The Amazon Darner (Anax amazili) is a species in the genus Anax. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Cryptomonas minor is a small freshwater cryptomonad alga with a compressed, bean-shaped cell body containing phycobilin-bearing plastids, found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving water bodies. It uses two flagella of unequal length for locomotion and is capable of photosynthesis. Cryptomonas species are important members of freshwater phytoplankton communities and serve as prey for zooplankton.
