It is a late instar larva of Antheraea polyphemus.

Happy #MothMonday from this awesome Sweet Bay Silk Moth ,Callosamia securifera, who visited a few Summers back! #MacroPhotography #MacroMonday #Moths #Nature #Awe and #Wonder #AltText #ECK
A photo of an adorable chonky orange and yellow Sweet Bay Silk Moth from the front as it rests on a brown pine needle.  The moth's legs, and body is covered in fluffy fur-like rust orange scales.  Its thick forelegs are mostly clustered around the front.  One dark eye is visible, the other lost in shadow, the yellow feathery antennae peeking out from above. Its large wings are held partly open behind it and a small yellowish leafhopper is hitching a ride on the leading edge of the moth's left wing .

Good morning Let’s celebrate #TheDivers for #BirdOfTheDay today 🪶 Share your fab photos of any diving bird... I’ll start with this adorable Little Grebe🤎 📷 Alt theme: #BirdStare Any bird captured staring right back at you! Happy Thursday everyone! 😊🕊️👋 #Birds #UKWildlife #Photography #ECK
A close-up photo of a Little Grebe swimming peacefully on calm, murky green water.  The bird is positioned in the centre of the frame, facing towards the left as viewed, and is captured from a slightly elevated side profile. Its compact, rounded body sits low in the water, and its damp, textured feathers are intricately detailed with tiny droplets of water.  The bird's plumage is a soft gradient of brownish-grey tones.  Its cheeks and throat are a lighter, warm buff-cream colour with a dark eye and a relatively short, pointed, dark bill with a touch of pale yellow/orange at the base and tip. The water surrounding the bird is a muted, brownish-green shade with gentle ripples radiating outward from its body and a soft reflection its head.

A photo of the top of the head of a VERY fluffy white moth.  The moth's 2 front legs are mostly covered in fluffy, white, hair-like scales.  The moth's slender antennae are yellow and feathery, emerging from the fluffy head just above the dark eyes which one is visible on the left.  The moth's head is covered in the same fluffy white scales as the front legs.  The second pair of legs just visible on the lower sides of the frame are black and slender, with small bands of white just visible.

Blue Jays are some of the best clients at my little bird spa. The level of contentment on display here is kind of ridiculous #birds
Very floofy Blue Jay (a blue and white and black and grey bird) is soaking in a shallow bird bath with soft focus shrubbery in the background. It's bright blue crest is very pointy and the bird is in quarter profile, looking coyly at the viewer. The comfort and satisfaction is evident.
