  • The Ibex says: Catch Me If You Can! Young female Ibex on the fork of Disteis (2,200 m), near the top of the Jof di Montasio (Friuli, Italy). The photo was taken leaning on the crest of the saddle: these beautiful animals had fun running on the edge of the ledges ... Alpine Ibex,Capra ibex,Geotagged,Italy,ibex,mountain goat

  • Hell's Door On December 28th, 2014, Mount Etna produced a so violent as brief eruption with emission of lava and ash. 
The high-altitude clouds mixed with ash cloud have created a unique show of its kind. Geotagged,Italy,Natural events,Winter,ash,clous,eruption,etna,flames,hell,lava,sky

  • Heteropteryx dilatata Young male of Heteropteryx dilatata, a species commonly known as Jungle Nymph, lives in Malaysia in nature, has wings, can fly and its body is covered with small spines. The bright green female is the heaviest stick insect in nature. The development of this phasmid species is very slow and they can live for more than two years from birth.

  • Barrel Jellyfish There were quite a number of these off the Italian coast of Apulia on a day when we went boating off the coast of Gargano NP. Too many to actually get in the water with them - so this was taken from the bow. Apulia,Barrel jellyfish,Gargano NP,Geotagged,Italy,Rhizostoma pulmo,Summer

  • Pulsatilla montana duo This beautiful flower seems to live two lives. In early spring it is one of the first flowers to come out and is strikingly beautiful. Then in summer it turns into this messy hair mode that looks more like a rock star! Photographed in Dolomites, Italy. Geotagged,Italy,Pasque flower,Pulsatilla montana

  • Ibex Family A female ibex with three cubs from last season. I photographed them at Pecol mountain pasture where they often come down to graze. The grass is always greener on the other side - for them and for me (I had to go across the border to Italy :)).

  • Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) Not a species seen in England,very much, but luckily both Rome and Pontecorvo in Italy had plenty on offer.

And entertaining they were too.

Surprisingly, they were only classified as a separate species in 2002.

  • Geranium Bronze (Cacyreus marshalli) This was a lesson in 'never taking for granted what you're seeing'.

When I saw this butterfly in my sister's garden in Italy last year, I nonchalantly assumed it was a Long-tailed Blue, of which I already had photos and footage, so I didn't really take sufficient care with the few snaps I took.

It was only this summer I realised, this was a different butterfly altogether. What a silly billy.

Luckily, I shot a video, so full details of this cute little thing can be accessed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC3VAkbWHuo Cacyreus marshalli,Geotagged,Geranium Bronze,Italy,Summer

  • Lightbulb Tunicate - Clavelina dellavallei In properly labeling species I have from other trips in my Flickr I jumped into this tunicate that we saw during a dive in Ustica, Italy  (2010). I have some spottings from that trip in JungleDragon but it seems I don't have this one, at least I can't find it by googling my username and Italy or unidentified. So I guess I did not add it at the time because I had no ID for it and now I do so there it is, one new mediterranean tunicate species :-) Clavelina dellavallei,Geotagged,Italy,Light Bulb Tunicate,Spring
