Collembola

<em>Folsomides angularis</em>, commonly referred to as Collembola in reference to its broader taxonomic order, is a springtail species belonging to the genus <em>Folsomides</em>. Springtails are among the most abundant hexapods in terrestrial ecosystems, playing important roles in soil decomposition and nutrient cycling. This species has been documented in Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as North America, where it is known from the United States. It typically inhabits soil, leaf litter, and decaying organic matter, and is capable of tolerating a range of environmental conditions. Springtails of this group are detritivores, feeding on decomposing plant material, fungal hyphae, and microorganisms, though specific dietary data for <em>Folsomides angularis</em> are not detailed in current records. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its small body size and cryptic lifestyle make detailed ecological study challenging.

Speckled Hummingbird

O beija-flor-pintado (Adelomyia melanogenys) e um beija-flor de porte medio com as partes inferiores pintalgadas ou malhadas, incomum entre os beija-flores dominados por plumagens lisas ou iridescentes. Habita florestas de neblina e bordas de floresta nos Andes, da Colombia e Venezuela ate a Bolivia, em elevacoes de 900 a 3.000 metros. O padrao de manchas nas partes inferiores oferece camuflagem notavel quando o ave se pousa sobre casca coberta de liquens. E importante polinizador de epifitas andinas.
