Common Yellow Conch

<em>Agapeta hamana</em>, the common yellow conch moth, is a small moth in the family Tortricidae. It is widely distributed across Europe and central Asia, ranging from Britain and Scandinavia eastward through much of the Palearctic region. The species inhabits dry grasslands, heathlands, chalk downlands, and scrubby habitats where its larval host plants are found. Adult moths display distinctive pale yellow to golden-yellow forewings with irregular brown or reddish-brown markings near the wingtip, forming a pattern that resembles the shell of a conch, lending the species its common name. The wingspan typically measures around 15–22 mm. Biological traits such as average adult lifespan, precise body weight, and detailed population data remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature. Larvae feed internally on the roots of thistles and knapweeds, particularly <em>Centaurea</em> and <em>Cirsium</em> species. Adults fly from June to August and are frequently attracted to light. <em>Agapeta hamana</em> has been investigated as a potential biological control agent for invasive knapweed species in North America, where it has been introduced experimentally. The species is assessed as Least Concern given its broad distribution and stable habitat associations.

長尾蜂鳥

长尾精灵蜂鸟(Aglaiocercus kingii)是装饰最为华丽的蜂鸟之一。雄性具有虹彩绿色羽毛和极度延长的带状外侧尾羽,可达22厘米,超过体长的三倍。分布于哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉安第斯云雾林海拔1400至2800米处。雄性会进行精心的展示飞行以吸引雌性。其华美的尾羽是雌性偏好驱动性选择的经典案例。
