A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Nice photos. Very pretty
Beautiful bird
Insect pupa likely a moth butterfly or other flying insect
Not roses. Definitely Bottle Brush
Looks like a snake of the racer variety. Not a worm as there is no segmentation or band
Very good as steamed vegetable. Use leather gloves to harvest as stinging barbs highly irritating. Cooking destroys the sting so are safe to eat
In the USA we grow these bottle brush for decorative landscaping
I have been told these are harmless to humans. Also told they hunt and kill Mosquitos
