distribution data for u . s . states and canadian provinces is known to be incomplete or has not been reviewed for this taxon .
an occurrence where the species occurs or has occurred with potential for persistence or regular recurrence . minimally a collection ( generally must be an adult ) associated with suitable habitat . photodocumentation except from spread specimens is strongly discouraged but sometimes will suffice high quality occurrences will occupy at least hundreds of hectares and in some areas eos often cover tens of thousands of hectares . where forests are fragmented the metapopulation concept probably applies , similarly if the foodplant is very unevenly distributed within a large forest .
general habitat boundaries will sometime suffice for mapping , especially for conifer feeders . when plausible combine populations in proximate fragments as one metapopulation . see habitat and food comments fields and / or ask local experts for species - specific habitat information . be particularly careful with pine feeding zale species which may be species - specific . note that many of conifer feeders such as feralia , panthea and pine feeding zale do not wander far from their hostplants . in general then is the densitiy of pines ( or other appropriate conifers ) drops below about five per hectare in mixed forests such parts are probably best not mapped as habitat for these moths except over short distancs between more suitable patches .
if the habitat is occurring patchily within an extensive overall wooded landscape consider all patches within half the suitable habitat separation distance of at least one other as one metapopulation occurrence . however apply the unsuitable habitat distance across cleared lands .
inferred extent , for example based on one specimens in a light trap , is all suitable habitat within two kilometers of the collection point . if the habitat is more extensive than that there is almost no chance the resulting 1000 hectare circle will close to contain the entire occurrence . however when data are minimal conservative assumptions are warranted .
care has been taken not to include species that would likely violate any of the distances given , especially inferred extent . herminiine , smaller
deltoids
and some other small weak fliers are not included in this group . this group is mostly for noctuids that are either polyphagous or feed on a dominant , codominant , or at least frequent foodplant . it may not be appropriate for species feeding on grasses , forbs , shrubs or even tree that tend to occur as localized , well separated patches within a forest , although if such patches are fairly frequent they should work ( see alternate separation procudure ) .

bucculatrix solidaginiella is a moth in the bucculatricidae family .

it is found in north america , where it has been recorded from florida , louisiana , maine , missouri , new jersey , mississippi and ohio .

the wingspan is 11-12.5 mm .

the hindwings are brownish ocherous .

the larvae feed on solidago species .

they feed in the growing tips of young shoots of their host plant , destroying the terminal bud , but barely boring into the tip of the stem .

pupation takes place in a white cocoon .

bucculatrix solidaginiella

most authors recognize just a single large genus , bucculatrix , although two australian species , cryphioxena notosema and the scribbly gum moth ( ogmograptis scribula ) are sometimes placed in this family rather than in elachistidae .

bucculatricidae or ( bucculatrigidae ) is a family of moths . this small family has representatives in all parts of the world . some authors place the group as a subfamily of the family lyonetiidae .
adults of this family are easily overlooked , being very small with narrow wings wrapped around the body at rest . when small , the larvae are leaf - miners , forming distinctive brown blotches on leaves . when larger , they usually feed on the leaves externally . many species have specific host plants . the pupal cases have distinctive longitudinal ridges , leading to members of the family commonly being called ribbed cocoon makers .

angwantibos are the two species of strepsirrhine primates that are classified in the genus arctocebus of the family lorisidae .

they are also known as golden pottos because of their yellow or golden coloration .

angwantibos live in tropical africa and their range includes nigeria , cameroon north of the democratic republic of congo .

angwantibos grow to a size of 22 to 30 cm , and have almost no tail at all .

they only weigh up to 0.5 kg .

their fur is yellow brown to golden in color .

their snout is more pointed than that of the other lorids and this , along with their round ears , gives it the bear-like appearance that lends them their name in german : bärenmaki , " bear lemur " .

solitary , nocturnal and arboreal , they prefer the underbrush and the lower layers of the forests .

they spend the day hidden in the leaves .

like all lorisids they are characterized by slow movements .

the diet of angwantibos consists predominantly of insects ( mostly caterpillars ) , and occasionally fruits .

owing to their careful movements and their good sense of smell , they can quietly stalk and close-in on their prey and catch it with a lightning-quick movement .

