diglosa lustrosa

Un pincha-flores de tamaño mediano con plumaje negro azulado iridiscente y brillante que capta la luz con un intenso brillo metálico, los pincha-flores brillantes usan su pico ganchudo especializado para perforar la base de las flores y robar el néctar sin efectuar la polinización — una forma de robo de néctar que ha evolucionado de forma independiente múltiples veces en aves. Se encuentra en el bosque nublado andino húmedo y en los bordes forestales de Colombia a Bolivia a altitudes de 1.500–3.500 metros. Común en bordes de bosque y jardines con abundantes plantas de flores tubulares.

Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.
