to celebrate the webspace that's been kindly provided to me today, my first post will echo krss' usericon.

if only i had the proper camera with me today. the camera that makes pics like this..



..actually, and not a weird phonething that pretends to have a 5MPx Zeiss Optics.. >_>
but too late to fret. you have to make do with upgraded crappypics.. :p

i found something today. something that would give Nicole Kidman the creeps..
it was somewhat windy and he must have gotten mangled in the high branches, i assume. he was missing two legs and his wings were a little battered and set a bit crooked. couldn't fly properly, poor thing. :(
but still a sight to behold.. the Apatura ilia.

you think you know colors, don't you? now if you think these wings are brown..



.. look again!



.. and again!



..and again!!
(of course that in the most crucial moment the damn camera had to focus on some bullshit and not where it was intended to!!)



and this post would not be complete without presenting this little tidbit of information:
"the purple emperor does not feed from flowers but instead on the honeydew secreted by aphids and on dung, urine and animal carcasses."
say that nature has no imagination.. :p
