there are no published data on territorial defense , maintenance , or home range size for elegant crested - tinamou .
a bioclimatic analysis of the distributions of the two species of eudromia suggested that elegant crested - tinamou occupies cooler and drier sites than does its sister species , quebracho crested - tinamou ( eudromia formosa ) .
range : the elegant crested - tinamou is found in southern s america , from nw argentina to s argentina and s chile .
with its compact build and dappled brown plumage , the elegant crested tinamou is equipped for living on the ground in open grasslands .
the elegant crested - tinamou is probably sedentary in its range , but during winter , the groups move over large areas in search of food .

elegant crested - tinamou has declined in some parts of its range , due to hunting pressure , but its overall geographic range has not undergone substantial changes .
eudromia is a genus of birds in the tinamou family . this genus comprises two crested members of this south american family .
elegant crested - tinamous usually seek shelter in shade during the middle of the day , where birds rest or dust bathe . during rest periods elegant crested - tinamous also often sun themselves for short periods before returning again to the shade ( bohl 1970 ) .
eggs from crested - tinamou nests also are harvested by humans , both for personal consumption and for market ( bohl 1970 ) .
habitat / range : the elegant crested tinamou prefers dry grasslands and open forests . they are ground - dwelling birds , but their habitats can range from varying elevations from sea level up to 1 . 5 miles above sea level .
diet : the elegant crested - tinamou feeds on plant matter such as grain , fruits , leaves and buds during winter , but in summer , it becomes mostly insectivorous , taking insects of several species by walking about on the ground .
the brushland tinamou , nothoprocta cinerascens , is a type of tinamou commonly found in high altitude dry shrubland in subtropical and tropical regions of southern south america .
potential predators of elegant crested - tinamou include foxes , skunks , opossums , armadillos , hawks , falcons and owls ( bohl 1970 ) . bohl ( 1970 ) reported observations of a chimango caracara ( milvago chimango ) eating an egg of the tinamou , and of a southern caracara ( caracara plancus ) attacking an adult .
zoo new england participates in the elegant crested tinamou species survival plan . by sharing research and knowledge , participating institutions work together to establish guidelines that best ensure the health of captive populations , and with success , the survival of otherwise extinct species .
description : the elegant crested - tinamou is a partridge - like bird which prefers running instead flying to escape predators . unlike the phasianidae , it lacks the hind toe and has only three toes . this is an adaptation to its usual terrestrial behaviour .

nonbreeding elegant crested - tinamous frequently form flocks , which may number up to 30 - 40 ( rarely even up to 100 ) birds ( bohl 1970 , gallardo 1984 ) .
behaviour : the elegant crested - tinamou is omnivorous . during winter , it feeds mainly on plant matter , grain , fruits , leaves and buds . during summer , it also takes several insect species . it may ingest pebbles to help in digesting the vegetal food .
brownlar kibar ve mutlu bir ailedir . - the browns are an elegant and happy family .
elegant crested - tinamou females are polyandrous and the males are polygynous ( bohl 1970 ) . males establish calling areas , within which the male digs a nest bowl ; females , in groups of two or three , visit the calling male for copulation and egg laying ( bohl 1970 ) .
tasty pickings… while feeding , a crested tinamou remains alert , but relies on its dappled plumage to hide it . enemy approaching… a pampas cat approaches . the tinamou freezes , trying to look more like a shrub than a bird . on the run… the cat is not fooled — it makes its move . the tinamou runs , calling to warn other birds of the danger . flight to freedom as the cat pounces , the tinamou bursts into the air , leaving the startled cat behind .
newly hatched chicks of elegant crested - tinamous have thin peeping calls . the vocalizations are similar to those of adults by the age of 20 weeks , but less strong and rich ( bohl 1970 ) .

