乔科王森莺
The Choco Warbler (Myiothlypis chlorophrys) is a small, ground-associated warbler in the family Parulidae (New World warblers), endemic to the subtropical Andean foothills of western Ecuador in the Chocó biogeographic region. It belongs to the diverse genus Myiothlypis (formerly placed in Basileuterus), a group of largely terrestrial neotropical warblers that forage in the undergrowth of humid montane forests. The Choco Warbler is characterised by olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinctive supercilium pattern on the head. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid foothill and lower montane forest at elevations between approximately 600 and 1,500 metres, foraging close to the ground among fallen leaves and low shrubs for small invertebrates. Its range appears largely restricted to southwestern and northwestern Ecuador in the humid Pacific slope forest zone, though the precise distribution boundary with related species is still being refined taxonomically. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern. Ecuador's Pacific slope forests face considerable pressure from agricultural expansion — particularly banana, cacao, and palm oil cultivation — and human settlement, though the species appears to tolerate some degree of forest degradation within its range.
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.
