#I don’t know who these people are #and going purely by the pictures I see no reason to think that the mask and the person holding it have the same face #(I know I know prosopagnosia) #but I like the general concept as described #scopophobia

What, not enough Wing Bling our Carpenter Bee friends?  Well check this out, Pilgrim, …. from Thailand.  Another Xylocopa specimen found lounging around the Packer Lab.  

So…did you know that Xylocopa lay the worlds largest insect egg?  

No, you did not.

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

 

Aesthetic Birds 1

 

Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all.
Some equally balanced wild colorations include

Aesthetic Birds 2

Pygmy Falcon

Aesthetic Birds 3

Great Hornbill

Aesthetic Birds 4

Wallcreeper

and

Aesthetic Birds 5

Black-throated Loon

this is a good addition to this post. thank you for this birds educations

First impressions:

Lahore pigeons: central in the space of “bird” concept; like fluffy chocolatey NYC pigeons

Pygmy falcon: exactly what it says on the tin; pygmy falcon is to falcon as domestic cat is to tiger

Great hornbill: damn that is cool; reminds me of cormorants’ orange and black color scheme

Wallcreeper: a cross between a butterfly and a bird

Black-throated loon: peaceful-looking; makes an adorable noise

And let me add:

Aesthetic Birds 6

Spectacled owl

Aesthetic Birds 7

Little pied cormorant

Aesthetic Birds 8

Blue-and-white flycatcher

Blackish Nightjar (Nyctipolus nigrescens)

Blackish Nightjar is a relatively small dark nightjar, well named for its predominantly blackish plumage; this coloration provides good camouflage against this nightjar’s preferred microhabitat of granite rock outcroppings in forest clearings and along trails.

This preference means that the species is regularly encountered by ornithologists and birdwatchers, because the species is comparatively easier to find day roosting than many other nightjars in the Neotropics. Blackish Nightjar plumage also lacks any collared effect.

This species occurs from eastern Colombia across much of Amazonian Brazil, north to southern Venezuela and the Guianas, and south to Bolivia, and from sea level to approximately 1200 m.

Due to its undoubted abundance, the breeding biology of Blackish Nightjar is better known than many other Neotropical nightjars.

Smithsonian Nat’l Zoo Gov Doc: Walter, the Screaming Hairy Armadillo

Walter is the newest armadillo at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. He 3-years-old and came from the Cincinnati Zoo. Walter is the Zoo’s only screaming hairy armadillo, named for the loud piercing noise they emit to warn off predators

I did not know there was a screaming hairy armadillo and my life has just measurably improved.
