Johan Christian Fabricius
Johan Christian Fabricius (7 January 1745 – 3 March 1808) was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification. Biography Johan Christian Fabricius was born on 7 January 1745 at Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig, where his father was a doctor. He studied at the gymnasium at Altona and entered the University of Copenhagen in 1762. Later the same year he travelled together with his friend and relative Johan Zoëga to Uppsala, where he studied under Carl Linnaeus for two years. On his return, he started work on his , which was finally published in 1775. Throughout this time, he remained dependent on subsidies from his father, who worked as a consultant at Frederiks Hospita ...

Elachista Gleichenella Larva
''Elachista'' is a genus of gelechioid moths described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1833. It is the type genus of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae). This family is sometimes (in particular in older sources) circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to ''Oecophora'' than to ''Elachista'' and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here. These grass-miners are very small moths with the "feathery" hindwings characteristic of their family. They are essentially found worldwide, except in very cold places and on some oceanic islands; as usual for Gelechioidea, they are most common in the Palearctic however. They usually have at least one, sometimes as many as three light bands running from leading to trailing edge of their forewing uppersides. Some species, however, have upper forewings that are ...

Luzula Sylvatica
''Luzula sylvatica'', commonly known as greater wood-rush or great wood-rush, is a perennial flowering plant in the rush family Juncaceae. Description ''Luzula sylvatica'' is the largest woodrush, with stems high. It forms clumps of bright green leaves which are glossy, flat, linear, about in length and wide; its leaves remain green or at least greenish throughout winter. The leaves can also help to differentiate the plant from similar-looking plants in the closely related genus ''Juncus'', as scattered white hairs can be found along the leaf edges. Its tepals are , with flowers which grow in groups of 3 or 4. From mid-spring to summer, It produces flowers in open panicles which are very small, chestnut-brown in colour and can be found in dense and lax clusters. It is sometimes stoloniferous. ''Luzula sylvatica'' is both anemophilous and entomophilous, in that it can be pollinated by either wind or insect. ''L. sylvaticas fruit is a 3-valved capsule containing three oblo ...

Luzula Pilosa
''Luzula pilosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the rush family Juncaceae with the common name hairy wood-rush. The plant is native to northern Europe and western Asia. Description ''Luzula pilosa'' is a short, tufted, grass-like perennial herb. The leaves are blunt, about 4mm wide, the leaf margins fringed with long fine hairs. In North America the common name "hairy wood rush" is given to a similar but different species, ''Luzula acuminata''. Distribution It prefers moist but well-drained, somewhat acidic soils, but is not confined to them. It avoids competition, and in lowland locations occurs among leaf litter or moss. It is native to Europe and western Asia. The geographical distribution of the native range includes the British Isles, northern Europe, largely avoiding the Mediterranean, and north-western Asia. It also occurs in the Caucasus. References External linksUSDA Plants profile of ''Luzula acuminata'' ssp.

Carex Sylvatica
''Carex sylvatica'' is a species of sedge found in deciduous woodlands across Europe. It typically reaches tall, and has an inflorescence made up of 3–5 pendent female spikes and a single male spike.