the males mate with all available females whose territory overlaps with theirs .

copulation takes place hanging onto a branch .

gestation lasts 130 days and births are of a single offspring .

the juvenile clasps itself first to the belly of the mother and later she may park her offspring on a branch while she goes searching for food .

within three to four months the young are weaned , at about six months it leaves its mother , and at an age of eight to ten months it becomes fully mature .

the life expectancy of angwantibos is at most 13 years .

a subplot in gerald durrell 's first book the overloaded ark centres on his attempts to secure an angwantibo for zoological study .

the golden angwantibo is closely related to the calabar angwantibo , arctocebus calabarensis , and was previously considered a subspecies of the latter . however , it can be distinguished by its smaller size , more slender build and shorter , brighter red - orange fur ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) .
the golden angwantibo is classified as least concern ( lc ) on the iucn red list ( 1 ) and listed on appendix ii of cites ( 3 ) .
the calabar angwantibo ( arctocebus calabarensis ) , also known as the calabar potto , is a strepsirrhine primate of the family lorisidae . it shares the genus arctocebus with the golden angwantibo ( arctocebus aureus ) . it is closely related to the potto ( perodicticus potto ) and to the various lorises . the calabar angwantibo lives in the rain forests of west africa , particularly in tree - fall zones . in areas where the forest has been cleared , it has been known to live on farmland .
the main threat to the golden angwantibo is habitat loss , due to logging and cultivation ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 7 ) . in addition , although it is thought to be too small and cryptic to face much danger from human hunters ( 4 ) , traps are not selective , meaning the golden angwantibo may be threatened by traps set for other species , particularly in light of its habit of coming down to the ground ( 8 ) . the opening up of previously inaccessible areas for logging may lead to increased hunting pressure ( 9 ) , and there may also be indirect effects of poaching of other species ; for example , forest elephants help create the areas of secondary growth favoured by the golden angwantibo , and the loss of these elephants may therefore reduce golden angwantibo habitat ( 8 ) . the relatively limited distribution of the golden angwantibo makes it more vulnerable to these threats than more widespread species ( 10 ) .
the golden angwantibo ( arctocebus aureus ) is a small , nocturnal primate with thick , woolly fur , which , as its name suggests , is golden - red or orange in colour . the underparts are creamy or greyish , and fine guard hairs on the back , shoulders and haunches have crinkled tips , giving the fur a frosted appearance . the head is rounded , with a pointed , narrow muzzle , the ears are small and rounded , and the eyes are large , giving the golden angwantibo excellent night vision ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) . the golden angwantibo has no tail , and , instead , its extremely powerful grip , made possible by a specialised arrangement of blood vessels in the wrists and ankles , aids it in moving securely through the trees ( 2 ) ( 6 ) . in common with other loridae ( lorises , pottos and angwantibos ) , the golden angwantibo has nails on all digits except for the second digit of each foot , which possesses a ‘toilet claw’ , used in grooming ( 2 ) ( 6 ) . interestingly , the index finger is reduced to a mere stub ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) .
the golden angwantibo has a widespread but patchy distribution in the tropical forests of west africa , in cameroon , congo , gabon , equatorial guinea , angola and central african republic ( 1 ) ( 4 ) . it occurs south of the sanaga river in cameroon , and east as far as the congo and ubangui rivers in congo ( 7 ) .
…but much smaller primates called angwantibo s ( arctocebus calabarensis and a . aureus ) live only in the rainforests of west - central africa . they measure 24 cm ( 9 . 5 inches ) long and are yellowish in colour , with a long , thin snout . like the potto , they are tailless , but the third finger as well as the…
active mainly at night , the golden angwantibo sleeps by day in thick foliage or in the shelter of tree crevices . it moves through the trees on all fours , using a slow , deliberate , ‘hand - over - hand’ movement , and crosses between trees by stretching between terminal branches , rather than by leaping or jumping ( 2 ) ( 6 ) ( 7 ) . on the ground , the golden angwantibo shows a unique defensive behaviour . if threatened , it stands with limbs rigid , widely spaced and fully extended , and the head tucked into the chest . if touched , it may lunge at the attacker from between the legs , with a quick , slashing bite ( 4 ) . alternatively , when in the trees , it may simply roll into a ball while clinging tightly to a branch ( 2 ) ( 5 ) .
the golden angwantibo feeds mainly on insects and other invertebrates , particularly caterpillars , which it supplements with fruit ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 7 ) . it may even rear onto its hind legs and use the hands to catch moths in flight ( 2 ) ( 5 ) . the golden angwantibo eats many unpalatable and even poisonous invertebrates ( 4 ) , and is thought to have an unusually slow metabolism which may allow undesirable chemicals to be neutralised in the gut ( 6 ) . although mainly solitary , the golden angwantibo may occasionally meet with other individuals with whom its home range overlaps ( 5 ) ( 6 ) . most communication is through scent ( 4 ) ( 6 ) , particularly through urine marks ( 7 ) . the female gives birth twice a year , to a single infant ( 1 ) , after a gestation of between 131 and 136 days . births may occur at any time of year , but are most often recorded during the wet season ( 7 ) . the infant clings to the female’s belly for the first three to four months , after which it is weaned , and begins to follow the female or ride on her back . individuals become sexually mature at around eight to ten months and may live for up to thirteen years ( 2 ) .
the golden angwantibo is listed on appendix ii of the convention on international trade in endangered species ( cites ) , meaning international trade in the species should be carefully controlled ( 3 ) . it is also protected by law in gabon , and is listed under class b of the african convention , which only allows it to be legally hunted , killed or captured with special authorisation ( 1 ) ( 11 ) . it is presumed to occur in a number of the new national parks in gabon ( 1 ) , and its ability to live in secondary forest may help the golden angwantibo to survive in habitats that have been disturbed by humans ( 2 ) . however , the species is difficult to census thoroughly because of its nocturnal and secretive habits , and it has been understudied in the wild , meaning more research is needed to more fully understand the ecology and social organisation of this poorly known primate ( 10 ) and to better establish its true conservation status ( 1 ) .
the golden angwantibo inhabits moist evergreen , lowland forest , preferring areas with fallen trees or young secondary growth . it is generally found in the understorey , below five metres , and may also venture onto the forest floor in search of food . it avoids climbing higher than about 15 metres , where the risk of predation , competition with birds , and exposure to wind and sun is higher , and also avoids climbing larger branches which its small , narrow hands and feet are not suited to grasping ( 4 ) ( 7 ) .

