Sorry, if I am stating the obvious, I think I got a bit too exited, I had just read the National Wildlie Week page, joined the mission, etc!
Hi Veneta, yes you are right - this is the National Wildlife Week's collection! This flying fish is one of the featured species in their new mission!
This is the same identical picture as the one shown on the scrolling images of the National Wildlife Week's page for "Wildlife with Innovative Defenses"
