Comet Darner

<em>Anax longipes</em>, the comet darner, is a large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is endemic to the United States, where it inhabits lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with clear water and abundant emergent vegetation. The comet darner is one of the largest North American dragonflies and is distinguished by its brilliant coloration, including a green thorax and a red-spotted abdomen in mature males. The species name longipes refers to its notably long legs. Adults are powerful aerial predators, feeding on a variety of flying insects captured in flight. Larvae are aquatic and predatory, developing in the benthic zone of freshwater habitats where they feed on invertebrates and small vertebrates. The comet darner undertakes seasonal dispersal movements and is most commonly observed near its breeding water bodies during the warmer months.

Cryptomonas pyrenoidifera는 종명에 반영된 대로 각 엽록체에 뚜렷한 피레노이드가 있는 단세포 크립토모나드 조류이다. 온대 지역의 중간에서 높은 영양 수준의 담수 호수와 연못에 서식한다. 이 혼합영양성 편모충은 광합성을 수행하며 보충 영양으로 세균도 섭취할 수 있다.
