If you suddenly feel something spiky crawl down your shirt or buzz loudly into your hair, chances are it’s a Christmas beetle. We often see them dazed and confused, crawling around on the ground or in the house in the morning after a big night out (they are attracted to bright lights!). / Christmas beetles (Anoplognathus) range from 15 – 40 mm in size and belong to the Scarab family (over 3000 species in Australia).

Kangaroo Island, South Australia Please view large My first cave shot !! The name of Kelly Hill Caves is a result of the story, how it was discovered. In 1880 a local stockman called Kelsy, riding on his horse Kelly, was chasing sheep that had strayed from his property. Unfortunately both of them fell into one of the big sink holes in the area. Kelsy managed to climb out, but he had to leave Kelly at the bottom of the sink hole. He returned soon with help to rescue the horse, but it was gone. Now oral tradition knows at least three versions of the end of this story, which makes the whole story a bit weird. The realistic version has it, the farmer may have gone back to the wrong hole. The optimistic version tells, the horse was later pulled to safety. And the mysterious end talks about Kelly the horse wandering off into the labyrinth of caves never to be seen again. Its skeleton may still be somewhere in the caves waiting to be discovered. The tourist history of the cave started with the local Harold Bell who explored the caves of the area and soon made the first guided tours with candlelight. He was appointed caretaker of the caves one year after the discovery and wrote a book about the cave the same year. At his time the chambers of the cave were numbered to allow visitors to find their way back. The numbers can still be seen at the ceiling. / The cave contains numerous speleothems, straws, stalactites and stalagmites, but most impressive are the various helictites WARNING / ©2008 Globalphotos All rights reserved. / All photographs, text and images by Globalphotos are the exclusive property of Globalphotos – protected under Australian and international copyright laws. / These images may not be reproduced, copied or manipulated without written permission. / No use for Public Domain. / Use of any image for another photographic concept or illustration is a violation of copyright.

Placed in the Top 10 in the Spread Those Wings Challenge in group “Just Butterflies” in August 2009 / Featured in the group JPG Cast-Offs in July 2009 / Marcella Daggerwing – Marpesia marcella has a distribution from Mexico to Peru. I found this one in a group of at least 12 near a lagoon in the Chicaque Natural Park just outside of Bogotá, Colombia. Although it is found at all elevations from sea level to 2400m, and occurs in deciduous forest and degraded woodland as well as rainforest habitats, Marpesia marcella is primarily a cloudforest species, and is most abundant at elevations of about 1200-2000m. This species is usually encountered as small groups of up to about 6 males, visiting wet sand or mud to imbibe mineral-laden moisture. / / In hot weather they tend to constantly flit from spot to spot, fanning their wings, but occasionally settle for a while and feed while holding their wigs erect. In cooler or shady conditions they feed with wings outspread. (Taken from “Learnaboutbutterflies.com”) / /

A beautiful autumn stoll along South Front Street, Harrisburg. The ivy was beautiful on this old railroad bridge. You can see several of the seven bridges that cross the Susquehanna River. For the first time I tried the Orton Effect which involves layering, brightness, opacity and blurring, and it looks like a dream walk! I also edited out a large garbage can – I was going to physically move it, but didn’t want to touch it…. thank you Photoshop! Photo taken 10/30/09, Harrisburg, PA
