マミジロイカル

メキシコから中米、ボリビア・ブラジルにかけての湿潤な森林・林縁・二次林に生息する大型の美しいサルタトルで、緑色の上面に白い眉斑、黒いほお線、温かいバフ色の喉が特徴的です。林縁や庭園でよく見られ、豊かで旋律的な歌声を出します。種子・果実・新芽を採食し、混群に加わることもあります。広い新熱帯域の分布域で最もよく観察されるサルタトルのひとつです。

clouded brindle

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.
