Collared Sprite

The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.

Monarch

世界で最も驚くべき渡り昆虫の一つで、オオカバマダラ（Danaus plexippus）は北アメリカ北部の繁殖地とメキシコの山岳森林の越冬地との間を最大 4,800 km の多世代往復移動を行います。鮮やかなオレンジと黒の翅は幼虫時に食べたトウワタから得た毒性を捕食者に警告します。1990年代以降、繁殖地の消失、農薬、気候変動により越冬個体群が 80%以上減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。
