I forgot to upload a new photograph this morning so I had to rifle through my old stuff to find something that I hadn't posted before. This is a male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), photographed at the Philadelphia zoo in February 2007.

One of the many millipedes I saw on yesterday's hike in New York. (I think it belongs to the genus Apheloria, although I'm not sure of the species).

Phobia
Joshua Hoffine
Joshua Hoffine's tongue-in-cheek riffs on Hollywood horror archetypes are the perfect post for Friday the 13th - a Friday which also happens to be the Ides of June. Beware!
According to Hoffine's website,
I stage my photo shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines, and special effects make-up. . . My images are not photoshop collages. . . I use friends and family members as actors and crew. Everyone works for free. We do it for fun.
Staging scenes from imagined horror films is a pretty imaginative way to bond as a family, isn't it?…

zooillogix | June 9, 2008Time once again for some of Igor Siwanowicz's spectacular insect photography. We've brought you his mantis photos in the past (#1 , #2, and #3) so we decided to switch it up and take a look at some of his moths. Unfortunately Igor doesn't tell us which species we are looking at, but maybe some of our entomologically inclined readers will chime in.
more below the fold
This last one might be a butterfly, but that's a killer proboscis...
