Bordered Apamea Moth

The Bordered Apamea Moth (Apamea sordens) is a species in the genus Apamea. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Common Cicadabird

<em>Edolisoma tenuirostre</em>, commonly known as the common cicadabird, is a bird species with a documented record from Norway. It typically inhabits aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments, often associated with forest canopies, forest edges, and wooded areas in its native range across the Australasian region. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is not currently at risk of significant population decline at a global level. Common cicadabird belongs to the genus <em>Edolisoma</em> within the family Campephagidae. It is a slender, cuckoo-shrike-like bird that typically forages for insects and other invertebrates in the forest canopy, often remaining inconspicuous due to its cryptic coloration and preference for the upper tree strata. Males and females typically exhibit marked sexual dimorphism in plumage. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body length, and mass of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The species' broad native range across Australasia contributes to its currently stable conservation status.
