Goliath Stick Insect Facts Most notably, the truly remarkable Goliath Stick Insect bears a common name that’s completely appropriate for it.

European Earwig Facts Despite the rather misleading nature of its common name, the European Earwig actually currently inhabits a much larger portion of the world than just Europe.

Cecropia Moth Facts This stunning variety of Lepidoptera goes by a relatively simple common name. That’s the unflattering term of Cecropia Moth. The scientific name for it, meanwhile, remains that of the tongue-twisting term of Hyalophora cecropia. Regardless of which name one chooses to use to refer to it, though, one fact stands out. That’s […]
Pacific Sea Nettle Facts Firstly, the Pacific Sea Nettle remains an ocean-dwelling species which many mistakenly consider dangerous.
