Photograph - This is a photograph of the fruiting body of a coral fungus of the genus Ramaria>. It was growing on a forest floor in Athabasca, Alberta. Although coral fungi do not resemble typical mushrooms, they are basidiomycetes.
Photograph - Most moths are nocturnal. This tiger moth is unusual in that it is active during the day. It is very conspicuous, especially with the two orange hair tufts just behind its head. It is also a poor flyer. These features may seem to make it very vulnerable to predators but it has defensive chemicals in its body that deter would-be attackers
