Venezuelan poodle moth and others - Life Lines. I was browsing through The Scientist and came across this image of a Venezuelan poodle moth that I could not resist sharing: Image by: Arthur Anker on flickr What is interesting about this particular moth is that scientists are currently trying to figure out exactly what type of moth it is (its phylogeny). Needless to say, the image of this fluffy moth has gone viral. The flickr website by Dr. Arthur Anker, a Zoologist, contains photos of numerous other beautiful butterflies and moths. Other favorites: Leucanella maasseni, which looks like it could be related to batman (from this view at least): Image by Arthur Anker on flickr Lymantria alexandrae (Lymantriidae), just look at those antennae: Lymantria alexandrae (Lymantriidae) moth, image by Arthur Anker on flickr.

Echidnas are known better as spiny anteaters, although they are not related to them, besides that fact that both anteaters and echidnas eat ants and termites. The echidna is found in parts of New Guinea and Australia. The echidna has a long tongue around 18cm long that can whip in and out of its mouth at incredible speeds. This helps the echidna to forage for ants an termites. The echidna was named after a monster in Greek mythology!

The echidna can dig incredibly well due to its long claws, meaning that echidna are able to escape danger by digging straight down. The echidna is a small mammal and the echidna has a long snout that acts as both the mouth and nose of the echidna. The echidna is a very special mammal and, along with the platypus, the echidna is the only other egg-laying mammal in the world. Echidna Comments (20) Post Comment Article Tools.

When nature's beautiful inhabitants meet the skillful hand of a professional photographer Animal photography poses a unique challenge even for highly skilled photographers.
