Common Flat-body

<em>Agonopterix heracliana</em> is a moth belonging to the family Depressariidae within the order Lepidoptera. Commonly known as the common flat-body, this species is named for the flattened resting posture characteristic of the genus Agonopterix. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no indication of significant population decline. <em>Agonopterix heracliana</em> is distributed across northwestern Europe, with documented occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Larvae of this species are typically associated with plants in the family Apiaceae, particularly hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and related umbellifers, upon which they feed while sheltering in rolled or folded leaves. Adults are typically brownish with subtle markings and are active from late summer through winter and early spring, overwintering as adults — an unusual life history trait among moths. The species inhabits hedgerows, woodland margins, and meadows where its host plants are abundant. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Sarcodon leucopus는 갓 아랫면에 주름이나 공극 대신 창백한 가시(이빨)가 촘촘히 박혀 있는 육질의 갈색 갓을 가진 이빨버섯이다. 유럽의 온대 및 아한대 숲에서 침엽수 및 활엽수와 외균근 공생 관계를 형성한다. 준위협종으로, 질소 침착과 노령 원시림 서식지 손실에 민감하다.
