Habitat & Geographic Range
cloaked pug
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Found across Europe (8 countries).
gorilla
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
cloaked pug
The cloaked pug (Eupithecia abietaria) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across boreal and montane Europe, with populations extending from Scandinavia through the Alps and Carpathians into central Siberia. The adult wingspan measures approximately 20–25 mm, with the intricate grey, white, and dark cross-banded pattern typical of pug moths providing superb camouflage against spruce bark and lichen-covered surfaces. The species is closely associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies) and related conifers, whose developing cones serve as the principal larval foodplant. Larvae feed within the scales of ripening cones, making detection and study challenging. Adults fly in a single generation from June to August, active at night and attracted to light. The cloaked pug is characteristic of mature boreal coniferous forest and montane spruce woodland, habitats that have declined in extent across parts of Central Europe due to conversion to plantation forestry and changing forest management practices. Its conservation depends on the maintenance of naturally structured boreal and subalpine forests with abundant cone-bearing conifers.
