Achnanthes armillaris is a small, monoraphid diatom in the family Achnanthidiaceae, attached to submerged substrates by a mucilage pad at one pole of its frustule. It inhabits freshwater streams, rivers, and lakes, forming part of the epilithic and epiphytic diatom community. Like other Achnanthes species, it serves as a bioindicator for water chemistry and flow regime in freshwater monitoring programs.

American Bald Eagle

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
