Comet Darner

<em>Anax longipes</em>, the comet darner, is a large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is endemic to the United States, where it inhabits lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with clear water and abundant emergent vegetation. The comet darner is one of the largest North American dragonflies and is distinguished by its brilliant coloration, including a green thorax and a red-spotted abdomen in mature males. The species name longipes refers to its notably long legs. Adults are powerful aerial predators, feeding on a variety of flying insects captured in flight. Larvae are aquatic and predatory, developing in the benthic zone of freshwater habitats where they feed on invertebrates and small vertebrates. The comet darner undertakes seasonal dispersal movements and is most commonly observed near its breeding water bodies during the warmer months.

Tuber maculatum俗称「白松露」或「斑点松露」,是一种地下生子囊菌,外皮白色至奶油色,带有深色斑点,外观呈斑驳状。生长于欧洲温带森林的石灰质土壤中,与栎树、榛树等阔叶树形成外生菌根共生关系。这种地下真菌与树根建立营养交换关系,依靠其浓烈气味吸引穴居动物来传播孢子。
