clouded magpie

The clouded magpie (Abraxas sylvata) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across temperate Europe, extending eastward through Russia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 32–42 mm, with white wings bearing a distinctive pattern of yellow-orange and dark grey to black spots and patches arranged in rows across the forewing and hindwing, creating a striking patterned appearance resembling the magpie coloring of the related magpie moth Abraxas grossulariata, but with a more yellowish, muted tone and less black — hence 'clouded.' Adults fly in one generation from June to July, resting on leaf surfaces and attending woodland flowers for nectar. The larvae feed on wych elm (Ulmus glabra) and occasionally other Ulmus species in mature deciduous woodland and woodland edges. The clouded magpie has become less common in parts of its European range due to the widespread loss of mature elms from Dutch elm disease, which devastated European elm populations from the 1970s onward. Conservation of this species requires the protection of surviving mature elm trees and management of regrowth elms in woodland ecosystems.

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.
