Rockhopper Penguins

Sender: Qhasami
'R' is for 'Rockhopper' penguins.

Rockhopper Penguins, Falkland Islands.

I have seen them in an aquarium here, they were so cute as they jumped from rock to rock, rather than waddling like other penguins! I loved their straight, bright yellow eyebrows/long yellowish plumes. Very  hip and fashionable!

Hello! What is this?

Kitty is probably wondering what that interesting wet-moving-orange- thing is. And whether it is a toy or food   :-P

Piggy Transport

Sender: Blindweed

If you use Piggy Transport, you must tweak its right ear to go right or left ear to go left. But if you yank instead of tweak and scream while doing it, Piggy Transport will Not Be Responsible for any mishaps.

LOL.

Conehead Katydid

Sender: Monkeyflower

Conehead Katydid, Costa Rica

I made a mistake thinking this is the head of a praying mantis. It is actually a katydid. I am sure I have seen them here but the pictured one is a Conehead Katydid from Costa Rica. 

Hmm...katydid....suddenly it brought to my mind the storybooks I read as a child: "What Katy Did", "What Katy Did At School", "What Katy Did Next"...  :-D

"These green bugs vaguely resemble grasshoppers with extremely long and skinny legs. They also come in many different shapes, colours or sizes. They are gentle creatures who, with a minimum amount of care, can be kept as a interesting pet."

Since they are small insects, I don't mind them. But not if they are big monsters. Imagine facing a monster-sized head like this! Stuff of horror movies! (Insert applicable shriek here).
