Common Cone-headed Grasshopper

<em>Acrida ungarica</em>, commonly known as the common cone-headed grasshopper, is a large grasshopper in the family Acrididae. This species is notable for its distinctively elongated, conical head that gives it a slender, streamlined appearance. It typically inhabits open grasslands, meadows, scrublands, and the margins of wetlands, where tall grasses provide both food and cover. <em>Acrida ungarica</em> is a phytophagous species that feeds primarily on grasses and other herbaceous plants. Its coloration varies from green to brownish-yellow, offering effective camouflage in its grassy habitat. The species is distributed across parts of Europe and western Asia. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no major threats identified to its populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Common Oak

유럽에서 가장 중요하고 널리 분포하는 낙엽수 중 하나인 영국참나무(Quercus robur)는 1,000년 이상 살 수 있으며 높이 40m에 달하고, 어떤 유럽 수종보다 다양한 생물다양성을 지원한다. 2,300종 이상의 곤충·균류·지의류·이끼·조류가 노령 참나무에 직접 의존한다. 유럽 전역에서 서아시아에 이르는 온대림에 분포하며, 단단하고 내구성 있는 목재는 역사적으로 조선, 건축, 통 제조에 필수적이었다.
