Um grande e marcante beija-flor de florestas tropicais do sul do México à Argentina, os manga-de-garganta-preta apresentam marcado dimorfismo sexual — os machos exibem garganta e peito negro brilhante com flancos violáceos e verdes e uma cauda roxa destacada, enquanto as fêmeas são brancas na parte inferior com uma faixa preta central. Habitam bordas de floresta, clareiras e jardins, defendendo agressivamente árvores em floração. Os machos realizam espetaculares voos de exibição na altura do dossel da floresta. Classificado como Pouco Preocupante em toda a sua ampla área de distribuição neotropical.

Common thrip

<em>Thrips pini</em> is a small insect in the order Thysanoptera, family Thripidae, recorded from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. It is Not Evaluated on the IUCN Red List. As its name suggests, this species is principally associated with pine trees, feeding on the young shoots, buds, and needle bases of <em>Pinus</em> species, where feeding damage can cause discoloration and distortion of foliage. It inhabits coniferous forests and plantations, particularly in northern and temperate regions. Like other thrips species, it is a minute insect, typically 1–2 millimeters in length, with fringed wings. Populations are typically univoltine or bivoltine in northern climates, and overwintering occurs in litter or bark crevices. Diet consists of plant tissue, primarily from pine hosts. The species has limited direct economic significance compared to some other thrips pests, but can contribute to forest health concerns when populations reach high densities. Biological traits such as precise adult body weight, lifespan, and egg output remain poorly documented in standardized scientific assessments.
