These delicate little creatures look so vulnerable to me. They seem to be really curious, too, because as I stand or sit to watch them they seem to fly close to me to try to figure out what that giant thing is that wasn't there before! I'll never tire of watching them.
Orchidea tra le più rare d'Italia, Orchis patens è una specie stenomediterranea occidentale, con un singolare areale disgiunto compreso tra Europa ed Africa: è presente infatti solo in Algeria e Marocco e in in pochissime stazioni della riviera ligure di Levante (tra Lavagna e Genova). Per la sua estrema rarità è inserita nel Libro Rosso delle Piante d'Italia come “vulnerabile”.
Among the rarest orchids of Italy, Orchis patens is a Western steno-Mediterranean species, with a singular disjoint areal between Europe and Africa: it lives only in Algeria and Morocco and in a few stations on the Ligurian “Riviera di Levante” (between Lavagna and Genoa). Because of its extreme rarity, it is included in the Red Book of Plants of Italy as "VU" ("vulnerable").

Europe likely entering another COVID wave, says WHO and ECDC
Oct 12 (Reuters) - Another wave of COVID-19 infections may have begun in Europe as cases begin to tick up across the region, the World Health Organization and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Wednesday.
"Although we are not where we were one year ago, it is clear that the COVID-19 pandemic is still not over," WHO's Europe director, Hans Kluge, and ECDC's director, Andrea Ammon, said in a joint statement.
"We are unfortunately seeing indicators rising again in Europe, suggesting that another wave of infections has begun."
WHO's region-wise data showed that only Europe recorded a rise in COVID-19 cases in the week ended Oct. 2, clocking an increase of 8% from the prior week.
Public health experts have warned that vaccine fatigue and confusion over available vaccines will likely limit booster uptake in the region.
Millions of people across Europe remain unvaccinated against COVID-19, the WHO and ECDC noted.
They urged European countries to administer both flu and COVID-19 vaccines ahead of an expected surge in cases of seasonal influenza.
"There was no time to lose," the WHO and ECDC said, adding that vulnerable groups, including people over 60 years old, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities, should get vaccinated against both influenza and COVID-19.

Vulnerable animals in northern BC will receive the care they need, thanks to an investment of approximately $1.5 million made by the BC government to upgrade the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) facility in Prince George. Prince George-Valemount MLA Shirley Bond joined with representatives from the BC SPCA to announce the contribution as part of the $5 million the Province announced earlier this week.

“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.”

Hasrah binti Omar, 14, and Fauziah bt Nassor, 15 learn in school that provides learning opportunity for underprivileged children in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia.
The Society for the Underprivileged Children in Sabah (PKPKM) is an NGO which provides education for undocumented and marginalised refugee and Bajau Laut children in Lahad Datu and Semporna. At present the NGO runs 8 learning centers and provides basic education to over 1900 children.
Sabah is the second largest State in Malaysia in terms of its child population with the most diverse child ethnic/nationality structure. Indigenous children, undocumented and stateless children, migrant and refugee children face numerous barriers in implementation of their rights in addition to the challenges faced by their peers from Malay, Chinese and Indian origin. Existing evidence suggests that these children are among the most deprived in the country - with lower than the average access to basic services and opportunities for development.
UNICEF 2011-2015 Malaysia Country Program is focused on promoting development with equity to reduce disparities in society. It builds on the progress of the 2008-2010 Program in assisting poor, indigenous, migrant and other marginalised, vulnerable and at-risk children in the country.

Vulnerability definition: emerging from your shell only to be caught in the glare of some stranger's camera lens, having less than adequate wings, not to mention the stress of some feathered creature looking for a fresh afternoon snack.
I find the cicada (this kind commonly called Dogday Harvestfly) "shells" hanging all over the pine tree in my yard and have wanted to see how these things "hatch" for a long time. Boy did I get lucky today. Got to see one from beginning to end (took about 15 minutes). I will be sorting through many other shots and posting a few more in my photostream as I have time.

Little is known about the black-mandibled toucan's behavior or life history but it is generally predicted to mirror that of the chestnut-mandibled toucan.......This species mainly feed on fruits, but occasionally on lizards, rodents, smaller birds and insects....Wikipedia.
