clouded magpie

The clouded magpie (Abraxas sylvata) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across temperate Europe, extending eastward through Russia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 32–42 mm, with white wings bearing a distinctive pattern of yellow-orange and dark grey to black spots and patches arranged in rows across the forewing and hindwing, creating a striking patterned appearance resembling the magpie coloring of the related magpie moth Abraxas grossulariata, but with a more yellowish, muted tone and less black — hence 'clouded.' Adults fly in one generation from June to July, resting on leaf surfaces and attending woodland flowers for nectar. The larvae feed on wych elm (Ulmus glabra) and occasionally other Ulmus species in mature deciduous woodland and woodland edges. The clouded magpie has become less common in parts of its European range due to the widespread loss of mature elms from Dutch elm disease, which devastated European elm populations from the 1970s onward. Conservation of this species requires the protection of surviving mature elm trees and management of regrowth elms in woodland ecosystems.

領印加蜂鳥

领印加蜂鸟是一种栖息于哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯山地森林的中大型蜂鸟，具有醒目的黑白羽毛，带有宽阔的白色胸带和飞行时清晰可见的白色尾斑。栖息于海拔1700-3200米的森林和森林边缘，在多种开花植物上觅食，是安第斯大型花灌木和乔木的重要传粉者。对比鲜明的白色尾斑在悬停飞行时闪烁明显，有助于物种识别。
