot of this guy. Really one of the more fun Dreadnoks, although his sculpt is a bit exaggerated.
Spider of many names.
Argiope Aurantia is a species of spider, commonly known as the Yellow Garden Spider, Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Golden Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Zigzag Spider, Zipper Spider, Black and Yellow Argiope, Corn Spider, Steeler Spider, or McKinley Spider.
Like I said, many names.
I haven't found any around here this year but I do keep looking....
My design for an armor clad Predator dressed for war.
Shout out to Grantmasters who's Predator hand moc really struck in my mind. See it on the link below.

I spotted this spider on the tip of a leaf, staring at an insect. The insect was engrossed in eating a smaller insect, and did not notice the spider approaching. In an instant, the spider had jumped on the insect and the eater was itself eaten.
These are a couple more photos from the sighting of this lion pride with cubs. This mom wanted to sleep and I guess she had enough of the antics of this cub so she is showing him some tough love. Although it looks like she is hurting him, she did not. She is still showing her displeasure with her teeth, but a cuddle affirms that she still loves him. Taken in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. Another photo is in the comment box.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
A common stretch spider (Tetragnatha extensa) which had made it's web between the reeds just above the water got lucky - and the unlucky one in this equation is a male spearhead bluet (Coenagrion hastulatum).
I took this while out in the water wearing waders so it was a bit tricky getting low enough to get a decent framing without dipping the camera into the water.
Two damsels of the same species that got luckier (literally!) were this couple a meter or two away from this scene: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52128643481/
