I have no idea on why they decided to call the common European frog Rana temporaria, but “temporary frog” sounds really funny. “Eh this species name is just temporary, I swear”.

I’m also kind of surprised I couldn’t find a single species called merdicula (little shit). Seems like the sort of humour some would have.

A bunch of species of tarantula in the Thrixopelma genus recently got moved to their own genus Ewok. This genus includes the newly discovered Ewok aycarumba.

Also “sub-”, at least in mycological names.

The other day, I read that there’s a mushroom called “Agaricus subsubensis” and I felt like I was being trolled.
