Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, Norway, and Venezuela.

Atlantische Bergschrecke

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Violettscheitel-Andenkolibri

A medium-large hummingbird of Andean montane forests from Colombia to Bolivia, collared incas have striking black and white plumage with a broad white chest band and distinctive white tail patches visible in flight. Inhabiting forest and forest edges at elevations of 1,700–3,200 meters, they feed at diverse flowering plants and are important pollinators of large-flowered Andean shrubs and trees. Their contrasting white tail patches flash prominently during hovering flight, aiding species recognition.

Atlantische Bergschrecke

The Common Mountain Bush-cricket (<em>Antaxius pedestris</em>) is an insect in the genus <em>Antaxius</em>, belonging to the family Tettigoniidae within the order Orthoptera. This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, suggesting its populations are currently stable. It is typically found across virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats within its range. As a bush-cricket, <em>Antaxius pedestris</em> belongs to a group characterized by long antennae, typically exceeding body length, and the ability to produce sound through stridulation — rubbing the wings together. Bush-crickets are generally omnivorous, feeding on plant material, small invertebrates, and occasionally other insects. The "mountain" designation in its common name reflects an association with elevated, rocky or montane habitats, which are typical for members of this genus in Europe. Detailed biological traits such as average lifespan, body dimensions, and weight are not widely documented for this species in available records. Further taxonomic and ecological research may better define the full distribution and habitat preferences of this species.
