Common Cone-headed Grasshopper

<em>Acrida ungarica</em>, commonly known as the common cone-headed grasshopper, is a large grasshopper in the family Acrididae. This species is notable for its distinctively elongated, conical head that gives it a slender, streamlined appearance. It typically inhabits open grasslands, meadows, scrublands, and the margins of wetlands, where tall grasses provide both food and cover. <em>Acrida ungarica</em> is a phytophagous species that feeds primarily on grasses and other herbaceous plants. Its coloration varies from green to brownish-yellow, offering effective camouflage in its grassy habitat. The species is distributed across parts of Europe and western Asia. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no major threats identified to its populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Planktothrix prolifica是Phormidiaceae科的丝状蓝藻，在淡水湖水柱中形成笔直、无分支的毛状体。部分Planktothrix种与蓝藻毒素的产生有关，使其成为生态学和公共卫生领域的重要关注对象。其保育状况尚未经过评估。
