It's the return of our #TaxonomyTuesday and this wek Matilda has picked the humble #honeybee to join our #mapoflife
Due to Matilda's birthday, we're doing #TaxonomyTuesday on a Wednesday this week and she has asked to add a #BlackWidow spider to the #MapOfLife
I was going to do this #TaxonomyTuesday last week for #SharkWeek but I had already added the head louse to the #MapOfLife. So now it's time for Matilda's pick of the Sharks, the #Megalodon
For this #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has us taken back to the #Felidae with the Iberian #Lynx
It's #TaxonomyTuesday again! Thanks to Matilda we hare having a bit of a #WaterBear week. It kicks off here with a brand new #phylum being added to the #mapoflife
#Tardigrades
It's another #TaxonomyTuesday and inspired by our beach trip last week, Matilda has asked for the Lesser Spotted #Dogfish to be added to the #MapOfLife.
So here it is:
This #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has finally brought amphibians to the #MapOfLife as we add the #GoldenDartFrog
This #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has opted to include the Azure #Damselfly on the #MapOfLife and she's already picked next week's instalment.
All I'll say is that we're going somewhere we've not been yet... #StayTuned
It's another #TaxonomyTuesday and I'm surprised that it took so long for Matilda to pick #bats but we got there in the end. Inspired by @chesterzoo the #MapOfLife now includes the #RodriguesFruitBat
New to the #mapoflife this week for #taxonomytuesday Matilda has realised that we can add extinct animals to the map so here is the #elephantbird
The short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) whose species name comes from the appearance of flaming feathers flowing from the top of its body.

Matilda has decided to stick to reptiles this week as we add the #loggerheadturtle to our #mapoflife this #taxonomytuesday
I'm a bit late for #TaxonomyTuesday this week but Matilda picked a #rattlesnake for the #MapOfLife this time. After some discussion we whittled it down to a #sidewinder.
Matilda realised that we've been overlooking the bugs again, so this #TaxonomyTuesday we add a Redknee #Taratula to the #MapOfLife
This #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has asked for a European #Badger to be added to the #MapOfLife. We're getting to the point where it's becoming fun to spot the new additions now.
For this #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has finally noticed that we have been overlooking the bugs and asked for a #FieldGrasshopper. Her realisation means that we can finally add some phyla and a kingdom to our #MapOfLife
For #TaxonomyTuesday this week Matilda requested a #carpetchameleon which meant that I needed to do a bit of rearranging. I don't mind admitting I got a bit confused. The bad news for me is that it's only going to get worse from here!
This #TaxonomyTuesday Matilda has asked for a "Salty" to be added to our #MapOfLife so we now have our first true reptile to join the party, the #SaltwaterCrocodile
Thanks to @TheWorldFlora on this #TaxonomyTuesday for helping me research #taxonomy for #SciArt in @BioDivLibrary's @Flickr account, like these orchids (Otoglossum chiriquense) by Matilda Smith in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Vol. 143 (1917). https://t.co/28Xb7tdtly
Have you been lucky enough to spot one of these brilliant birds at your feeders?
The European goldfinch's scientific name is a tautonym - Carduelis carduelis - meaning the name of the genus and the individual species are exactly the same.
