Galah

The galah (Eolophus roseicapilla) is a species of bird in the cockatoo family, Cacatuidae. It is endemic to mainland Australia and is also an introduced species in Tasmania and New Zealand. The galah is adapted to a wide variety of modified and unmodified habitats and is one of Australia's most abundant and widespread bird species, being absent only from the driest areas and the far north of Cape York Peninsula. The galah is often found in flocks of 10 to 1,000 individuals, which can be mixed flocks also including the pink cockatoo, the little corella, and the sulphur-crested cockatoo. It is known to hybridize with all of these species. The galah nests in tree cavities and lays white eggs, usually two to five in a clutch. The eggs are incubated for about 25 days, and the chicks leave the nest about 49 days after hatching. Galahs in captivity have been known to live for up to 72 years. This male galah of the subspecies E. r. albiceps was photographed in the Adelaide Botanic Garden in Adelaide, South Australia.

Poplar hawkmoth

The poplar hawkmoth (Laothoe populi) is a moth in the family Sphingidae. It is found throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East and is one of the most common members of the family in the region. The poplar hawkmoth produces one or two broods each year, the spherical, pale green eggs being laid on the underside of leaves. The larva is initially pale green with small yellow tubercles and a cream-coloured tail horn, later developing yellow diagonal stripes on its sides and growing to a length of 65–85 mm (2.6–3.3 in). It has a diet of tree leaves such as poplar, willow and aspen. The adult poplar hawkmoth is seen between between May and August and lives for a few weeks as an adult. During this time it does not feed, instead relying on fat built up during the larval stage. This male adult poplar hawkmoth was photographed in Cumnor Hill, Oxfordshire, England.