justification : listed as least concern in view of its tolerance of some degree of habitat modification and since it persists quite well in secondary degraded forest . however , in eastern nigeria , there is some hunting pressure which if continues unabated may place this species in a higher category of threat .
this species is found in western equatorial africa , with a very patchy and localised distribution within the lowland rainforest block between the niger river and the sanaga river in nigeria and cameroon .
a cryptic species that is thought to be locally abundant within its patchy distribution . originally , they were particularly adapted to clearings in the forest and towards the forest edge .
confined to areas of very dense , low undergrowth with abundant lianas and vines within the understorey of primary , secondary , and coastal rainforest . this species particularly favours the growth that springs up in clearings , trees falls , and along forest edges . wherever it is already established , small - scale clearances , selective tree - felling , and road - making probably favour this species . in such areas it is likely to become abundant in thickets and patches of dense secondary growth . it feeds mainly on caterpillars ( which are found by smell ) , and also on beetles and fruits . this species is able to produce two young in a year .
major threats are habitat destruction from forestry and clearance for cultivation , as well as some hunting for meat in nigeria . this species will not be affected by low - level habitat disturbance , since it is able to inhabit secondary forests as long as dense undergrowth remains and inter - tree distance are not too great . however , broader clearances ( e . g . those made for plantations , clear - felling , and agriculture ) are likely to eliminate it because of its weak capacity to disperse .
this species is listed as class b under the african convention , and under appendix ii of cites . it is known to occur in cross river national park ( nigeria ) and korup national park ( cameroon ) . it probably occurs in a few others in the area , although its presence is not confirmed . further surveys are needed to determine its true conservation status .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
justification : listed as least concern as the species is relatively widespread in central africa , and there are no known major threats resulting in a significant population decline .
this species may occur from the sanaga river to the congo river / ubangi river , but with a very localized and patchy distribution . the range limits of this species are poorly known .
this cryptic species is considered rare in gabon , where densities of 2 individuals / km² were found in dense primary forest and 7 / km² in thickets in secondary forest . normal census methods are impossible because it hides its head and eyes at the least disturbance .
confined to vine tangles and areas with abundant young ( or slow - growing ) leafy stems in the understorey of moist evergreen , lowland rainforests . large vertical branches are never climbed because the small , narrow hands and feet of this species are adapted only to close around stems less than 6 cm in diameter . this species avoids climbing higher than 15 m ( it mostly lives below 5 m ) due to heightened competition from birds , less consistent insect resources , more exposure to wind , sun , and predators , and fewer thin - branched tangles to shelter in . it frequently descends to the forest floor for fallen fruits and invertebrates . caterpillars of all species are eaten , including hairy and distasteful species that are avoided by other insect - predators . the females give birth to one infant twice per year .
this species is too small and cryptic to face much danger from human predation . clear - felling and large - scale clearances are the only major threat to their habitat .
this species is protected by law in gabon . it is listed as class b under the african convention , and under appendix ii of cites . it is presumably in a number of the new national parks in gabon . this is a poorly known species in need of further research .
, are endemic in western equatorial africa , and are found in cameroon , equatorial guinea , nigeria , and zaire .
can be found in primary and secondary forests , where it prefers tree fall zones . this species also resides within forestry and agricultural plantations .
is adapted to undergrowth , foraging within the lower canopy of the forest . it will spend most of its time within 5 m of the ground .
can range from 266 to 465 grams . the head - body length ranges from 229 to 305 mm . this species has a reduced , nub - like tail that measures from 4 to 10 cm , along with a reduced index finger . the second digit on each toe is used as a grooming claw .
