As the town celebrated the festive season on 20th December 2022, a lone figure was battling the elements, left out in the freezing cold. The snowstorm threatened to snuff out her last bit of hope, but it was said that miracles happened during Christmas, and everyone held onto that glimmer of hope.

Emmy, a pit mix who had been severely neglected, was discovered huddled on the street during a blizzard in Ecorse, Michigan, when the temperature was about two degrees Fahrenheit with 30 mph winds, and her brown fur was covered in snow. Fortunately, some local residents spotted her and alerted the Friends of River Rouge Animal Shelter. Once the organization was informed, Patty rushed to the scene and found the emaciated dog barely clinging to life.

Patty wasted no time and immediately took to social media to seek help for Emmy. The PAWS Clinic, a local spay-neuter clinic, recommended transferring the poor pup to the vet for medical attention. Without hesitation, Patty rushed her to the Pet Care Clinic Lincoln Park where a team of veterinarians assessed Emmy’s condition. Given her malnourished state, low weight, and flea infestation, as well as pressure sores on her joints, they recommended transporting her to an emergency vet clinic right away.

Henceforth, P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue, with whom Patty was affiliated, took over the responsibility for Emmy’s care. The team then brought the pup to the emergency clinic where she received treatment to raise her body temperature. Based on her condition and estimated age of 8-9, it appeared that Emmy had a difficult past with her previous owners.

Boesen arrived to pick up the pit mix girl on Christmas morning, and to her surprise, despite Emmy’s difficult past and health condition, she was sweet and friendly. The furry pup greeted Boesen with a wagging tail and even sought attention by making cute noises.

After being rescued from the snowstorm where she was dumped from a car, Emmy found a warm and comfortable foster home, where she spent a happy holiday season with other rescued pets. Despite the hardships she had faced, she enjoyed snuggling on couches, being wrapped in fuzzy blankets, and lying near the heater under the Christmas tree. Now, she is patiently waiting for her forever family to adopt her and give her the loving home she deserves.

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects
![These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/These-Pics-Are-Art-and-the-Artists-Are-Insects.jpg)
Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.
For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.
With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.
1. Zebra longwing
This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug
This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth
Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths
These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly
Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings
Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle
This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper
Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange
This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing
Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer
![Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer](http://beginandbegin.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Eagle-and-Fox-in-an-Epic-Midair-Battle-Over-a-Rabbit-Were-Captured-by-a-Photographer.jpg)
Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.
That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.
In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.
Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”
To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.
The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
