Common Stiletto

<em>Thereva nobilitata</em>, commonly known as the common stiletto fly, is a medium-sized fly in the family Therevidae, distributed across Europe and parts of western Asia. This species typically inhabits sandy heathlands, coastal dunes, river sandbars, open grasslands, and sparsely vegetated sandy soils where both adults and larvae can exploit loose substrates. Its geographic range extends across much of Europe from the British Isles and Scandinavia south to the Mediterranean, with records extending into parts of North Africa and western Asia. Classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, <em>Thereva nobilitata</em> is among the more frequently encountered therevid flies in European sandy habitats. Adult stiletto flies are predatory, typically hunting small soft-bodied insects on the ground and in low vegetation. The larvae are also predatory, living in soil or sand where they hunt other soil-dwelling invertebrate larvae. Adults are typically grey-bodied with silvery-grey pruinosity and mottled wings, reaching a body length of approximately 10–15 mm. Biological traits such as average lifespan in years, precise body weight, and detailed dietary preferences at the prey species level remain poorly documented for this species. Adults are typically active during warm, sunny weather from late spring through summer.

jaguar

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
