Comet Darner

<em>Anax longipes</em>, the comet darner, is a large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is endemic to the United States, where it inhabits lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with clear water and abundant emergent vegetation. The comet darner is one of the largest North American dragonflies and is distinguished by its brilliant coloration, including a green thorax and a red-spotted abdomen in mature males. The species name longipes refers to its notably long legs. Adults are powerful aerial predators, feeding on a variety of flying insects captured in flight. Larvae are aquatic and predatory, developing in the benthic zone of freshwater habitats where they feed on invertebrates and small vertebrates. The comet darner undertakes seasonal dispersal movements and is most commonly observed near its breeding water bodies during the warmer months.

コンゴウインコ

南北アメリカ大陸で最も鮮やかな色彩を誇る鳥の一つであるコンゴウインコ(Ara macao)は、鮮烈な赤・黄・青の羽毛と翼開長最大1メートルの大きな翼を持ちます。メキシコからボリビアにかけての湿潤な低地森林に生息し、高い知性を持ち、最長75年の長寿で生涯を通じてつがいを形成します。種子の毒素を無害化するためにミネラル豊富な土を摂取するクレイ・リックまで長距離を移動します。軽度懸念に指定されていますが、生息地の喪失とペット取引により地域的に脅威にさらされています。
