One of my favourite photos that I've made (even if my wife hates it!).  

Shot at sunrise on a truely miserable morning, the stumps are light-painted with a gelled speedlight during a long exposure.

This is the female Mopsus mormon or "Northern Green" Salticidae in the same family of the male I posted a while back. 
They are certainly not as peculiar looking, but very pretty none the less.
I have often seem Jumping Spiders eating something looking exactly like wht is in this one's mouth, but I have no idea what it is?
Oneday I'll have to swipe it from one of them to investigate further, as I've seen it many times with different species in different places.

My passion for animals and desire to learn about nature has led me to take many photos of landscapes, wild animals, pets, and nature, as well as a variety of other subjects. The possibilities are endless, and the challenge never fades. Here you will find samples of my work, please enjoy my entire collection of fine art at www.rollosphotos.com.

Angry Bird

The adorable little Allen's Hummingbird. This little jewel is so quick and very aggressive. So much fun to watch and a great challenge to capture in flight.

Grey Lourie
(Go-away Bird, Kwëvoël, Corythaixoides concolor)

A repeat for #BirdPoker "Grey" curated by +Phil Armishaw

The Legend of the Go-Away Bird:
 
Legend has it that the Go-Away Bird follows the hunter as he stalks his quarry. 

Just as the hunter is about to take his shot the bird swoops down over the intended victim and yells "GO AWAY....GO WAY" in a loud raucous voice. The animal then heads for a distant horizon at great speed leaving the hunter frustrated.

The bird, being of a somewhat arrogant nature, then perches on top of the nearest tall tree and gloats. For this reason many a Go-away bird has ended its days in a cloud of feathers having been hit by a 30/06 round from the frustrated hunter's rifle!

EMU

Emu is one of the largest birds on earth. Poor chap cannot fly like the Ostrich or Cassowary! Oh well, I might will find proof some day like with the African penguins, that they can fly. Not far but with both legs above the ground :))

Meet the toughest animal on the planet: The water bear that can survive being frozen or boiled, float around in space and live for 200 years

Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are some of the most fascinating animals in world because they can live happily in the most extreme conditions.

Boil the 1mm creatures, freeze them, dry them, expose them to radiation and they're so resilient they'll still be alive 200 years later.

Water bears can hack temperatures as low as -457 degrees, heat as high as 357 degrees, and 5,700 grays of radiation, when 10-20 grays would kill humans and most other animals.

The animals can also live for a decade without water and even survive in space.

Read more on the water bear and watch videos: http://goo.gl/tlhE3

Save Tigers !

India's national animal - Tiger  is fighting for its life. From around 40,000 at the turn of the last century, there are just about 1400 tigers left in India.

If we don’t act now, we could lose this part of our heritage forever.
Speak up, blog, share the concern, stay informed… Every little bit helps.

Save Our Tigers.!

·٠•●♥ Lady's Slipper Orchid
One of the most unique characteristics of a ladyslipper is its pouch, which is designed to force insects to brush against the ladyslipper's staminode and thus gather or deposit pollinia. This helps the orchid reproduce. The pouch resembles a slipper, which is how the flower got its name.
