Cliff Mining Bee

The Cliff Mining Bee, Andrena species in the family Andrenidae, is a solitary ground-nesting bee that excavates tunnels in cliff faces, earthen banks, and compacted sandy or loamy soils, where the loose or friable substrates exposed in cliff profiles provide ideal nesting conditions. Mining bees in the genus Andrena are among the most species-rich solitary bee genera in the world, with hundreds of species across the Holarctic region, many narrowly specialized in their choice of pollen host plants. Female cliff mining bees construct vertical or angled burrows in cliff faces, with lateral cells off the main shaft, each containing a pollen ball and a single egg. Males are typically smaller and emerge before females to establish territories near nesting sites. Many Andrena species are oligolectic, collecting pollen from only a small number of plant species, making their populations sensitive to the availability of specific flowering plants in the landscape surrounding nesting areas. Cliff and bank nesting habitats provide well-drained, sun-warmed substrates essential for brood development. The loss of natural cliff faces and earthen banks to development, vegetation succession, and quarrying reduces available nesting habitat for cliff mining bees.

Yellow-collared Lovebird

황금목사랑앵무(Agapornis personatus)는 탄자니아 북부 내륙 건조 지역에 제한적으로 분포하는 소형 앵무새로, 노란 목테와 보라빛 파란색 이마가 특징입니다. 군집성이 강하며 관목 사바나에 서식하고, 애완용으로 인기가 높아 야생에서도 탈출 개체가 전 세계적으로 정착했습니다. IUCN 적색목록에서 최소관심(LC)으로 분류됩니다.
