  1. Nice beetle, Ernst! I got a good laugh when creating the species record because Google kept redirecting me to "Catasaurus" rather than "Catasarcus". Apparently, some people shave their cats to look like a Stegosaurus hence the term "Catasaurus".

    1. That's funny. Forgot the species name but some 2 weeks ago I did a Google image search for a binomial name, which differs only a single character from some very specific female anatomy. Google assumed I was searching for the latter, was shocked to see image results. Posted 4 years ago

        1. Lol, found it again. The ear wig "Labia minor". Try searching for that in Google Image search. Posted 4 years ago
          1. Oh, eww. Gross. We have parental controls on our desktop, so I didn't expect any images to pop up. But, they sure did. I guess anatomy is acceptable. Posted 4 years ago