pelage coloration ranges from orange to yellow to brown on the dorsal side , with white or buff pelage on the ventral side . facial markings include a white stripe above the nose .
males mate polygynously , copulating with the females whose home ranges overlap their territories . a female signals to a male that she is ready to mate by suspending herself upside down from a branch . both male and female suspend themselves upside - down from a branch during copulation .
females have an estrous cycle of 36 to 45 days . gestation lasts between 131 and 136 days . they are capable of breeding more than one time per year , although details on interbirth intervals are not available .
the breeding season typically begins in the middle of the dry season and lasts until the start of the wet season . because of this , golden pottos can breed more than once per year . golden pottos copulate only at the end of the estrous cycle , when the female is about to ovulate . the female signals to the male that she is ready to mate by suspending herself upside down from a branch . both male and female suspend themselves upside - down from a branch during copulation .
females give birth to a single offspring . the young potto clings to the belly of the mother for about 4 months . young are weaned between three and four months of age , at which time they begin to ride on their mother ' s back . young leave the mother ' s home range around six months of age . they reach sexual maturity around 18 months .
breeding season breeding begins in the middle of the dry season and ends at the beginning of the wet season .
males are not known to provide parental care in this species . at birth , the young are able to cling to the mother ' s fur , and have their eyes open . they are not able to climb or walk well on their own . the female cares for the young , carrying the infant first on her belly and later on her back . females nurse their offspring for 3 to 4 months , and forage with them in the underbrush for another 2 months . at about 6 months of age , the young disperse .
in the wild , golden pottos can be expected to live anywhere from 12 to 15 years with an average life expectance of 13 years . when kept in captivity the lifespan of
males have home ranges which overlap the home ranges of 2 to 3 females . pottos are solitary animals who forage and sleep alone , although throughout the year , a male makes contact with females resident in his home range .
this species moves slowly and is a quadrupedal climber . while climbing , three of a golden potto’s limbs are always grasping for support while swinging from branch to branch . golden pottos are nocturnal and arboreal , sleeping within thick foliage cover . ( nowak , 1999 )
communication in this species has not been well described . vocalizations are recorded . in addition , the visual signal of a female positioning herself for copulation is important in breeding . presumably , as in other prosimians , there is scent marking of territories . tactile communication is important between mother and offspring , as well as between mates .
golden pottos are primarily insectivorous , eating mainly insects that are rejected by other insectivores . caterpillars are among the most common insects consumed by
. other insects consumed include beetles , ants , moths and crickets . before eating a caterpillar , golden pottos will rub the caterpillar in their hands to remove any hair the caterpillar may have . this prevents irritation from defensive hairs on the caterpillars . golden pottos will also eat fruit and gums .
this species tends to forage alone within the lower canopy or on the ground within the undergrowth . although golden pottos generally move slowly , they have been observed quickly rearing on their back legs in order to snatch moths from the air .
details on predation of these pottos are not available , although they presumably fall victim to small carnivores , and the standard nocturnal predators of equatorial africa .
is known to roll up into a ball when threatened , keeping the face under the armpit . if attacked , golden pottos will bite the predator on the snout , not letting go . infants cling to the mother if she appears alarmed . newborns are born with eyes open and can cling to their mothers ' fur or to tree branches . in order to avoid birds of prey , these primates rarely climb higher than 15 m . ( charles - donimique , 1977 )
golden pottos help to disperse seeds of the fruit they have eaten by defecation ( nowak , 1999 ) .
golden pottos are hunted for their meat by humans ( kingdon , 1997 ) .
is a cites appendix ii species , which means there are restrictions and guidelines pertaining to the trade and exploitation of this species . this species also faces habitat destruction as the rainforests are cut down for timber and to open up farmland . although these pottos are adapted to secondary vegetation , they are unable to disperse across unforested areas .

