Una Argiope bruennichi ha catturato una grossa preda (Sympetrum fonscolombei) - Civiasco (VC - Valsesia) 14 Agosto 2012
Another shot of yesterday's snake encounter. Snake is a non-venomous Kopstein's Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis kopsteini), and the poor lizard is most likely the Flying Lizard Draco formosus, able to change its colours to blend in with its surroundings.
In the ten-or-so minutes I stood taking photos of this scene - right from when the snake first captured the lizard (the sudden movement caught my attention), right up to the snake finally heading off into the undergrowth with only about half the lizard's long tail sticking out of it's mouth - I estimated that the snake was longer than my 178cm hight. Like other colubrid snakes (like the Asian vine snake) this one was quite skinny and had a very long tail. Interestingly, in all of the many shots I took yesterday, this snake's tail remained close to it's head the whole time it was trying to swallow this lizard.
Poor image but good story. Remember the image of the Robber Fly killing and eating the Yellow Jacket? Now here it is in a spider's web. A predator falling victim to another predator. Now I have to be on the lookout for a Yellow Jacket eating the spider. I don't know if that ever happens.

Aufgespießte Raubfliege
Offenbar der Vorrat eines Krähenwürgers.
Apparently the supply of an Australian Butcher Bird.

We just returned from 10 days on an icebreaker, the Origo, leaving Longyearbyen in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. It took us 2 days cruising to reach the ice. Fortunately, there we saw 4 polar bears--a female with 3 cubs, which is unusual. During the trip we saw a total of 12 polar bears, 5 of which were in photo distance. It was quite an experience to have respectful encounters with a mammal this large and realize that I was not the top of the food chain. This shot was taken from the Origo, others to come, from a zodiac. I want to thank Fllickr friends Ann Silvestre, and Mario Nonaka, for valuable information that helped us prepare for this amazing Arctic photo expedition.
Thanks for all visits, comments & Favs!
I would be greatful if you follow me in flickr.
Have a nice day!

The Red-shouldered Hawk patrols the neighborhood always looking for a meal. Sometimes he perches at the edge of my backyard and eyes the birds at my feeding station.

Cocoa Beach Airshow 2025An F-22 Raptor rockets skyward at Cocoa Beach Airshow 2025, afterburners ignited and vapor trails slicing through the clear sky. Captured mid-climb, the stealth fighter radiates raw power and aerodynamic precision. This apex moment channels the Raptor’s dominance and velocity, a visual strike of tactical supremacy in motion.

When I took the photo I didn't notice the Crab Spider having lunch. I did notice the Saw Bug, AKA Wheel Bug on the prowl.
For what it's worth, they both bite. I don't know about the Crab Spider but I do know that Wheel Bugs HURT! I don't recommend trying to pet them.
They are beneficial as they prey on other harmful insects including those horrid Japanese Beetles that are eating the leaves off my tree until the Hibiscus start blooming.
Well, I should rather work on my Alien vs. Predator presentation for university. But the subject was just to inspiring not to build something related to it. I chose the Predator.
Originally it was planed to build him with his creepy face but I couldn't find a proper way to build it in this scale. So he comes with helmet. The fitting amor gave me the chance to use some Hero Factory parts in pearl silver I had laying around.
Furthermore I tried something new with the background.
I hope you like it.
Alsace - le Hohwald - sep. 2009
Not exactly a Mona Lisa smile, but her eyes !! Enigmatic and meditative. But that's enough anthropomorphism...
Owls in general have poor eyesight. This lady has yellow irises, which means she is diurnal. Nocturnal subspecies have red irises.
The structure of the rostrum starts in the skull and is asymmetric. The concentrical soft feathers capture the soundwaves and lead them to the orifices of the ear canal. The ruffle of tiny mouses between autumnal grasses is enough to locate them with pinpoint precision. The same fine feather structure on the upper side of the relatively broad wings guarantees a stealthy flight.
