Image ID: an aerial shot of a countryside. There are several long, rectangular fields, all slightly different shades of green (probably because they’re growing different plants). They’re lined with what appear to be hedges or possibly brambles and the occasional tree casting long shadows, some of which appear to be blooming pale flowers. In the center there is a field that’s bright red that fades out in streaks. It almost looks like a streaky line of paint. /End ID

This is a swallowtail moth. They have a very short season but if I'm lucky, in summer a small number of them drop by. What a joy. Pls enjoy this moth because the world feels better knowing they exist 💖🦋

That face

it’s crazy how much diversity there can be in one species…these are all pictures of the same bird species (red-tailed hawk)
