Common Cone-headed Grasshopper

<em>Acrida ungarica</em>, commonly known as the common cone-headed grasshopper, is a large grasshopper in the family Acrididae. This species is notable for its distinctively elongated, conical head that gives it a slender, streamlined appearance. It typically inhabits open grasslands, meadows, scrublands, and the margins of wetlands, where tall grasses provide both food and cover. <em>Acrida ungarica</em> is a phytophagous species that feeds primarily on grasses and other herbaceous plants. Its coloration varies from green to brownish-yellow, offering effective camouflage in its grassy habitat. The species is distributed across parts of Europe and western Asia. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no major threats identified to its populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Trechispora microsporeはその名の通り非常に小さな胞子を産生する皮殻状菌である。温帯および亜寒帯林で腐朽広葉樹・針葉樹の丸太の下面に薄い白色〜クリーム色の被殻として生育する。この腐生菌は枯れた木質材料を分解し、森林生態系の栄養素循環に寄与する。
