Moth Of The Day #112

Clouded Silver

Lomographa temerata

From the geometridae family. They have a wingspan of 22-30 mm. They tend to inhabit gardens, hedgerows, fens and woodland. They can be found in most of Europe.

[Video ID: a compilation of fotage from a trail camera focused on a man-made watering hole, which is a very large bowl with rocks in it. It’s in a desert area with lots of bushes and trees, though much of the landscape is hard to see due to the low-down angle. To me it looks like the deserts in western North America, but I could be wrong.

Throughout the video lots of animals stop by for a drink! In order they are: a coyote, a skunk, a raccoon, an opossum, a snake (I think a garter snake?), a small brown song bird, a hare, a hawk (possibly a juvenile Cooper’s hawk), a hummingbird, a variety of small song birds taking a bath, and a western scrub jay, also taking a bath.

The audio is mostly splashing from the animals drinking or from the fountain. In the clip of the hawk you can also faintly hear song birds and the flapping of the hawk’s wings. The song birds taking a bath together keep letting out short, shrill chirps. /End ID]

just found out about this cute little birdy and i am in love

i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

this stunning bird is a red-tailed hawk with a genetic mutation called leucism that causes a reduction in pigments.

[Image IDs: three gifs of a beautiful, long-haired dog with alert ears in slow motion. It’s dark enough that the dog, the slightly hilly horizon, and the clouds are all stark black, but the sky is still lit up with pale orange and blue-grey. In all the gifs the dog’s pupils are reflecting a bright white, but its features are otherwise impossible to make out aside from its silhouette. In the first gif the dog is looking to the right and turns towards the camera to look right at the viewer. In the second gif the dog is looking at the viewer and lowering its head toward the ground, its fur billowing a little with the movement. In this one, there’s a very faint light that illuminates some grass and what appears to be the dog’s lower canines, or potentially a white patch under its nose. In the final gif the dog is loping just to the right of the camera, its head lowered and tail wagging. /End ID]
