$The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent. \nIn Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.\nDistribution:\nRed squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year round source of food. In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels (source Wikipedia). \n\nIn the Netherlands this Species is quite common in Forests and Parks.$

$Cortodera humeralis is a species of longhorn beetle in the Cerambycidae family.\nCharacteristics:\nThe beetles become 8 to 11 millimeters long and have a variable body coloration. A dark color variant occurs, the elytra of which are black or brown in color and each has two, rarely only one yellowish spot on the shoulder. The light colour variant has yellow-brown elytra, with a dark elytra seam. \nOccurrence and way of life:\nThey are found in large parts of Europe, but are absent in northern Europe and the British Isles. They inhabit deciduous forests and occur in May and June. Adults are often found sitting on bushes or flowering oaks. The larvae develop in deadwood in soil litter, in fungal fallen wood and also in dead, near-surface roots of deciduous trees (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a long weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2006.$
