A Wallcreeper in flight, with its outstretched wings looking like a gorgeous butterfly.

The Wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria) is a small passerine bird found throughout the high mountains of the Palearctic from southern Europe to central China. They are usually found on rock faces and can be difficult to spot in their black and blue-grey plumage with their wings folded.
But in flight, they are one of the most spectacular sight. Mostly hidden when the bird is at rest, its outstretched wings reveal a striking crimson red pattern with white dots, creating a stunning contrast and making it appear like a giant colorful butterfly.

Korean artist, An Jung-Hwan, creates incredibly realistic paintings of nature depicting lush forests, serene meadows, and rugged mountains. These portrayals of nature are so meticulously detailed and life-like that you would need to take a double look, just to make sure it's not a high-resolution photo. This degree of hyperrealism can take him numerous weeks and countless hours working on just a single painting.

The Golden tortoise beetle (Charidotella sexpuncta

The Golden tortoise beetle (Charidotella sexpunctata).

It is a species of beetle in the leaf beetle family, Chrysomelidae and is widely distributed in eastern North America, west to about Iowa and Texas. It is fairly small, measuring 5 – 7 mm in length. This beetle varies in color, from reddish-brown with black spots to a golden metallic, hence sometimes called "goldbugs."
The color changes through its development, during mating and when it is touched or disturbed. It even happens to play dead if bothered. The Golden tortoise beetle consumes foliage of plants in the family Convolvulaceae, including bindweeds, morning glory and sweet potato.

The Rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros) is a large species of forest hornbill (Bucerotidae) found in the forests of peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand, and the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo.

This large bird measures 80 to 90 cm (31–35 in) long and the plumage is predominately black, with white legs and vent, and white tail feathers. This species of hornbill has a huge bill with a prominent golden-yellow horn called a casque, on the top of it. Its color comes from preen oil rubbed on from the preen gland above the tail. The casque is a hollow structure composed of keratin (the same material as human fingernails) and acts as a resonating chamber, amplifying the bird’s calls.

A lightning bolt as seen from above the clouds.

Pilot and photographer Santiago Borja, known as “The Storm Pilot”, has captured the phenomenal moment lightning struck in the Andes mountain range in Ecuador during a late-summer storm. He was flying toward the storm when he managed to get the shot from a unique angle - from the cockpit of his airplane. The jagged lightning bolt appeared to extend all the way from the cloud to the ground.

However, he doesn’t take photos when he’s manning the plane but mostly during his commute - his fellow pilots let him sit in the observer’s seat and capture the wild weather outside the window. Despite these fantastic shots, Borja and his crew never fly the plane near or above the storm to keep everyone on board safe. Long lenses for the camera do the trick for his amazing shots just fine.

If you're having a bad hair day, just think that maybe some others have it worst than you! 😄
An Arctic fox in the process of shedding its thick winter coat.

This wonderful photo was captured by photographer Kevin Morgans and was awarded as Runner Up for the Nature Photographer Of The Year 2018. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) is a small fox native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Its thick, beautiful white (sometimes blue-gray) warm fur also acts as a very effective winter camouflage among the tundra's snow and ice. The fox generally compact body shape, short muzzle and legs, and short, thick ears help in preserving its body heat.

The arctic fox can withstand extremely frigid temperatures and will only start to shiver until the temperature drops to −70 °C (−94 °F). In fact, its dense, multilayered pelage provides the best insulation of any mammal and it is also the only canid with furry soles. When the seasons change, the fox's coat turns brown or gray in appearance that allows it to blend in with the rocks and plants surroundings during summer.

An adult female of the Thistle mantis (Blepharopsis mendica).

Blepharopsis mendica, commonly known as the Thistle mantis, is a species of praying mantis from North Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia and the Canary Islands. They are creamy-white to beige with light green stripes and light green “veins” on the wings as adults. This species grows to about 5 to 6 cm, with little difference in size between the sexes. Males are more slender with slightly longer wings while females are bulkier with a wider prothorax.

During the deimatic display, the adult rotates its head and thorax to one side and slightly spreads its wings, revealing the bright colours on the insides of its forelegs and the undersides of its hindwings, making it appear larger and more intimidating. Its coloration allows it to perfectly mimic leaves, spiny or dry bushes, and vegetation in deserts.

The Silky anteater, in an impressive "Van Damme" pose, all thanks to its long claws 😃

The Silky anteater (Cyclopes didactylus), also known as the Pygmy anteater, is the smallest of all known anteaters and found in southern Mexico, and Central and South America. Adults reach a total length of 36 to 45 cm (14 to 18 in), including a tail of 17 to 24 cm (6.7 to 9.4 in) long.

There are two clawed toes on each forefoot while the hind feet have four toes of equal length, each with long claws also. The scientific name which translates roughly as "two-toed circle-foot", refers to these long claws and the ability of the small mammal to almost encircle a branch to which it is clinging. Heel pads present on the feet also enable the animal to grip small branches as it travels through the forest canopy along lianas and other vines. The Silky anteater can be difficult to spot as it is nocturnal, and also due to its silky, yellowish coat that helps it to camouflage among the fibrous seed masses produced by the silk-cotton tree.
