    Cool species!

    In case you're ever bored, try pronouncing some of the localized common names for this species:

    - Almindelig guldpletrovbille
    - kangaslyhytsiipi
    - Tyranka wrzosowiskowa

    It's like a cat walked over the keyboard.     Posted 4 years ago

      Ah ah, North European countries use much more consonants than vowels.
      Common names are supposed to be easier to remember and prononce than latin names, I'm not sure it is the case here !       Posted 4 years ago
