A tortoiseshell turtle is not actually a specific species of turtle but rather a term used to describe a turtles shell pattern that has a color palette of yellow, brown, black, or amber. These markings usually look marbled or spotted. The term is most commonly associated with sea turtles especially the hawksbill turtle which is known for its bold pattern. However, the term isn’t a formal category in reptile taxonomy but a descriptive term for a type of coloring.

Electric(al) devices are devices that functionally rely on electric energy (AC or DC) to drive their core parts (electric motors, transformers, lighting, rechargeable batteries, control electronics). They can be contrasted with traditional mechanical devices which depend on different power sources like fuels or human physical strength. Electronic devices are a specialized kind of electrical devices in which electric power is predominantly used for data processing rather than the generation of mechanical forces. To better differentiate between both classes, electric devices that emphasize physical work are also called electromechanical. Mechatronics accentuates the intersection of both fields.
Together, electronic and electric devices, their development, maintenance, and power supply comprise the subject of electrical engineering.
The majority of electric devices in households is stationary and — due to their considerable power consumption — relies on electrical installation, especially electric outlets instead of small electric generators, batteries, rechargeable or not.Due to their dependence on electric power sources, in general well-evolved power grids, electric devices and their power consumption pattern have moved into the focus of smart metering.

A springtail is a type of small, wingless insect in the order Collembola that is named for its unique tail mechanism that allows it to jump or spring in the air as a form of escape or transportation. They are omnivorous, feeding primarily on decaying plants and fungi and are found in a variety of habitats including soil, leaf litter, and snowfields. They play an important role in soil ecosystems as they help with decomposition and nutrient cycling.
