This is a fun way to find out about species that I have not seen before! Case in point - this beautiful moth

Today is Taxonomy Recognition Day! This small, elegant moth is Tinagma perdicella Zeller, 1839, a species listed as Near Threatened in Finland. Suitable habitats are diminishing due to the overgrowth of meadows and other open areas, as well as a reduction in burnt forest habitats. #NameItToSaveIt

Pelidnota cyanitarsis (Gory, 1833) - a splendid metallic scarab beetle from northeastern Brazil's unique arid, little-known and now threatened caatinga biome. #NameItToSaveIt
