Another endangered butterfly, the Macedonian Grayling...
plus the first render from my second volume of snakes-- in this image, the Eyelash pit viper (the pose and branch will be included in the set).
This species is endemic to Columbia in South America. It has adapted to a nearly completely arboreal lifestyle, possessing a strong, prehensile tail with which it secures itself around tree limbs, often coiled into a tight bundle during the day, as the species is primarily nocturnal. After dark, the eyelash viper awakens and awaits the presence of small, tree-dwelling animals that may cross its path such as rodents, bats, tree frogs, birds and lizards (anoles, geckos, and juvenile iguanas).
The eyelash viper is not known to be an aggressive snake towards humans, and is likely to be avoidant of creatures larger than itself, but will not hesitate to strike if repeatedly harassed. Snakebites inflicted on humans are characterized by pain, edema, and ecchymosis at the site of the bite, rarely with blisters, local necrosis, or defibrination. In some cases, systemic alterations such as coagulopathy and acute renal failure have been reported.
