common wave

<em>Cabera exanthemata</em>, commonly known as the common wave, is a moth in the family Geometridae, distributed across much of Europe, with confirmed records from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating a stable population with no major threats currently identified. The species is associated with deciduous woodland habitats, particularly areas with abundant birch, alder, and willow trees, which serve as larval host plants. Adults are pale whitish-gray with a series of fine, wavy darker cross-lines on the wings — a pattern typical of many geometrid moths that provides camouflage against lichen-covered tree bark. <em>Cabera exanthemata</em> typically produces two or three generations per year depending on latitude, with adults typically on the wing from May through August. Larvae feed on the foliage of various deciduous trees and overwinter as pupae in the soil or leaf litter. The species is primarily nocturnal as an adult, attracted to light sources during flight periods. Biological traits including average lifespan, wingspan dimensions, and mass remain poorly documented in standardized databases. Ecologically, the common wave contributes to forest food webs as both a herbivore during its larval stage and as a food resource for insectivorous birds and bats during its adult flight period throughout its temperate European and North American range.

Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

붉은꼬리벌새(Amazilia tzacatl)는 중앙아메리카와 남아메리카 북서부에서 가장 흔한 벌새 중 하나로, 녹색 상체와 선명한 적갈색 꼬리가 특징인 중형 종이다. 멕시코에서 에콰도르, 트리니다드까지 해발 0~2,100m의 숲 가장자리, 정원, 농장, 2차 성장림 등 다양한 서식지에서 발견된다. 먹이 식물과 급이대에서 영역을 적극적으로 방어하며, 서식 범위 전역의 정원에서 자주 목격된다. IUCN 관심필요종이다.
