美洲紅鸛

美洲火烈鸟是色彩最鲜艳的火烈鸟种类，其猩红粉色羽毛来源于甲壳类食物中的类胡萝卜素色素。分布于从巴哈马和佛罗里达到中美洲及加拉帕戈斯群岛的加勒比海沿岸潟湖、盐田和红树林沼泽。高度群居，在泥滩土堆上大规模集群繁殖。其独特的深粉色被用来向潜在配偶传递健康和繁殖质量的信号。

clouded-bordered brindle

The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.
