In this watercolour, I copied the locust from a photo, but the background design is my own.

This Lanner Falcon getting a little wet in a summer shower…....... (-: The Lanner Falcon is a native of all of Africa and the southern parts of Italy, Sicily, Greece and Asia Minor. / It is essentially a bird of mountainous terrain except in Africa, where it can also be found in savannahs, plains and deserts. The Lanner Falcon is a fast-flying bird and is well designed for catching birds up to the size of a Guinea Fowl, and bats, especially the larger fruit bats. / When prey of this kind is scarce, ground living mammals and lizards are taken. It will also gorge on locusts and flying termites when they are swarming. The Lanner Falcon has a shrill, piercing, almost screaming voice, similar in content to that of the Peregerine Falcon, but somewhat higher pitched. Much, but not all of the Lanner Falcon’s prey is taken in the air, when the falcon descends to its prey and binds to it with a smack which can be heard some way off. It then carries it off. / Occasionally it will strike its prey in the air and allow it to drop to the ground, collecting it there, but this is less frequent behaviour. / When defending its nesting territory, it will often stoop with tremendous force at an animal it cannot hope to kill, which seems to be, nonetheless, an effective deterrent.

The White Stork is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae, breeding in the warmer parts of Europe (north to Estonia), northwest Africa, and southwest Asia (east to southern Kazakhstan). It is a strong migrant, wintering mainly in tropical Africa, down to the south of South Africa, and also in the Indian subcontinent. Threats to the species include the drainage of wetlands and other agricultural intensification, collisions with overhead power lines, use of persistent pesticides (such as DDT) to combat locusts in Africa, and (largely illegal) hunting on passage and the wintering grounds (HBW). Some birds, known in German as Pfeilstorch (“arrow storks”), have been found in Europe with African arrows embedded in their bodies.

This is the discarded and abandoned exoskeleton of a Cicada. They are sometimes confused with the locusts. Cicada’s are often referred as “dry flies” and “jar flies”. True locusts are a kind of grasshopper. I found this on the tree next to where my hummingbird feeder is hanging. Was waiting as patiently as I could for the hummers to come when I noticed this. I played around with this a little, there are two photos. Made it appear a little less boring I thought :D

Cicada
by Pete JanesWatercolor on Arches 140lb hot press. The cicada, also known as a locust or 17-year locust, is more often heard but not seen. Cicadas are responsible for the buzzing racket on warm summer evenings. This painting is just a small study for a significantly larger work. / Insects are great subjects for studies in reflectivity. i had a lot of fun with the metallic properties of the insect’s skin. /

Fennec Fox Click on Magazines above ! I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to the: “WSPA” The Fennec Fox is a small nocturnal fox found in the north of the Sahara Desert of North Africa which has distinctively large ears. Its name comes from the Arabic fenek, a term for various fur-bearing animals. The Fennec Fox weighs up to 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) with a body length of up to 40 cm (16 in). The tail is an additional 25 cm (10 in) or so, and the ears can be 15 cm (6 in) long. The coats are often a sandy color, allowing them to blend with their desert surroundings. Its characteristic ears serve to dissipate heat and to hear the movement of prey at night. Its ears are sensitive enough to hear large insects, such as beetles and locusts, walk on the sand. Its coat reflects sunlight during the day and conserves heat at night. The soles of its feet are protected from the hot sand by thick fur. The Fennec Fox is a nocturnal omnivore. At night, it hunts rodents, insects, birds, and eggs of birds. Much of the diet is desert vegetation, from which the Fennec Fox gets most of its water. This consists of grasses, some roots, and some fruit and berries.

This photo stands “As Is” straight from the camera! Whilst on Holiday in Jersey, I was sitting in one of the hotel lounges early in the morning, taking advantage of the brief moments I had access to the internet. As I was talking with one of my RB friends, Vikram, I heard a yell come frome one of the rooms close by and then the night porter, just finishing his tour of duty, run by to the room. What he pulled out of the room was a giant grasshopper that had come through the lady’s window during the night and settled himself on her lampshade. The porter gently carried him outside and put him on the rose bush. I told Vikram I would be back soon, ran to get my camera and went out to the rose bush to capture some great macro shots. I like this one best. The grasshopper was very happy to pose for me. When I showed the woman the pictures, she gave a small wince but said it was a good picture, and further noted she would prefer to see a photo of it rather than up close. (lol) What amazes me is the way that these creatures have been designed by God. They blend in so well in the garden and the grassland. They are really beautiful, I think, when you look closer.
