Description

Today the last shot of the little rhino-session. After meeting the woman the guy think about flying away... He strolls around and found some material to build his own flight-machine. I hold him back and set the couple free together on the cemetery. By the way, a little story from the last weekend: Some of you could sure remember my last year image of the Smerinthus burying themselves.

The last 10 larvae I gave to my niece and she fed them some days as I went on vacation in the heath. One of the 10 fled and we don't find her. On last Saturday I tried to plant a little tree and grubbed a hole in the garden. You will understand my stunner as I took out the first scoopful of dirt and found the pupa. I lay her to the others and hope the hawk-moth will hatch the next weeks. I hope you understand my little story and wish you all a great week. Tomorrow I will show you another little critter I found crawling through the fields. Edit: After posting I read the mails and found my first rhino-shot selected for the LWitG-Forum. Thank you all a lot - it's a big honour for me.
