バエオミセス・プラコフィルス（Baeomyces placophyllus）は酸性裸地・荒れ地・ヒース・高山帯の開けた環境の鉱質土壌に生育する痂状地衣類で、厚みのある鱗片状の葉状体から分岐しない柄上に淡い肉色の子嚢盤を形成する特徴的な形態を持つ。ヨーロッパ温帯〜亜寒帯地域の分布域は土壌安定化・草地改良による生育地の消失で脅威を受けており、絶滅危惧（EN）に分類される。裸地開拓者（パイオニア）としての生態的役割を持ちながら、現在は保護が必要な希少種となっている。

Common Cone-headed Grasshopper

<em>Acrida ungarica</em>, commonly known as the common cone-headed grasshopper, is a large grasshopper in the family Acrididae. This species is notable for its distinctively elongated, conical head that gives it a slender, streamlined appearance. It typically inhabits open grasslands, meadows, scrublands, and the margins of wetlands, where tall grasses provide both food and cover. <em>Acrida ungarica</em> is a phytophagous species that feeds primarily on grasses and other herbaceous plants. Its coloration varies from green to brownish-yellow, offering effective camouflage in its grassy habitat. The species is distributed across parts of Europe and western Asia. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no major threats identified to its populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
