Eupholidoptera chabrieri is a species of katydid belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae.
These crickets are mainly present in France, southern Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia and in Greece. [1] They can be encountered in forest edges, clearings, thickets and shrubs.
The adults reach 20–30 millimetres (0.79–1.18 in) of length. The basic coloration of the body varies from green to light green and yellow green. The top of the head is orange, with a few black spots in the front.
The compound eyes are pale brown. The antennae are longer than the body. The flat, extended pronotum shows a black band, with an orange-yellow lateral contour. The abdomen is green and quite thick, with a yellow bottom and a black last segment. This species is remarkably long-legged, with a striking pattern of black spots and drawings and small spines on the hind legs.
In the females the tiny dark brown wings are partially hidden under the pronotum, while the males have very short tegmina. The females have a slightly curved ovipositor, which is somewhat shorter than the body.
Adults can be found from July through September. This species start breeding in July. Only eggs overwinter, hatching in next April. The song of these crickets consists of short, high-frequency single sounds, usually presented in series at a distance of a few seconds.

The spotted turtle, the only species of the genus Clemmys, is a small, semi-aquatic turtle that reaches a carapace length of 8–12 cm (3.1–4.7 in) upon adulthood. Their broad, smooth, low dark-colored upper shell, or carapace, ranges in its exact colour from black to a bluish black with a number of tiny yellow round spots. The spotting patterning extends from the head, to the neck and out onto the limbs. Sexually mature males have a concave plastron and a long, thick tail. By contrast, sexually mature females possess a flat plastron and have a tail that is noticeably shorter and thinner than that of mature males. Mature males also have a dark iris and face; females typically have a yellow or orange iris and a similarly coloured face that is distinctly lighter than the males'. Juveniles appear female-like in this regard, and at maturity males begin to develop darker features.