the song of elegant crested - tinamou is described as
a low mournful whistle given slowly . . . wheet whee whee
( wetmore 1926 ) , and as
three melancholy whistles , each slightly lower in pitch than the preceding and somewhat fainter in volume , phweee phuuu wuu
( jaramillo 2003 ) .
protection / threats / status : the elegant crested - tinamou is widespread and relatively common throughout the range . but hunting pressure and reduction of the range have involved declines in some populations . predation by mammals and raptors is an important threat too . however , the species is currently evaluated as least concern by birdlife international .
like the elegant crested tinamou , the himalayan monal pheasant ( lophophorus impejanus ) has a broad diet of plant and animal matter but the pheasant forages in steep , wooded valleys , whereas the tinamou keeps to lowland grasslands . the male pheasant ( left ) has a spur on the back of each leg , which he is thought to use against rivals . his bright plumage includes a crest , which he flaunts to attract a mate . the female has much more subdued plumage . the dull - brown coloring hides her— and the male tinamou — from predators , as each incubates himalayan ^ i its egg clutches in deep undergrowth . elegant monal pheasant
appearance : the elegant crested tinamou is a dull grey - colored bird with a dark streaking pattern in its plumage and a long crest with an upward pointing tip . these compact birds have short wings and slender heads . they have three strong forward - facing toes , and they lack a hind toe typically found on other birds .

other vocalizations of elegant crested - tinamou include
guttural , pumping , sharp whistles , nasal or foghorn - like , whistle - warbles , twittering , cat meowing or whining types
( bohl 1970 ) . guttural , pumping , nasal , and whistle calls are used by the female in acts of dominance over other birds , both against other females and agains males ( bohl 1970 ) .
elegant crested - tinamous can cover large distances in search of food , but where food is prevalent may remain in a small area day after day . as is typical of tinamous , these birds prefer to walk , and usually take flight only when startled at close range .

habitat : the elegant crested - tinamou frequents arid and semi - arid steppes , grassland , open woodland , dry savannah , bare hills with scattered patches of bushes and cultivated areas . this species can be seen from sea - level up to 2500 metres of elevation locally . in patagonia , it occurs mostly in sheltered valleys . in more temperate regions , it is found in sandy thorn scrub and low bushes .
flight : the elegant crested - tinamou is a poor flier . due to the short wings and tail , if the bird loses control at take - off , it may fly into obstacles such as branches , wires or walls , which can have fatal consequences . they normally fly only short - distances , about 500 metres , before to land again . in steppes , they glide with interspersed flaps , recalling partridges .
these tinamous forage most actively early in the morning and again in late afternoon , although foraging occupies a greater part of the day during the winter months . at midday , when not foraging , elegant crested - tinamous often seek shade and rest or dust bathe ( bohl 1970 ) .
elegant crested - tinamous fly rapidly , within 3 - 6 m of the ground , and in a direct line ( wetmore 1926 , bohl 1970 ) . bouts of rapid wingbeats are interspersed with glides ( wetmore 1926 ) . the flight distance is from 30 - 270 m ( bohl 1970 ) .
eudromia elegans is closely related to eudromia formosa ( quebracho crested - tinamou ) , but these two species are parapatric or perhaps narrowly sympatric in salta , argentina ( eisenmann in meyer de schauensee 1966 , banks 1977 ) . short ( 1975 ) considered the two species of eudromia to constitute a superspecies .
elegant crested - tinamous are terrestrial . in addition to gleaning food from the ground , they also jump up to take leaves , flowers , and fruit ( bohl 1970 ) . these tinamous do not scratch the ground in search of food ( as do many species of gallinaceous birds ) ( bohl 1970 ) .

the brushland tinamou is classified as least concern . does not qualify for a more at risk category . widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category .
the sound of the beating wings can be heard when the tinamou is flushed at close range ( bohl 1970 ) . wetmore ( 1926 ) described this sound
a roar of wings
, although hudson ( 1928 ) commented that this sound was not as loud as in red - winged tinamou ( rhynchotus rufescens ) .
mating / reproduction : the breeding season of the elegant crested tinamou takes place from july to november , with most egg laying occurring in october . males build nests and perform a mating call , and multiple females mate with multiple males . she then deposits her eggs in the males’ nests . females often lay up to 40 eggs per season spread out over multiple nests . males incubate up to nine eggs for 20 days , and chicks leave the nest within a day . they reach sexual maturity in a year .
tinamous are paleognaths related to the flightless ratites . they are probably close in appearance to the flying ancestors of the ratites . unlike other ratites , tinamous can fly , although in general , they are not strong fliers . eudromia is a genus of birds in the tinamou family . this genus comprises two crested members of this south american family .
elegant crested - tinamous are extremely wary where they are hunted . when alarmed , these tinamous may stand very erect , and then retreat to cover ; walk behind vegetation and peer around the cover ; flatten itself on the ground ; or bow the head down almost to the level of the feet and walking or slink away ( bohl 1970 ) .
reproduction : the breeding season occurs between june and august - november according to the range . in this species , polyandry and / or polygyny are usual . the elegant crested - tinamou nests on the ground . the nest is made with plant material , often sheltered by vegetation . the female lays 5 - 6 green eggs , shiny like porcelain . the male incubates during 20 - 21 days and raises the young . the chicks are precocial and leave the nest immediately after hatching . a second or replacement brood may be produced .

