Hi everyone,

I just returned from a trip to Germany and lake Constance with lots of photos.

I'd like to share some with you:

All great CD, especially #1. But, what in the name of a yellow bellied sapsucker is #2 :?

Hi Chris,

the saucer (actually where I come from I'd say breakfast plate size) size moth I believe is an Atlas Moth.

Cheers,
CD

Christian,

You're saying that it has a wingspan of about 5 inches?


The third one is a great capture.

Hi Gary,

the moth would be close to a wingspan of 20cm and the volture has a wingspan of 2.7 meters :shock:

Cheers,
