白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟，也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例，曾因滴滴涕（DDT）的广泛使用而濒临灭绝，经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食，也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Clown beetle

Acritus komai is a minute histerid beetle (family Histeridae) belonging to the subfamily Abraeinae. Members of this subfamily are among the smallest beetles in the family, typically measuring less than 2 mm in length. Like all histerids, A. komai is presumed to be predatory, likely feeding on mites, nematodes, or small dipteran eggs and larvae in decaying organic substrates. The genus Acritus comprises numerous species distributed across multiple continents, and members are often associated with rotting wood, dung, carrion, and fungal fruiting bodies. A. komai appears to have a cosmopolitan or wide distribution, possibly facilitated by passive transport in organic material. The species has not been formally assessed by the IUCN, reflecting the general lack of conservation data for many microhabitat-specialist invertebrates. Its extremely small size and cryptic habits make field observation and population assessment challenging. Systematic studies of this genus rely primarily on detailed morphological examination of antennal club structure, elytral striae, and prosternal keels, which are important diagnostic characters in Histeridae taxonomy.
