Names!!!

Scientists ought not to name the species they discover…look what they have done! On second thoughts, let them…how else shall they get their due share of fun, huh?

Naja naja – the poisonous cobra
Aha ha – a stinging wasp
Oops – a tick-like creature – also a beetle, named after Oops the tick, had been named by another scientist– OOPS!
Leonardo davincii – a moth
Dracula – an orchid that supposedly resembles a bat
Pandora – a clam (Pandora opened the box of troubles and a clam is supposed to stay clammed shut, I thought!)
Anticlimax – a fossil snail
Hebejeebie – a plant. The word literally means – ‘troubles that plants cause to taxonomists’
Kamera lens – a unicellular organism
Oedipus complex – a salamander

Gammaracanthuskytodermogammarus loricatobaicalensis – an amphipod
Ia io – Chinese bat

The last 2 names are the long and short of it.

In case you didn't get the meaning, they are the longest and shortest scientific names :D