elegant crested - tinamous roost on the ground . in patagonia , bohl ( 1970 ) found roosts primarily on the north side of low brush or grass clumps , apparently for protection against the strong southern winds . the roost bowl is dug with its feet , the the bird move continuously in a circling motion while the feet kick dirt to the edges , forming a bowl ( bohl 1970 ) .
this subspecies
has large spots dorsally and extremely wide bars on the breast . the dorsal background coloration is grayish brown as in numida to the south rather than the rich brown of formosa [ quebracho crested - tinamou ] and in contrast to the sandy brown of riojana and intermedia
( banks 1977 ) . this is the population that was incorrectly identified as formosa by earlier authors ( paters 1931 , hellmayr and conover 1942 , conover 1950 ) .
brushland tinamou , nothoprocta cinerascens , ” bulletin of the american museum of natural history , 127 : 271–314 ( 1964 ) , a study of species that inhabit the lowlands east of the andes in northern argentina , living in thorn woods—one of the few comprehensive life histories of the tinamous ; w . beebe , “the variegated tinamou , crypturus variegatus variegatus ( gmeln ) , ” zoologica , 6 : 195–227 ( 1925 ) ; k . c . parkes and g . a . clark , jr . more
• there are 45 species of tinamou divided into 2 subfamilies within the family tinamidae . all are ground - dwelling and are found only within central and south america . however , the subfamily tinaminae contains forest dwellers , whereas the subfamily rhynchotinae holds grassland species . tinamous are in the order tinamiformes — one of i the oldest bird orders .
the phrase seems to be a variation on a polite rejoinder that was once quite widely known and is still around . a host might ask if you have had enough to eat . rather than just say that you had had enough , being fearful that so bald a statement might be taken as unrefined or ill - bred , you might instead say , “i’ve had an elegant sufficiency”
as specialist ground dwellers , tinamous exploit almost every habitat in central and south america . each species has nesting and feeding habits that help reduce competition . in the north of their range , the birds favor dense forest , while farther south they inhabit open grassland and savannah woodland . the puna tinamou is found in the andes at altitudes of up to 17 , 500′ . a earthbound tinamous spend almost all their lives on ground .
a songs of the forest calls are simple , high - pitched and melodious . forest species are solitary , skulking in dense undergrowth , but grassland tinamous , such as the spotted nothura , live in groups of 20 - 30 birds . in winter , up to 100 may gather traveling widely to find food . the more birds in the flock , the more likely they are to locate food — and spot predators . should an enemy approach , the birds utter harsh alarm calls to warn each other . if surprised by a predator , the tinamou bursts from cover , flying swiftly to another hiding place . but it cannot sustain its flight for long and , if caught in open areas , may dart into any available burrow until the danger has passed . the solitary tinamou is one of many forest species that roost in trees to avoid danger a bigger bite tinamous may eat mice and even small snakes .
both male and female tinamous mate several times with different partners to ensure large numbers of healthy chicks . the male scrapes out a rudimentary nest on the ground and lines it with dry leaves , grass or turf . he then attracts females with calls and mates with any that approach . each female abandons her eggs after laying them , and then searches for other mates . the male remains motionless while incubating the eggs , relying on his dull plumage to provide camouflage . when he leaves the nest to feed , he covers the eggs with leaves and feathers . tinamou chicks feed themselves within hours of hatching , but their father helps by dropping food nearby . they mature quickly and can make short , clumsy flights within a few days . nothing fancy males court mates with a simple display .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : although still abundant in remoter parts of its range , the species has declined appreciably in many parts of its range owing to hunting pressure and a reduction in suitable habitat . the species is also predated upon by a variety of mammalian and avian predators ( del hoyo et al . 1992 ) .

