A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I enjoy ALL living things but my focus is on amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. I love seeing a species for the 1st time.

This was recently a caterpillar. Based on how much you can still see of it, my guess is it was consumed by a predator and is not a molt.
The large fly (robber fly) is eating the smaller one.
Congrats on 4,000!
Wow, she really let you in close for photos. Amazing spotting and fantastic photography, sunnyjosef!
Thank you both! Ashley, I had to lie motionless on the road and wait for that shot. Every time I made a movement, the turtle would pull back inside its shell. It finally got the nerve to walk. Thankfully it was a quiet road and there was no other traffic.