there are 10 species of small primates in this family . lorises are found in asia . pottos and angwantibos are found in africa . lorises , pottos and angwantibos have thick , wooly fur ; short or no tails ; and big , round eyes .
the primates in this family live in trees , but unlike other primates , they do not swing or leap from branch to branch . they slowly crawl around on tree branches .
they can crawl on the top of a branch , or hang upside down and crawl on the underside of a branch . lorises , pottos , and angwantibos are nocturnal . they spend the day resting in tree hollows or on tree branches . at night the slowly crawl around the tree branches searching for fruit and insects .
least concern near threatened vulnerable endangered critically endangered extinct in wild extinct status and range is taken from icun redlist . if no status is listed , there is not enough data to establish status .

leioproctus fulvescens is a species of bee native to the south island of new zealand .

adults are about 10 mm long with dense characteristically yellow to orange-brown hair ; this feature distinguishes them from other new zealand leioproctus species , which have white to cream hairs .

the bees fly primarily in the spring and summer , with the majority of individuals between november to march , though some have been observed as early as september .

the bees nest underground in a variety of soil types , including beach sand , salt flats , dry river banks , clay , garden soil , and compacted dirt and shingle roads ; nearly any soil type appears to be used so long as it is on relatively free of vegetation , has a relatively low level of moisture and a sunny aspect .

females prefer to build their nest tunnels in slightly sloping ground , and dig the main shaft anywhere from 100-500mm into the ground .

along the tunnel , there are often a number of side branches , each terminating in a single oval nesting chamber .

the chamber is lined with a cellophane-like substance which reduces the amount of moisture that can enter the cell , providing a protective chamber for the larvae to develop .

each chamber is provisioned with a ball of pollen and nectar , on top of which a single egg is laid .

once completed , the chamber is sealed up with packed earth .

females forage mainly on plants in the family asteraceae , such as gentiana corymbifera ( snow gentian ) , raoulia , and some of the white flowered hebes such as hebe subalpina .

they have also been observed foraging on introduced asters , such as yarrow and canada thistle .

