I have an odd request. Can you show us some good obviously named critters (ie red winged blackbird)?

Or, some very fancy-named creatures that are just little guys?

Well of course there are...

Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus), family Picidae, order Piciformes, MI, USA

spring is coming. Spring IS COMING. You will stand on soft grass again, and feel the sun kiss your cheeks and shoulders. you will eat of the same berries as the animals returned from their hibernation. you will hear the air alive with your collective breathing.

So today is the Lunar New Year of the Snake.

It is also, incidentally, Threshold Day.

Therefore, may I suggest