the adult has brownish cryptic plumage . upperparts and neck are finely streaked and vermiculated blackish to brown over the white background . it has short wings and tail .
on the underparts , foreneck and breast are streaked dark , becoming finely barred on lower breast , upper belly , flanks and undertail - coverts . belly , vent and thighs are buffy - white .
the head shows a long blackish crest on the rear crown , usually carried backwards . the head is similar to the upperparts , but we can see two conspicuous white stripes , one from above the eye , through the ear - coverts to the lower head sides , and the other is a malar stripe . chin and throat are usually white . the bill is blackish . the eyes are brown . legs and three - toed feet are pale bluish .
both sexes are similar . the juvenile has weak , short crest . its plumage is greyish with dark streaks above , and whitish underparts .
we can find 10 subspecies in three groups from north to south . the northern races have pale plumage ( race “albida” ) , and intermediate and darker birds occur further south with the darkest “multiguttata” . the race “patagonica” here displayed is the largest with a weight of 600 - 800 grams .
these birds are very terrestrial , often seen walking or running on the ground . they are gregarious and often occur in large flocks of 50 - 100 adults , but usually , they forage in smaller groups . they wander widely in search of food . they spend the night at regular roost - sites . they usually perform regular dust - bathing in order to remove parasites from their plumage .
if threatened , the bird crouches down or stretches up the neck in the air . it usually avoids taking off and prefers to run off . it hides under a bush or in thick grass , taking advantage of its cryptic plumage .
tinamous are territorial . they call within the boundaries of their area and the neighbours answer . feet and wings are used as weapons against intruders .
some displays are observed , as well in courting as intimidation . the bird lowers the breast to the ground with the neck stretched forwards , and fluffs up the lower back and rump feathers in order to appear larger than it is really . they nest on the ground .
this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .

diet : this species is omnivorous and forages on the ground for seeds , shoots , leaves , fruits and insects .
behavior : these birds travel in small groups of six to 30 individuals , but multiple groups can come together to form a group of over 50 individuals . during the winter months , these groups will travel great distances to find food . during times when food is plentiful , they stick to a smaller area . they’re not skilled at flying and can only sustain flight for short bursts ; they typically prefer to run or hide to escape predators .

