The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.

Phyllorhine de Commerson

<em>Macronycteris commersonii</em>, commonly known as Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat, is a chiropteran mammal in the family Hipposideridae. This species is assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it faces increasing pressures that could elevate its risk of extinction without conservation attention. Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat typically inhabits a range of diverse ecosystems across sub-Saharan Africa, including forests, savannas, and areas near caves or rocky outcrops that serve as roosting sites. Like other hipposiderid bats, it uses echolocation to navigate and hunt in low-light conditions, often foraging for insects in open or semi-open environments after dark. Roost disturbance, habitat degradation, and human persecution are among the primary threats facing this species. The large, elaborately shaped noseleaf characteristic of the family helps focus echolocation signals during foraging. Populations are typically found roosting in caves, mines, and hollow trees in groups that may range from small colonies to large aggregations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
