I almost didn’t see mine, as it looked to be just another scraggly vine, tangled amongst the rest. Then I realized that what I at first perceived as immature leaves were in fact much more. Meet Dalechampia scandens!

I think just water tem and water chemistry need to be good, but that’s about it. I don’t know anything about plants xD

Saw my first Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa) yesterday. That was a particularly good one. No photos, but I will try to see another and get it.

Gray necked bunting, definitely! A very unexpected lifer, and I only managed to get a record shot of it.

Very excited to find this little brown beetle. Ericmodes australis. This is only the 8th observation for the entire family Protocucujidae in Australia and 28th observation in the world. https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/333403999

This appears to be my first Hypnalis, though I have some moss observations that are identified just as moss. It’s identified as Bryoandersonia by CV; I don’t know much about mosses.
Maybe someday I’ll go back to Charlotte and observe the moss that Tweetsie specified, if it’s still there.

This week it is this giant Vietnamese centipede from Dalat, Vietnam. Still not fully grown, it was 6 inches, 15 cm in total size. In the town of Dalat, it bit a woman and she spent more than a day in the hospital. I rescued it and set it free in the forest where it wouldn’t be a problem to anyone and they wouldn’t be a problem to it.

Yesterday, after watching the Three Kings Parade (it’s the three kings that bring the Christmas presents here in Spain) I got a special gift. I think it’s Apochima flabellaria, because it seems to be the only moth that holds its wings like that, but it has not been confirmed yet. There are only 6 observations in Spain (including mine).

That would be my favorite lifer of a lifetime, not just of the week!
And such wonderful photos, too!

Thank you! It was trotting along the road, so we stopped, and it went right by us!
