栗额金刚鹦鹉是一种中型金刚鹦鹉，分布于墨西哥南部至玻利维亚和巴西的中美洲和南美洲热带森林。主体羽色绿色，前额栗色，肩部红色，飞羽蓝色。它是真正金刚鹦鹉中最小的物种，栖息于森林边缘、稀树草原和次生林，常掠食农作物，在当地不受农民欢迎。它是受欢迎的笼养鸟，但野生种群因捕捉和森林砍伐而承受压力。

Common maple aphid

<em>Periphyllus testudinaceus</em>, the common maple aphid, is a small sap-sucking insect in the family Aphididae, associated primarily with maple trees of the genus Acer. It is recorded from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. This species has not been formally evaluated for IUCN conservation status. The common maple aphid typically forms colonies on the undersides of maple leaves and along young shoots, feeding on phloem sap and potentially causing leaf curling, discoloration, and reduced tree vigor in heavy infestations. Like many aphid species, it produces honeydew as a metabolic byproduct, which attracts ants that may protect the aphid colonies in exchange. The species exhibits complex life cycles that can involve both sexual and asexual reproduction across seasons. Biological traits including body size, average lifespan, and precise dietary specializations beyond maple sap feeding remain incompletely documented. The common maple aphid is part of the broader community of invertebrates dependent on maple trees across temperate Northern Hemisphere regions.
