10-spot ladybird
The 10-spot ladybird (Adalia decempunctata) is a species in the genus Adalia. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is found across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and 2 other countries, inhabiting diverse terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Cona Paa Frog
<em>Nanorana conaensis</em>, commonly known as the Cona Paa Frog, is a small amphibian in the family Dicroglossidae, a diverse group of frogs distributed across South and East Asia. The genus Nanorana is characteristic of high-elevation Himalayan and Tibetan Plateau habitats, and <em>Nanorana conaensis</em> is presumed to occur in the Cona region of southeastern Tibet, China, where it likely inhabits cold freshwater streams, moist alpine meadows, and the margins of wetlands at considerable elevation. Like other paa frogs, it is presumed to be a generalist carnivore, typically consuming invertebrates such as insects, worms, and small crustaceans detected by sight near water. The species is currently classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN, reflecting the limited biological and distributional information available. Geographic range boundaries, population size, and population trend data remain unconfirmed, partly due to the remote and politically restricted nature of its presumed habitat on the Tibetan Plateau. Biological traits including average body size, lifespan, reproductive seasonality, and clutch size remain poorly documented in the primary scientific literature. Conservation threats potentially include habitat degradation from infrastructure development, climate-driven changes to alpine hydrology, and human disturbance in high-altitude wetland ecosystems.
