🧟‍♀️ Zombie 🧟‍♂️ Look at this incredible image of a dragonfly that’s fallen victim to a fungal attack. The fungus possibly induced the dragonfly to perch up high & then die, thus helping the fungus spread it’s spores. 📸Photo from South Vietnam, photographers name bottom right.

@Frank_Leppard It is *always* the fault of the individual who drop the litter. How come I’ve never dropped a piece of litter in my life? Because I was raised properly by decent people. Those who litter are low quality humans, no other explanation for it.

Hummingbird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). With up to 70 wing beats per second these fast fliers produce an audible hum. They’re a great moth to watch and admire, but can be hard work to photograph.
