clouded-bordered brindle

The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.

コウカンチョウ

アカボウシインコチョウ（Paroaria coronata）はボリビア・ブラジルからアルゼンチンにかけての南アメリカ原産の、鮮やかな赤い冠羽、白い顔、灰色の体を持つ目を引く中型鳥類で、ハワイや太平洋の島々に移入されてホノルルの象徴的な庭鳥となった。密な低木、草地の端、郊外の庭に生息し、種子や小型昆虫を採食する。その名前や外見の類似性にもかかわらず、北米のショウジョウコウカンチョウとは近縁ではなく、フウキンチョウ科に属する。
