Jeff Avery We've been finding quite a few of these lately.

Image of Agelaius phoeniceus from eol.org. Apparently red-winged blackbirds are really common but I did a double-take when I saw two this morning crossing the 14th St. Bridge.

Mollusca, again. I'm sure it has a specific name, but so pretty!!

Encyclopedia of life is a great source for biologists and zoologists.

Lesser Short-nosed Fruit Bat

Actias selene, Indian Moon Moth or Indian Luna Mooth.

Encyclopedia of Life - Plumeria alba

Cuttlefish Metasepia pfefferi - not only do they look great, this one has one of the best binomial names ever.

This is Earth. Welcome to biodiversity.

Our knowledge of the many life-forms on Earth - of animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria - is scattered around the world in books, journals, databases, websites, specimen collections, and in the minds of people everywhere. Imagine what it would mean if this information could be gathered together and made available to everyone – anywhere – at a moment’s notice. eol.org

Encyclopedia of Life: Website contains pictures and information about all species known to science.