similar to riojana ,
but much darker and grayer dorsally , with narrower bars on the chest and a grayer neck
( banks 1977 ) .
occurs in northwestern argentina in southern santiago del estero , northernmost córdoba , and possibly in adjacent tucumán , catamarca , and santa fe .
occurs in western argentina in la rioja ( banks 1977 , blake 1979 ) .
larger and paler than races to the south . the ventral bars are mainly restricted to the chest , only sporadically appearing in the lower flank feathers . browner , less gray , than intermedia
( banks 1977 ) .
subspecies albida is
very pale above , with buffy to whitish spotting ; unbarred abdominal area large and pale , rufescent buff to buffy white
( banks 1977 ) .
occurs west central argentina in north central mendoza ( banks 1977 , blake 1979 ) .
this subspecies
differs from e . e . albida to the north by being darker both above and below ; ventral barring more extensive and ground color more rufescent . differs from devia to the south in being darker below with more extensive barring on the lower flanks and abdomen , and darker and browner above , with the neck brown rather than gray . from elegans , wetmorei differs in the browner ground color of the breast , brown rather than grayish neck . paler than numida ventrally , with heavier shaft streaking on breast feathers
( banks 1977 ) . subspecies wetmorei was considered a synonym of nominate elegans by navas and bo ( 1981 ) , but was recognized by dickinson and remsen ( 2013 ) .
occurs in western argentina in western neuquén and probably in southwestern mendoza ( banks 1977 ) .
upper parts browner and buffier than patagonica , elegans , and multiguttata ; paler and less heavily barred below than these races and numida , with a larger unbarred abdominal area . neck grayer than in [ wetmorei ] . . . and abdomen less heavily barred
( banks 1977 ) .
occurs in central argentina in central and eastern la pampa , southern córdoba , southeastern mendoza , and probably southern san luis ( banks 1977 , blake 1979 ) .
subspecies numida is
light brown dorsally , lighter than in multiguttata and less gray than elegans ; similar to multiguttata in the reduction of shaft stripes of feathers of the neck , mantle , and chest , but neck paler and grayer than that form . lighter , more buffy below than multiguttata , but abdomen darker than elegans . darker and browner above , and darker below than populations to the northwest
( banks 1977 ) . subspecies numida was considered a synonym of nominate elegans by navas and bo ( 1981 ) , but was recognized by dickinson and remsen ( 2013 ) .
occurs in east central argentina in buenos aires north of the río colorado , and in extreme southeastern la pampa .
this is
the darkest brown dorsally of the races , with reduced shaft stripes on feathers of the neck , mantle , and chest . underparts dark , heavily barred
( banks 1977 ) .
occurs in south central argentina from eastern neuquén south hrough most of río negro and in extreme southern buenos aires ( banks 1977 , blake 1979 ) .
this subspecies is
light brownish - gray dorsally , lighter and grayer than multiguttata , browner than patagonica ; grayer than forms to the northwest , with abdomen more heavily barred
( banks 1977 ) .
occurs in southern argentina in southern neuquén and southwestern río negro south through chubut and santa cruz , argentina , and in adjacent chile .
subspecies patagonica is
dark olive gray dorsally , with prominent dark shaft streaks on feathers of the foreneck and chest . the shaft streaks of feathers of the hindneck are also more prominent than in other forms , and the ventral surface is more heavily and extensively barred
( banks 1977 ) .
monophyly of the genus eudromia is well - supported by analyses of both morphological and genetic characters ( bertelli et al 2002 , bertelli and porzecanski 2004 ) . eudromia is sister to tinamotis ( bertelli et al 2002 , bertelli and porzecanski 2004 ) .
in argentina breeding is reported from september into march , a broad span that perhaps the rearing of two broods ( gallardo 1984 ) , although bohl ( 1970 ) found that the greatest number of nests hatched young from late november into january .
nests are a shallow bowl , placed under low bushes , grass clumps or weeds , or at the base of a tree . the bowl is dug with the feet , as the bird turns the body and kicks dirt out ; additionally , a few feathers , twigs or other dry material often are pulled into the nest , by both males and females ( bohl 1970 ) .
the eggs are apple green color , glossy , and unmarked . mean egg dimensions are 53 . 4 x 38 . 0 mm , with a mass of 32 to 52 g ( bohl 1970 ) . in captivitiy a single female may lay 30 to 40 eggs during a season . per nest , clutch size varies from five to 16 eggs ; nests with more than 6 eggs per clutch may contain eggs from two or more females . eggs are laid usually in the early morning ( bohl 1970 , gallardo 1984 ) .
incubation begins after five or six eggs are laid . only the male incubates . when he is not on the nest , he covers the eggs lightly with feathers , twigs or leaves . brood patch appears during incubation and the male continually carries or pulls feathers , twigs , or leaves to the nest edge , covering the eggs lightly when he is off for feeding . incubation takes 20 - 21 days ( bohl 1970 ) .
only the male provides partental care . the young leave the nest shortly after hatching , but remain with the male for a considerable period of time , becoming independent by three to four months of age ( bohl 1970 ) .

: arid and semi - arid grassland , dry savanna , open woodland , dry andean steppes , bare hills with isolated patches of bushes ( e . g . larrea ) , and cultivated areas . they are found at 2500 m altitude down to sea level . in patagonia they prefer sheltered valleys whereas in other temperate zones , they seek out sandy areas with thorn scrub and low evergreen bushes ( e . g . verbena tridentata ) .
: they are omnivorous . plant matter includes small fruits and seeds from the ground or from plants they can reach from the ground . they also eat opening buds , tender leaves , blossoms , or even roots . for variety , they catch insects , larvae , worms , and mollusks . they tend to be more insectivorous in summertime when that type of food is in abundance and become herbivorous during the winter . they swallow pebbles to help aid in breaking down food .
: tinamous ( tinamidae ) are a primitive bird family that are considered closely related to the ancestral group of ratites ( flightless birds ) . modern birds have a ridge down the center of the sternum ( breastbone ) where the flight muscles are anchored . tinamous do not have a ridge on the sternum . since the tinamous have short wings and a flat sternum with less strong or efficient muscles , their capacity for flight is limited . they are capable of taking off fast when approached by predators but cannot fly far . therefore , they spend most of their time on the ground , particularly when roosting . during winter , they move in small groups of 6 to 30 birds over a fairly large area when food is scarce , whereas in summer time , they tend to stay in a much smaller area when food is plentiful . in patagonia they may invade irrigated plantations such as alfalfa .
: globally , they are not threatened but populations have declined appreciably due to hunting and habitat destruction . they are still abundant in remote areas . their principal predators , other than man , are skunks , foxes , wild cats and raptors , such as the red - backed hawk .
: chopped romaine lettuce , chopped mixed fruit , medium crickets , mealworms , ratite pellets , exotic bird vitamins / minerals , and oyster shell grit .

