noctuelle hépatique

The clouded brindle (Apamea epomidion) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and extending into western Asia. The adult wingspan measures approximately 35–45 mm with typical brindle-patterned forewings in grey-brown and buff tones with subtle cross-lines and stigmata characteristic of the Apamea genus. The term 'clouded' refers to diffuse cloud-like darker shading areas across the forewing surface. Adults fly in one generation from June to August, attracted to light and flowers at night. The larvae are internal feeders within grass stems and roots, feeding on coarse grass species such as Brachypodium sylvaticum and Deschampsia in woodland rides, scrub margins, and rough grassland habitats. The pupal stage overwinters in soil or within plant debris. The clouded brindle inhabits structurally diverse woodland edge habitats with a mixture of tall grasses, scrub, and open canopy woodland rides that provide both larval foodplants and adult resting sites. Changes in woodland management, particularly reduction of coppicing and shading of woodland rides, may affect this and related grass-feeding brindle moth species.

Paruline de Colima

<em>Leiothlypis crissalis</em>, the Colima Warbler, is a wood warbler in the family Parulidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It breeds primarily in the Chisos Mountains of southwestern Texas in the United States and adjacent areas of northeastern Mexico, where it inhabits oak, juniper, and pine-oak woodland at higher elevations. <em>Leiothlypis crissalis</em> is a migratory species that winters in Mexico. The genus <em>Leiothlypis</em> was separated from <em>Vermivora</em> following phylogenetic revisions in the early twenty-first century. Colima Warblers typically forage in shrub and tree understories, gleaning insects and other invertebrates from vegetation. Diet, population estimates, and biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available records. No specific country occurrence records are listed in the available data for this species. Its Least Concern designation reflects that current population levels do not indicate an elevated extinction risk, though the species' restricted breeding range in a single mountain range makes it of conservation interest.
