a black kite holding something in its talon, and trying to eat it mid-flight.

Since this is my first post using @anisota.net the obviosu choice is to share a picture of a moth. #Invertebrate #Photography

a photograph of a moth (dead) that i found near my door - it is black and velvety - and you can see focuse on one of its leg (with white and brown rings alternating) and also focuses on one of the antennae

When you party too much on a Tuesday night, but still need to show up for #WingedWednesday #Photography #Birds #Nature #Jungle #Owl

brown fish owl, sleeping lodged between a tree crotch. with its left wing spread out. you can see one of its eye is closed and one partially open. 

the feathers are mostly bands of dark and light brown.

The teensy #butterfly that is the Dainty Sulfur breeds on a host plant that makes humans cringe and cuss: Spanish Needles. In defense of growing Spanish Needles in my yard, it's a great security plant to grow if you have a problem with prowlers. You've heard of paint tagging an offender, I'm sure--but the seeds of the Spanish Needles hold fast to clothing and are a bitch to remove, so it performs very much like tagging a perp. Not to mention how CUTE these li'l guys are! When they flock around a growth of Spanish Needles, the bunch of 'em looks like yellow glitter.

A few years back, the #Common Buckeye had a huge baby boom over here. Not so much last year even though I have an ample supply of their host plant, Lanceleaf Plantain. They do host on other plants besides that, though. Here's one feasting on the flowers of a Monarch's favorite host plant, the #Honeyvine. YES Honeyvine IS a milkweed!

#WingedWednesday
Although #MonarchButterflies have had waning activity here, other butters have been making up much of the difference. Case in point, the overwintering Eastern Black Swallowtails that have come bustin' out all over.

This dear girl was released while the peach tree was in full bloom.