lecithocera concinna is a moth in the lecithoceridae family .

it was described by turner in 1919 .

it is found in australia , where it has been recorded from queensland .

the wingspan is about 12 mm .

the forewings are pale ochreous-grey with the discal dots blackish , the first at one-fourth , the second before two-thirds and the plical obsolete .

there is a terminal series of blackish dots .

the hindwings are pale ochreous-grey .

lecithocera concinna

two other threatened mammals are the narbalek petrogale concinna and the rock ringtail possum pseudocheirus dahli .
it is a rare species , which i have named carpophaga concinna , and is found only in a few small islands , where , however , it abounds .
the invertebrate fauna includes several alpine grasshoppers with unusual adaptations to the cold climate including the mountain spotted grasshopper ( monistria concinna ) and alpine thermocolor grasshopper ( kosciuscola tristis ) .
of all the birds of lombock , however , i sought most after the beautiful ground thrushes ( pitta concinna ) , and always thought myself lucky if i obtained one .
algebraic analysis halley de - scribes as brevissima simul perspicua ( “the shortest and clearest” ) ; synthesis , by contrast , is concinna et minime operosa ( “elegant and easier” ) .
fauna biodiversity is relatively unknown , but includes a few endemic subspecies such as the burrowing owl ( athene cunicularia tolimae ) , tropical bobwhite ( colinus cristatus leucotis ) , and euphonia ( euphonia concinna ) .
the most remarkable is a fine and very handsome fruit - pigeon , carpophaga concinna , which feeds upon the nutmegs , or rather on the mace , and whose loud booming note is to be continually heard .
there are several endemic areas within this ecoregion ; the upper magdalena , in the huila territory , with species of birds such as athene cunicularia tolimae or euphonia concinna , and the cattleya trianaei , the national flower of colombia .
the islands , peninsulas and gulfs provide a refuge for nine relict or endemic species : pygopodids aclys concinna major , aprasia haroldi and pletholax gracilis edelensis , skinks ctenotus youngsoni , c . zastictus , egernia stokessi aethiops , lerista maculosa and menetia amaura .
very little is known about the biodiversity of this region ; endemic species are : the burrowing owl ( athene cunicularia tolimae ) , the tropical bobwhite ( colinus cristatus leucotis ) , the euphonia euphonia concinna , the tropical cottontail rabbit ( sylvilagus floridanus purgatus ) and the national flower of colombia , the christmas orchid cattleya trianaei .
the adult moths of this species have wings that are pale brown , with two black dots near the middle of each forewing . the wingspan is about 1 cm .

the lecithoceridae is predominantly and old world moth family that is tropical or subtropical in its distribution . these tiny moths are related to the gelechiidae . in fact , it was included in that family for years . some rather technical characters have been used to continue to keep the family separate from the gelechiidae . about 6 genera and some 45 species are known from australia . we are fortunate to have a number in our area . some are drab , others much more colourful . most perch in a very characteristic position . adults are usually nocturnal . the larval habits are generally unknown but some have been reared from collections of leaf litter and grass tussocks .
these are small moths . the squares in the light sheet are approximately 1mm . here are a few examples .
this is the most gaudy example of the family in the eastern tropics . it seems to be active during the day , displaying itself in the open while the other species adopt a characteristic stance and remain motionless during the day unless disturbed .
david and family moved to kuranda , queensland in 2002 , following retirement from csiro canberra , australia . david , barbara and an assortment of wildlife live in a rainforest setting . it is their first experience living in the tropics . david ' s major interest is entomology . he continues research in the orthopteroid insects and is keenly interested in the biology of the rainforest . this blog is a narrative of observations made in and around kuranda . and remember to see more insects go to : urltoken and proceed to the