leioproctus fulvescens

scientific illustration of new zealand native bee leioproctus fulvescens . one of the bees i ' m working with in my current research project .
leioproctus fulvescens , a native colletid of new zealand . now that i have access to the lab’s insect collection , i can finally get reference photos to create as many illustrations as i want .
they dig nest holes in the ground , and sometimes a nesting area riddled with bee holes gives the impression of a colony . a small pile of soil is the usual sign of individual nest tunnels . each species prefers a specific type of soil . for example , leioproctus fulvescens needs fine - grained soil , while leioproctus metallicus nests in coastal sand .
the most commonly seen native bees are 18 species of leioproctus . these bees are robust and hairy , looking similar to honeybees but smaller ( 5–12 millimetres long ) . all are black except for the south island species leioproctus fulvescens , which is covered with dense orange–yellow hair . they are often seen in summer carrying pollen on their back legs , like honeybees and bumblebees .
the yellow hairs are a key character of l . fulvescens . there are 18 leioproctus species in new zealand , but l . carinatifrons is not one of them , as it is native to australia . you might come to nz ? cool !
the south island species that is pictured above and below is the most colourful of our native bees , leioproctus fulvescens . although they have quite cosmopolitan tastes , members of the daisy family ( such as the olearia cymbifolia shown in these images ) are important sources of pollen for l . fulvescens . on a sunny day in the mackenzie basin , large numbers of this conspicuous bee can be viewed going about their business .
flax ( phormium spp . ) do not just extend their largesse towards our native birds ( who avidly feed upon their nectar ) , as shown by the leioproctus sp . pictured below , which was emerging from a phormium tenax flower in west auckland . it clearly displays the ' pollen pellets ' that bees collect on their hind legs as they harvest , a feature that is also evident in the photograph of leioproctus fulvescens above .
the final image shows an individual of leioproctus fulvescens visiting a celmisia gracilenta flower amidst degraded tussockland near the glenmore tarns . amidst all of the legitimate concern regarding the decline of honeybees throughout the world , it is also important to be conscious of maintaining healthy populations of other pollinators from our environments ( such as native bees , butterflies and new zealand ' s diverse and significant range of fly species ) .
oh man , this is quite detailed . not sure if this is what i will expect to see if my family does move to new zealand ( being their
native bee
. ) it amazes me how species that superficially look the same can be so different in minute ways . seems this bee someone told me was a new zealand native bee was actually leioproctus carinatifrons . ( is it possible for the fulvescens species not to have the orange - yellow hairs ? )
half - healed , half fresh , but man , am i super psyched to have wrapped up this tattoo on josh today . also a little sad ! it’s been so fun to work on ! new zealand and northern european native birds , plants , and insects . trees are pohutukawa , birch , beech , rowan ; birds are tui , kea , house swallow , and raven ; today added a magpie moth and two leioproctus fulvescens bees . hopefully i’ll snag some healed photos before he heads back to nz ! detail post after this .
ooh , thank you for clearing that up ! that ' s what i read about l . fulvescens as well , but i have not seen even a preserved specimen for myself . i ' m not very sure . we have friends ( and some relatives ) in australia , but a high school classmate of mine lives in nz . she ' s been inviting me to visit her for a while , now .

like wasps , bees may be solitary or social . they feed on nectar and pollen , and play an important role in the pollination and survival of many flowering plants . new zealand has 28 native and 13 introduced species of bee .
at least three native bee species have a basic social structure , a bit like the introduced honeybee and bumblebee . the rest are solitary , although they may make nests close together .
native bees pollinate many native plants . they are also widespread in kiwifruit and apple orchards and some vegetable crops , and may be important pollinators in horticulture .
the seven hylaeus species are 7–9 millimetres long , and slender . almost hairless , they are black with small yellow markings on the face and thorax . they make nests in blind tunnels in twigs and branches , or in old beetle holes in logs . they have no special pollen - carrying structure on the back legs , so carry pollen in the stomach .
the smallest ( 4–8 millimetres long ) and most easily overlooked native bees are four species of lasioglossum . they are black or greenish , only moderately hairy , and nest in the soil . at least one species , lasioglossum sordidum , has adapted well to modified habitats . its nests are often found along fencelines , on horticultural land sprayed bare with herbicides , and on stopbanks and ditch sides above water level .

thank you ! there are lots of details in tiny things , and i love them .
most of our native bees don ' t quite match the perception of how a bee should look or behave . they do not form hives or live in swarms ; they generally live in burrows within the ground ; and many are relatively small and unassuming . however , they are fascinating members of our ecologies , and deserving of our attention ( particularly as they play a role in the pollination of a great number of plant species , both native and exotic ) .
the other bee that is pictured below , which i presumed to be a species of lasioglossum , was one of many native pollinators ( including a striking species of hoverfly ) that were making the most of hebe parviflora ' s abundant flowering .
