蓝尾翠蜂鸟

蓝尾翠蜂鸟是一种以尾羽宝石般蓝绿色光泽命名的小型蜂鸟，雄性全身闪耀着翠绿色光泽，尾部呈深蓝绿色且分叉。分布于委内瑞拉、哥伦比亚东至特立尼达、南至玻利维亚和巴西的低地热带林缘、稀树草原和花园中。它们在受干扰和次生栖息地中十分常见，因此与更为特化的蜂鸟相比，对栖息地变化的适应力较强。

clouded brindle

The clouded brindle (Apamea epomidion) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and extending into western Asia. The adult wingspan measures approximately 35–45 mm with typical brindle-patterned forewings in grey-brown and buff tones with subtle cross-lines and stigmata characteristic of the Apamea genus. The term 'clouded' refers to diffuse cloud-like darker shading areas across the forewing surface. Adults fly in one generation from June to August, attracted to light and flowers at night. The larvae are internal feeders within grass stems and roots, feeding on coarse grass species such as Brachypodium sylvaticum and Deschampsia in woodland rides, scrub margins, and rough grassland habitats. The pupal stage overwinters in soil or within plant debris. The clouded brindle inhabits structurally diverse woodland edge habitats with a mixture of tall grasses, scrub, and open canopy woodland rides that provide both larval foodplants and adult resting sites. Changes in woodland management, particularly reduction of coppicing and shading of woodland rides, may affect this and related grass-feeding brindle moth species.
