clouded-bordered brindle

The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.

Speckled Hummingbird

안데스 벌새 중 단순하거나 무지개빛 깃털이 주를 이루는 것과 달리 반점 또는 얼룩무늬 아랫면을 가진 중형 벌새로, 콜롬비아와 베네수엘라에서 볼리비아 남쪽까지 해발 900-3,000미터의 안데스 운무림과 숲 가장자리에 서식한다. 반점 무늬 아랫면 패턴은 새가 이끼 덮인 나무껍질에 앉을 때 탁월한 위장 효과를 제공한다. 꿀과 소형 절지동물을 채집하며 안데스 착생식물의 중요한 수분 매개자 역할을 한다.
