Habitat & Geographic Range
2-spot ladybird
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate coniferous forests spanning the Indomalayan and Oceanian and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Asia (Japan), Europe (4 countries), North America (Canada, United States), and South America (Chile). Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Common Thin-toed Frog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Found in Venezuela.
2-spot ladybird
The 2-spot ladybird (Adalia bipunctata) is a species in the genus Adalia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is found across Belgium, Canada, Chile, and 2 other countries, inhabiting Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate coniferous forests spanning the Indomalayan and Oceanian and Palearctic realms. Populations.
Common Thin-toed Frog
<em>Leptodactylus leptodactyloides</em>, the common thin-toed frog, is an amphibian in the family Leptodactylidae, primarily recorded from Venezuela and surrounding lowland regions of northern South America. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This terrestrial frog typically inhabits savanna grasslands, gallery forests, and disturbed areas adjacent to wetlands, where it breeds in temporary pools and flooded grasslands during the rainy season. Like other leptodactylid frogs, males call from the water's edge to attract females, and the species produces foam nests for eggs. Diet typically consists of invertebrates including insects, spiders, and worms. The species is part of a diverse and taxonomically complex genus, and population status across its range is not precisely quantified. Biological traits such as adult body length, weight, lifespan, and clutch size remain poorly documented in comprehensive standardized scientific assessments for this species specifically. Conservation efforts benefit from broader amphibian monitoring programs across Venezuela and the surrounding region.
