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.

ダチョウ

世界最大かつ最重量の現生鳥類であるダチョウ（Struthio camelus）は、体高2.8m・体重156kgに達し、アフリカのサバンナと半乾燥平原に生息する。飛べない代わりに強靭な長い脚で致命的な蹴りを繰り出し、時速70kmという鳥類最速の走行を可能にする。大きな目は陸上脊椎動物の中で最大である。ダチョウの卵は現生鳥類の中で最も大きい。
