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.

棕尾蜂鳥

棕尾蜂鸟(Amazilia tzacatl)是中美洲和南美洲西北部最常见的蜂鸟之一，为中等体型，具绿色上体和标志性的亮棕橙色尾羽。分布从墨西哥延伸至厄瓜多尔和特立尼达，栖息于海拔0至2,100米的林缘、庭园、种植园和次生林等多种生境。在喂食台和开花植物处积极捍卫领地，在分布范围内的庭园中频繁可见。被列为无危物种。
