ヒメコンゴウインコ
メキシコ南部からボリビアおよびブラジルに至る中南米熱帯林に生息する中型マコウインコで、栗色の前頭部、赤い肩の斑点、青い風切羽を持つ主に緑色の羽毛が特徴だ。真のマコウインコの中で最小の種で、林縁、サバンナ、二次林に生息し、農作物を荒らすことも多く地元農民には不人気なこともある。人気の飼育用鳥だが、野生個体群は捕獲と森林破壊による圧力を受けている。
Clouded Cavalier
Clouded cavalier refers to a moth or butterfly species bearing the 'cavalier' designation, likely referring to a hesperiid skipper or noctuid moth with distinctive clouded, mottled patterning on the wings. Cavalier-named lepidopteran species typically occur in tropical or subtropical regions, and the clouded form may be found in South or Southeast Asian forests or savanna habitats. Members of this type often display neutral brown, grey, and white wing patterning that provides camouflage against bark, soil, or leaf litter substrates on which they rest during the day. Larval foodplants in these groups typically include grasses, sedges, or herbaceous plants appropriate to the family of the species concerned. Many 'cavalier' skippers and related hesperiids inhabit forest margins, clearings, and disturbed habitats where sunlight penetrates the canopy, providing warm basking spots and nectar sources for adults. Documentation of species like the clouded cavalier contributes to understanding the remarkable diversity of tropical and subtropical Lepidoptera in regions experiencing ongoing habitat pressures from forest clearance and land conversion.
