Baby Gentoo penguin moulting, Antarctica Feb 2008
This image was taken on South Georgia and shows a juvenile King Penguin going through the final stages of the moult. More images are available on my website www.wildsnaps.com
this is a fallen primary flight from one of my racing pigeons … yip that time of year again where they are casting (moulting) their old feathers for new ones …
While others have to work at it. This little bird is perfectly healthy—it’s just moulting, changing its feathers. If you look at the corners of his beak you’ll see a little yellow curve—that yellow says he’s still a baby. He’s changing from baby fluff into adult feathering. I sure love birds.
A group of not yet adult male elephant seals (probably around two years old). They have hauled out on Macquarie Island, while they moult their skins. These beasts were slaughtered for their fat content and almost eliminated last century. Thanks to strict Australian conservation requirements, they are now gaining in numbers.

For Immediate Release Monday March 09,2009 / Las Vegas Nevada Vegas Vision Studios model Sidney Weite infected with previously un-discovered mutating body paint virus that is rapidly turning the once aspiring model into what appears to be a large form of a Coral Snake. VVS Head Makeup Artist Debra Weite says that the infection first appeared under the models chin and looked to be a minor rash. Within a matter of hours the virus had taken over better then half of the girls body and it was feared that extreme measures would be required to prevent the virus from spreading throughout her body and completely mutating the girl into a reptilian form. Bobby Deal VVS President and photographer is quoted as saying “In all my years of working with models I have never seen such an invasive and radical transformation of a model. In a mere two hours this girl has gone from promising young prospect to a venomous viper. At this point I am unsure what we can do to save her. The Center for Body Paint Transformation Control was called in late Sunday night to assess the situation and determined that the best course of action that they could take was to call in the noted body paint virus defender Pink Samurai Leopard to fight the reptilian beast. The staff of VVS managed to transmit the following images of the infected model as well as an image of the infected subject locked in mortal combat with Pink Leopard which shall appear in mulitple locations across the Redbubble Network. Shortly after this communication was received all contact with VVS was suddenly lost. Communications experts are working frantically to try and restore communication with the Las Vegas studio complex as the world waits to see the out come of this epic battle. # Nikon D300 / 18-200 VR
This believe it or not, after much research appears to be a Ladybird/Ladybug that has moulted it’s hard outer casing shell! It is miniscule about 6-7mm in length. I have many more pictures of them too. Coccinellidae Some great larva and pupa shots at Austinbug Taken at Ravenshoe, Far Nth Queensland, Australia!
This jetty is located at Moulting Bay, just outside St Helens on the way to the campground. In the afternoons it has cormorants sitting on it, which would make a cool image, I think, (just didn’t get there at the right time for that one:-() Taken with a Panasonic FZ-18 For more beautiful images of Tasmania please visit RT Gallery
Well, you find these things if you look hard enough – and look hard I do! / This is a Ladybird with no shell because it has moulted it off…it rained and now it has a big bubble on it’s butt, quite an odd sight, a naked lady with a bubble butt. I have many images of Ladybirds in all stages and many like this, having their shell mounted off. Here’s one called Top Hat & Tail.. / Ravenshoe, Far Nth Queensland, Australia, taken with Canon PowerShot A480
Here is an unusual shot, it is a ladybird of the Harmonia testudinaria variety, I call her Harmony, drying her wings, I rescued her out of my pool, which was odd because I had photographed Harmony the day before…so she must have decided to cool off after that and I rescued her from the water, so she proceeds to dry her wings and this is interesting to me because I have been studying up on Ladybirds that have moulted…PLEASE CLICK HERE to see some NAKED LADY IMAGES I’ll add some better ones too showing the lines on the orange bodies.. As you can see after looking at those pics is the ladybirds body under the shell is the same. I had really been wanting a shot of the body of the ladybird with her shell open so I could see it and here it is….a great image, looking like she is some sort of new VW Wing Door Model… / CSIRO Ladybird Website – Click on Gallery for ID Section Taken with Canon PowerShot A480 at Ravenshoe, Far Nth Queensland, Australia

Its only a short pier ;-) This jetty is located at Moulting Bay on the road to Binalong Bay, on the east coast of Tasmania. At some times of the day you can see cormorants and other birds resting along the rail. Gorgeous sight. Taken with a Panasonic FZ-18 For more beautiful images of Tasmania please visit RT Gallery
