The Brown Howler Monkey (Alouatta guariba) is a species in the genus Alouatta. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Common Spruce Bell

<em>Epinotia tedella</em>, commonly known as the common spruce bell, is a small tortrix moth in the family Tortricidae, distributed across Europe wherever its primary host plant, <em>Picea abies</em> (Norway spruce), occurs. This species typically inhabits spruce forests, forest plantations, and woodland edges with significant spruce components, from lowland areas to montane elevations throughout much of the European continent. Its geographic range extends from Scandinavia and the British Isles south through central and eastern Europe, broadly following the distribution of its conifer hosts. Classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, <em>Epinotia tedella</em> maintains stable populations across its range and is not considered threatened. The larvae feed internally within the needles of <em>Picea</em> species, mining leaf tissue and occasionally causing noticeable damage during outbreak years in plantation forestry. Adults are small moths with a wingspan of approximately 12–16 mm, displaying forewing patterns of brownish-grey with silvery strigulae typical of the genus. The species produces one generation per year, with adults flying from late spring to midsummer. Biological traits such as average lifespan in years, precise body weight, and detailed population dynamics remain poorly documented for this minor forestry pest. Diet consists primarily of Norway spruce needle tissue during the larval stage.
