A few nice about animals images I found:
Common Kestrel

Common Kestrels measure 32–39 cm (13-15 in) from head to tail, with a wingspan of 65–82 cm (26-32 in). Females are noticeably larger, with the adult male weighing 136-252 g (c,5-9 oz), around 155 g (around 5.5 oz) on average; the adult female weighs 154-314 g (about 5.5-11 oz), around 184 g (around 6.5 oz) on average. They are thus small compared with other birds of prey, but larger than most songbirds. Like the other Falco species, they have long wings as well as a distinctive long tail.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most hawks, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having less black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All Common Kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.[
Caterpillar pills

Imperial Moth eggs about to hatch. At this point you can see that each egg contains a tiny caterpillar neatly rolled up (the big black spot is the head).
These were photographed against a scale of millimetres; the two short parallel lines at the right bottom angle of the photo are 1 mm apart. So the eggies probably measure 3 × 2.5 mm (0.11 × 0.09 in), more or less.
Freshly laid eggs are greenish, opaque, with a pearly sheen, and are expelled together with a sort of glue that dries up on the spot, attaching them to any surface they happen to touch.

Huevos de polillón Eacles imperialis a punto de eclosionar. En este punto del desarrollo se puede ver que cada huevo contiene una oruguita prolijamente enrollada sobre sí misma (la mancha negra grande es la cabeza).
La foto se sacó sobre una regla milimetrada; las dos rayitas negras paralelas del ángulo inferior derecho de la foto marcan 1 mm, así que los huevitos deberían medir unos 3 × 2,5 mm, más o menos.
Los huevos recién puestos son opacos, verdosos, con un brillo perlado, y la mariposa los pone junto con una especie de pegamento que se seca al segundo, pegando los huevitos a cualquier superficie que toquen.

I'm not sure what she was looking for in the facet, but she stayed inside for about a minute.
I think this is a carpenter bee.
