Orthomeria pandora "Laguna" hatchling. Very unusually behaved phasmids, they react just at the mere sight of you and run around very fast, quite erractic for stick insects. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect

A lovely green/gold Lamprima adolphinae male, the purple hues show more at certain angles. #bugsky #insects #beetles #coleoptera #wildlife #nature #macro

A very impressive shield bug nymph blending in among the many prickly seeds. Another Corfu find from way back. #stinkbug #bugsky #insects #wildlife #nature #macro #Greece

A moth I found in Corfu once, with a capital Y.

Marmessoidea sp. "Cat Tien" is a rather skittish species, firing its defensive spray at the slightest disturbance. Their lovely colouration more than makes up for it though. #phasmid #stickbug #stick #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

Calvisia marmorata "Mulu", the incredible adult colouration constrats their brilliant camouflage as nymphs. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect

A handful of female New Guinea stag beetles, Lamprima adolphinae. Sometimes called the Juwel Stag beetles for their iridescence and highly variable colour morphs. #bugsky #insects #coeloptera #beetles #nature #beetle #breeding

An adult male Copiphora gracilis resting on a leaf. What he lacks in size he more than made up in attitude, quite an aggressive species. #grasshopper #cricket #bugsky #katydid #insect #nature #macro

Solygia sulcatifrons is a ginormous species from West Africa. I was fortunate enough to have this one several years ago. #bugsky #mantis #prayingmantis #preyingmantis #insects #nature #macro

I also got to photograph this lovely hybrid, a male 7/8ths Albidus, 1/8 Northern Goshawk. The Northern influence gives him more darker feathers.
October 25, 2025 at 8:36 PM
The Siberian Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis albidus, although I'm hearing they are now in the Astur genus. One of the largest subspecies of Goshawk and the palest. What an incredible bird.

A juvenile African hawk-eagle, Aquila spilogaster. A relatively small member of the booted eagle family. Juveniles have this lovely golden brown almost toasted hue while adults are almost black and white with a mottled chest. #falconry #raptor #birdsofprey #birds #wildlife #nature #eagle

Adult female Haaniella gorochovi "Bidoup Nui Ba" and her newly hatched young. Some members of this genus hold the record for largest insect eggs in the world, with hatchlings nearly an inch long. #phasmid #stickbug #stick #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

They pop up in the weirdest of places.

Karschia tibetana, the Tibetan Camel spider, the way their chelicerae make up an almost mammalian style jaw is incredible. #arachnid #camelspider #bugsky #macro #invertebrate

I love being a falconer and exotic pet keeper, it gives me moments like these. Australia's smallest owl and Australia's heaviest cockroach in one hand. The owl is Irwin, my Boobook owl, the roach is a juvenile Rhino roach, not just Australia's heaviest, but the world's. #birds #bugsky #falconry

A large Lirometopum cf. coronatum "Bastimentos" male, nearly fully grown. Also known as Pitbull katydids due to their massive heads and aggressive disposition. #katydid #grasshopper #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

Then and now of one of my Peacock Snakehead fish, Channa pulchripes, one of the most beautiful of the Channa if you ask me. #channa #snakehead #tropical #fishkeeping #fishsky #aqaurium
