I noticed this katydid on one of the window screens and took a few photos, trying to capture a ‘life-behind-bars’ feeling. Little did I know how this would pan out.
The gecko appeared from above and slowly edged towards its prey. Then it reached down and …. licked the katydid. The katydid immediately hurled itself into space and wasn’t seen again. The gecko wandered off. Apparently, life can get very weird behind bars.
During the deluge of a couple of weeks ago, I took some photos that didn’t quite work out as intended, but still looked interesting to me. This is one of them.
The Blackstripe Coris is known as Hilu in Hawaii. According to legend, two gods who were brothers appeared as Hilus. One got caught and ended up on a grill, but the other took human form, rescued his brother, and returned him to the ocean. However, the stripes from the grill remained and can still be seen on the Hilu to this day.
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your 2022 Year-in-Review.’ See more responses here. Like last year, I’ve gone with a favorite photo from each month of 2021, with a caption and link to the post the photo first appeared in.
One of the light towers at a ball field in Waimea.
This Black Witch Moth spent the day resting under the eaves of the house. The wingspan is a good six inches and it was in perfect condition, not like some of the battered individuals I’ve seen before.
I saw this nest hanging from the mock orange in the yard. I think it’s the nest of a Japanese White-eye and I’m hoping it’s an old one and didn’t tip any youngsters out to their fate.
I was having a wander around a ball field in Waimea when I saw this scene in one of the dugouts. The shoes were so neatly placed, but still forgotten.
