Cimbicid sawfly

Abia lonicerae, a species of cimbicid sawfly in the family Cimbicidae, is a stocky, wasp-like insect found across the Holarctic region, with a distribution spanning Europe and parts of Asia. The larvae feed on the foliage of honeysuckle (Lonicera) species, which gives the sawfly its species name. Adult Abia lonicerae are metallic-colored, often blue-green to bronze, and are among the larger sawfly species, reaching 10–15 millimeters in length. Adults are associated with flowers and are thought to be nectar feeders. Females use a saw-like ovipositor to insert eggs into the leaf tissue of host plants. The species is classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN, reflecting insufficient information to make a reliable assessment of its conservation status. Cimbicid sawflies are generally associated with deciduous woodland and woodland edge habitats where their host plants occur. The genus Abia encompasses multiple species distributed across the Holarctic, several of which share honeysuckle or related plants as larval hosts. As with many Hymenoptera, accurate distribution data are incomplete due to the challenges of surveying relatively inconspicuous insects. Maintaining diverse woodland edge habitats with abundant native honeysuckle is likely beneficial for Abia lonicerae populations.

Emperor Penguin

세계에서 가장 큰 펭귄인 황제펭귄(Aptenodytes forsteri)은 키가 최대 1.2m에 몸무게가 45kg에 달하며, 지구상에서 가장 혹독한 환경인 남극 대륙에 서식합니다. 영하 60°C 이하의 한겨울 암흑 속에서 번식하며, 수컷이 암컷이 바다에 있는 동안 65일 동안 발 위에서 육아낭 아래에 알 한 개를 품습니다. 수천 마리가 모인 무리에서 개체들이 따뜻한 중심부를 순환하는 이른바 허들링 행동은 협동적 생존의 훌륭한 사례입니다.
