Coastal Flat-body

Agonopterix yeatiana, the coastal flat-body, is a small moth in the family Depressariidae native to coastal and calcareous grassland habitats across western and northern Europe, with records from Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden. Moths in the family Depressariidae, commonly called flat-body moths due to the depressed posture they adopt when resting with wings held flat against the surface, are associated predominantly with umbellifer plants of the family Apiaceae as larval hosts. Agonopterix yeatiana larvae feed on wild carrot (Daucus carota), wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa), and related coastal and grassland Apiaceae species, inhabiting the open, often calcareous or sandy habitats where these plants grow. Adult moths have greyish-brown forewing with a distinctive pattern of spots and dashes and reach approximately 8–12 millimeters in wingspan. The species is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting declines associated with the loss of traditional hay meadow management, coastal grassland degradation, and scrub encroachment that eliminates the open, flower-rich grassland habitats supporting its host plants. Agricultural intensification has reduced wild umbellifer populations significantly across lowland Europe, reducing food resources for larvae of specialist moths like A. yeatiana.

Golden Eagle

세계에서 가장 강력하고 널리 분포하는 맹금류 중 하나인 검독수리는 날개 폭이 2.2m에 달하며 북반구 전역의 산악 지형에 서식한다. 뛰어난 공중 사냥꾼으로 활공 비행과 시속 200km 이상의 가파른 강하를 이용해 토끼, 산토끼, 땅다람쥐, 때로는 어린 사슴과 여우를 포획한다. 많은 문화권에서 수천 년에 걸친 매사냥 전통의 중심에 있어 왔다.
