Fallow Deer (Dama dama) (Mammals) Dådyr (dk) Gama Común (es) Dovhjort (se) 2024-11-05 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Adult. ♂. Invasive species of course. Deliberately introduced by the area managers because their main focus in relation to nature and wild life management always is pointing toward profits and hunting desires. In times where all types of invasive species are being erradicated fiercefully of course all individuals of these non-native deers should be shot once and for all to support the [naive and idiotic] vision about a clean ecosystem only including the species that originally belonged here... |

Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) (Mammals) Ræv (dk) Zorro Rojo (es) 2024-08-26 Lergravene (St Magleby), Denmark Adult. Me against the sun it didn't see me while being interested in something in the grass. But without any hunting attempts it slowly moved on and disappeared into the bushes. With an eradication program going on on the island, it is not often you are allowed such a fine encounter. Without stress or fear, and I grate every such moment among my overeager fellow humans who constantly have to act and control everything on their way. |

Bagstien. Saw three at different places today. Taking advantage of the sun where it would otherwise be in hiding for the next season to arrive. |

Acleris notana (Acleris notana) (Butterflies) 2024-11-06 Vinkelhuse (Tårnby), Denmark Imago. A home visitor, but brought in hidden in Curly Kale from the garden. There are several species in this genus that are very similar, and without having asked for id advice, I might leave it as an sp. species, but Kim Vognsen has a very similar looking animal on naturbasen, why I dare my luck. The other most likely candidate is Acleris ferrugana. |

Small funny creatures in this 4th larval stage. which is the only stage where it is easy to separate from other species. |

Rusty Tussock Moth (Orgyia antiqua) (Butterflies) Lille Penselspinder (dk) Aprikostofsspinnare (se) 2024-08-30 Bygholmparken (Horsens), Denmark Larva. Just one seen. I think some individuals have more yellow tussocks than seen here, saying this even though the Swedish name matches this animal very well. |

Antler Moth (Cerapteryx graminis) (Butterflies) Mosebunkeugle (dk) Gaffelgräsfly (se) 2024-08-19 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago. ♂. Barbarus-renden. The grassland. A new species for me, happily welcomed with size and accessibility just as I prefer it. Having given up on butterflies this year, especially the micro moths, I daily ignore many animals that might be of interest, but it's simply taking too much time to get a proper hold on them, when dragonflies are in focus. But this one was unavoidable and strikingly good looking, why I'm happy...repetition. |

The only one I saw this year. Last year's many individuals seen in my mother's garden were completely absent - as were almost all butterflies for that matter. [Why?] |

White Admiral (Limenitis camilla) (Butterflies) Hvid Admiral (dk) Ninfa del Bosque (es) Tryfjäril (se) 2024-08-01 Kongelundsområdet, Denmark Imago. Midtsti øst. I've done little about the butterflies this season, concentrating on dragonflies - but this worn, but still fascinating, camilla was difficult to ignore. |

På skyggen af Linda Kjær-Thomsens kasket. Fortsat et smukt dyr, men lige en snert for belastende for mennesker, som ikke bryder sig om nærgående bidemærker. |

*Hvidkløversnudebille* (Apion fulvipes) (Other insects and Spiders) Hvidkløversnudebille (dk) 2024-07-28 Vinkelhuse (Tårnby), Denmark Imago. Skrivebordet. The dark part on the legs might be more than what is normally seen on the species, at least compared to photos on naturbasen, but I can't see which species it should be other than this. |

Common White Wave (Cabera pusaria) (Butterflies) Snehvid Stregmåler (dk) Snövit Streckmätare (se) 2024-07-25 Amager Fælled, Denmark Imago. If you sit there with a feeling that this animal is perhaps not the species I've decided to identify it as, then...you might be right. A Cabera species we can probably agree on, but if you argue that it is a pale exanthemata, I'm not the one to know the difference! |

Bedstraw Hawk-Moth (Hyles gallii) (Butterflies) Snerresværmer (dk) Brunsprötad Skymningssvärmare (se) 2024-07-20 Bøtø-skoven, Denmark Imago. Diget. Flushed by two guys, just as I was passing them in the other direction looking for a female Sooty Copper [Sort Ildfugl]. So I got this large moth as a new impressive species. I think it is more impressive than rare, but when seeing something big like this (10cm?) you always think it must be something unusual. But they are nocturnal, and there are several others of these sphinx Moths [Aftensværmere] that are equally magnificent. |

*Purpurmåler* (Lythria cruentaria) (Butterflies) Purpurmåler (dk) Mindre Purpurmätare (se) 2024-07-15 Bøtø-skoven, Denmark Imago. ♂. Diget. Brown. A fresh individual and one of the unusual ones without color or pattern on the forewings. You can see a weak shadow of the purple band that usually runs across the wing, but nothing more. Comments on naturbasen.dk indicate that it is a well-known form, brown, but there is only one photo among 300 showing such an animal, and on the German Lepiforum.de a single animal there too. |

But still good patches with grass in between. |

Water Soldiers (Stratiotes aloides) (Plants) Krebseklo (dk) Vattenaloe (se) 2024-07-06 Krebseklo-vandhullet/kirkegård (Hørsholm), Denmark Krebseklo-vandhullet. Ok, I took similar photos two years ago, but then you know: They are still here. The preferred plant for egg-incision of the Green Hawker (Aeshna viridis) [Grøn Mosaikguldsmed], but you can't just assume that all larger exuvias (the skin left behind by the emerging dragonfly) found on the plant are of the this species since other hawkers use them too, for example Migrant Hawker (Aeshna mixta) [Efterårsmosaikguldsmed] and Blue Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) [Blå Mosaikguldsmed]. The plant seems to be spreading, helped on its way by increasing horticultural activities. There is a pond in the nearby cemetery too where both Water Soldiers and the Green Hawker are present. |

Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus) (Plants) Kalmus (dk) Cálamo Aromático (es) Kalmus (se) 2024-06-29 Amager Fælled, Denmark A rather common plant in ponds in our area. It looks superficially like Water-soldier [Krebseklo] but emerges from the water in a single point and has longer leaves but without the thorny edges - has instead a wrinkled appearance in parts of the leaves. Should be emitting a pleasant fragrance, for which the plant has been used back to the Ancient Egyptians, but I haven't been able to confirm this yet. It probably has to come from the flowers, and since they often stand in water it is difficult to approach close enough. |
