A new addition...
We have a new pair of geese already lurking about the coop!
We named them Gwen, after the mother goose from the movie "Charlottes Web", and Blue, because of his very blue eyes!!
Very beautiful creatures!
Hopefully they´ll have some goslings this Spring!

The Death´s Headhawk Moth!
The weeks passed and 1 of the Moth´s emerged!:
The wings are still not ready for flight..
The skeleton is clear on it´s back.
Resembles a bee, but much bigger and bigger horns and legs!
The Moth makes such a skeaky noise if it feels treatened and also skwirted out this liquid from it´s lower area twice in diferent times that I didn´s expect at all!
Such an interesting creature!

Hungry No More - Put an End to Famine
Drought my be an act of nature, but famine is not. The current crisis in the Horn of Africa is a man-made disaster that could have been avoided. But we don't have the necessary political will to stop the starving - and its causes. As a consequence, millions are affected and tens of thousands of children have died.
Communities in Africa can cope with droughts and natural disasters. But we need leaders to invest in early warning systems and safety net programmes to help people become resilient to these hazards. And we need donors to put resources toward better seeds, irrigation and sustainable farming education. By acting now, we can help 200 million people from poor farming families grow more food and raise their incomes.
When world leaders meet at the Group of 20 (G20) Summit in November, they have the opportunity to break the cycle of famine. Ask your leaders to keep the promises they made to the 2 billion poor people who depend on farming for their livelihoods.

Deaths Head Hawk Moth Caterpillar
These beautiful beasts are eating away the apple tree leaves in Sanguinho (work).
I have them now in captivity in pupa stage to observe them as moths as they come out and let them free. :)
