Common maple aphid

<em>Periphyllus testudinaceus</em>, the common maple aphid, is a small sap-sucking insect in the family Aphididae, associated primarily with maple trees of the genus Acer. It is recorded from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. This species has not been formally evaluated for IUCN conservation status. The common maple aphid typically forms colonies on the undersides of maple leaves and along young shoots, feeding on phloem sap and potentially causing leaf curling, discoloration, and reduced tree vigor in heavy infestations. Like many aphid species, it produces honeydew as a metabolic byproduct, which attracts ants that may protect the aphid colonies in exchange. The species exhibits complex life cycles that can involve both sexual and asexual reproduction across seasons. Biological traits including body size, average lifespan, and precise dietary specializations beyond maple sap feeding remain incompletely documented. The common maple aphid is part of the broader community of invertebrates dependent on maple trees across temperate Northern Hemisphere regions.

イヌワシ

世界で最も強力で広く分布する猛禽類の一つであるイヌワシは、翼開長が2.2mに達し、北半球全域の山岳地帯に生息する。卓越した空中ハンターで、滑空飛行と時速200km以上の急降下を利用してウサギ、ノウサギ、ジリス、時には子鹿やキツネを捕食する。多くの文化において数千年にわたる鷹狩り伝統の中心的存在であった。
