Blanket Octopus Facts The Blanket Octopus, or Tremoctopus, forms a genus of pelagic cephalopods. Also, the genus contains four currently known species that occupy surface to mid-waters in subtropical and tropical oceans. The common name of the breathtaking creature, understandably, occurs due to the long transparent webs it develops. Further, these connect the dorsal and […]Read More
Flamingo Tongue Snail Facts The descriptive term of Flamingo Tongue Snail serves as the accepted common name for a remarkable variety of sea snail. This marvel of Nature also goes by another name, however. Among researchers, it’s known by the name Cyphoma gibbosum. Regardless of which name one uses, it remains a most fascinating creature.

Mitchell’s Satyr Butterfly Facts The Mitchell’s Satyr Butterfly represents a highly endangered species of insect. It originally evolved as endemic to a very restricted region comprising four states in the United States. These consisted of Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, and Indiana.

Limpet Facts The Limpet represents a rather extensive order of aquatic snail. A few species dwell in freshwater, but the majority evolved as ocean-dwelling.

Lesser Brown Scorpion Facts Firstly, Lesser Brown Scorpion serves as the common name for a truly impressive looking yet basically harmless variety of scorpion. It has now spread far beyond its original endemic range. Experts believe that this has occurred primarily due to the inadvertent actions of humans. This happened primarily through the exporting of […]
Flower Hat Jellyfish Facts First of all, the highly descriptive term of Flower Hat Jellyfish serves as the common name for the visually stunning Olindias formosus. However, despite its name and incredible appearance, this creature does not qualify as a true variety of jellyfish. That’s due to the fact that this truly stunning creature actually […]
Velella is the common name of a specific genus of sea creature. There is only one known species within the genus and is a free-floating hydrozoan. They live on the surface of the ocean. This animal is endemic to virtually all the seas and oceans of the world. Just as with the jellyfish, each Velella is, […]

The Ornithoptera Chimaera is an insect that has no common name. This beautiful butterfly lists as a member of the birdwing family and was first identified in 1906. The discovery was made by the renowned Walter Rothschild (who, ironically, was a zoologist). The IUCN has only listed this Lepidoptera as Near Threatened due to insufficient information […]
Armhook Squid Facts Firstly, Armhook Squid is the collective common name of an entire family of squid. Furthermore, a total of 19 known species exist within this family. The species all share multiple characteristics. Rather unfortunately, detailed knowledge of the amazing creature remains scarce. This regrettable lack of precise information principally occurs due to the […]
Turritopsis Nutricula Facts Most notably, the truly astonishing Turritopsis Nutricula remains one of the most astounding species ever discovered by science. Such a grand statement must be supported by fact, of course. And, in this case, at least, the carefully researched facts appear to completely support the statement. Further, exhaustive ongoing research so far confirms […]
The Julia Heliconian is a beautiful species of brush-footed butterfly. They are at present the only known extant member of their genus. Scientists have, however, identified 15 known sub-species. The Julia Heliconian remains a widely distributed insect which is also neotropical in nature. The northern edge of their primary range includes the southern tips of Texas and Florida, […]
Euscorpius Lycius Facts Euscorpius Lycius represents the name of a newly discovered species of scorpion. It also represents an arachnid part of the group commonly popular as wood-scorpions. The species remains quite new to scientists, so very little information currently remains available. For the moment, the Euscorpius Lycius seems to only exist within one small area. It […]
