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.

鳞斑蜂鸟

在以纯色或虹彩羽毛为主的蜂鸟中，一种具有斑点或花斑下体的中型蜂鸟，栖息于从哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉南至玻利维亚海拔900至3,000米的安第斯云雾林和林缘。斑点下体图案在鸟停歇于苔藓覆盖的树皮上时提供了出色的伪装。觅食花蜜和小型节肢动物，是安第斯附生植物的重要传粉者。
