She and two of her sisters are for sale but this can wait. I won't breed this year.

Listen to music, catch some rays, paint my never ending painting. 🎶🌞🎨 I've been working on this image since February 2017. It's still not finished. The meaning of this painting is about freedom. The title is "Terrarium Snake and Monarch Butterfly".
It started as training. That's my first tempera painting. Usually I decide to finish my work at some point. I imagined the picture and myself growing together. In the meantime I have freed myself from the idea of having to finish it at all.

Sometimes in the Bommersheimer field, when the sun goes down, the fredociraptors can be seen feeding. There aren't many farmers specialised in free range farming. It's also not recommended!

The Islas Ballestas are a group of small islands. They are part of a nature reserve and home to numerous animal species. It was cool and a bit foggy, which are the best prepositions to see all the animals. For example, sea lions! When it gets hot during the day, they disappear in the ocean.

The Whale Thing. One of my drawings from 2010. I made countless sketches and drawings back then. I didn't think much about it either. Maybe you also shouldn't. Drawing helped a lot when I was feeling sick. This drawing was created very intuitively. I just put the pen on and let me drift. The resulting forms awakened associations, which I then expanded. I didn't invest more than 5 minutes in total.

The Sumatran tiger is the only surviving tiger population in the Sunda Islands, where the Bali and Javan tigers already extinct. The species is listed as "Critical Endangered" on the Red List. Zoos like the Frankfurt Zoological Garden try to breed them. The success is very important for the preservation. Since 2017, there is a new male. But he doesn't harmonize with the female. Therefore, it's necessary to exchange with other zoos to preserve this rare animal.

Only adult males are predatory on other insects. Before mating, the male catches a prey to present as a gift to the female. In this case, a robber fly. Only then the mating takes place.

I haven't seen many animals on my way from Hidroeléctrica to Aguas Calientes. It already was dusk when I almost reached my destination. That's the time of owl butterflies! They are pretty large (65 - 200 mm). The name comes from those eye spots on their wings. Do you know the purpose of those spots?

Looking out of my terrarium together with Loki. She's a daughter of Arsinoë and King Leopold. I kept her because of her special nature. ❤
