Coastal Silver-stiletto

Coastal silver stiletto (Acrosathe annulata) is a slender robber fly in the family Therevidae, native to northwestern Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Scandinavia. Adults are found on coastal sand dunes and sandy heathland, where they perch on bare sand to ambush small flying insects. Stiletto flies in the family Therevidae are characterised by a slender body, long pointed abdomen, and predatory habits; adults prey on a variety of small dipterans and other flying insects during warm, sunny periods. Larvae develop in sandy soil, where they are also predatory, feeding on other invertebrate larvae. Acrosathe annulata is a habitat specialist restricted to open, sandy coastal habitats with sparse vegetation—environments that have declined substantially across northwestern Europe due to dune stabilisation, recreational disturbance, and the cessation of traditional dune management. The IUCN lists it as Least Concern, though regional conservation bodies in the United Kingdom have flagged population declines. It is considered an indicator of high-quality coastal sand dune habitats and is monitored through national invertebrate surveys.

ブンチョウ

東アジアで最も人気のある飼い鳥の一つであるジャワスズメは、灰色の羽毛、鮮やかな黒い頭部、特徴的な白い頬斑、明るい赤いくちばしを持つ印象的なフィンチである。インドネシアのジャワ島とバリ島が原産地で、アジア・アフリカ・アメリカの多くの地域に導入されている。開けた草地、水田、農地に生息し、稲作に被害を与えることがある。籠鳥取引のための深刻な捕獲圧力により、原産地では絶滅危惧種に指定されている。
