American Bald Eagle

흰머리독수리(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)는 미국의 국조이자 미국 자연 보전 성공의 상징으로, 날개 폭이 최대 2.4미터에 달하며 북미 전역의 수변 삼림과 습지에 서식한다. 주로 물고기를 포식하는 강력한 공중 포식자이자 청소 동물로, DDT 오염과 남획으로 1960년대에 멸종 위기에 처했으나 농약 사용 금지와 멸종위기종보호법 시행 이후 극적으로 개체수가 회복되었다.

cloaked carpet

The cloaked carpet (Euphyia unangulata) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across temperate Europe and parts of western Asia. The adult wingspan typically measures 22–28 mm, with forewings displaying the characteristic carpet moth pattern of transverse bands and cross-lines in shades of grey, brown, and white, providing effective camouflage against tree bark and lichen-covered surfaces. The species inhabits deciduous woodland, scrubby hedgerows, and woodland margins where its larval foodplants, including chickweed (Stellaria species) and related low-growing herbaceous plants, are abundant. Adults fly in one or two generations per year depending on latitude, typically on the wing from late spring through late summer. Larvae feed through summer and autumn, pupating in soil or leaf litter. Like many geometrid moths, the cloaked carpet has experienced population declines across parts of its European range, attributed to loss of diverse woodland understory, reduction in traditional coppicing practices, and changes in land management that reduce the availability of shaded, moist microhabitats where foodplants thrive.
