fausse camomille

<em>Anthemis arvensis</em>, commonly known as common chamomile, is a plant species found across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. It typically occupies multiple biome types, often colonizing arable fields, disturbed ground, roadsides, and open grasslands in temperate regions. The species is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it faces a significant risk of extinction in the wild if the pressures affecting its populations continue. Common chamomile belongs to the genus <em>Anthemis</em> within the family Asteraceae and is an annual or biennial herb known for its white ray florets and yellow central disc flowers, which superficially resemble true chamomile (<em>Matricaria chamomilla</em>). The decline of this species is often associated with agricultural intensification, the widespread use of herbicides, and the loss of the traditional arable habitats it depends on across its range. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height, and mass of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts focusing on the preservation of low-intensity agricultural landscapes are important for the species' long-term survival.

Bengali rouge

A brilliantly colored small finch of South and Southeast Asia, red avadavats — also called strawberry finches — display deep crimson plumage with white spots across the body in breeding males. They inhabit tall grasslands, reeds, and scrub near water from Pakistan and India east to Indonesia. Popular cage birds across Asia and now established as introduced populations in parts of Europe, Japan, and the Caribbean. They live in flocks and produce quiet, musical calls.
