Habitat & Geographic Range

キンパラ

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical coniferous forests spanning the Australasia and Indomalayan and Neotropic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Indonesia, Japan, United Arab Emirates), Europe (Norway, United Kingdom), North America (Haiti, Jamaica, United States), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador).

Common Least Skipper

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Range

Distributed across Canada and United States.

キンパラ

豊かな栗褐色の羽毛、黒い頭部、白い腹部を持つ小型のがっしりしたカエデチョウ科フィンチで、インドとスリランカから東南アジアを経てフィリピンと台湾まで、草地、水田、開けた林縁に生息する。非常に群れを作る習性があり、大きな群れを形成し、稲作の小規模害虫とみなされることもある。アジア全域で飼育用鳥として広く飼育され、比較的容易に繁殖・飼育できる。

Common Least Skipper

The Common Least Skipper (<em>Ancyloxypha numitor</em>) is a small butterfly in the family Hesperiidae, classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to Canada and the United States, where it typically inhabits virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats within its range, showing a particular affinity for moist, grassy areas near water. The species is among the smallest skippers in North America, characterized by orange and brown wing coloration and a rapid, low-flying flight pattern close to vegetation. Adults typically nectar on small flowers while larvae feed on grasses, particularly those in wet meadows, marshes, stream margins, and disturbed grassy areas. The Common Least Skipper is frequently observed in wetland margins, wet prairies, and roadsides with rank grass growth. Its wide distribution across North America and habitat generalism across moist grassland and wetland types support its stable population and Least Concern conservation status. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
